Yesterday I explained to an African (Ghana?) that in German there is a distinction between all humans (humanity, Menschheit) and the thing in crimes against humanity. From humanly, menschlich, we say Menschlichkeit. All things humanly as possible.
He never heard this and he was baffled.
When I explained to him that in Alemmanic we can say it is "humaning" (it="es menschelt"), he just sat there and said... no language he knows is that precise.
Welcome to Germanistan, motherfucker XD
