Talk:Anderster

I would refrain from calling "anderwie" a propper german word. It is colloquial.

neologism
For me as a german native speaker, i would consider it a dialect Form of "anders". In Southern Germany (Baden-Württemberg), i know it as a non written dialect form. If you would write it, it could be written "anderster" or "anasta", dependenng on the local dialect. In the dialect form, it is a replacement, not a comperative. You could say "Wasser hammer net, da mußt wo anasta hin" for "We don't sell water, you have to go to another place to buy some" or "Der ist anasta als..." for "He if different then ..." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.12.56.150 (talk) 17:43, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Translation of Anderster
WIZO occasionally sends out a "WIZOMAIL" newsletter. In autumn of 2004, they sent two emails announcing the album (yes, I still have emails from nearly a decade ago). These emails were in German with an English translation included. I have copied verbatim some relevant excerpts (removing linebreaks):

2004-09-28: 2. Neues WIZO-Album "ANDERSTER" kommt! Ja, richtig gelesen, es ist soweit: Das erste WIZO-Album im neuen Jahrtausend wird noch dieses Jahr zu haben sein! 14 Songs, inklusive aller fünf "STICK-EP"-Stücke, nagelneu und garantiert mit ein paar Überraschungen auch für Dich! "ANDERSTER" heißt das gute Stück, weil es eigentlich ganz anders werden sollte und dann aber noch "anderster" wurde... … 2. New WIZO album "ANDERSTER" to be released soon! Ja, you've read it right, it's finally here: The first WIZO album of the new millenium will be available in this very year! 14 Songs, including all five "STICK-EP" tracks, brandnew and guaranteed to be some sort of surprise even for you! "ANDERSTER" is the name of this record, which translates "differenter", because it was planed to be different but came out even "differenter"...

2004-11-02: 1. DAS NEUE ALBUM: Das neue WIZO-Album "anderster" wurde gestern, Montag, den 01. November 2004 auf HULK RÄCKORZ/SPV veröffentlicht. Die Vinyl-Version kommt ab Mitte November. Auf der „anderster“ sind 14 Songs, mit den unterschiedlichsten Entstehungs- und Aufnahmegeschichten. Unser Abschiedsgeschenk an Euch sollte eigentlich ganz anders werden, ist dann aber noch anderster geworden. Wir haben beschlossen, dass es von uns für dieses Album keine Promotionmaßnahmen (Interviews, Anzeigen, Besprechungsexemplare etc.) gibt, außer dieser Rundmail an unsere Newsletterempfänger und die Ankündigung auf unseren Webseiten. … 1. THE NEW ALBUM: The new WIZO album "anderster" was released yesterday, Monday, November 1st 2004 on HULK RÄCKORZ/SPV/Germany. The vinyl version will be available by the mid of november. "anderster" contains 14 songs with different historys of origin and recording. Our farewell gift to you was supposed to be different, but yet became even "differenter" (="anderster"). We decidet, not to do any promotional activities (interviews, adds or freebies etc.) except this mail to all subscribers of our newsletter plus the announcement on our websites.

I could probably post this somewhere online as an "original source" so Wikipedia can have an inline citation, but I'm guessing nobody cares that much. I do think, though, that it should be considered "authoritative enough" that I can add it to the article. -Ich (talk) 07:48, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
