I feel like when I visit you guys again and I attempt to say things in German, you'll give me this face a lot: 2:50 xD
Awesome video.

So basically, kostenlos = "for free", while "umsonst" = "for nothing", since "for nothing" can also have that negative connotation: "It was all for nothing".

-los is a cognate of English -less. Just putting that out there.
