German help, please? Warum vs. Wieso. - Elektrisk - 02-25-2010
Hello.
As I understand it, both mean 'why'. Could someone please help me differentiate between the two? When do I use wieso, and when do I use warum? This is quite perplexing. Usually I can figure out these quirks with my knowledge of Swedish, but in Swedish, there's only one word for 'why', which is, "Varför?" which I assume is a cognate with "Warum?".
Thanks.

So, are you saying that there isn't a difference?

Jupp.
Wieso hast du die Katze erschlagen
Warum hast du die Katze erschlagen.
But Warum sounds fancier in my opnion though xd

OK, thanks.
I'll wait to see if anyone else has any input to add before requesting that this be closed.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that they are the same exact thing.
