By the way, in Russian it will be:
Это самая смешная книга, которую я когда-либо читала.

Much longer than in English :thinking:

Das ist das lustigste Buch, was ich je gelesen habe. Also longer than the English version :wink:

What’s interesting about this sentence is that the German version would be ‘Es ist das lustigste Buch…’ rather than ‘Das ist das lustigste Buch…’ but this sounds very strange.

I needed to write a message to a person whose name was known to me, however, the first name was very unusual, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a male or a female one. So I began my letter with ‘Dear Sir/Madam’ with subsequent apologises about this manner of addressing and confessions that I didn’t know.

You probably mean ‘apologies’?

You could have simply written “Dear NAME”,…
