My favourite German word and the one I miss most in other languages is the ubiquitous "doch". I love that it can stand alone. To the best of my knowledge there is no word in English with the same function that can be used as a standalone answer. When used in a sentence it usually stands in the middle and nicely sandwiches the criticism. "Ich hab's Dir doch gesagt!" You can put it in front if you want to get straight to the point: "Doch, ich hab's Dir gesagt!" It is never at the end like in the English equivalent: "I told you so!" The appended "so" feels much like kicking someone when they're already down. Obvious real world usage example for standalone "Doch!": https://youtube.com/watch?v=WJlZLG9UXSY&pp=ygUMbmVpbiBkb2NoIG9o https://youtube.com/watch?v=WJlZLG9UXSY&pp=ygUMbmVpbiBkb2NoI...
