Why do Germans always use the word "holiday" in place of "vacation"?
The phrase "To go on holiday" makes no sense. The proper statement is "To go on vacation".
They probably associate it with each other like how we call gelaton Jell-o because it's popular, they go vacation on holidays because it's popular.
FUCK
OFF
YANK
We use it too bellend
FOY
Holiday sounds better and is probably more known due this shitty green day song. There's also that holiday park etc. the word is just used more often than vacation.

"Go on holiday" is OK in British English.
Only Americans are incorrect.

Retarded English
>>59124639
You should learn english.
Proper form is "To go on a vacation"
what you said was just as grammatically correct as saying "I drive car" or "I don't have job"
>>59124909
I wasn't butthurt, might genuinely leave the sinking ship for the US soon
>>59124639
yes you are right tho, but it doesnt apply to us this is why we say holiday.
>>59124936
According to Longman dictionary, both are correct in Retarded English.
1) go on a vacation
2) go on vacation

holiday is usually fixed days where you celebrate wierd days like "fathers day" or "labour day"(1may)
vacation are days where you choose to do when you work
>>59124639
I think the word holiday is from british English. Comes from the fact that most holidays were holy days in the christian religion at least earlier in history.
>>59125084
Correct

If Trump doesn't win, then the US is sure to be done for. We'll be Brazil v.2
>>59124639
Because "vacation" is an American term and believe it or not, the majority of the people on the planet AREN'T from Merkinland!
>>59124639
>it's another ignorant american thread
>>59124639
Because it's American English to even use the word "Vacation" in place of "Holiday/s".
Why the fuck murricans say "holiday" instead of "celebration"? Not all celebrations tied to holy reasons.

To answer your question:
Because the Germans, as many other Europeans, learn British English at school.
>vacation
absolutely disgusting
>>59124639
I've literally never heard anyone who isn't American use the word vacation, unless they are reading an American piece of text
>>59126924
They are though. All our holidays are either religious in nature, or have something to do with america, and americanism is a pseudo-religion.
We dont just randomly get mandated days off for no reason.

it really does fit to be honest.
There's nothing wrong with that sentence. Just because you speak special snowflake English doesn't mean it's wrong in the proper dialect.
>>59124639
It's because Europeans study British English in school.
The sentence "To go on holiday" is perfectly acceptable in British, Irish, Australian and New Zealand English. I would also imagine it's acceptable in the various African and Asian English too since they often follow British English grammar.
It's YOU fucking yanks who think it's incorrect
>>59126684
Absolutely correct
>>59124639
That's like every Euro senpai.

I was talking about Asian countries where English is an official language

Japanese would like to know English as Universal language, but not British English and American English.
>>59134217
Those are the only two types of English
Surely you've had lessons in counting to two before?
>>59130121
Of course they are weird Finnish immigrants to America were mostly from Ostrobothnia which is the autistic retard central of Finland
>>59124639
>Why do Germans always use the word "holiday" in place of "vacation"?
Because they mostly use British English, as the rest of Europe? Vacation sounds retarded, desu.
Also, fuck you.
