[capp325]

Perhaps he can enlighten the rest of us why?

I wouldn't count on it.

Texdores, it's just a kompositum to teach little kids...one can make up whatever he or she wants....I never remember what the original is supposed to be.

Wo kommst du denn her? Bist du Deutsche oder hast du deutsch gelernt?

I believe this compound word actually exists and was at one time part of the Austrian bureaucratic jargon.

Komme aus Duisburg und ja, ich habe auch Deutsch gelernt.

On the topic of pronunciation...

How the crap do you say "Česká zbrojovka"?

 

[SubZero]

At my old job, we had "Koch" vacuum packers.
Heavy industrial units, perfect for my home smoked salmon.
We referred to them as the "####"- Suckers. Oh well, guess we had it wrong.

 

[texdores]

Sure the H&Ks are a bit overpriced, but so are the Porsches, Mercedes, BMW, Ferraris, Maseratis etc. If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it.
Thats all folks!
