Context and question: The etymological equivalent is in use in other languages, e.g., yahudi (sg.), al-yahud (pl.), and banu isra'il in Arabic, "Jude" in German, "judeu" in Portuguese, "juif" in French, "jde" in Danish and Norwegian, "judio" in Spanish, "jood" in Dutch, etc., but derivations of the word "Hebrew" are also in use to describe a Jew, e.g., in Italian (Ebreo), in Persian ("Ebri/Ebrani" (Persian: /)) and Russian (, Yevrey). The German word "Jude" is pronounced [jud], the corresponding adjective "judisch" [jyd] (Jewish) is the origin of the word "Yiddish". (See Jewish ethnonyms for a full overview.)
How do you say Hebrew in German?

Context and question: While Mont Blanc was first climbed in 1786, most of the Alpine four-thousanders were climbed during the first half of the 19th century; the ascent of the Matterhorn in 1865 marked the end of the golden age of alpinism. Karl Blodig (18591956) was among the first to successfully climb all the major 4,000 m peaks. He completed his series of ascents in 1911.
Who was among the first to successfully climb all the major 4,000m peaks?
Answer: Karl Blodig
Context and question: The initial cost of an incandescent bulb is small compared to the cost of the energy it uses over its lifetime. Incandescent bulbs have a shorter life than most other lighting, an important factor if replacement is inconvenient or expensive. Some types of lamp, including incandescent and fluorescent, emit less light as they age; this may be an inconvenience, or may reduce effective lifetime due to lamp replacement before total failure. A comparison of incandescent lamp operating cost with other light sources must include illumination requirements, cost of the lamp and labor cost to replace lamps (taking into account effective lamp lifetime), cost of electricity used, effect of lamp operation on heating and air conditioning systems. When used for lighting in houses and commercial buildings, the energy lost to heat can significantly increase the energy required by a building's air conditioning system. During the heating season heat produced by the bulbs is not wasted, although in most cases it is more cost effective to obtain heat from the heating system. Regardless, over the course of a year a more efficient lighting system saves energy in nearly all climates.
Do incandescent lights emit more, less, or the same amount of light as they age?
Answer:
less
