| Jan 19 at 16:31 | comment | added | lly | @tofro The literal meaning of a "real school" in English would be a nonimaginary school. That obviously isn't what German Realschule means, so the questioner was asking which of the myriad nonliteral senses was intended. (His initial guess was that it meant nonfake or unsophisticated.) Your answer below is solid, though, so it looks like you figured that out. | |
