        I’m a native speaker and I’ve never heard Paradeiser until three weeks ago

          Native speaker of German or native speaker of Austrian? Because yeah, that’s perhaps the most Austrian word in existence…

            I was raised in near Vienna and I heard the word often. However I’ve moved to Tyrol recently and it isn’t really used here.
