I need to know what the following words mean

Betrag
E-Preis
Fruhstuck
Uebernachtung
Gastewasche

Sorry, I can't make the umlaut. I hope it doesn't make that much of a difference.

fruhstuck means breakfast, right?

i was born in germany and i lived there for 11 years but the range of my german extends to "can i have two of those, please" and "bratwurst and chips with mayonnaise, thanks!" oh. and breakfast. sad.

I'm trying to figure out the charges that appear on a receipt for one of my bosses. He just went to Munich.

By the way, thanks!

Dudes, Google has a translator and it actually works pretty well.

They're literally taking over the world.

Betrag - Amount (Prize)

E-Preis - I don't know what you mean, tell me the context. If you meant Ü-Preis it would be the Übernachtungs-Preis which is the prize per night for a hotel room.

Frühstück - as na§tee (didn't you live somewhere near Rinteln?) said Breakfast

Übernachtung - Accommodation

Gästewäsche - :confused: perhaps it's the bedclothes and towels but I didn't know that this word existed...

If you need something else try this link: Leo-Translator (http://dict.leo.org/)

P.S.: Sorry I was too late - anyway.

Gästewäsche could also mean that you boss had given some of his clothes to the hotel laundry. But I'm still not sure...

Oh well, then greetings from Minden which is close to Rinteln where I'm staying for the Easter holidays. :)

And you might be right there with the E-Preis. Could be a special Internet-offer or the pay-method e.g. electronic cash or Credit Card.

How about "extrem toller"? Care to explain that one to me, German speakers?

I think toller is like madness or madly. So it would be something like extremely mad or extreme madness.

I don't have any German speakers unfortunately, mine are Japanese made Panasonic. But I bought them in Germany!
