Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Ya know, there is only one letter difference between girls sing in Berlin and girl drink in Berlin. My first thought was the latter. девушки пьют в берлине Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 By the way, the word девочки is totally inappropriate, it is for pre puberty girls. After that time she becomes a девушка, девушки would be correct in this context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 As someone who remembers Checkpoint Charlie as the epicenter of the Cold War, I give a hoot not whether they call themselves Kinder, Maedchen, Fraulein, Frauen, oder Grossmuetter, I’m grateful they can sing and play accordion instead of dodging kuegel as they plot a run to the West.

Finagler 6853 Life Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I crossed Checkpoint Charlie in January of 75. Me and 40 other naive college students touring Germany. East Berlin was one of the most surreal and frightening places, at the same time, that I have been to. I can remember it very clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
