I’ve mentioned before that many German speakers know that Handy does not mean mobile phone in English but are there any other Denglish words and phrases that you are using by mistake?
Here are a few more examples of that I often hear:
Naked snail (Nacktschnecke). This is one of my favourite Denglish words / mistranslations. No, it is not an animal. A snail cannot be naked. What you mean to say is slug.
Snow broom / snow brush (Schneebesen.) No, nothing to do with cooking and kitchens. If you are talking about food preparation use the words whisk or wire whisk.
Have fun learning English!
