RE: Man finds no crypto with metal detector - Jogging in Cala Millor

As a German, I always have to chuckle whenever I unexpectedly see or hear someone use the word "Scheiße" while talking English.

May I ask where you are actually coming from?

Sort:  

Yes, I'm English. I believe it's pronounced 'shi-ze', meaning 'crap' or 'shit'? :)

Hopefully soon I'll hear 'Big fat titties potato salad' coming out of the bars too :D

Hahahaha, oh, my, I haven't ever seen that song being referred to in english :D But yeah, I am sure you will soon.

Yes, "Scheiße" means "Shit". If I were to paraphrase it, I would say

"Sh" "I" "s" "a"

The "Sh" sounds just like in "She"
The "I" just like in "I"
the "s" is basically a hissing s like in "bars"
The "a" as in "a""ago"

Putting that together should give you the correct way to pronounce it.
