意思
To express a preference for reading as an activity.
文化背景
Germans have a high respect for 'Feierabend' (the end of the work day). Reading is a common way to 'abschalten' (switch off) during this time. The coffee house culture in Vienna is famous for people sitting for hours with a single cup of coffee and {die|f} Zeitung (the newspaper). Swiss German speakers will use 'gern' but might pronounce it differently in dialect (e.g., 'gärn'). In formal writing, they follow standard German rules. German-language bookstores are often cultural hubs for expats, maintaining the tradition of 'Ich lese gern' abroad.
