 ost_uid0]Hehe.  Join the club. Like, is there a German word for 'sibling'? In Dutch there's only 'brother' and 'sister'.[quote ost_uid0]We had a vampire puppet smiley, but its nose came off.[/quoteost_uid0]It's only now that I've seen that episode that I get the joke.  Bwaha. It's the wee-little-puppet-man.[/colorost_uid0]

ost_uid0]Well, there's a German word for "siblings", but not for those of the single persuasion. It's really rather illogical, but on the other hand, I always feel like you can really lay the smack down with complicated words and phrases in German...perhaps my knowledge of English vocabulary is simply a bit lacking, though.Gata[/color ost_uid0]

ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0]Like, is there a German word for 'sibling'? In Dutch there's only 'brother' and 'sister'.[/quoteost_uid0]And that's quite annoying. I've recently tried to say "It makes no sense" in Dutch. It resulted in 30 seconds of saying "uh" and then saying it in English. On the other side, there's no English word for "gezellig". Yeah, "companionable", but that doesn't quite catch the true meaning. :eyeroll:[/color ost_uid0]

ost_uid0]I've learned just to say the damn thing in English. It's one of the things that annoy my friends. The other is that I randomly quote Star Trek.Though they did laugh when I quoted ambassador Spock: "Yes". He must have said it at some point.[/color ost_uid0]

ost_uid0]Well, I do the same when talking to friends, and since they're just as bad as me, that's no problem. The [i ost_uid0]problem[/iost_uid0] was, that these people were not my friend, I just met them, and I wanted to make a Dutch impression. A stupid thing to do, obviously. :eyeroll:[/colorost_uid0]
