My favorite source for the origin of English words.
i heard “am Stück” when ordering bread to mean an entire piece as opposed to sliced. This was a new phrasing for me.
Do you see a logic to it ? Because i thought “on the piece” what does that mean – i couldn’t figure it out based on context.
Also is this regional? Does it have any uses outside of ordering food (cheese bread etc)?
Never thought about it, but the “am” is a bit weird indeed. It’s kind of a fixed expression. Think of it as “in one piece”. Not sure about regionality, but I feel like it’s common at least in the east.
You can also use it figuratively.
– Ich habe drei Tage am Stück nicht geschlafen.
ah cool…
