Kultureller Aberglaube und Glaube

Sprachliche Kuriositäten

Die seltsame Welt der negativen Übereinstimmung (Doppelte Verneinungen, die Sinn ergeben)

The concept of negative concord often confuses those unfamiliar with its linguistic legitimacy. You have likely heard sentences like, “I can’t get no satisfaction,” and perhaps dismissed them as errors. Yet, what if these constructions are not mistakes, but rather a different, systematic form of grammar? Understanding this linguistic quirk requires setting aside classroom math… <a class="read-more" href="https://yoamore.com/de/the-strange-world-of-negative-concord-double-negatives-that-make-sense/">Continuar lendo</a>

The Real Dracula and His Bloody Reign in Wallachia

Vergessene historische Ereignisse

Der wahre Dracula und seine blutige Herrschaft in der Walachei

The real Dracula is far more complex and terrifying than the cape-wearing count of fiction, who is purely a product of 19th-century gothic horror. The historical figure behind the legend was Vlad III, a 15th-century prince, or Voivode, of Wallachia. His life was not defined by supernatural cravings, but by a brutal, relentless quest for… <a class="read-more" href="https://yoamore.com/de/the-real-dracula-and-his-bloody-reign-in-wallachia/">Continuar lendo</a>
