Fehler vs. Falle....

They actually sound pretty much the same, (or at least to me the do) but it's important to know the difference. So... Just in case you ever find yourself "accidently" taking a case of milk from a German grocery store: the correct phrase to use is:

"Ich habe einen Fehler gemacht." (I made a mistake).

Just trust me... "
Ich habe eine Falle." (I made a trap) is NOT the recommended response!

Thank God the cashier was patient and understanding. Also, pretty generous.. She gave me a chocholate bar on my way out. : -0
