FAQ

Home, Clothes & Daily Life in German: common questions

What is the difference between Wohnung and Haus?

Die Wohnung is an apartment or flat, and das Haus is a house or the whole building. Renting an apartment is very common, especially in cities, so people often talk about meine Wohnung.

How do I ask to try something on in German?

Say Kann ich das anprobieren? The fitting room is die Umkleidekabine, or simply die Kabine.

How do German clothing sizes work?

Germany uses European sizes, so a women's 38 is roughly a US 6 or a UK 10. To ask for the next size up, say Haben Sie das eine Nummer größer?
