> He must have learned German from a Bavarian. I'm told they speak of a Mädl as having shaney baney (schöne Beine).
'Schöne Beine would be ca. 'scheene Beene', but they'd wouldn't say that.
A young girl unhappy with her figure might moan:
Baverian: I hob koa scheene Hax'n
German : Ich habe keine schöne Beine bzw. Meine Beine sind nicht schön
English : I don't have nice legs
An scheen gruass an Eicha! Sauguad!
