Ever since I joined GC, I noticed how a few members were using the word "über" - or a bit more Americanized: "uber". Did you know that this is a German word? Translated it would be "above" or "about". Though, the way you use it, it would rather be "above".

Anyway, would you have thought that you're speaking German by saying this word? No? Well, but you do! And you know what? I even have a few more German words and sentences for you!
