Mowgli  +  127212 Mon, 15 Aug 05 12:53 PM Hi dear friends of languages, I have a funny problem. If a man has a mustache (Schnurrbart in German), can I also call it more generally beard (Bart)?   Thanks   for your help                             Mowgli   Mowgli Joined on Tue, Jun 28 2005 Junior Member 55

A beard grows beneath his lower lip, covering all or part of his chin and cheeks. nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member 11,713 The name says it all. Spelling

From the illustrations of Google, I'd say "Schnurrbart" definitely is a m(o)ustache. http://images.google.fr/images?q=schnurrbart&hl=fr   pieanne Joined on Thu, Jan 20 2005 South of France ...But I'm Belgian!
