Two lorry drivers applied for a job. One said, “I’m Joe and this is my partner, John. When I drive at night, he sleeps.”
The foreman said, “All right, I’ll give you an oral test. It’s two o’clock in the morning. You’re on a little bridge and your truck is loaded with nitroglycerin. Suddenly a lorry comes towards you at about 70 miles per hour. What’s the first thing you do?”
Joe said; “I wake up my partner, John, because he’s never seen a wreck like this before.”
Do this short and amusing German quiz to find out just how German you are.
The first question starts like this … “You are at my house and very durstig. I place a glass of liquid in front of you. You observe it closely and notice it does not appear to be fizzing. What do you do?”
But please do not take this quiz too seriously! 😉
So how would you say the number 0? Well, in British English we might use ‘nought’ (sounds like ‘nort’) or ‘oh’. In American English you’ll probably hear ‘zero’ more. However, we Brits do use ‘zero’ in countdowns and in measurements of temperature!
In tennis we use the word ‘love’. In football we use ‘nil’.
