fun German thoughts aka I just realised something

der See - the lake

ein See - a lake

die See - the sea/ocean

das Meer - the sea/ocean

ein Meer - an ocean

the difference between a lake and the ocean is whether it's feminine or masculine

also, the plural "die Seen" is most commonly used for lakes, even though according to the dictionary it is apparently used for oceans as well but I haven't seen (hah) or heard it used that way

also 2.0, I only just realised that "sea" seems to be mostly (only) used as plural (a haven't read or heard "a sea" at least) so that would kinda mean that in German "die See" is mostly singular and in English plural and I just think that's interesting

hence why I probably picked Translation Studies as a module this semester lmao

also 3.0, I think Meer would mostly be translated to ocean and See to sea, and vice versa

I love love love idioms and stuff like

for example, in English you have "it's pouring buckets" which is pretty much the same as the German "es schüttet wie aus Eimern"

then we have stuff like the one I mentioned yesterday (?), "skeletons in your closet" vs "Leichen im Keller (bodies in the basement)", which have the same meaning and are similar, but not the same

another example: "bull in a china shop" and "Elefant im Porzellanladen (elephant in a porcellain/china shop)"

there are things like something I just thought of when outside, an idiom referring to when someone is complaining about rain and they arr told "du bist doch nicht aus Zucker (you're not made from sugar)" - even though I don't think there is an English equivalent, the reasoning behind it could still be understood: sugar dissolves in water, so someone doesn't need to be "scared" of the rain cause it won't hurt them

and lastly, there are idioms that are very cultural or historically influenced, or where most people probably neither know nor care why those exist. ones I can think of right now is, to tell someone that they are "schwer auf dem Holzweg" - in this case, "auf dem Holzweg sein" means that a person is off the track, or, of it's more as a threat/warning, that they don't know what's coming for them. also, when I look up "Holzweg" I get "logging-path" as a translation.

bonus:

to my non-German speaking friends - can you make sense of these?

"Du kannst mir nicht das Wasser reichen (You can't hand me the water)"

"Mit ihr ist nicht gut Kirschen essen (It is not possible to comfortably eat cherries with her)" - this translation is a stretch because... this is actually quite hard
