Dear all,</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Â </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">in my muensteländisch native dialect they use for the DE- word "aber" a word quite similar to English "but". </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">1. Example: Von alten Zeiten versteht er aber nichts. LS. "Van olle Tieden versteit he d'pat" nix! </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">2. Der ist aber nicht wohlhabend. "De hefft d'pat nix up de Noaht"</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">3. Das sage ich Dir aber! Dat degg't di d'pat.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">In anderen Teilen Norddeutschlands mir ein solcher Begriff nie begegnet. Wer weiss mehr?</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">In other parts of Northern Germany I never faced a similar expression.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Who knows more?</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Â </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Greetings</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Â </div>
