Source: SXCThose of you who speak or are learning German may be familiar with the word satt as in ‘Ich bin satt’, meaning “I’m full as a bull/stuffed/about to pop”.

A word you may not be familiar with is sitt, which is satt’s liquid equivalent, meaning one’s thirst has been quenched. Makes sense to me! Hungrig - satt, durstig - sitt.

Are you reading this, English language?

Ever felt like the deliciousness of something could not be described by the word ‘lecker’?

Well, now there’s an alternative from downunder which will really get the message across: “that was bloody lecker!” (and no, it doesn’t mean covered in blood.)

NB: Please do not take the offence. I only make the Spaß!
