This week’s comics will be photographed, because I’m travelling without my usual comic-making gear. And I’m in Germany again, so I’m trying to learn some more German phrases. So far, so good!

Seems chickens haven’t made it into your course yet — the correct plural of Huhn is “Hühner”, not “Huhner”.
I knew something didn’t look right! I’ll restore the umlaut in tomorrow’s “Wilde Hühner”!
Aaaah, that looks a lot better ?
Ausgezeichnet!
Duolingo obviously knows more German phrases than I do. I’ve never ever heard this phrase before. The only thing that comes to mind is “Katerfrühstück”. In that case, however, “Kater” doesn’t refer to a male cat, but a hangover. 🙂
You caught me! “Katzenfrühstück” is my own invention, based on the wonderful German language practice of putting a bunch of words together to make a new word!
Thanks for the explanation. I was also confused and wondered if this is some regional expression for a rather small breakfast (by some picky eater). 🙂
It could have been breakfast at the cat’s table, too …
Sogar der Titel ist auf Deutsch. Das ist großartig 😀
Gute reise!
Mit “Katerfrühstück” ist im Deutschen aber etwas ganz anderes gemeint… 😀
My favorite “Duo” German sentence of all time is:
Oh, nein! Das Brot ist zu lecker!
I suspect there’s one German word that means IntentToReachTheOtherSideOfTheRoad.
That’s difficult – “other” is not a noun, so we have to une hyphens: “Erreichung-der-anderen-Straßenseite-Absicht”, but that sounds funny (strange). “Intention to cross the road” is simply “Straßenüberquerungsabsicht” which is of average length in a legal, theological, or philosophical text.
Btw, the philosophical question for the reason why the chicken crossed the road is called something like “Hühnerstraßenüberquerungsgrundfrage” (I’m not sure because I’m only an amateur philosopher).
