The sentence is grammatically correct German, albeit ambiguous in meaning - ''"Berliner"'' is intended to mean''"person from Berlin"'' (compare to "[[New York]]er"), in which case the sentence translates to ''"I am a person from Berlin"'' rather than ''"I am a donut"'' - clearly, the "donut" meaning can be taken literally. It is obvious what Kennedy intended, as the other translation makes no sense and would have no place in a diplomatic speech.

Additionally, the food was not called "Berliner" in that region at that time, but rather "''Pfannkuchen''" (pancake) {{fact}}.
