Comment on Claude Code is suddenly everywhere inside Microsoft
boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 week agoWelllll
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)
