Einkaufen: Kleidung
Just like we have seen before, many of those expressions so closely resemble the English, that you are able to guess their meanings. But what about ”Rock”? That does not sound anything like “skirt.” And watch out, it often puzzles students that this article of clothing, mostly worn by women, is masculine in German!
