Woher stammt der schwäbische Begriff “Kugelfuhr”? This is a tempting explanation because at a "carre"-four the meeting takes place in an orderly way, but at a "kugel"-four the coming-together is all jumbled up. Like Ox6d64, however, I would still like some substantiation for this. |

Where does “Gaußsche” and “Fresnel'sche” come from and which is correct? Nicely analyzed, Hubert, and as a math/physics guy I liked your examples. |

Wie ist die richtige Schreibweise – “geliket”? “geliked”? @emi Yes, I know what it means, but it just happens to be a tendency that evolved in America for Yiddish speakers to use "gleich" in this way by analogy with the English rather than the reverse construction with gefällen. Am I misunderstanding the usage of "geliket" in this question? |

Wie ist die richtige Schreibweise – “geliket”? “geliked”? Do people use gleich in German as we say in American Yiddish, "Gleichstu mein kleid?" (Do you like my dress?) I assume I'm understand the use of "geliked" correctly here... |

Noun-to-adjective: when does the vowel shift? The funny thing about looking at the final "e" for guidance is that in Yiddish, we drop the "e" for almost all nouns except those that entered the language most recently. |

Shame vs. Embarrassment How about..."the peinlichkeit of my big nose has always made me shy around women"? |
