Maybe nice to know: "Da war ich" is German for "There I was".


Funny enough I’m (east) German and my first association was the Russian word “tovarisch” (meaning comrade or friend).

Wondering what Dr. Freud would say about that…


LOL! I'm originally from Russia, living in Germany and suffering through my German studies -- of course, my first thought was 'tovarisch'. Facepaw.


Hehe, I myself am actually Dutch but this fell within the knowledge obtained in 2 years of obligatory German lessons in High School. Also, German and Dutch are very similar (actually I remember my grand mother having a conversation with a German women, both in their own language, both screaming, understanding each other reasonably well, or at least, they took turns saying something :))
