@datenhalde @stevegis_ssg @ChristineMalec The variations in a single letter or accent are fascinating
@CiaraNi @datenhalde @ChristineMalec
Seriously.

I love it, thanks

@CiaraNi @mitradranirban @adriano If interrobang‽ isn't typically spelled with the "‽," it really should be.

@courtcan @CiaraNi @mitradranirban "Interrobang" honestly sounds like you're being questioned at gunpoint.

@courtcan @ChristineMalec Lovely accessible description. Danke!
@CiaraNi @ChristineMalec Och bitte, nichts zu danken!

@adriano @CiaraNi @mitradranirban Lol, it really does

@CiaraNi
The culprit bridge is in the centre of Hamburg. It carries the wonderfully quaintly named street “Großer Burstah” over a canal.[cue toots about the wonderfully quaint letter ß]

@id1om It is
@CiaraNi
C’est ça.Can rely on the French here
-
@grb090423 It's a very satisfying word

@CiaraNi
I might add:The word Mühlenbrücke (mill bridge) is also an interesting case of two silent letters in the German language, one making the preceding vowel long (h) and one that makes it short (c). In other terms: Those two ü's aren't even pronounced the same way.
@datenhalde Interesting. I hadn't thought about the silent letters
"Those two ü's aren't even pronounced the same way" - ha, German as bad as English, there
-
@CiaraNi well, you can always create the diminutive with -chen, tweaking it to contain an umlaut:
Umläutchen
@datenhalde 'Umläutchen' - a little umlaut. Oh lovely. Not only does it have an umlaut but it's adorable.
-
@CiaraNi
Omlyd, direkte oversat@notsoloud Umlaut. Omlyd. Selvfølgelig! Det har aldrig slået mig. Der fik jeg et ægte Aha-øjeblik. Tak.

The one positive from the fascist's reign is that he has united the rest of the world in a way rarely seen.
As a fellow threatenee, I feel close to Denmark in a way i never have.
We have "elbows up"(a hockey reference) as our rallying cry. Do you have anything similar?@Frost_Farm We don't have a rallying cry as organically local and good as Elbows up, but Make America Go Away (said in English) is a common catchphrase here.

@CiaraNi Nor in the French ë/ï/ü – the trema (l’accent tréma)
@baoigheallain These diacritics should really be better at practising what they preach

It would be impossible to type on a US keyboard, not to talk about the crime known as 7-bit ASCII.

@jenskutilek @rvedotrc A haček in the word haček - excellent! And it's even better that it's in the Czech, not just in a translation, I think. Czech showing all the other languages how to do it.
