Hallo ihr lieben, welcome back to our Advent Calendar, and behind door number ____ there is a little Rätsel. A Suchrätsel, to be precise. Some of you probably know the format but for those of you who don’t, let me explain it real quick. Below, you see a box full of letters. Looks pretty random but if you look closer, there are actually words hidden in the box. And not just a few but 18 words, either going left to right or top to bottom (no diagonals, for those who are pros with these puzzles). The goal is to find them all. And not only that… if you find them all and put them in the right order, we’ll actually find out why Maria couldn’t stop laughing at the Christmas market. You can either print the picture, or you can just take a pen and a piece of paper and write down the words you’ve seen. So… viel Spaß :) Pretty tough, right :). If you want to see the solved version of the puzzle, click here: the solved puzzle. Now all you have to do is make a sentence out of those words. Let me know your solutions…

At the Christmas market Thomas was so drunk on mulled wine that he puked on Santa’s lap. (und JA, DU erhaltst kein SEX) :-)
Doch, ich erhalte :)!
==================================================================================
Du Thomas!, Der Weihnachtsmann war, ja so betrunken auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt,daß er sex (6)Glühwein auf den Schoß, dem aufgekotzt hat!
ooh weiter gehts wieder – leider
==================================================================================
Du Thomas!, Der Weihnachtsmann war, ja so betrunken auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt,daß er sex (6)Glühwein auf den Schoß, demauf, gekotzt hat!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Daumen hoch für crittermonster!
Fressen Sie als Monster auch gerne Keks?? (cookies?)
Menschen essen!
Monsters fressen!
and that’s a “quickie” German Geschlechts lesson!
This is now starting to sound like Berlinerisch with a “ja” jaw boned in the middle. “Zillerisch” google – Heinrich Zille
By the way… “demauf” kenn ich nicht.
Thomas war auf dem Weihnachstmarkt auf Glühwein so betrunken, dass er den Schoß vom Weihnachtsmann gekotzt hat.
Geht es so?
Nicht ganz.
Es muss “vom Glühwein” sein.
Thomas auf Weihnachtsmarkt dem Glühwein so betrunken, daß er den Weihnachtsmann dem Schoß
gekotzt hat.
Thomas auf Weihnachtsmarkt, war vom Glühwein so betrunken, daß er den Weihnachtsmann dem Schoß gekotzt hat.
Thomas vom Glühwein auf Weihnachtsmarkt so betrunken war, daß er den Weihnachtsmann
dem Schoß gekotzt hat.
Thomas war auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt vom Glühwein so betrunken, dass er dem Weihnachtsmann auf den Schoß gekotzt hat. ;)
“Sex” und “Ja” sind auch da….bist du wirklich sicher, dass sie sind kein Teil von dieses Rätsel?
Hmmm…. looks like hidden messages.
But seriously, how annoying!! I didn’t check the puzzle for accidental hits but they must be really frustrating!!
“Sex” in Swedish is actually the number “6”.
It doesn’t get much better than that here – seriously, the closest one gets to sex (as in the indoor sport) up here in the Cold, Snowy North is actually discussing a half a dozen of something.
You’d think with all this cold and all this dark, they’d be more interested in indoor sports. Dunno HOW this place got a reputation for porno flicks, actually. Go figure.
North Sweden is prude?
Schweden sind nicht ”prude” sondern scheinen ein bisschen ”uptight”. Sie sind nicht ”uptight, sondern schüchtern, aber scheinen ”uptight”.
Sie (die Schweden) sind sehr nett, aber sie haben Angst vor etwas falsch zu machen.
Ich nenne das ganze Schweden ”The Cold Snowy North”, weil das ganze Land so weit im Norden liegt. Ich wohne im Süden, in der Nähe von DE!
SEX, solitary and situated in the upper left section, is somehow not part of the solution?
Stimmt!
Ich schaue das Ding erst richtig?? an.
Ich finde auch:
AUF und DU
und
SEX dazu!
das Wort
ahh-ber
DIE ANTWORT
So ganz logisch ist alles immer.
auf #2 ist neben THOMAS
Du ist neben GEKOTZT
Also denn –endlich ??
========================================================================================================

Thanks out to pete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“demauf ” so wird’s sicher nur in Thüringen ‘sagt! :+)
Emanuel aber, hat leider bei den Grünen keine Zukunft!
Vielleicht bei den Roten?
Total verdeppert! Total bescheuert! Total blöd! Total doof! SSSooootal “behindert”. (laaame)
gemeint wird-
Stil passt mir total.
Falls nicht so – denn
I just don’t know.
ß
Hahahaha… neeeee. Sex und du und ja gehören NICHT zur Lösung!
Das zweite “auf” gehört zur Lösung. Ich habe vergessen, es mit meinem grünen Stift zu markieren.
I did not see that. This is a puzzle for the whole family. All I see is “isex”, which made by Apple.
Yep – deleted the “iSex” from my list when I realized it didn’t really “fit”. Ema would SO use “iSex” in a sentence, so that one was a real red herring.
Have a list of about 20 more words, in Spanish, French, Italian, Swedish and perhaps German that have snuck into the list – really act like “static” as my brain recognizes them all and tries to make sense of them in the context. “Bakt” got me as well, but it’s actually NOT a form of “backen”. Just “Bak” in Swedish means bum, bottom, buttocks. So, yeah, there was some Very Funny Stuff happening in that box of jumbled letters!
Wow, you’re really good at this, it sounds like. You should do pilot training once you’re done with German. There, you have to find lots of information in an incoherent visual mess fast :)
Wassss?? hier wird nur Glühwein ausgeschenkt!!!??
Herr Ober-
ein Radeburger und ein Doppel Korn bitte schön!
Molle mit Korn, sehr schön! Aber: Radeberger, nich -burger.
OK!
mit kotzen statt erbrechen
Ich denke es geht um “war”
Du hast geschrieben:
Auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt ___(war( Wortstellung??)____ Thomas vom Glühwein so betrunken (WAR!), dass er den Weihnachtsmann dem Schoß gekotzt hat.
Wortstellung kommt mir etwas komisch //falsch vor. sonst??
“den” beantwortet die Frage wohin ? mit acc. Richtung W-mann
“dem” beantwortet die Frage wo? mit dat. wo? im Schoß
So betrunken vom GW, war Thomas auf dem WM, daß er dem Schoß den W-mann gekotzt hat.
Thomas war auf dem W-m so betrunken vom GW,daß er den W-mann dem Schoß gekotzt hat.
Vom GW so betrunken, Thomas auf dem Wmarkt war, daß er den Schoß dem W-mann gekotzt hat.
ooh
Hallo Emanuel,
Ich möchte dich fragen wie benutze man die zwei heilige Positionen wie ” von mir aus , oder über dieses Haus tion ” und so weiter ….?
Im voraus merci
Ahmad aus
Hi Ahmed, ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob ich deine Frage verstehe… was genau soll ich erklären :)?
“von” und “über”?
I don´t know what is happening, I’ve checked the spam folder and there was nothing but this is the first posting of the Kalendar I´ve got.
Oh wow, that is really really weird! Could you tell me if you got notified about my answer here and if you got email number 18?
I understand your question is posed to Jo Alex Sg but now that you mention it…
I haven’t been notified of replies to my posts for quite some time. As in, pre-Advent Calendar. Stopped ticking the box to be notified somewhere during the Advent Calendar because there is no point.
Didn’t want to bother you with it just yet – I can imagine that CREATING (schafft, schuf, geschaffen) this Advent Calendar is taxing enough, and then monitoring the comments and replying to all of them is a lot to manage (as in accomplish: schafft, schaffte, geschafft). Didn’t want to burden you with technicalities when we’re all more interested in your brain.
The mails for the actual posts always, (since the dawn of time) arrive the EVENING or day AFTER the post has been posted. So, if one is diligent in surfing the net, one will find your post at least a day BEFORE one is notified via e-mail, but who cares, better late than never.
Ophhh… it’s bug season it seems like. Every day some small new issue pops up. Notify me is not working for the comments? That is ANNOYING. I have to look into that, I guess, but I’m actually not sure I can fix it.
As for the emails… it takes my mailer program about 15 hours to run through the list. I start sending at 6 or 7 am so you if you get it late that day that means that your mail is late in the list (alphabetical order). There really isn’t anything I can do about that except paying like 100 dollar to Mailchimp for sending out 4!!! emails per month (except now, obviously). Seriously, email list software is ridiculously costly.
Which is one of the reasons I never brought it up – it doesn’t matter – better late than never. Not a complaint, just wasn’t sure you knew and since the matter had gotten your attention anyway…
SICK + SICH
to throw up
(sich acc.) !!!! erbrechen | erbrach, erbrochen |
to be sick
(sichacc.) erbrechen | erbrach, erbrochen |
Well, to begin with, there is only ONE “auf” in the Suchrätsel.
It’s gotta be “vom Glühwein” like the pants that shrunk “vom Weihnachten”.
Because the “location” is Weihnachtsmann, he’s dative but the puking is happening INTO (direction) his lap. German on a metaphysical level…
So:
Auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt war Thomas vom Glühwein so betrunken, dass er dem Weihnachtsmann den Schoß gekotzt hat.
Berlingrabers? Abgaßßtufe? Someone, HELP!
Okay, mea culpa again.
There are two “auf” in the Suchrätsel, but I marked only one of them. The other one sits right above Schoß. I’m clearly overworked :)
Yes, you are, but we all do so Sehr Viel Über appreciate this Advent Calendar! Hopefully you’ve booked a vacation after Weihnachten – you deserve/need it!
As for the typos, they are actually HELPING us learn and TESTING us – knowing you, you’ve done it deliberately just to keep us on our toes. Your mother must me so proud!
OK: two auf’s
Auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt war Thomas vom Glühwein so betrunken, dass er dem Weihnachtsmann auf den Schoß gekotzt hat.
Last and final offer. Buy now, before the xmas rush.
Nailed it!! I’ll have three of those. One is a present.
WhooHOO! Finally.
I did laugh at the Weinhachtsmann vs. Weihnachtsmann. These days it is more about the wein than weihen. ;-) Or maybe just a statement about Berliners. ;-)
I took me FOREVER to realize that Weihnachten comes from “weihen”. Like… from age 5 to age 20, roughly :)
Um, still waiting for a verdict – the FINAL solution I sent (documented above at 06.56) is:
Auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt war Thomas vom Glühwein so betrunken, dass er auf den Weihnachtsmann dem Schoß gekotzt hat.
Is it correct? Can one kotzen “den Weihnachtsmann dem Schoß” (Puke in Santa’s lap) or do I need to go back to the drawing board?
It’s not correct yet :).
– Ich lege mir eine Jacke über die Beine.
Dative marks the receiver, the location is a destination.
You got this!!!
Hallo Leute. I just wanted to say huge thanks to all the paid subscribers who made it possible for Emanuel to give me a nice holiday present – a chance to have a membership here und weiter verbessern mein Deutsch. Ill definitely use that opportunity to show my gratitude and also to join the rest of the crew as a paid member in the near future, because the effort that is put into this site is truly worth it, and also do that the next beginner in need can have a jumpstart like me. Cheers!
Auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt war Thomas vom Glühwein so betrunken, dass er den Weihnachtsmann auf dem Schoß gekotzt hat.
Seriously, last and final version. It hit me when I was slicing my breakfast banana.
Congratulations! You put me to shame!
Anyway, I just wanted to wish you Viel Glück with your speech tomorrow (it is tomorrow, right?)
Oh Elsa! Thank you! I’m rehearsing like a Verrückter! No problem speaking in front of a crowd but do you have ANY idea how difficult it is being funny in a language one does not yet master (z.B: German)? I joke, therefore I am. Die Karte (haha?)
As an accomplished live and business coach and creative writing instructor, I would invite you to flip it around and make exactly that the humoristic center of your speech… the fact that you can’t be funny and so you try to be as unfunny as possible. Write the dullest speech ever. The jokes will write themselves.
Why didn’t I think of that? That is HYSTERICALLY funny! Perhaps my meant-to-be-comical speech will SEEM like I tried to be as bloddy boring as I could. Like kill ’em with ennui!
Alive-
Gott Sei Dank Du lebst ja,- immer noch!
Dead business coaches don’t “undertake” much business let alone accomplish any!

Ha… I actually meant life coach. One of my favorite spelling mistakes.

Sorry for bombarding you with comments, but it HIT me während I was brushing mir die Zähne: It’s not “SCHOSS” as in past tense of “erschiessen” – duh! it’s “Schoß” as in LAP, right? So, “Schoß” as in lap should work with the extra “dem” to be:
Auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt war Thomas vom Glühwein so betrunken, dass er auf den Weihnachtsmann dem Schoß gekotzt hat.
Wow, almost!!!
One last thing:
The sentence with Thomas is gonna be analogous.
Brave Kinder!
one last thing- & Rätsel

Schlaf gut!
Ok, checked the answer. „Rom“ is not „rum“ auf Deutsch. It‘s not „denn“ (nor „unbetrunken“) and there is an extra „dem“. Sorry, I can‘t fit „schoss“ and the extra „dem“ in and it‘s going to drive me to drink!
Auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt war Thomas vom Glühwein so betrunken, dass er auf den Weihnachtsmann gekotzt hat.
maybe it’s schoss-gekotzt, as in, projectile vomited? ew!
Actually, it should be “Schoß”. I was so in the “foreign spelling” mode that I messed this one up.
I love the scharfes S–it’s my favourite letter. But I thought the German language police had decided ‘ss’ was equally valid as ‘ß’?
No, it’s more complicated than that. If the vowel is pronounced long, then you have to use ß. So “schoss” is with this closed, short “o” while “Schoß” is with an open long “o”.
Before, it was kind of random, so this is a part of the reform that actually improved something.
Nope, can‘t do better than this – can‘t fit „schoss“ and „Rom“ in.
Denn auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt war Thomas vom Glühwein so betrunken, dass er auf Weihnachtsmann gekotzt hat.
You got the gist right, but not all the words :). “denn” is actually “den”. That one is really hard to decide if you don’t know the answer.
