H is for Hose
Ho·se [ˈhoːzə] die <–, –n> both sing and pl describe the individual piece of clothing
- trousers, pants
- trousers, pants
In use:
tote Hose (slang) dead boring
die Hosen voll haben (fam) be dead scared
die Hosen anhaben (fam) wear the trousers, wear the pants
in die Hose gehen (fam) be a flop
sich dat in die Hose machen (fam) wet yourself
And: H is for Hof [hoːf], thats the yard, were is the clothesline
(had showed already in another post)
It occurs to me that many words are similar in German and English, for example:
Hilfe - help
Haus - house
Hand - hand
halb - half
Honig - honey
heilig - holy
Herz - heart... and others.
I try always to chose an different word.

Na mensch, Schlaghosen sollen ja wieder ganz trendig werden, da bist du ja schon bestens gerüstet =)
AntwortenLöschenAuf diesen kleinen gemütlichen Innenhof bin ich ja sehr neidisch. Aber ich freu mich ja schon darüber, jetzt wenigstens einen eigenen Balkon zu besitzen. Der macht auch weniger Arbeit ^^

This was an interesting language lesson. The similarities make us smile.
AntwortenLöschenI like to hear expressions in other languages, especially if there isn't an English equivalent.
AntwortenLöschenWhat an interesting post and educational as well. I enjoyed seeing the words that are similar in both German and English. Thanks for sharing.
