Recalling my joy at discovering that Germans say the word "yacht" EXACTLY as you would expect a German to say the word.
The respective Germans did not understand my tears of laughing joy, nor my abso...
@nprofile1q... it *is* kinda interesting that German just imported the original Dutch word and pronouncation instead of 'germanizing' it to 'Jagt' (hunt) or 'Jäger' (hunter) like we did with other Dutch ship types (like Kruiser => Kreuzer)
