May 5	comment	How to move a phrasal verb to the end of a sentence because of “dass”? What do you mean by not separable? Her original sentence without the "daß" makes it necessary to put the separable prefix "an" at the end. :-)
May 1	revised	How to say 'learn by ear' in German? improved usage explanation and clarification
May 1	answered	How to say 'learn by ear' in German?
Apr 30	comment	Is there any source to find German books categorised in terms of reading ease? I suggest contacting a library, university, publishing company or book review agency, or maybe a catalogue company like Bertelsmann or even the Goethe Institut, who deal with this sort of thing for a living.
Apr 23	comment	Nouns and verbs which share the same form It might be easier just to edit and add to your answer to keep the list all together than to keep adding comment notes. :-) Great work here though!
Apr 22	comment	Origin (and Derivative) of the Name Marlene? Meinte nicht pingelig zu sein. :-p
Apr 22	comment	Origin (and Derivative) of the Name Marlene? I would only add that the Biblical Magdalena wasn't the ONLY female follower but just the most famous. ;-) Otherwise great research!
Apr 19	comment	Using “-lein” and “-chen” Das schon, aber die Regeln die ich finde kommen anders vor. Ist es wegen irgendeiner Regel oder ist es bloß durch Gebräuche so entwickelt worden? Na ja. :-)
Apr 19	comment	Using “-lein” and “-chen” I wish somebody who thinks mine is a duplicate issue could show me where on the other page this information can be found. :-p
Apr 18	comment	Using “-lein” and “-chen” Takkat's question is about "how" to form the diminutive. I'm going beyond that. Books and web posts I find say both endings are interchangeable, though one tends to be more common. But sometimes one ending can change the meaning a little (consider "Männchen" vs "Männlein") or is more traditional ("Mädlein" vs "Mädchen") or awkward ("Löchchen" vs "Löchlein"). From what I find, it seems either ending is technically always possible (grammatical) but sometimes too awkward (impractical). I'm asking if some words just cannot by some rule use both endings or simply will not for impracticality.
Apr 18	asked	Using “-lein” and “-chen”
Apr 16	comment	“bis der Tod euch scheide” or “bis der Tod euch scheidet”? They're basically asking if you want to be faithful to her until you're separated in death and do you want to still love her even after the sex is gone.
Apr 16	comment	“bis der Tod euch scheide” or “bis der Tod euch scheidet”? „Scheide" (normally English "sheath" like for a knife) is also a slang word for the vagina. You can maybe picture the connection of a knife and a sheath.
Apr 14	comment	Is the title of the “Vincent will Meer” grammatically correct? Die Grammatik sorgt nicht für „Wirklichkeit". :)
Apr 14	comment	Is the title of the “Vincent will Meer” grammatically correct? @userunknown Grammar doesn't always provide for reality, even though the grammar may be functionally correct. And to express a desire doesn't necessarily mean you can actually have it. That didn't seem important to me in just having the question answered. But your point is valid.
Apr 12	asked	“Personen” or “Menschen”
Apr 12	comment	German postpositions "Zufolge" follows Dativ but precedes Genitiv, as in "dem Bericht zufolge" or "zufolge des Berichts".
Apr 7	comment	Is there a german equivalent for 'prepper'? Do you mean what used to be called preppies, kind of the opposite of punkers? Guys who dress stylishly and all that? The English word will be used just like with punkers.
Apr 3	answered	What is the difference between “wie” and “was” in a certain context?
Mar 25	comment	Sentence order when using “abends”, “morgens”, etc Agreed. Typically the word order is taught as time, place, and then manner (such as with whom, etc.).
