• Few things tell you as much about the #German attitude to owing money as that the German word for “debt” is the plural of “fault” and “blame”, and it shares the same root as "guilty”.

  Debt = Schulden
  That was my fault = Das war meine Schuld
  He is to blame = Es war seine Schuld
  Guilty = Schuldig
