K2 Proflex 5500 for sale

No prob man!
German is a language which really noone needs to know.
There are only 100 million people talking German as natives.
How much do talk English?
Or Spanish?
Russian?

But the translation really was very funny.

Matti,

You could also point out that 90% or more of German-speaking natives also speak English (most of them better than most of the illegal immigrants we have here in the USA)!

We have a friend from Hamburg moving in to our house in a couple of months, so I'm hoping she can teach my wife and kids a little... Especially the important words, like gassi... My family used that word every day when I was growing up (our dogs were VERY good at pooping whenever we said it), but when I lived in Germany, nobody seemed to have ever heard it. Is it Bavarian? I must have asked 20 people in northern Germany, and not one had ever heard the word!

Kassel... now that brings back memories! Lived there for a very short time, but I have fond memories of flying through the mountains in my little Opel Korsa! Good times. (I was actually just reading last week about my 4th-great-grandfather, who was born in Kassel! It's a small world).

Wish I could afford a carbon frame right now. However, moving to a house is consuming more resources than I actually have. DOH!

Hmm!

I allways thought it is just a normal word in German.
"Gassi gehen" means going for a walk with your pet.

But I just looked it up in a german dictionary.

It is not in it!

I'm shocked. I allways used a word which is not in the books. And everybody understood it. How can that be?
Maybe it is really a southern German expression.

I will do an inquiry here in my town and see what people think about it.

Maybe it's colloquial speech, but it's real german!
