  5. der Brief Der Brief is a letter in English. The German word which means brief is kurz.

  6. die Brüder Brüdermeans brothers. Gebrüdershould only be used with businesses or firms. Referring to the Grimm brothers as the Gebrüder Grimm is incorrect unless they are in business together. Brüder is the plural of Bruder. The singular form is masculine; derBruder.

  10. famos Famos does not mean famous as most would assume, but rather splendid or terrific. The German word meaning famous is berühmt. Note: the main thing that makes this word confusing is the similarity in spelling between famosand famous.

  11. fast Fast in German means almost or nearly. It does not mean fast. The German word for fast is schnell. In German to fast is fasten. To fasten, however, is befestigenor anbinden in German. Note: This word is confusing because of all of the words which incorporate fast into them, along with their English meanings.

  12. feist Feistmeans plump or fat in German. In American English, a feist is a small dog, and feisty means spunky or frisky. These concepts are not usually associated with fat. Sattin German means full or satiated.
