I love Pennsylvania Dutch. “I wonder" is “es wunnert mich", Lit. "it wonders me”, which is an expression in PA Dutch English I use fairly regularly. Why do I love it? Because you don't just "wonder". Wonder is always that relationship, you have encountered something, and it causes you wonder. Es wunnert mich. It wonders me. The other Germanic languages have this too, no doubt, or some of them anyway. But I grew up with PA Dutch, so there you go.
