Lmao thats exactly what I said "auer"

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Auer is an Austrian baking shop, so in Austria it's usually "Aua" to express hurt

Are there really regions that pronounce the -er?
Sounds very...formal for an emotional outcry ;⁠-⁠)

Im not a native deutsch speaker, so I write it as it sounds/as i see other people write it

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Well, it would usually be the more correct way to write the word, as in many dialects the -er is a lazy -a
