Ok, remembering a few things that confused me... if hören is "to hear" then what is "aufhören"?

Trying to remember some things back when I took (and spoke some) German! [Long LONG ago, *g*] I always liked kaufen and verkaufen (isn't that 'to buy' becomes 'to sell'?) Talk about a change! But seems like ver- did some rather obscure things to some verbs, not as predictable as some of the prefixes.

I mean the compound verbs. When I first went to Germany, it was the first thing people would tell me about it before I went. It's completely true, but sounds funny. I think it's actually good though. It really does make things easier to understand as opposed to what English does. I wrote it before I got to the second part. You're right about the rant too, it's why spell checkers are so important in English, lol

Nice video. I've always found languages to be fascinating. Another irregularity in the English language? "Ghoti" which is pronounced like "fish". haha
