You may or may not know that Spreadshirt was born in Germany. While I am writing to you from the US and we have full production capabilities in the US. We have offices and production in Germany. Yesterday, Jana was telling us about some of our german counter parts and threw in some german words. So I thought it might be fun to add an occasional post with some German words so we can add some international flavor to our blog. So we will start with an easy one…
English: Thank You
German: Danke
While I was double checking the spelling of danke, I came across this fun fact - danke is the anagram of naked.
Anagram: An anagram is a type of word play, the result of rearranging the letters of a word or phrase to produce other words, using all the original letters exactly once
I wonder if there are any cool anagram t-shirts?










I don’t know about anagram t-shirts… but how about this well-known love/hate ambigram t-shirt?
You could start with these:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_German_expressions_in_English
I wonder if some of those are really used. I think only heard of Kindergarten, Rucksack, Angst, Zeitgeist and Leitmotif being used in a normal english speaking conversation,,,
I’m from the UK now living in Germany (Köln): didn’t have any German when I came over and found learning the language a pig.
Why three articles!? What sense does that make?
Not sure about the anagram tees, but there are great shirts promoting germanisms at http://SpreadGermanisms.com
