»Passt das dir?« oder »Passt dir das?«?Passt dir das? ist die gebräuchliche Variante. Warum aber in diesem Beispiel Dativobjekt vor Subjekt steht, kann ich nicht erklären, ich bin gespannt auf die Antworten. |

When to use which pronoun declination: mein, meiner, meine, meins, etc @user1205935 Ah, you're right. The original is ambigous, I haven't noticed. |

When to use which pronoun declination: mein, meiner, meine, meins, etc @user1205935 The subject of the relative clause is die Zeit and the auxiliary verb is therefore 3rd person singular, i.e. hat. The relative pronoun substituting die Jahre is the object of the relative clause. Cf. canoo.net/services/OnlineGrammar/Satz/Komplex/Funktion/Attribut/…, third example. |

Gibt es ein Verb für “Ein Zeichen wird durch seine Escape-Sequenz ersetzt”? Ich würde auch maskieren verwenden und finde es daher auch durchaus verständlich. |

Why is it “der Presse” instead of “die Presse” My answer was wrong regarding the case. Thanks for clarifying. |

When to use which pronoun declination: mein, meiner, meine, meins, etc @Brian Sorry for my late answer..and yes, that's right. The point is that the pronoun isn't inflected in etw. ist mein and that it means etw. gehört mir. My examples were supposed to show that immaterial nouns can also be used with personal pronouns. |

“Theoretische Informatik” oder “theoretische Informatik” @chaero Beim Veranstaltungsnamen muss man wohl genauer differenzieren. Der Hinweis mit dem Institutsnamen ist natürlich richtig. Ich habe meine Antwort entsprechend geändert. |

Warum ist “Das Konklave” neutrum? @Martin Womöglich auch wegen des Wortes die Enklave. |

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. |

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? |
