Berlin, Germany/berlin001
Previous | Home | Next"Today's offering! Berliner (jelly doughnuts), 4 pieces for 1.90 Euros." J. F. Kennedy's famous line in his Berlin speech of June 26, 1963 -- "Ich bin ein Berliner!" ("I am a Berliner") -- has been satirized ("I am a jelly doughnut!") because some say he made a grammatical error and should have said "Ich bin Berliner." However, this legend is common only in English-speaking countries and German-speaking peoples remind us that the use of the definite article "ein" is optional when referring to one's residence.
