My German hallmate's family name is "Alt". What does "Alt" mean in the German langauge?
"Alt" means "old", as has already been mentioned; in family names, it is often used to designate the family as "ancient residents" to a village, like in the names "Altbr盲u" (old brewer), "Altschmied" (old blacksmith), or "Altbauer" (old peasant).





The opposite of "alt" is "jung" (young).





I'd recommend you provide your old mate with some AC/DC; I live on the other side of the planet, and I adore them!
Reply:Alt means Old. Some good German rock would be Die Aertzte, Die Toten Hosen and Silbermond. Some good German pop would be Ich %26amp; Ich, Tokio Hotel, Cinema Bizzarre, Die Happy, Wir sind Helden, Kate %26amp; Ben and Die Prinzen. Good German hip-hop would be Fettes Brot, Bushido, D-Bo, Culcha Candela, and Scooter

For German music i suggest you "Die Totenhosen" is kind of punkrock. I like them.


For metal you can listen to Rammstein.
