Hi :)
I'm a native German speaker with passable (US-) English skills.
Born and raised in the western part of the beautiful and lucky city of Berlin, I've found relative joy in software development after a few years of aimless meandering and finally moving back to my beloved hometown.

What's the meaning of “Deine Mudda”? I think the spelling tries to mimic the pronunciation of Mutter in Hamburg. |

Classic childrens books that are unknown outside of DE/A/CH ? Of course, Astrid Lindgren is neither Swiss nor German, but Swedish. Still great books (and movies) of course. |

Classic childrens books that are unknown outside of DE/A/CH ? Don't forget "Pünktchen und Anton". Had this as an audio drama on cassette and loved it as a child. I still know the prologue by heart. Kästner considered this his best children's book. |

Classic childrens books that are unknown outside of DE/A/CH ? Just want to add that "Krabat" is not for little children. It's quite different from his other books in that way. |

4711, 08/15 and other numbers with some flair in German? @Thomas, why do you write WEB in all capitals? It's an ordinary word, not an acronym. |

Was bedeutet „auf Draht sein“? Übrigens soll angeblich unser ehemaliger Bundespräsident Heinrich Lübke tatsächlich mal zur Queen gesagt haben: "You are heavy on wire". |

Plural von “Stadt” - “Städt” oder “Städte” What does this answer add that the first one didn't already answer with respect to the question? |

Plural von “Stadt” - “Städt” oder “Städte” @DiN0bot, No, that would be wrong (or at least very poor style). |

Why is “Zeile” but not “Zeiger” differently pronounced in the south? I don't live in southern Germany, but I've also never heard this from southerners. Are you sure it's a southern German thing, and not an idiosyncracy from some of the people you know, or residue of a dialect they've brought with them when they moved to the south? |

Was genau bezeichnet das Wort Statussymbol? Verständliche Frage, aber es geht mir schon um die Bedeutung des Wortes. |

What is the correct preposition for “Name” in following contexts "Reservation" is wrong (except in Switzerland). Only "Reservierung" is correct (although "Reservation" will probably be understood). |

Speaking German with accent: a status symbol or a sign of being a foreigner? As @Jules demonstrates, there are not only positive connotations with being russian (or any nationality, in fact). Right at this moment, Putin et al are also hard at work not to leave the most favorable impression possible. |

Does the word “Fahrenheit” mean anything in German? +1 for mentioning Celsius (who was a Swede, by the way). |
