Still yet another sound-alike

--To read this post in Japanese, click here.

Japanese: あ、そう。[a sou]

Gernman: Ach so!

English: Oh / Is it!

The response [a sou]  is used in almost same situations

in Japanese and in German.

That is, you can use [a sou] in various situations.

For example, you can imply

"I am not interested in your story" or

"Wow.  I had no idea about that!"

depending on the intonation.
