AureliaeLacrimae Posted December 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 I also noticed this! The same similarity exists in between German and Dutch - it seems like a blend of German and English. I'd always found it curious. I believe that midnight in Dutch is ''middernacht'', which looks like a nice combination of Mitternacht and midnight. I bet there are so many examples about this...when I was learning German in school, we'd always used the ''Ich habe Durst/Hunger'' form that for a long time, I wasn't even aware the other one is correct (Ich bin hungrig/durstig). I'd only found it out years later when I'd found the phrase in a text... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
