THE WIFE: “Yes, I understand it now. It is glass clear.”

Oh God, My Wife Is German. 
As a German with an American father I can see where she is coming from.

I stumbled today onto your blog and I’m having a blast reading it. I’m from Germany myself and we use glasklar for crystal clear, I remember making the same mistake.:-)

Oh nice! I love it when Germans clarify my wife’s Denglish for me. I know there’s always a direct-translation reason, but it’s so cool to actually hear it.
Thank you for reading and commenting. Have a wonderful day!
