Reminds me of EXCALIIIIIIIIIBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRR

I bet Plutarch and Pliny would feel the same way about our gratuitous Latin.

In the context it is "Could you get me den Kugelschreiber" (Kanst du mir den Kugelschreiber bringen) not "der Kugelschreiber" .... seriously. Or "Kanst du mir einen Kugelschreiber geben".

Ah oops, grammatical pitfalls of a sentence with two languages. I was thinking in English when I swapped the article. Totally forgot about the Akkusativ there.

Not to mention that Kugelschreiber translates literally to Ball-writer so not very far from Ballpen ... scrub war crimial I-8.

This happens in Japan - Kugelshreiber is probably one of the the only German words that Japanese children learn (From 'This is a pen' in many different languages); and yes, many kids think that it sounds super-awesome-mega-cool.

The pen is more cooler than the sword?

As a middleschooler, I have taken Latin language class, because I have watched a German language class in grade school and wanted none of that. Then I picked Spanish, for the same reason. Something about German language terrified me. Tho I have taken a liking of it after I have played Commandos .

Even pig in German - Schwein is sound cool, lolz.

On a related note: Zerstörer, Unterseeboot, Kreuzer, Schlachtschiff, and Flugzeugträger.

Also, Unterwasserflugzeugträger, because you can really form long-ass words in German.

(Kinda like organic chemistry, huh. 'though after the spelling reform hyphenated constructions are preferred instead to improve readability.)

Don't forget Waffenträger and the ever-truncated Fliegerabwehrkanone

Anything said in Latin seems profound.
