        I was looking for these comments... I was so confident, not looking up translations because all these verbs sound logical, and then they do this. Betrayal! :p

          Maar "hoppar" klinkt ook wel echt als springen, hoppen ^^

            yup. And I just finished reading 100 pages of a German book, so that doesn't help...

                Running and singing at the same time is pretty difficult considering how much stress it puts on your airways.

                            Ah, don't throw stones at the Swedes. While Germans tend to say “laufen“ (go), we Austrians say “gehen“. Although “laufen“ means “to run“, too. Both, in German and Austrian :)
