    What does this mean?

    Wer hören will muss fühlen :confused:

    I just got a postcard from a friend in Vienna, but I don't know what the front of the postcard says. [face_blush]

    uh, I think there's a "nicht" missing. Cuz I only know it as a threat of a beating if you don't listen :confused: i.e. "If you won't listen, you'll feel."

    There aren't any words missing. It's a postcard from the FM4 radio station, you can look at it on their website at:

    (Just look for the first postcard)

    missed the "front" in your first post. yeah, for a radio station that makes sense. "If you want to listen you'll have to feel" as a play on the above usual less positive meaning. Oh well, this way I inadvertedly explained the joke as well :p

    Ah, so it's a play on a German expression?

    That's reminds me on the sentence "Musik hören ohne zuzuhören" ("listen (to music) without listening"). :p

    that's actually easier to do with "hear music without listening" cuz that's exactly the difference ;)
    example: I often hear you talking, but I rarely listen :p
