**<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">How about cognates, idioms, and other peculiarities? **
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">The word for clothing in German is //die Kleidung//. It is used as singular word just like in English. However, another word, a more colloquial word, is //die Klamotten//. This word is a plural word and is never used in the singular. Look at the different use of both words:
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Meine Kleidung ist modisch und praktisch.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Meine Klamotten sind modisch und praktisch.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">The word for pants in German is //die Hose.// It is a singular word and is, therefore, conjugated with singular verbs. Look at the difference between English and German:
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">My pants are fashionable.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Meine Hose ist modern.
