“Ellbogen” vs. “Ellenbogen” - is there a difference in usage? In truth German has so many dialects and regionalisms, that I wonder sometimes if there really is a standard German, or if it even matters. ;-) |

Asking “Which [something]” Additionally, you can use "welch" for "was für ein" (z.B., "Welch ein großes Problem!") or for "einige" (z.B., "Es gibt keine Äpfel mehr. Oh, hier sind doch welche!") usw. |

Sie/du reciprocity? @Glenn Nelson: Yes, you certainly can't go wrong starting high (Sie) and letting the other person bring you back down (Du) to their comfort level. |

When to use the future tense? In addition to the answers, I would point out that this is one of those times when German matches English. You can say, "I am traveling to Boston next week" or "I am going to travel..." or "I will travel..." all to mean a future event (note that "I travel to Boston next week" is used less often and usually only as a definitive statement). This has the same feel and usage in German. |

How do I build subordinative clauses relating to genderless nouns? @Black Your answer is exactly right. I would only add that using "wo" or "was" and the like to start the Nebensatz is another way around the problem. :-) |

Origin of the “dem Mann sein Hut” construct Didn't realize this ground had been covered last year, thanks! Also sorry, I didn't realize there was an acceptance "rate". It's often hard to choose from several very fine answers. No offense intended. |

Accent placement in “Waldfräulein” Good point about emphasis to contrast differences. :-) |
