뜻
To ask for something specific or unusual that deviates from the norm.
문화적 배경
The 'Extrawurst' culture: Germans often use the term 'Extrawurst' to describe someone who wants special treatment. While 'Sonderwunsch' is the polite term you use for yourself, 'Extrawurst' is what others might call it if they think you're being difficult. In Vienna's coffee houses, having a 'Sonderwunsch' is part of the tradition. There are specific names for almost every possible variation of coffee, making the 'special request' the standard. Swiss service is highly precise. A 'Sonderwunsch' is often treated with great care but might be documented very formally. The term 'Spezialfall' (special case) is also frequently used. In the era of 'Mass Customization', German companies like BMW or Adidas have built entire systems to handle 'Sonderwünsche' at scale, turning the idiom into a business model.
Be Polite
Always start with 'Darf ich...' or 'Ich hätte da...' to make your Sonderwunsch sound less like a demand.
The 'Extrawurst' Trap
Don't use 'Extrawurst' for yourself unless you are being funny/ironic. It can sound entitled.
