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 is another example that I often hear when people are talking about buildings, houses and homes:
Object. Not the same as the German ‘Objekt’ when talking about a building. Instead we use the word property.
E.g. The property has 8 rooms and a large garden.
Object as a noun in English refers to a thing (Gegenstand).
E.g. There are several objects on the table.
Have fun learning English!
