A beautiful “Servas”, an always appropriate “Oida” or a grumpy “Schleich di”: the Viennese live their dialect – but do they love it? Especially the younger generation seems to speak it less and less. Will the Viennese go under? We asked “everyday poet” Andreas Rainer.
U4, two colleagues meet by chance. Colleague 1: “You, we don’t have to talk to each other if you don’t like it.” Colleague 2: “Fine, thanks.” Just one of the quotes that Andreas Rainer places on cards on social media and on his website wieneralltagspoeten.at print, writes in books.
The ‘everyday poet’, to whom a broad community of more than 260,000 followers on Facebook and Instagram has long reported humorous events in Vienna, pricks up his ears like no other. And listen carefully to the younger generation.
