German chitchat

Wie gehts! (How'z you!)

My mornings apart from routine sunrise & ginger tea now-a-days include a rush hour to german classes. No no..don't get me wrong.. ich liebe keine german fraulin, aber ich mag meinen Lehrer für ihre unterrichtende Art. (go figure it out urself). Anyway some of the interesting observations I can recall so far

-jo la la - sounds like an expression of joy...on the contrary it means you are doin pathetic, only that you don't want to admit it.
-dick means thick and not anything else.
-like most of other frage(Questions) 'darf ich herin kommnen' (may i come in) can't be followed by 'Sie'.. and I can't even explain it to you.
-As if maskulin and feminine weren't enough in genders, there is a neutrum...and if u act like a kind (child) u can't be placed in tht category. And the moment u think u r getting it right, u do the blunder with articles to switch the genders.
- Chef is not a cook but ur boss.
- You don't do partiality between ur girlfriend (freundin) and a friend who happens to be a girl (freundin)
- you can boast abt being addressed loyally 'Herr Ober' even if u work as a waiter.

more to follow...if I survive the test tomorrow.
