why luft means air, I guess the lift stuff like air, it is lifted above ground, right?
I don’t understand the question. Please clarify.
Sir, is this “luft” same with the English offspring “lift”(means some thing lifted from ground, like air, let us have a imagination)?
Yes, they belong to the same family – Germanic word that was about “air, going up into the air”.
thanks for your confirm
