The tone makes the music...Der Ton Macht der Musik

in German there is a saying "the tone makes the music", it means that the tone one uses when one speaks determines the true meaning of the said words. Jasmin can recognize the tone, but she can not yet always get the music right.

These days my husband is watching the "Mondial" football championship, when he watches a football game, he can get enthusiastic and even screams when a good goal is shot. When Jasmin hears these cries she responds by scolding my husband! waving finger (no no no...) and all, not to mention the correct tone (even though her words are still gibberish at most) - because she thinks he is screaming and one must not raise one's voice...
