  Welllll

  WC stands for Water Closet and I think Klo is short for Klosett?

  The brits also call it the ‘loo’ which doesn’t sound too far off from ‘Klo’ I think

  So it’s not actually that hard to infer what it means

  To be fair I did take like 6 years of Deutsch in die Schule, aber ich habe alles vergessen + I’m not entirely sure we ever learned the word “Klo”. Maybe we did.

    In the most German pedantic way: “in der Schule”

      Oh right, Dativ.

      My excuse is that I come from a language background with no articles, so declension on articles is unnatural to me!

      In Estonian, the noun cases for that word would be

      kool

      kooli

      kooli

      kooli

      koolis

      koolist

      koolile

      koolil

      koolilt

      koolini

      koolina

      koolita

      kooliga

      kooliks

      We have 14 of those so we get to skip prepositions and thus only need to decline the noun itself and any adjective in front of it (or behind it if you’re writing a poem and it flows better that way, Estonian is very weird when it comes to actually sentence ordering the words in a)
