the dictionary informs me it's "Swabia" and that there is indeed no word for it in english. lol
@lilletale nee für Bausparvertrag.
@distelfliege I’ve seen the word Swabia used in English. It’s a place in Germany, isn’t it?
@gannet Just because I suspect @distelfliege is asleep...Yes, Swabia is a region of southwestern Germany. Swabians are often joked about for being overly parsimonious.
If I'm understanding "bausparvertrag" correctly, it's a particular kind of savings account, that leads specifically toward purchase of a home.
@auntiekiki @gannet good morning! (I think some of you are asleep now, hehe)
yes, it's a savings account where the money is saved to be able to build a house. you could also buy a home but it's designed specifically for building a house.
Swabians are renowned for having as one of their main life goals to build a house.
@distelfliege oh. You mean bausparvertrag. Whatever that means.
@distelfliege Schwaben?
