The Small Newspaper (Die Kleine Zeitung) and its language crash-kurs raised a BIG philosophical and practical question:
Is knowing how to play the game = keeping to the game rules?
Morning coffee, morning Kleine Zeitung, where Du musst dich auch an die Spielregeln halten= You must learn to play the game. I would rather translate it as: You have to keep to the rules of the game. But may be in German speaking realm these two mean the same?...
"Still, it is only half the battle merely to play well; the important thing is to be master of yourself."
