German. It naturally sounds so aggressive that if someone speaks German to you and it doesn't sound rude, they must be trying really hard.
Hallo, möchtest du meine Steuererklärung sehen? ;)
Lass uns unsere Steuerklassen zusammenlegen
Zeig mir bitte vorher deine Schufa Auskunft
Du musst deine Steuern bis Ende Juli einreichen. 😏
Omg stop it. I'm getting hot and sweaty. 😄
Softly spoken German in an intimate setting can really do it for me.
Loudly spoken German can also do it for me for entirely different reasons.
Yeah, I didn't think German was anything special until a few years ago when I attended a German language group just for fun, on a whim. There was a native speaker there that I spoke to, and unexpectedly I just... I don't even know.
Anyhow, we ended up dating for a while.
Still have a weakness for the German language.
I never would've expected it until it happened, just barely above a whisper, loud enough for me to hear and not anyone else....
Huh. That's interesting. I'm native Spanish speaker and I find German (actually, most Germanic languages including English) a bit toned down, lacking most harsh sounds I associate with aggressive tone.
