I was often asked by guests from America about the difference between a Burg and a Schloss. You can see both types of castle in this photo. The left building complex in the distance is a Burg, the right one in the foreground is a Schloss. Usually, I explain it this way: A Burg is a defensive castle, a Schloss is a bragging castle.

The photo shows Schloss Arnstein in Neu-Eichenberg (Hesse) and Burg Hanstein (Thuringia). Between both sites ran the border between West and East Germany, and Burg Hanstein was used as a watchtower by the East German border guards. This view has become a symbol of the German reunification.

Day 4 of trying to convine @lorcandidlucienwill that the german language can be quite beautiful:

"Liebestrunken"

- the exhilarating feeling one has when in love, never seeming to get enough of the other

One of the few good thing about having to learn about the details of German law is that I get in contact with beautiful German legal terms such as

Beschwerdegegenstand

Urteilsbegründung

Prozesskostenhilfeantrag

Versäumnisurteil

Gütergemeinschaft

Zurückweisungsbeschluss

Gesamthandseigenum

Idk I'm weird like that.

hehe can I get a German word?

Oh hey, yes, you absolutely can! 😄 Would you like to have one for yourself or would you like to join a collective one? I actually hadn't thought about that, it does sound pretty neat to give different words to different people. 😋

Ein Augenblick in Vollkommenheit

In diesem magischen Moment, zwischen Laken und unseren Herzen, verschmelzen Seelen in einem Rausch der Leidenschaft.

Stunden vergehen und die Welt um mich herum verschwimmt zu einem fernen Traum.

Unsere Körper tanzen im Takt der Liebe, und jeder Atemzug fühlt sich an, als würden wir die Essenz des Lebens selbst einatmen.

Wir schmiegen uns eng aneinander. Unsere Herzen schlagen im Einklang und jede Berührung ist wie ein Gedicht, das von den Lippen der Liebe geflüstert wird.

In diesen Augenblicken, in denen wir verflochten liegen, spüre ich diese Vollkommenheit und die Welt um uns scheint still zu stehen, als ob sie sich selbst in diesem unvergesslichen Moment verlieren könnte.

Aus der Wohnung nebenan ertönen zärtliche Klänge auf dem Klavier. Die Melodie, welche sich in meine Welt einschleicht scheint wie der letzte Pinselstrich auf einem nahezu vollendeten Gemälde zu sein.

- v.

There should be a German word for the sense of embarrassed accomplishment you feel when you narrowly prevent some important possession (phone, glasses, jewelry, etc) from falling into the toilet.

Day 5 ½ of trying to convince @lorcandidlucienwill that the german language can be quite beautiful:

"Herzallerliebst"

- a term of endearance used to refer to those you hold closest to your heart

There’s this word in German ‘schadenfreude’ , which means the pleasure or joy someone gets from another person’s grief.

For some reason it remind me of when Jaun Eliya

said “ lehza shikayat ka tha, magar saari mehfil

samajh gayi ki mamla mohabbat ka tha..” because

how am i still fine by being rude to this person I’m

insanely in love with. How am i not considering the

hurt that they are getting, how is my heart not

breaking as i break theirs?
