Bitte schoen!
“Bitte schoen!”
Thank you! I have to admit, however, I needed to look this up. It was such an interesting phrase to read about! I do wish I knew more German. We didn’t have the option to study German in school, so I actually know more French than German. I’ve been learning a little German here & a little there, however. It’s a fascinating language.
Did you ever see the movie Amadeus? There is a scene where the older, heavyset official in the Emperor’s court tried to explain to Mozart why an opera in German wouldn’t work. He searches for his word, & then explains that German is too “brutal”. It’s a great scene—particularly in light of Mozart’s brilliant German operas.
