Durchsage: At stations, platform changes and delays usually come over the loudspeaker, often only in German and sometimes in English too. The display boards show the same information, so a glance at them helps.
Gleis: Trains leave from numbered platforms, and the platform can change at short notice. Check the board again before you change trains.
Trinkgeld: In a café the price includes service, but a tip is still customary. People usually round up or give about five to ten percent, and you say the amount yourself when you pay.
Milchkaffee: Milchkaffee is on the menu in many cafés, often alongside latte macchiato and cappuccino. Sizes and prices differ from café to café.
