A snappy number?

A snappy number?

Schnapszahl

I can’t find a snappy translation for the word ‘Schnapszahl’. So if someone asks you what it is, you’ll just have to say that it’s a number in which all digits are identical and give them an example (like 11.11. at 11.11!).

Learn more about the German word on the Deutsche Welle website here.

How old are you?

How old are you?

23

How would you answer this question? Well, there are a few ways. Let’s look:

I’m 23.
I’m 23 years old.
I’m 23 years of age. (This is rather formal.)

We don’t say: I’m 23 years.

How to write the date

How to write the date

The date - mconnors

Of course, there are different ways to write the date. However, I recommend the following ways:

10 January 2015 (UK)
January 10, 2015 (US) 
– with a comma after the figure!

I suggest that you don’t write the date like this: 10.01.2015. For me it means 10 January 2015 but for an American it would mean 1 October. And I find that very confusing! 😉
