Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Entschuldigung, ich hätte sagen sollen:
„Kein langer oder schwieriger Gruß, aber ich mochte die ‚Mahlzeit‘-Begrüßung immer.“

We've been misusing it for many years in our family. The MiL always says it after someone burps, and as this was the first time I'd come across it (I learnt my colloquial German in France, as you do) I assumed it was used as one would use "Excuse me", or "Pardon me" in a similar way in Britain.

Only recently did I discover that it was actually "Bon appetit"

In terms of greetings, I'm a big fan of "Servus!". Funnily enough, they use that in Alsace as well.

Got something to say?
