The American equivalent would be “nosy Nellie.”  Or possibly a “buttinsky”
(someone who is always butting into other people’s business or
conversations).

Hi, Ingmar!

Btw your non Mennonite clip, is that from the US? I thought it was just
East Frisian, it sounds so much like Groningen Low Saxon.

I thought it is somewhere in the North American Midwest. Also, they mention
American businesses. I may be wrong, though, considering that just now I
heard them mention Aldi, a German grocery chain.


In the comments the uploader says that his grandparents stem from Vechta.
Aldi is a German chain by origin, but they also have more than 1000 stores
in the US now.
