Is the word “Wissenschaft” broader than “science”? @Toscho... not really important nit pick... how do Geistenwissenschaften and for example Sozialwissenschaften not overlap? |

What is the relative position of complements when there's a time adverb? I don't think that the version proposed is correct. It sounds wrong to me and I can't think of any situation in which it would be correct. |

What is the relative position of complements when there's a time adverb? I would love to give +10 for the last paragraph!!! German sentence structure knows no rules except for the verb one and this "The more relevant the later"... which applies perfectly to the sentence in question. |

“Mindestens” vs “zumindest”. Gibt es einen Unterschied? Ah, ok, ich verstehe was du meinst aber in diesen Fällen würde ich (persönlich) den Satz anders bauen und sagen: "Aber zumindest haben sie 100 Leute gelesen"... zumindest also als klares Adverb von der Zahl trennen. |

Why isn't the adjective declined just as the corresponding noun is? Language is not constructed. It evolves naturally and it is the way it is. There is nothing to understand. You just have to accept it for what it is. If you want to know the historical evolution, then I suggest you edit your question in that regard and take out the parts that just express how pointless you think the inflection is... no offense... it is just a weird question as it stands now. |

logical steps to write an essay The same approach as in any language. Think about it and then share your opinion. |

What is the difference between “versuchen” and “probieren”? @Em1: Another regional/peer group/generation thing ... I would never ever use versuchen in context of food and I tell my students that it is wrong :) |

“Mindestens” vs “zumindest”. Gibt es einen Unterschied? Dann ist es vermutlich was regionales, denn "Wir brauchen zumindest 2 Stunden Zeit" klingt für mich komisch, egal welcher Kontext gegeben ist. Ich würde das nie so sagen... aber wie, gesagt, da gibt's wohl kein richtig und kein falsch. |

Meaning of “einmal” as adverb I come from the Berlin area and here we rarely say "einmal" but rather just "mal". However, I think the general meanings and colorings are the same. I have done quite an extensive article on all the different meanings of "mal/einmal" on my blog so I'm sure you'll find answers there... if you're willing to read all 5000 words :): yourdailygerman.wordpress.com/2013/04/08/meaning-mal |

Is “selbstbewusst” a negative word? Conceded. We would need to do a investigation or present credible sources on the use of selbstbewusst to find out. btw: @Takkat: thanks for the deletion... I meant to write a comment and was wondering where it went :) |

Is “selbstbewusst” a negative word? Spelling is not language. Spelling is an agreed on system to capture language in writing. Agreed on by commissions and a good thing. But language was there long before spelling and despite spelling there are still dialects. So.. if language wants to change, you can try your best to prevent that change from happening but in the end, majority will prevail. |

“I was working” in German @Dustin: Spanish, French, Italian... it is not entirely the same but grammatically it is and in meaning and usage there is an overlap. I used my knowledge of progressive aspect to build nice sounding constructions with the participle 1 |
