 Wagon or Wagen | « » 4:14 PM 11/4/2009 | |

There is something that always irritates me that I keep seeing more and more. Its when someone refers to a wagon (station wagon not Volkswagen) as a wagen. What started this? Does replacing the o with an e make you mad euro tite?  Please elaborate almighty TCL Rule #1

wagen just = car
wagon is a sedan with a steep angle on the rear with a lift back. Why is this a thread?

To Germans: Wagon = Variant or Combi, although they do call fastbacks, Combi as well.
All fellow members of the Roman senate hear me. Shall we continue to build palace after palace for the rich? Or shall we aspire to a more noble purpose and build decent housing for the poor? How does the senate vote?Screw the poor!!!

It's funny that station wagons were called estate wagons in the US.

I've only seen what you speak of in Craigslist ads with terrible spelling. "Wagen" doesn't even mean "Wagon" in German, the words are just born of a common ancestor.

They were called "suburban" before they became "estate".

Unless your name is Franz, and you're on the way to the biergarten in your lederhosen and plan to pick up a currywurst along the way....it's wagon. No exceptions.

Wagen just means car. :shrug: You can use das Auto or der Wagen. So I guess it's fine if you for some reason feel like switching to German for one word, but I don't see why anyone would be motivated to do so.
