Poltergeist is a classic horror film from the 1980s, directed by Tobe Hooper and produced by Steven Spielberg. The story revolves around a family whose house is haunted by supernatural forces, particularly a poltergeist that abducts their daughter. The film is known for its thrilling and creepy scenes, as well as its iconic moments.
"Kaputt" also has Latin roots. In the middle ages, decapitation was very common and court trials were still held in Latin. In modern English, euthanizing an animal is also called "destroying" it. The meaning transfered: losing your caput/head -> getting killed -> getting destroyed. So when something breaks or someone is exhausted, Germans say it/she/he is "kaputt".
The simplest German word that Americans use is "Ja" instead of "Yes". We Germans do it the other way around. We say "Yes" instead of "Ja". Of course we also use Italian words. Instead of "tschüss" we also say "ciao". However, most Italian words we Germans are use are associated with Italian food...
I wonder how many German words are based on Italian aka Latin? 30? And I mean percentage😂❤ Could/Would you react to the video of Easy Italian that displays the opinions of Italians about Germany. It's very enlightening😂❤th-cam.com/video/WrvNadmNTEE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=N2DVFpHdZO9NgUsc
