I use <a href="https://dict.leo.org">LEO</a> quite a bit, both to learn new words and to check word genders in German. Over the years, I've become quite used to German having only a single word where English has several. For example, "die Schande" in German translates to "obloquy", "opprobrium", "infamy", "scandal", "dishonor", "disgrace", and the most common one, "shame". <img src="{att_link}translations_for_schande_in_english.jpg" href="{att_link}translations_for_schande_in_english.jpg" align="none" caption="Translations for schande in English" scale="40%"> The other day, though, I found a good example in the other direction. The word "joist" in English translates to "Balken", "Träger", "Dachträger", "Querbalken", and many more. <img src="{att_link}translations_for_joist_in_german.jpg" href="{att_link}translations_for_joist_in_german.jpg" align="none" caption="Translations for 'joist' in German" scale="40%"> Neat.
