-.42 is how Cent are declared. it's not "minus point 42", but "blank point 42".

The sentence I saw this in der sendung mit der Maus is a valid argument in germany to finish a discussion

The 116117 is included in your general health insurance, you don't pay anything extra in Germany.

6:51 My little daughter and my wife were flown by helicopter from the holiday island of Borkum to the nearest city on the mainland due to suspicion of concussion. The fun only cost us 10 euros. Truly an affordable North Sea sightseeing flight.

Now I'm waiting for "Next Week in Germany" xD

116117 is also the number in Finland if you need not really an ambulance , but are worried whether you can wait until morning ; you'll get to speak with a professional and get advice of what to do. And in Finnish the word for Germany is "Saksa" , from the Hansa-merchants from Sachsen..👍

The -.41 means 0,41€, so 41 Cents. The - in frot of the Price means 0, it's just the way it is being written mostly.

the reason why germany has different names is that different countries had contact with a different german tribe. alleman,Teuton,German and the best tribe, "foreigner" from the east

the - is used instead of a 0 to prevent manipulations. a 0.99 can be changes into a 90.99, but you cant change a -.99 into a 9.99 without noticing it (for hand writen numbers)

We have a similar NHS service in the UK by ringing 111 when you just want to talk to someone about whether you have a serious medical condition or not. This is as an alternative to 999 (US 911) which is a Paramedic response. I used it two weeks ago. First got through to someone who was obviously not a Doctor or Nurse but went through a detailed questionnaire with me, obviously using an on-screen computer system to direct her. She said she was passing me on to a A & E (ER) nurse who rang me back within 10 minutes, she went through a triage questionnaire with me and determined that I needed to go to Hospital. She contacted the Paramedics and got feedback that because I wasn’t high priority e.g not having a heart attack, stroke, bleeding profusely, the Paramedics may take up to 2 hours but if I deteriorated then ring back as I was logged on their system and they would respond. To cut a long story short they came in 2 hours and 15 mins, I spent 3 days in hospitals and am now doing fine. God bless 111 and as always under the NHS, all totally free of charge.

1:42 During normal working hours, your family doctor (German: Hausarzt, literally: house physician) is obliged to make home visits if going to the practice is not possible or reasonable due to illness. 116117 are on-call doctors when your family doctor's practice is closed (weekends, public holidays or when your family doctor is sick or on vacation). In acute cases at night, you might only go to the hospital or call an ambulance (112). In contrast to ambulances and hospitals, 116117 is usually carried out by resident doctors. Resident doctors (German: Niedergelassene Ärzte) of the area organize themselves

6:50 "I speak 000" made me laugh more than it should xD

10 euros is the typical payment for an ambulance here, that a transported person has to pay (the main cost is covered by the insurance by law). 'Mahnkosten' for an invoice only appears if you pay the bill to late.

As a german the 116117 is a short call to a doctor that is for things you need when your usual doctor has no office hours, but it is not life-threatenign so you need a ambulace. In most town you have a lokation where you can go on weekends daytime ect. called "Bereitschaftspraxis" and it is usually included in you health insurance. Sometimes you have to pay a single time payment which is 10 Euros per visit. But compared to american bills for doctors.... But you are forced to have a health insurance here in germany in it is payed in a fixed percentage of your income. So you hece less net.income, but you alos have to pay less from it, in case you are sick and need help.

The reason for the different names are, that in Latin, the people settling in today's Germany were called Germanii. That's, where English, Italian, Greek and Romanian took their word from. But the Germanic tribe of the Alamans was settling in today's Southwest Germany at the upper Rhine, and thus, all countries Southwest of Germany call it Alemannia or something similar. The Old German word "deot" (alternative spellings like duit or theod are also possible) means people, thus the German people called themselves "deotse" or "Deutsche", and their land "Deutschland". So do all other Germanic languages like Dutch, Frisian, Swedish, Danish or Norwegian, the latter using the Old Norse variant Tysk (from Old German deotisc - of the people). The Slavic tribes were naming their neighbors "without tongue": Ne-mečy, as they didn't speak Slavic. Hence the variants of the "Nemečko"-theme all around Eastern Europe. And the Finns, the Samic people and the Estonians? They encountered the (Nether-)Saxon seafarers and trade ships first of all Germanic tribes, hence their name for Germany is Saksa.

In the U.S., if you have a number 0.xxxx, you often write .xxxx instead. In Germany, you replace the 0 by --, thus 0.xxxx turns into --.xxxx It is actually not a minus sign, but a long dash, crossing out the numbers before the decimal point.

I called at 116117 because I had a panic attack at 3 am and I also had a female doctor with a male nurse at my housem They gave me a sleeping pill and I slept like a baby.

5:00 it's not negative. For prices like 5.00€ we write 5,-- or 5,-. Just writing a dash for the 0. You can more quickly write it by hand. It can also be in the front, as you saw. -,50 or --,50 for 50 cents.

The fact that Ryan knows the name of countries in the EU is amazing.

Reminder costs are added to an invoice if you forget to pay an invoice.

I worked the 116117 service on sunday. Its a nice additional job but there was hardly any work and i sat around in my office and did some paperwork. You get like 100-140€ for each visit from the insurance. so when there are 10-15 patients in one shift then its quite good, but I had 3...

Lot of engagement over a few cents😂can't get more german!you all have a nice day!❤

Yes the negative before the decimal point just means zero 0 euros man !

"The door has a handle!" is also quite common instead of letting it just close itself with a *CLANK! *CLONK!* :D

We have a similar service in Austria, 1450, which wasn't so well known to people before, but got promoted a lot during the pandemic. They're awesome. I had a doctor come to my house one night during summer 2020 and I have called them when I wasn't sure whether to call an ambulance. They talk through your symptoms and will send a doctor or an ambulance depending on the over the phone diagnosis.

9:20 The country next to Norway is called Sweden and not Finland.

"Why don't you call Germany 'Germany' , even in Germany?" Let's think about that for a millisecond! Maybe it's because that's English?

The different names for Germany result from various sources and areas of contact throughout history. The indigenous word "Deutsch" originates from Old High German, essentially meaning "of the people" (cf. Dutch). Some neighbors adopted names from ancient Germanic tribes, such as the Alamanni tribe in the Southwest, as well as the Teutons and Saxons in the North. The English name "German" is derived from Latin, based on a term the Romans used for a bunch of Germanic tribes (although no specific tribe likely used that name). The Slavic names are kind of funny, since they simply mean "mute", i.e. "unintelligible". Basically, they call the Germans "Barbarians" 😄

My primary care physician ( here in Germany)makes house calls. My neighbor’s husband had the flu so badly. He made it into the office but the doctor refused to allow him to come in for follow ups. The doctor, checked on him at home to make sure he was improving at the end of the day twice that week.

My father (a doctor) is doing those house visits. Sadly it's unbelievable for what some people call a doctor at night. Their mother didn't drink the whole day and he had to go there at 2am sitting there for 1h till she drunk a glass of water. Or people who don't want to wait at the doctor call for a house visit. So while it is a nice thing that you can get a doctor if it is needed but people abusing it, is a real problem these days. =(

12:00 my first thought was "Yeah, that's a really long time!", then I realized you actually meant the opposite.😂

About the county name, it's pretty normal, that it is called different around the world. Another example the famous country called Nippon (Japan).

You call the hotline also when your have medical questions and don't know if you should call an ambulance. They help you and either they send you a digit or have a doctor call you and talk to you if it is not necessary that he would come to you. 24/7 it's really nice and it takes great if the emergency number for real emergency

-.42 is the discounter version of .42 They "strikethrough" the Euro amount and leave the cents. It’s quite obvious if you’re used to it - But now thinking about it, I‘ve never seen it be used elsewhere besides super markets

As for the names of Germany, that has to do with Germany being Germany only for the last 150 years or so. Before that it was... difficult. A lot of the German names stem from the time when it was a very diverse bunch of tribes. The German term "Deutsch" comes from the old German word "diutisc" which means "of the people". The Latin term "Germania" (that is also used in Engish) came from the Roman Empire. What is now France was settled by the Gallic tribes and what is now Germany was settled by the Germanic tribes. The French and Spanish name came from the "Alemannen" a tribe that lived in what is now South Western Germany. The slavic term (all that starts with "nim-" or "nem", purple on the map) is difficult to pinpoint exactly. There are two major theories. One claims that the names for Germany derive from the proto-slavic word for "foreigner". The other theory claims that the name stems from another German tribe the "Nemeter". Some others still call it after another German tribe, the Saxons (which by the way is the orgin of the saxon in anglo-saxon). Btw. there were more German tribes that found their way into the languages meaning something different. There was for example the German Tribe of the "Vandals". That name was assoicated with wanton destruction after the Vandals sacked the city of Rome in 455 A.D.

In Germany you see often price tags where the zero before or after the point was replaced by a dash. Afaik it is however only correct after the point (replacing e.g. 1.00 with 1.-). The ambulance invoice is rather low, because it covers only the co-payment. A regular, non-emergency ambulance transport (e.g. if you have to go to a surgery, but can't drive yourself or use a cab) has in general to be approved by the insurance beforehand, otherwise you'll get an invoice of around 100 - 200 Euro (depending on region and distance). The 0.00 is however not the total, but the reminder charge (because it seems to be the first reminder, which is in most cases without charge). The name "Germany" goes back to the Romans. There was never a tribe calling themselves "Germani", but many small tribes as well as a few confederacies of tribes calling themselves "Franks" (the Free), "Alemanni" (all together) and "Saxons" (after the sax, a short sword) all speaking languages closely related to each other. Those groups founded their own kingdoms after Rome was on the decline (as well as the Marcomanni (= border settlers, a subgroup of the Suebi, which also absorbed some other tribes) and the Thuringians); all those kingdoms were then defeated and conquered by the Franks and became duchies with the Frankish Empire. To the Franks in West Francia the region of East Francia became Allemagne (after the Alemanni). The Finns and Estonian knew only the people from the Duchy of Saxony. Since the Slavic people did at first not understand the German tongue and vice versa, they called them "mutes" - niemcy (or a variation of it) in their languages. The Germans called themselves Saxons, Franks, Thuringians, Alemanni, Suebi (some Suebi tribes were members of the Alemanni, others migrated to Iberia and founded a kingdom in Galicia and northern Portugal) and Bavarians (presumably defeated Marcomanni taking over the name of the Celtic Boii and absorbing Romanized Celts as well as Roman-Syrian settlers and mercenaries south of river Danube). "Deutsch" was their language ("thiudisk", meaning the language of the people, in contrast to Latin, the language of scholars, priests and lords), an after a Saxon dynasty was elected for king in East Francia, they started to call the king of East Francia "König der Deutschen", king of Germans, and his realm "Deutsches Königreich" (German kingdom). (Nobody seems to be sure, what the origins of the Roman word "Germani" are. In Latin it means sth. like "brother from the same father", and it was also the name of an obscure tribe in the eastern part of Spain in the 4th century BC. Some historians assume a Celtic (Gaul) origin like Old Irish 'gair' (neighbor) or 'gairm' (war cry). In English the Germans were originally known either as Dutch or a Saxons, Alemannics and so on. But after the Netherlands became independent, "Dutch" became reserved to them. Birthrates in Germany are still higher than in Italy or Spain...

My attempt to explain the "negative signs" on price tags: this dash ("-") usually represents one or more zeroes of the price. Furthermore, in Germany we use the comma as decimal separator, and not the "." as in many other countries, so that -,49 € is 0.49 € , and 10,- € is exactly 10.00 €.

I even got sued in District court by the local gas company, I was able to clear it up, but still was supposed to pay the 58€ fees of the dispute, but when I got the receipt, it showed that the 58€ were already covered and I had to pay nothing.

If the ambulance is not an emergency you also have to pay in Germany... i had a "car accident" where i was hit by a car as a pedestrian and since i was bleeding pretty badly i called an ambulance and was taken to the hospital.... because the EMTs filled out something wrong my insurance said it wasn't an emergency and they sent me a bill... i mean it was 48€ and a quick call to explain them what happened and they told me i didn't have to pay... but there's still instances where you do have to pay for an ambulance in germany (it's not all that much though)

The 10€ ambulance cost probably is a "medical taxi/cab" with next to no medical care. My knowledge from when I did EMS in 2010: A normal ambulance starts around 120+€ (reduced for very short trips) plus additional cost per distance. Emergency ambulance is 650+€ and an on ride doctor adds another 300€ flat. Your insurance still covers all of that, but it is not as cheap as 10€. EMS has to pay wages, vehicles, the station, training and material. Well, material is billed on top of transportation, but only the real prices and not the mede up US hospital prices. But they can't work at a loss.

Yeah Germany and noise complaints 😂 a few days ago I had to hurry and ran through my apartment and a few minutes later I got a message that I was walking to loud! I learned about 116117 a year ago while on vacation in Bavaria, the handle from a pot full of boiling water broke and I spilled it all over my thigh!

-,42 is basically just to make sure that you know that the amount listed is in Cents and not in Euros It could also be written as 0,42€ but for historical reasons it's not

116-117 is the hotline for the general practitioner emergency service in Germany. You must say to the call enter agent your address. You then tell the call center agent your symptoms, for example severe earache, and they will give you the address and telephone number of the ear, nose and throat doctor in your area. If you can't move because of back pain, a doctor will come to your home. In addition to the GP, ophthalmologists and ENT doctors are on emergency duty at weekends and on public holidays. The GP's emergency practice is always located in the Catholic hospital where I live. The specialists prefer to provide emergency service in their own practices.

Here in Austria 🇦🇹 we got something called "Hausärztlicher Notdienst" who either give you a recipe for the meds you need or come by and check you up. Number in Upperaustria is 141. It is covered by the basic insurance. As in many other European states, the basic medical insurance is not dependent on your workplace. So you are not delivered to the grace of a corporation. Being helped as a sick person is a basic human right after all.

To see a american, looking a Eu map, where every country is labeld with their name for germany, and named every country correct, is something Iám glad to see nowadays....^^

With regard to the „prescription by phone“, I think that is a rather new thing that only became possible with the introduction of „e-recipes“ on January 1st. Since then the MD can simply add the prescription in your health insurance data, accessible for a pharmacy on presenting and scanning your health insurance chip card, so you or someone else can pick up the prescription medication there. (Before the introduction of the e-recipe it was always legally required to get a signed prescription form from the doctor, on paper.)

Last week was really interesting! Learned a lot about my own country, thank you xD

8:45 I am on the list, being a German living in Austria (and so is also my son, Medical student in Austria, but with German citizenship, or my daughter living in Canada working in Film Production.)

I don't know about the rest of the EU countries but I'm willing to bet a similar service is available. Here in France, if you are unable to physically go to the hospital, you can request a in-home visit from a mobile doctor also. This also applies to daily nurse care to help change bandages, administer medicine, etc. Americans have be brainwashed into believing they don't deserve such care without paying through the nose.

5:28 the "negative sign" in that case is simply to show that what ever is before the decimal is omitted. Same with the pfand, it says that there is 25 cents deposit on it. + 0,25€, again with the zero omitted turns it into + -,25. Some also write values that way without post-decimal numbers, so 12,- instead of 12,00 but that is more common in handwritten numbers. google translate didn't really help with that either. There is no unit and the sign uses a decimal point when a decimal comma is how things are written here.

10:18 the russian pronunciation of the "G" in "Germanija" is like in "Greece". And the "ij" is like the "y" in "yes".

In Austria the number is 141 for the "Ärztefunkdienst" (radio doctor's service would be a literal translation) which will advise you via phone or send a doctor to you, instead of an ambulance (which is 144 and reserved for emergencies) day and night.

I called 116117 twice during the first year after my daughter was born. Both tunes she was ill during the weekends and both time also after 8 pm. We were unsure if her symptoms were bad enough to warrant going to the hospital. The doctors at 116117 ask very precisely about her symptoms and if she had other specific symptoms they would be worried about. In the end both times we got a list of symptoms for which to look out for, which would warrant a trip to the ER or a second call to them so that they could sent a doctor. All in all good experiences, though I agree that they are understaffed as we had to call multiple times to get the call picked up.

In Italian the country is called Germania but the Germans are called Tedeschi (pronounced Tedeski) which is the latin derivation of the word Teutonic.

116117 is in germany a service number for getting appointment to specialised docs normally. due a lack of for example cardiologist this service helps to gets appointments faster than 3months... in emergencys like this normally you call 112 wich is equal to 911 in US. Exeption is only the price you wont pay for it in a emergency. the -.xx€ just means 0,xx€ at third example the person had to pay 10€ for the transport. the 0,00 are "Mahnkosten" = reminder cost. So its first letter for this bill. If you miss to pay next time its gonna raise to 5,00 reminder cot normally

There are many 116 numbers btw, for example 116123 is sucide prevention, 116111 is the teenager helpline etc. There is also the parenting number and even a "helpline ukraine" which afaik sadly only operates 3 hours a day.

Health insurance in Germany technicaly isn't free. You don't need to pay a bill from the doctor by yourself, because your insurance does this. But you have to pay your insurance company monthly and it is usually 14-15% of your monthly salary.

the "-,xx" is used instead of "0,xx" to make fraud harder. With "0,xx" you can add any number in front and rase the price. that is impossible with the "-" in front. It's not that of a problem today but was in the past. That is the reason you see on very old price tags a marking in front of the price (" '12,99 DM "). All to make it harder to temper with the price. Today only the "-,xx" survived because people expected to see it.

What you called Finland, is Sweden

The polish word for Germans means basically “the foreigners”

6:00 If you look a little analytical at this you will notice "+ -.25" at the top. Now what does that tell you? Obviously it has a "+" sign and a "-." signs before the number. 1. Seems to be a plus as in "additional". 2. The "-" and "." and number seems to be what is to be added. 3. "." looks like the decimal separator, doesn't it? So with the "plus" (+) in front everything following denotes the amount. So in front of "." are the whole Euros and behind the "." are the decimals (1/100 = cents) in Euro. So it follows that "-" is used for "00" (zero) Euros and the "25" is for 25 cents. Now go down and figure what -.41 means. Was that so complicated?

@7:22 the bottom 0.00€ is the payment reminder. So if you dont pay your 10€ fee for ambulence you need to pay a reminder fee that increases if you dont pay.

And to add to all those comments for the "-.42" for the Icetea, it is correct: They reduced the price for astounding 1 cent 🤣

Billiger = cheaper ! The ice tea was ONE cent cheaper !!! 😁 Or " Much a do about nothing !"

I am German and absolutely did not know about 116 or 117. That's very good to know. Especially if you feel like you can't leave the house but the ambulance would be too much because its not that dire.

What many people forget is that when they call 116 or 117 they should not call because of a cold or an ingrown toenail. If the caller was turned down as you read out, then it wasn't an emergency and they should get their ass to the GP.

there are hydraulic arms which are supposed to close the street doors - smoothly and calm. Highlight is 'supposed'. Due to temp difference sommer / winter and the viscosity of the hydraulic fluid used the 'spring power' needs a seasonal adjustment, ca. around early April and Mid November. Else the hydraulic lever will slam the door regularly. If the spring power isn't readjusted when winter starts the door might not be fully closed. Handwriting appears female to me. So presumably it's an old Lady living in an apartment somewhere near that door. She better should call the landlord and demand it to be fixed. I was surprised to learn that you guys do not even know the 'Notarzt' (emergency doc) system we have. Free ambulance ride, ok, that idea already made it across the pond, I see. A 'doc on duty' service didn't, yet. I think those rich guys in America zone you out from essential basics every human being should have in an advanced society. That's a no brainer, that anyone would want that.

The “naming map” of Germany can be divided into three sections 1. The Roman conquered territories call us "GERMANES" 2.The Slavic countries call us the "non-understanders" like the Poles for example (Niemcy) 3. Which were "conquered" by German tribes, the ALLEMANNEN During the migration they had almost completely migrated around the Mediterranean, and in Swabia and parts of Switzerland people still speak today with the "Alemannic dialect" and the Finns often had "visits" from Saxony ;)....probably during the Hanseatic period in the 12th century the yellow spot in Russia ?! There lives a minority of "Volga Germans" who were invited by Catherine the Great during Tsarist times

Let me explain some names for the country of Germany: The French "Allemagne" comes from one of the German tribes. The "Alemannen". They were located in the southwest of Germany next to where France is today. So I guess the yellow ones were inspired by the French name. "Germany" or "Germani" in Latin is the name for the tribes at the northern border of the Roman empire given by the Romans. Julius Ceaser made it popular by using it in "De bello Gallico". "Deutschland" comes from old German "diutisc" which means "belonging to the people". I think it was originally used to describe the people who weren't able to speak Latin, which was the language of the ruling monarchs and clerics in the Holy Roman Empire (the German empire in medieval times). Also Tyskland is not pronounced with the English 'Y' sound. It's more like 'Tiskland'. The Slavic name apparently means something like stranger or mute. So I guess communication between Slavic and German tribes must've been very difficult. The Finnish one is the name for the German tribe of the Saxons. I have no idea what the Baltics were thinking and apparently no one has.

I once had a sale in a Lidl where a product got cheaper by 0 cents. Exact same price and yet it was still a discount.

The night train from Amsterdam to Vienna (ÖBB nightjet NJ40421) has a journey time of 13:49 hours. Tickets are available from 29.90 EUR.

The route Amsterdam to Vienna is also very nice by train. I live about smack in the middle and have done both legs. Plus the route is sus. Via Karlsruhe/Stuttgart is a 4 hr detour along the horrible A8 when you could just go via Essen/Frankfurt/Nueremberg.

Welcome to the civilized world: If I want to talk to my doctor, I call between 8 and 9. If I want an appointment I call after 9, or do it on the net. If I want to renew my perscriptions, I do it on the net, or call the secretary. (She sends them to ALL the chemists in the country twice a day.) Video consultations is an option. But they STILL do home call. Like if you can't move, or eg. children and old folks can be tricky to transport. The cost? I don't know. I pay my taxes and the medicin cost will NOT break my budget.

You don’t pay for the service of 116117 or the doctor visiting you. But you may have to pay a small amount for prescriptions (like 5-10€ per medication prescribed).

12:24 AHHH that Train is from my Hometown Essen. Die guten alten Stadtbahnwagen Typ B (B80C/S) 😂

The "-" sign isn't meant to be a "negative" sign in this context but it's used instead of a "0". It's somewhat common practice to display prices below 1 € as something like "-.41" rather than "0.41". (You can also do it the other way around if you have an amount of exactly 1 € or any other whole number and write it as "1.-" instead of "1.00".) I don't know if there is any good reason reason for doing it that way, but maybe it makes people "feel" like it's even cheaper if there are only two digits instead of three or it makes it more obvious at a first glance that it's less than one Euro.

Sometimes we write price tags like " 25,- " and that means EUR 25 and the other way around " ,-42 " it means EUR 0.42 ... it's a little bit old fashioned nowadays tho but Lidl sticks to that

Last one: they could ask the landlord to have the closing mechanism adjusted to lower force, problem solved.

116117 ist a hotline that usually is free. Its about all services. If you got a heartattack or something you better call the 112 and Emergency Docter and Ambulance are coming as fast as a rocket, but the 112 has sometimes overload.. Its the same number for firefighting, but firefighting always workis, because we firefighters are millions.

I think 116117 is a relatively new 'service' (honestly, I often forget they are an option, myself and this video just reminded me of them again), which was implemented to help with finding a doctor (GPs and specialists) relatively quickly, as this can be pretty tricky these days. I think there are even rules that say how much time it's ok for them to take to be able to pointing you to the doctor you need. I suspect you need to be kind of 'lucky' after calling them, I was actually a little surprised they were actually sending doctors there and then (which is of course amazing!). Though, they are also the number you can call when you need help asap (and maybe don't have the option to see your GP the next day, or feel like you can't wait that long), but don't feel the need to go to the ER or call an ambulance. Because it's also a problem that some people go straight to the ER (or call an ambulance) when there isn't an actual emergency. Yeah, medical services are essentially 'free' when you have insurance, which is obligatory here in Germany. For some things you still might have to pay, but nowhere near the ridiculous amounts you need to pay in the US (under certain circumstances dentists may be some kind of exception there, though). Oh, and apart from the hotline and the ER, there's also always a doctor on duty in some kind of 'emergency office', I think often close to the/a hospital (at least in my city they are).

its always 10€ its like Co-pay. You also have to pay 10€ for every day in the hospital for the first 4 weeks or something, after that its free. And i believe anything above 4% of your income in these payments, which includes prescribed medication from a pharmacy, is free too. Medication also has this co-pay 5 or 10€ per drug. For chronic ill people its 2% of their income i believe. These 2 or 4% is the maximum you pay per year unless you want some special non prescribed drug or some non insured thing. Of course on top of the like 14% or something which gets automatically deducted from your salary by your employer. People often overlook this but this is a couple of thousand a year too.

WE are used to Put a dash in Front or behind te comma in Case there ist No value for. Example 1,00 =1,- or 0,50 = -,50

It's a common misconception that healthcare is free in Germany. To shed some light on this: Every employee with statutory health insurance must pay a monthly contribution rate of 14.6% of the employer's gross salary as a monthly health insurance contribution. The employer and employee share this contribution equally, so that 7.3% of the gross salary is ultimately deducted from your monthly pay slip. Health insurance funds may also levy an additional contribution, which is only paid by the employee. In 2024, this will be between 0.6% and 2.2%, depending on the statutory health insurance fund chosen. There is also a contribution assessment ceiling of 69,300 euros per year. This means that no more health insurance contributions are due on every additional euro you earn. If you earn more than this amount, you can also opt for private health insurance. People who earn less money are not eligible and cannot take out private health insurance. However, there are private supplementary insurance policies for people with compulsory statutory health insurance if you want to cover services that are not covered by public health insurance (e.g. dental implants).

In the US, if the problem is back pain, you'd probably take an Uber/taxi. If you don't need the specialized medical service, the ambulance is overkill. I did have to take an ambulance last year when I suffered a badly broken arm. I was never billed (I have insurance).

You have to have health insurance in Germany. This is not free it costs around 15% of your salary of which your employer pays half and you the other half. There is also private insurance but as you get older it ends up costing more and once you get it, you cannot easily go back into the state insurance system, I never have an issue getting a doctor or an ambulance. You are charged 10 Euros per night if you stay in hospital for the food. You also have to pay for some X rays and of course your medicines.

The iced tea had the old price of -,42 € == 0,42 €. Therefore the price is crossed out. The translator used distorts the meaning. The indication for a negative price would be - 0,42 €. Note that a dot separates the thousands and the comma separates the decimal places 1.000.007,42

everyone explains how -,41€ = 0,41€ but noone tells him that a ´´disposable´´ bottle shouldnt have a ´´deposit´´ ! its like this american watercompany selling their water with the promise to replant the forests- while selling their water in disposable plastic bottles . after i saw it i took out my textmarker and underlined the word ´´disposeable´´ 2 days later i saw the convinience store packing the bottles up and sending them back to the seller xD

Hela Delikat Curry Ketchup is amazing. Seriously. But it's pricey. (like Heinz)

It is not a minus it is a dash for the missing Euro figure when you show cent values like -,25 €. Some of the different names stem from the different tribes the people met. There are the "Alemanni" or more north the "Teutonic" or "Germanic" tribes. In Finnish it is Saska from the Saxon tribe. Niemcy, the slavic name means "voiceless" because they were unable to talk to each other.

That thing about the noisy car doors is very common on the countryside and with the elderly. Heard it many times from anyone in our village and around, but never when I used to live in the city

The price isn’t just written like that for 0,42€ being -,42€ but also for like 2,00€ being 2,-€

Maybe you wanna ask Laura Kampf for a collaboration. She’s a presenter on the Maus show, but holds her maker channel in English. She recently moved to LA, since she married. I hope, I summed it up somewhat okay.

5:50 that "-.42" means 42 cents, the minus is just a placeholder for a 0. you often see it if something is 25€ and they write "25,--" to tell you it´s exactly 25€ 7:10 that last line is the extra charge if you don´t pay the 10€ on time. total cost in this case is 10€ 11:30 ketchup and curry ketchup are 2 very different things, it´s like you compare a tomato sauce and ketchup. i personally don´t really like normal ketchup either, but curry ketchup is a whole different thing

Big misconception: There is no *free* health care in Germany. But there is public health care and private health care. In private health care you pay less when you are young and healthy and more when you are getting older and less healthy. In public health care you pay less when you earn less and more when you are earn more. But In both cases, you have to pay. Anyway, most of the treatment is (usually) included, so you don't have to pay extra money for being treated. I do not understand why Americans think that health care is free in Germany.

Might happen, that they f... up when reading in your insurance card, then it's like 650€, but of course you can object to that and they should correct it...

116117 is a very valuable and convenient service, but because it's decidedly not for urgent emergencies, sometimes the waiting time is two hours until somebody shows up. Which won't kill you if you've only thrown out your back, but you'll spend another two hours in agony.

Hi Ryan, Germania is the wrong name. There were huuuundreds of german tribes like the Wikinger, Allemannen (Southwest), Bajuwaren (Bayern/Bavaria), Sachsen (Saxons), Wandalen, Barbaren etc. etc. And somehow the "Teutonen" ruled the name of the first state, the First "Reich" (empire) which was called Heiliges Römisches Deutscher Nation (Holy Roman Empire (of) German Nation), which has existed after the Fall of Rome (+-500 a. C.) until 1871, when the final "Deutschland/Deutsches Reich" was founded. This was the Second Reich. The Third Reich of course was founded in 1933 before WW2.

The number is 116117 not 116 or 117It is not negative 42 cents (-,42) it say 42 cants. the dash is to ensure everybody understands nothing before the comma. The dash replaces the 0. So 0,42c equals to -.42c

5:52 zero dollars and 42 cents. you guessed it right :)
