Subject: Come with?



Dale Coye considered:

Do your kids want to come with?

...Maybe German influence from mitkommen- Kommen die Kinder mit?

----------------

My maternal grandfather came from a German neighborhood in Dubuque; some

German was spoken in his home. He said, and we picked up, "...come with."



I can't remember how common this usage was in my Quint City neighborhoods,

but it was common enough that our use didn't sound strange to other folks.



I know there was some German settlement in the Iowa/Illinois Mississippi

Valley, but I don't know how much.
