@jensclasen
mausen ("to mouse") = to steal, to pilfer, to catch mice
mopsen ("to pug") = to steal, to swipe
rentieren ("to reindeer" 😜 ) = to be profitable
fliegen ("to fly") = to fly 🤷

The German word "nee" means "no" (slang for "nein").

The word "ne?" is used like a question tag.

Both combined - "Nee, ne?" - can mean

- I can't believe this is really happening.
- No he didn't, did he?
- That isn't true, is it?
- Are you kidding me?!
- No way!
- That's gotta be a f*cking lie!

Enjoy our language, ne?

The German word "hören" means "to hear". But it has funny relatives:

anhören = to listen
zuhören = to listen (a bit more active than anhören)
umhören = to ask around
abhören = to wiretap, to auscultate
überhören = to not hear
erhören = to hear and react to (eg. a plea or a prayer)
gehören = to belong to
angehören = to be a member of
satthören = to get enough of hearing

Should I rather aufhören*? OK.

Enjoy our language!
