I'm used to the amish dialect here, so kleiner had me fucked up for a minute. IDK the spelling, but they'd say "wenitch" or maybe "grubich". Der wenitch kendis - the little candies. Their swear words are hilarious, too.
That comes from the German 'wenig' = 'not much'
Proper German: kleiner/kleines/kleine/kleinen, depending on the word in question.
Frankfurt slang 'Plattdeutsch', we say 'klah' for all four of those. It makes people that speak proper 'Hochdeutsch' go nuts.
That's funny. They make my high school german worthless. I hear "denki" and I just think "you lazy bastards"
