How to translate the word “download” to German? I discourage the usage of das Herunterladen as a noun, because it's already used as a nominalization of the verb herunterladen. For example Das Herunterladen großer Dateien dauert lange is ok (nominalization) but Die Band bietet ihr neues Album als Herunterladen an. is not. |

Plural of Batch Following the frequently used plural Patches of the English loanword Patch I also vote for Batches if the English word is absolutely necessary. Otherwise, I'd prefer a German word. Linguee shows, that there are some: linguee.com/english-german/search?source=auto&query=batches |

The translation of the abbreviated sentence “He does”/“He doesn't” in German @Emanuel I've thought about your comment for some time but really can't see why any of my translations should be "wrong and confusing". The usage of tun emphasizes the action referred to like in Will Peter jetzt wirklich jeden Tag mit dem Fahrrad in die Arbeit fahren? - Ja, das will er tun., which in my opinion some people would say, actually (including me). As you've provided an alternative answer, I will not change mine, because I don't think it's incorrect. |

The translation of the abbreviated sentence “He does”/“He doesn't” in German @Sentry Not if tun replaces an action that has mentioned before (as in the above examples). It's bad style if it's used instead of a more exact verb like herstellen, legen, platzieren,... or if used in infinitive constructions to avoid conjugating a verb. Example: Ich tu' morgen kochen. instead of Ich koche morgen. |

Why isn't “Ich danke dir” “Ich danke dich?” +1 for the example of genitive object. |

Woher kommt die schweizerdeutsche Verstärkung “huren…”? Wörtliches Zitat als solches markiert. |

Conjunctions in subordinate clauses +1 because both sentences are valid. |

What would be some good exercises with a language partner for a beginner? Reading books or watching movies with a language partner? I don't think this is a good idea if you want to make conversation. Or did you mean reading the book before meeting and than talking about it? |

Der Genitiv von “Paket”: “des Pakets” oder “des Paketes”? +1 für den interessanten Link. |
