Verabredet

Verabredet

Germans don't just agree to meet up at two, and then rely on their mobile phones to explain why they're late. They make utterly clear, unambiguous appointments. And then they describe themselves as "verabredet." "You are late. We were verabredet. I am simply not understanding this." It's an adjective that defines a whole culture.
