DE-4303662 The richness of languages - German “Geniesse dein leben in vollen zügen”

I love languages because every language has its own charm and beauty.  If languages are easily translated from one to another in a direct literate sense, how boring it would be!  Fortunately every language has phrases with twist of meaning as well as quirky expressions.

The German phrase “Geniesse dein leben in vollen zügen” is used to tell someone to “enjoy life to the fullest”.  Translated in a strict literate sense to English, the phrase becomes “Enjoy your life in full trains:!
