in the german language there is no equivalent for the word 'fake'. yes, there is a translation, but this is not the word for those fun people that go to the internet to try to be someone virtually that they aren't in real life...

in german we use the english word fake. I often wondered why as there are enough of those guys available over there as well, worth to have a german word. i stop wondering after being here for some time - if it's a invention from this side of the ocean then it's only fair that everybody uses the same word in honor.

there are german words without english equivalent as well, here is one i like to use: kindergarden...
