In German, never trust your ears:

Er ist wild = He is wild
Er isst Wild = He eats venison

Gelehrte konnten = scholars were able to
geleerte Konten = cleared accounts

Hasst du die Urzeit? = Do you hate primeval times?
Hast du die Uhrzeit? = Have you got the time?

schlechter Rasen = bad lawn
Schlächter rasen = butchers speed

Die Küste fiel = The shoreline fell
Die küsste viel = She kissed a lot

Er ist wieder willig = He's willing again
Er ist widerwillig = He's reluctant

Enjoy our language!

@jensclasen
Das Kind mit dem Auto umfahren. = To drive around the kid with the car.
Das Kind mit dem Auto umfahren. = To run over the kid with the car.
@bebna @jensclasen
the stress on the first or second syllable does it
um'fahren vs. 'umfahren
@bebna @jensclasen Though in this case, you can trust your ears. It’s only the written sentence that looks the same
