Some pointers for Freddie
Dear Mr Kissoon,
Although I am a teacher I try to avoid acting like a wise act or smartass. I esteem your articles very much because as they were the most important source for me to help me -as a foreigner – to understand a little bit about Guyana and its people.
So allow me to tell me that your headline is not quite correct: 1. “Excuse me “ = a) “ Entschuldigen Sie (bitte)” b) better, as you made an exclamation-mark: “Entschuldigung!”
2.”wassen” is a word which does not exist in the German language, only as slang, as an abbreviation of “was ist ?” = “was`n (los)? = “what`s up”? Correct: “wissen”.
3. Word order: Contrary to the English language, Germans do NOT need an auxiliary for questions of/in? every tense (exception: the 2 Simples and “be”).
The German language changes subject and verb in its 2 Simples, as the English does with “be”.
4. The German language is quite strict with its commas.
5. “Entschuldigung!Wissen Sie, wer F.B. war?”
