The Beautiful German Language

In a previous post I mentioned the beauty of the German language. I was going to conduct a world wide survey to find the most beautiful German word in the world. But someone beat me to it. (Visit the article "Word power" on this page.)

My favourite German phrase is 'auf das wiedersehen' which is shortened to 'aufwiedersehen' and is translated as 'good bye.' What it really means is 'upon seeing each other again' or 'to seeing each other again.' Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

Thank you to my friend Paul Scherzinger who forwarded the link to me.
