It means "EXIT." Apparently I am not the only one who finds it amusing, because I have actually seen Americans wearing Tshirts that say, "Where the heck is Ausfahrt?"
You will find this sign everywhere - autobahn exits, parking lot exits, building exits. I wonder when it will cease being funny to me? Oh, and the poor folks who were headed to the bus destination I saw scrolled across the top of one of the (wonderful and efficient) public transport vehicles! (No photo here. I wasn't fast enough with the cell phone camera.)
Leerfahrt
How'd ya like to live there?
This concludes Vocabulary Lesson #1. I promise to try to be more mature next week.
Hey Cuz, That's a vocabulary lesson on the level of my firefighter co-workers. I'm enjoying your blog. Great pictures. What is it next? Tackless Thursdays?

Hello friend....I had to "catch up" with Mrs. Dorothy!!! I learned how to post a comment:)
ReplyDeleteSee you can teach an old(and overweight) dog a new trick! So excited. I love "reading" your life. Putting German on the back burner for a moment, an English question...if you use the phrase far and wide in a paper....would it be hypenated or put in quotes...or both? I don't know... need editing advice. Thanks ahead of time for the answer. I know you will know. Have a good day. LOVE FROM ME TO U.
