It’s worth a nickel
German word(s) of the day(s): die Meinung und setzen Sie sich
Less than a week in, and I’m already behind. Here are are the words of the day for yesterday and today:
die Meinung meaning “the opinion” or “mind.”
Ich habe meine Meinung geändert. I have changed my mind.
Setzen Sie sich! (formal) Setz dich! (familiar), both meaning the imperative, “sit down.”
Die Lehrerin sagte laut: “Setzen Sie sich!” The teacher said loudly: “Sit down!”
