"Die Flasche ist aus Glas."

Translation: The bottle is made of glass.

[Yossi.k]

I don't think "aus" was taught at this point...

[Camanarac]

We just learned it the hard way

[saritamc]

I was just thinking the same thing... lol glad i'm not the only one

It was though, at least for me it is after the exercise where this kind of "aus" was taught

[Gurpreet]

i think "the bottle is of glass ' is also right

[Kongsea]

me too.

[MuhtasimZarif]

Why flask is incorrect instead of bottle??

[Zonaira]

Bottle is correct!

[SethSabers]

a flask is a certain type of bottle

[Pece]

Can Flasche also mean 'flask'? Or would there be a different word for that?

[stephebp]

I think "Flasche" is a cognate for "flask." They sound like they come from the same roots. The reason it's translated as "bottle" is most likely because we use "bottle" most frequently and in the same way that they use "Flasche."

[lothandar]

I confirm, the word has the same root in many languages.

Flask - English
Flasche - German
Flaska - Hungarian

These are 3 languages I know, could be more. :p

[marziotta]

We have fiasco and fiaschetta in Italian. :D

But the main word for bottle is bottiglia. :)

[Ptiloo]

We have 'flacon' in french

[Danchietalima]

We have "Frasco" in Portuguese, but the most common word is "Garrafa".

[andreeansd]

We have „flacon” in Romanian too, but the common word is „sticlă”.

[splittongue]

wrong andreea, the right romanian word is "damigeană" :P

[colondee]

what I would call a flask is called eine Thermoskanne in german

[wildoyle]

In English that is just called a Thermos.

[SethSabers]

yes it can be for flask pece

[KatieHallo]

So would a baby bottle be a different word?
