German Language and Culture

Pope Gregory VII clashed with and excommunicated the German emperor, Henry IV, during the Investiture Controversy in the 11th century. This conflict arose over the appointment of bishops and who had the authority to invest them with their symbols of office.

Germans started World War I in 1914 and World War II in 1939. Additionally, Germans initiated the Holocaust during World War II which led to the systematic genocide of six million Jews.

The two major forms of the German language are High German (Hochdeutsch), which is the standard form of the language, and Low German (Plattdeutsch), which is spoken in Northern Germany and the Netherlands.

Tacitus describes the German landscape as densely forested with vast stretches of marshland and rivers. He also notes the presence of hills and mountains in certain regions, painting a picture of a rugged and untamed landscape inhabited by fierce tribes.

Do youl Ike German? i don't. we are learning German and i like it but i am rubbish at it though. Anyway, at the foster care, we couldn't find "jumper" exactly, but for sweater( basically just the same) it is "ein pullover". Me and Tina was so surprised when we found out but it is true. So anybody who is doing German right now at school, good luck cause i definitely need it

From Annabel Meurier

Cards and letters are usually signed depending on the relationship with the addressee. For someone you know well and like, "Liebe Grüße" and "Viele Grüße" could be suited. A more formal form would be "Mit freundlichen Grüßen".

An example of what a letter or card to a friend could look like:

Liebe/r XYZ,

...

...

Viele liebe Grüße,

Dein/e ABC

the correct question would be:
Tanzt in diesem Haus Friedrich? - Does Friedrich dance in this house
or if u mean it as a normal sentence:
In diesem Haus tanzt Friedrich - Friedrich is dancing in this house

There is no word meaning kindle in German.

UNLESS, you're from southwestern Germany and call a child Kindle. Kind means child, and the local dialect/accent/slang (whatever you'd technically call it) adds "le" at the end of words to make them cute. Like "chen" in German or "ito" in Spanish.

"Kekse" in German translates to "cookies" in English. It refers to sweet baked treats that are typically round and crunchy.

Ich habe Deutsch vor vielen Jahren (mal) gelernt.

The word for snob in German is simply Snob, although this is considered Denglisch by some people (a English word which has made its way into the German language). If you wish to use standard German, Wichtigtuer or Großtuer maybe used with 'in' added if the subject is a female.

German Unity Day is important because it marks the anniversary of the reunification of East and West Germany on October 3, 1990. It represents the end of decades of division and symbolizes the unity and strength of the German people. This holiday is a celebration of both the historical significance and the successful reunification process that transformed Germany into a unified country once again.

The current German chancellor, Angela Merkel, was elected for the first time on 18th of September 2005, and her time in office began on 22nd November 2005. (She was reelected in September 2009, which means she will probably at least be in power till September 2013, but she might very well be reelected a few more times)

The same way everyone else flirts too. Joking a bit, teasing a bit, playing a bit, it's really the same ;)

^^

That is completely not true!! I'm an exchange student from America that's living in Germany and I've found out that they mainly flirt with the eyes, like if they constantly look at you and if you're lucky, they'll put in a small smile. That's about it. It took me a while to figure this out being that I live in America where the guys are so forward and blunt, but that's not the case here.

The German word "Stadt" means city.

No French region speaks German, but the eastern region of Alsace, borduring Germany, used to speak Elsassich, a German dialect very close to German. These days that regional language is mostly spoken by the elderly, but a very sizeable part of Alsatians have a very good grasp of German as a second language.

"24 Stunden" in German means "24 hours" in English.

L'Asie est le plus grand continent en termes de superficie, couvrant environ 30% de la surface terrestre.

Germanic languages were spoken by ancient Germanic tribes and later evolved into modern German, English, Dutch, and other languages. Some famous Germanic-speaking figures include the Anglo-Saxon warriors who invaded England, Charlemagne of the Franks, and the Gothic tribes in Eastern Europe.

Gebrochen means to be broken or fractured and is more proper.

Kaputt is more idiomatic, and sometimes vulgar, in its meaning of being broken or out of order.

If you wanted to say: It is broken - Es ist gebrochen.

It's busted - Kaputt sein.

Genuine German lederhosen are traditionally made from leather, typically deer, goat, or pigskin. The leather is treated and handcrafted to create the iconic high-quality, durable shorts that are a staple of Bavarian culture and fashion.
