@jensclasen I wonder if the last one is because one of the first phrases English speakers often learn in German is "Wie komme ich am Bahnhof?"?

@CatherineFlick am = an dem = at the Many Germans also use wrong prepositions, depending on dialects. Common joke: „Wo geht’s denn hier bei Aldi?“ @ppscrv @CatherineFlick WRT alcohol: people often use “antialkoholisch” instead of “alkoholfrei”, but to drink something that removes alcohol is still wishful thinking 😉 |
@CatherineFlick
I don’t think so, it’s not related to foreigners. Origin unclear, some speculations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahnhof_verstehen
BTW it’s “zum Bahnhof”.
