What does “stackenblochen” mean? Not sure why this got downvoted? Sounds about right. |

Are German words starting with the letter 'p' really of alien origin? @Alain ah, of course! (I didn't think of that - I somehow pictured you in the actual Bundeswehr as a frenchman and was baffled:) I grew up near Tübingen, I vividly remember being scared of the tanks standing in the Hechinger Eck base when I started going to school in '86. Such a long time ago, my goodness! Villingen-Schwenningen is a really nice area, yeah. |

Are German words starting with the letter 'p' really of alien origin? @Alain totally off-topic, your "about me" text is fascinating to read. May I ask how, as (I presume) a french citizen, you ended up doing your military service in Germany of all places? (although this is probably more suitable on some other channel like mail...) |

In welchen älteren literarischen Werken kommen derbe Ausdrücke vor, die heute auch noch verwendet werden? Ich finde die Frage interessant, bin aber dafür, den letzten Satz zu streichen - er ist unnötig. Vulgär zu werden ist unseren Antworten vorbehalten! |

Do the noun 'Reich' and the adjective 'reich' have a common origin? For completeness, the scandinavian languages use it as Kingdom too: Rike for kingdom in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian; rikas for wealthy in Finnish (probably from Swedish). |

Do the noun 'Reich' and the adjective 'reich' have a common origin? But @Takkat interestingly, Leo offers "mächtig" as a translation of the english "rich" so you may be on to something. I don't know. |

Do the noun 'Reich' and the adjective 'reich' have a common origin? @Takkat still, I don't see the connection. There are contexts where "mächtig" is very close to "reich" - like in your example, or when saying "dieses Programm hat eine mächtige Suchfunktion", which usually means it is very feature-rich - but you can't substitute one word for the other 1:1. |

Do the noun 'Reich' and the adjective 'reich' have a common origin? @Takkat that doesn't sound right to me - you can't use "mächtig" here, can you? "reich" in that context means "full of", not "powerful" |

Does “Jawohl” carry Nazi connotations? I didn't do military service though - would somebody who did mind confirming that "Jawohl" is still in use in the Bundeswehr? What about Austria and Switzerland? |
