My German Word of the Day: just. In English, just.
Even though I can't find it in LEO anywhere, my German colleagues assure me this is a German word with the same meaning as the same word in English.
I'm reading a German novel right now (Die Detektivin by Nikola Hahn) and saw this word. At first I thought I found a typo, but when I asked Stefan, he said no. It's just an older German word. Which makes sense, since the book is set in Frankfurt in the 1880's. It's very good too. More on the book later.
