Frühling

Hello, Karstuhl here!

Spring is here. We have had a beautiful, sunny day today with warm weather. It is just that I think "spring" is such a bland word. I like the German word "Frühling" better. A great part of this is that it contains the ü, a u with dots over it, also called u with an umlaut. I like dotted letters, they are cool. Swedish have ä and ö, but not the German ü, while English miss them. (Swedish have å, as well.) I also think spring deserves a word that is a little longer, like Frühling, with two syllables. Then you can enjoy the word for a little longer, along with the positive feelings of spring. We miss this in Swedish as well, with "vår". On the other hand, Swedish and English have other advantages. No human language have all the advantages of spring, though.
