       The German word "ach" means "alas!". But combined with other words it has lots of meanings:Ach ja? - Really?Ach nein? - You don't?Ach nein! - Do tell!Ach so! - I see!Ach was! - Nonsense!Ach wo! - Of course not!Ach herrje! - Oh, dear!I forgot one?Ach, du Scheiße!*(*Holy sh*t!)Enjoy our language!#TheGermanWord

       @jensclasen Love these posts, especially since they often show links with Scottish, where we can add och or ach to the start of a sentence to add feeling.

       @KikiElara @jensclasen There are quite a few similar words eg my Scottish husband will refer to the weather on a dull rainy day as "dreich" (spelling??) which sounds uncannily like the German word for dirty, "dreckig"."Dirty weather" is such an appropriate description sometimes.
