What does my stein say

7 comments

1. May your life always be graced by health, happiness and contentment. 

2. Dein Leben 
   schmücke 
   jederzeit 
   Gesundheit, 
   Glück, Zu(-) 
   Friedenheit 
   Translation: may your life be decorated at all times with health, luck and satisfaction

3. Obligatory unhelpful “Nobody in Germany uses these tacky things, and we certainly wouldn’t call them Stein, you uncultured swine” comment.

4. It’s says Vöslauer. That’s a brand of mineral water.

   And the Stein in the center says

   May your life always be adorned with health, happiness and contentment.

   While Glück also translates as luck, the Stein context is not gambling here.

   Zufriedenheit can also be translated as satisfaction, but here it means “that you’re (always) be happy with what you got”. This implies not (just) modesty but also a sufficient supply of what you need to be content.

5. looks like an urn

6. “May your life always be graced by health, luck and contentment.” (It rhymes in German)
   In before the obligatory “nobody in Germany calls these steins, and also nobody would be stupid enough to use such a tacky tourist nonsense” comments full of badly concealed smugness.

7. It say that you are not German and do not seem to know that this is a Krug 😄
