CERCA
Gymnasium
This false friend has developed a meaning very different to the English term gymnasium. Gymnasium is the name given to the traditional grammar school or senior high school in Germany, which provides a broad-based academic education for pupils aged 10 to 19. There are a number of other types of school in Germany, including the Hauptschule, Realschule and Gesamtschule.
The English word gymnasium, on the other hand, is translated by the German Turnhalle, or, in case of a health club, by the word Fitnessstudio.
Ossi /Wessi
Ossi is an informal term used by western Germans to refer to people from the former GDR, whereas Wessi is used by eastern Germans to refer to people from the West. In the aftermath of reunification, both terms had very negative connotations and expressed the resentment felt by both groups towards each other. More recently, they have started to lose their offensiveness, reflecting the fact that Germans increasingly see themselves as a single nation again.
