nothing's wrong with it, it's just not the you plural form I'm looking for. It's from a regional dialect and not a formal word that all English speakers share.

Do you think I should take a class to lose my Southern accent?

Oh, to be quite honest. Beeing a nativ german I never figured out what sounded so funny with "Ich bin ein Berliner". It is absolutely correct to say that and it realy means "I am one of the citizens of Berlin". But the second sentence you used the shorter form "Ich bin Berliner" is more usual by far and if at all possible more correct there is no doubt about the meaning it's more like "I'm a citizen of Berlin".

So now to the Pastry thing. Yes there is a certain pastry which in some parts of germany is called "Berliner". It is comparable to a doughnut but without the hole in the middle. In Berlin however this is pastry is called a "Krapfen" not to mix up with "Karpfen" the fish.

No one with any brain in his mind would do a statemen which would say "Ich bin ein Krapfen" so germans wouldn't understand JFK's statement in that way though I must admit that it can indeed be read like that if one has bad intends....


Darekill - wonderful. Thanks! I'm so glad you are part of our community.
