The parent in kindergarten who for no good reason invalidates her child.
Just because she knows a being that uses German without proper role (occupation or social – definitely not child) is wrong. Humans don't freely use that language. Life just doesn't. It's unlivable. (no acknowledgement of a opposite and yet social).

Everyone suffers.
The grown up for always hiding behind identity or else there is only silence.
The child for always #german

I recently researched the etymology of two interesting German words:

- "nonchalant" (informal, relaxed, casual, carefree, easy-going): I found that interesting because it's obviously a negation and I never read the non-negated form "chalant". Turns out that the non-negated form goes back to latin "calēre" (warm, to be hot, to be alarmed, to be fired up)

- "verschollen" (lost, missing, nothing has been known about the whereabouts of sth. or sb. for a long time). I found it weird because I couldn't make any sense of "schollen". This might be related to "verschallen" (stop making noise) and might go back to old high German "skellan" (which is also related to German "Schelle", a small bell). So, "verschollen" can be seen as a euphemistic expression because stop making noise is used to refer to being lost (and maybe dead).

#german language - don't confuse these:

berichten - to report
berichtigen - to correct
besichtigen - to come look at (an exhibition)
bezichtigen - to accuse

verzichten - to abstain
verrichten - to do (work)
vernichten - to annihilate

For a moment I felt compassion with the lost #German car driver in #Utrecht. He almost drove into the biggest bike parking of the world.
