Impressive influence. (Quite similar to the one exerted esp. by
Austrian German on Hungarian. Hungarian consists of zillions of
loan translations from German. Even for such things as "aussehen,
Aufgabe [homework; task], Hausmeister, Aufschneider, Druckerei"...
As well as "Mutter & Vater" for colloquial usage.)
