Why is it “mir ist übel” and not “ich bin übel”? Your explanation is correct. "Mir" is not a word that can do the action. Some textbooks call this construct an "understood" or implied subject. The "es" is implied or understood to be there. |

What does it mean when my friend comes up to me and says “Na”? In addition to the answer, it also carries the meaning of "Well," as in "Well, what's up?" usw. |

What is the difference in usage between “Vielen Dank” and “Danke schön”? You will also hear "Schönen Dank!" in some of the southern regions, which I guess came as a kind of a reverse combination of these two expressions. :-) |

What is the difference in usage between “Vielen Dank” and “Danke schön”? "Danke für das Eis!" would be okay, but adding "schön" seems a bit more awkward. |

Welchen Ursprung hat das Wort “Pustekuchen”? Das schon. Einige davon betreffen Diskussionen und wären deshalb schwer zu kopieren, aber na, ja. :-) |

Is “Erkennungsausweis” an actual word in German? Well said. An Internet search does demonstrate a somewhat extant use of the word but in the context and origin you've explained. To the question of whether the word is an actual word, this touches on German's generous ability to create new words by combining words together, which also makes it difficult to find them in a standard dictionary. |
