The german words "die List" and "die Liste" are completely different words of probably different origin, the only thing they have common are the first four letters. The german Liste may origin from the same root as the english list. The german List might derive form the name of a german battle captian named List, but i'm not sure. > >Excuse me, but in Switzerland you use many English words in your daily speech >either in German or French!
