Names and total number of floors in buildings: what is correct? Careful, not all of these are real synonyms: As I understand it, "Dachboden" also implies that the top floor is not used as living space but as an attic for storage. "Mansarde", on the other hand, usually means living space under the roof. "Tiefparterre", like "Hochparterre" means that this floor is kind of "around ground level", sort of halfway between the cellar and ground floor (Tiefparterre) or halfway between ground floor and second floor (Hochparterre). Both occur in houses where you have to climb some steps from the street to reach the front door. |

Welches Wort anstelle von “programmatisch”? @Em1: Man könnte vielleicht eine Art langfristiges Bingo oder Trinkspiel draus machen: Jeder macht eine Liste mit Synonymen und in 15 Jahren trifft man sich und trinkt für jeden Treffer einen. Sinnvollerweise sollten dann aber noch ein paar andere Wörter mit aufgenommen werden, damit sich's auch lohnt :) |

Umgangssprache für «on second thought» +1 "Obwohl" ist mein Favorit. An zweiter Stelle "Wissen Sie was" (ohne Zusatz). Ich benutze oft: "Oder vielleicht..." |
