bekommen
The German verb bekommen meaning to get is a false friend easily confused with the English to become. So the phrase Was hast du zum Geburtstag geschenkt bekommen? means What did you get for your birthday?
The English to become or to get in the sense of to change state is translated by werden. Es ist plötzlich dunkel geworden could be translated as It's become dark all of a sudden.
Kanton
The Swiss Confederation, which is composed of 26 cantons, was founded by the three Urkantone of Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden in 1291. The cantons all have their own constitution and legislative powers, and are responsible for a number of areas such as education, taxation and law and order, although other areas remain under the control of central government.
