Difference between “ziemlich” & “ganz” @HendrikVogt Can you explain the difference? I'm clearly missing out on the joke here. :) |

Difference between “ziemlich” & “ganz” I accept that fine distinctions of usage like this can't have a simple, definitive answer that's true in all cases. But seeing all these examples can help me build up an idea of what connotations are associated with each and use that as a rule of thumb. |

Looking for translation of “Tanzverbot ” The word Prohibition (capitalized) by itself refers to the alcohol ban, yes. But you can talk of prohibitions of other things. The word sounds somewhat formal, but it fits in the context of governmental regulations or religious rules. |

What is the gender distribution of nouns in the German language? Distribution of cases would be interesting. I'd expect mostly nominative & accusative, a smaller amount of dative, and very little genitive (especially in spoken or informal contexts). |

What is the gender distribution of nouns in the German language? Won't counting only articles get you misleading data, because die is used for all plurals, der can be masculine nominative or feminine dative/genitive, and dem and des can be either masculine or neuter? |

How to distinguish between a female friend and a girlfriend? @KonradRudolph The ambiguity doesn't necessarily exist in English. You would just say "friend", since English nouns don't have gender like German ones. Also, stress is different between "girlfriend" and "girl friend" -- see the canonical example of "blackbird" vs "black bird", eg at englishplus.com/grammar/00000310.htm |
