Most interesting.
Y'know, I'm not even a native German speaker. But I became sufficiently acculturated during my time in Germany that a. Profanity in German actually *feels* emotionally loaded to me, instead of seeming merely an academic equivalent of *real* profanity, which must be in English and b. Calling a young (say...20-something) woman "Frau" So-and-so would just feel really wierd to me. Of course it doesn't help, I suppose, that I'm on the front edge of geezerhood, and likely to be old-fashioned in so many annoying ways. [Sigh] Life is change. Life is change. |

Well, don't try calling her "Fräulein", her answer will make you feel a lot weirder. |
There must be a reason that the adjective of Herr is "herrlich", while of Dame it is "dämlich". Can anybody explain this. :D

Chauvinism.
|
But why is every women happy being called a "dame", while "dame like" is an insult?
