@godpod Please go to Post. also...and in the end, may the best social platform win.
@jensclasen I was an exchange student in Krefeld Germany in 1979 and did not speak German (I was fluent in three months). Each day I would run to my room and look up words I did not know. I searched ENDLESSLY (and fruitlessly) for the word "doch" that I heard all the time. Not in the dictionary...but you are correct, it means EVERYTHING you stated, and perhaps more.

The German word "doch" can mean
- but
- yet
- even so
- still
- nevertheless
- on the contrary
- after all

It's also a full answer to ANY negative statement:

Ist es nicht! (It's not!) - Doch! (Yes, it is!)
Das mache ich nicht! (I won't do that!) - Doch! (Oh yes, you will!)
Das stimmt nicht! (That's not true!) - Doch! (You bet it is!)

So many meanings - not possible, you say? Oh, doch!

Enjoy our language!

Over the past couple of election cycles, I’ve donated to the New Georgia Project Action Fund, a group with a great track record of mobilizing Black, Latinx, AAPI, and young Georgians to vote. NGPAF has swung into action to support Warnock in his runoff. If you have a few bucks and want to help or just want to know more see https://ngpaf.org/

NGPAF is on a mission to increase the civic participation of the New Georgia Majority—Black, Latinx, AAPI, and young Georgians—and other historically marginalized communities by building grassroots political power in support of progressive leaders, policies, and issues.
