⚜On the wings of the night amidst the stars ⚜

Hey I have so many thoughts that I would like to share but for right now I would like to share this one idea that came to me. So German is my first language and I've learnt English since elementary school. Learning English words had an entirely different way of associating and imprinting meaning since it came later. It was very interesting and had many different phases, I still learn new words sometimes, which I love and I dearly miss English class. But I digress.

There's the word "custard" that I've come across more frequently during the past days and I like it. It doesn't really have a German 1:1 translation, I know what it is and there's translations approaching its meaning. Which is wonderful because that leaves space for the word. Much like back in the day with your first language and with foreign languages you learnt during your teenage years, you just learn the word, you don't have as many associations and strategies to back up your language learning. So you actually have space to create your own feeling for that word, its haptics and what it means to you in this moment. If you're still following me, I would like to suggest something, I assume most people here don't know any German, so I would like to give you a German word sometimes and you can make it your own thing. I would absolutely love to hear what people associate with it and what it means to them. It's of course very easy to look things up in our day and age so it's unfortunately easy to find out what it really means in English or whatever tour Native language is. It's so beautiful to have a Native language by the way but that will be for another very long post. 😉😍🥰 Anyways, if you'd like to join in, I will think of a word and start this discussion this weekend. 🤓😀 Let me know what you think!

I will just try to add this to my original post and hope that it works. 😊🇩🇪🌿🌳

So I have three German words that you might pick from or try all three and see where it leads you or how you feel about them. Hope you have fun! 😉😊 If you would like to have the pronunciation in German, just tell me and I'll add it.
