German ghosts is a great way to entertain yourself or all of you on a car journey.
Let's suppose that you spot the number plate TR7 FRN
Just concentrate on that FRN bit.
FRN is a ghost ... the ghost of a word ... many words actually.
It's the ghost of führen
and Freund
and auftreten
and Haferflocken
and unfreundlich
and heranfahren
Can you see what 's going on.... with each of those words, if some of the letters died, you could be left with FRN ..... führen
Freund
aufreten
Haferflocken
unfreundlich
heranfahren
So, a ""ghost" is what's left after some of the letters have gone, disappeared, kicked the bucket, given up the ...... ghost.
Right then... that's your car journey in-car-entertainment sorted ... question time ...
What other words have FRN as their ghost?
What about ABA ?
How about NET ?
And ........... ABC ?
Well, I hope you liked that ..... there's plenty of other number-plate games ... no doubt I will be filling you in at some point ... but now here's Nena with " Leuchtturm"
