Is there a different usage of “Erpel” vs. “Enterich”? Once upon a time my professor started with "Liebe Studenten und Studerpel!" (probably a pun on political correctness, as you were supposed to say "Studentinnen und Studenten" or "Studierende" instead of the male form "Studenten"). |

Sentence structure tips: verb placement Could be worse, in Japanese the verb comes always at the end :-) |

Usage of “aber” It has the connotation of "of course", "without question", "no problem", "it's a pleasure" or "glad to help", depending on the context. Especially if someone asks for a favor, this answer reassures the person that you are not bothered at all by that request. |

Usage of “aber” "die Partikeln" ist der korrekte Plural zu "die Partikel" (eine Wortklasse). Der Plural "die Partikel" ist nur richtig für "das Partikel" (im Sinne von "Teilchen"). |

What's this structure called? The right answer is "worden", and it's a kind of passive, but I don't know how it's called exactly. |

What is the German equivalent of foo, bar, baz? I use "bla" and "blubb", too. Additionally "laber", which can be extended to "laber-sülz", e.g. for testing Umlaut capabilities. |

Asking “Which [something]” You can ask "Was für eine [Liste]?" and "Was für ein [Mann]?", too, although most people would agree that "Welche(r)...?" sounds more elegant. |

How do you say “Three strikes, you're out!” in German? "'Drei Mal ist Bremer Recht': Als Bremer kann man sich nach zwei misslungenen Versuchen an irgendwas immer herrlich rausreden mit 'Dreimal ist Bremer Recht', aber es heißt auch, das die liberalen Bremer jedwedem drei Mal eine Chance einräumen." de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bremensien |

Differences between “muss gut gewesen sein” vs. “musste gut sein” I think "The concert must have been really good" is a possible translation, but also "It looks like the concert was really good", depending on the context. So you were not there, but you have some strong indication that you really missed something. |
