i realized tonight that i use a bunch of low german phrases that i don't know how to translate into english. i know what many of them mean -- simple phrases like "sleep good," "tastes good," "good morning," "good night," and the names of different foods. but there are a bunch that i don't know the corresponding english words for. it doesn't help that low german isn't a written language, so i can't exactly look it up.

continuing a bit from my last post about change... my generation is the first in my family that didn't grow up speaking low german. my grandparents and parents didn't speak any english until they started school. how different the times are now...
