This series examines the German English dictionary and the interesting words it contains. It’s been such a popular subject that the decision was made to expand the topic.
Earlier articles in this series explore the different types of a German English Dictionary. In the modern online world there are translators, and dictionaries that include translation and also lookups of words that show both their German and English versions and variations on them. It’s very interesting to take a look at these.
Some readers have given feedback on the German English Dictionary series. Norman Cole, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, said “I find this very interesting. I have used these dictionaries for a long time but many of the words you’ve described I’ve never looked up. It leads to a lot of fun research. My kids are learning a lot
A German English dictionary can be very enlightening for children. For example they might like to know that one of their favorite things in the world, toys, is kinderspielzeug in German. Kinder is the German word for children. Kindergarten is a child’s school, the same word used in both the English and German.
Other people have feedback on the German English dictionary. Mary Heath said: This is family entertainment that’s miles ahead of television. Our kids stopped playing video games to look up words. What fun. That’s what the editor said when he extended the series.
There’s another type of school that might be found in the German English dictionary. In English it’s the same word school. It means a coordinated group of cetaceans. Cetaceans comes from the Latin for larger sea animal. In English it includes whales, dolphins, and porpoises. The German word for a group of these is schule. It shouldn’t be confused with the place of learning.
Our German English dictionary series produced a comment from Edward Gonzalez in Chicago, Illinois. He said “Wow! These articles are amazing. I thought languages were boring, but this makes it fun.” Nobody can disagree with that.
If we’re in the center in English, the German and English dictionary has an answer. We’re said to be zentral. It sounds a lot like the English word. Central in English is the very same word in German, zentral.
Some people think languages can be boring. But when you use a dictionary, such as a German English dictionary, they can open the door to a great deal of interesting information.
