Jun 18	comment	What is the translation for “random” in German? I guess I'm nobody. :-)
Jun 13	comment	What are the rules behind this translated phrase: “das, was ihr mich habt tun sehen”? Wir hätten uns den Weg zeigen lassen können gewollt. :-)
Jun 13	comment	Where to place “Bitte” in a sentence But the same is true for the other example: The third sentence emphasizes that it was the apprentice who spit, and the fourth emphasizes that it was the bald head where he spit on.

Jun 12	comment	How are words categorized into masculine, feminine and neutral But on the other hand, a different gender can also specify a different meaning, as in "der Kiefer" (a bone) vs. "die Kiefer" (a tree) or "der See" (lake) vs. "die See" (sea). And to make it even more complicated, sometimes even the pronounciation can differ: "Der Service" (spoken like the English word "Service", meaning, well, service) vs. "Das Service" (spoken like the French word, meaning a set of plates, cups etc.).
Jun 12	comment	Deppen Leer Zeichen Sehr schön finde ich auch "Diebstahl gesichert" im Fenster eines zum Verkauf angebotenen Autos (wo ich das gesehen habe, weiß ich nicht mehr, könnte auch aus dem Zwiebelfisch sein). Das ideale Angebot für Versicherungsbetrüger! :-)
Jun 12	comment	Herkunft von “Versuch nicht, uns ein X für ein U vorzumachen” "an einen anderen Ausdruck"
Jun 12	comment	How is the gender of new words established? @Kris_R: You can see the difference in a full sentence: "Die Jeans ist dreckig" vs. "Die Jeans sind dreckig".
Jun 12	comment	How is the gender of new words established? I would have thought that in "der Latte" it's because it's "der Kaffee" — after all, it's a special sort of coffee. Also "die Latte" already has another meaning.
Jun 12	comment	Is there a difference in pronunciation between “ist” and “isst”? Ambiguous situation: "er ist schnell" vs. "er isst schnell" — but here, in the first case youd' emphasize as "er ist schnell" while in the second case you'd normally say "er isst schnell" unless you explicitly want to emphasize "schnell" (OT-Englischfrage: habe ich "betonen" korrekt mit "emphasize" übersetzt?)
Jun 12	comment	Is “Mir ist kalt” correct? Did I hear it correctly? Another example of this is "mir ist schlecht" (which means something completely different than "ich bin schlecht") and "mir ist schwindlig". On the other hand, you say "ich bin müde", not "mir ist müde". Also "ich bin hungrig" and "ich bin durstig".

Jun 12	comment	Gibt es andere Sätze wie “Wenn Fliegen hinter Fliegen fliegen, fliegen Fliegen Fliegen hinterher”? Alternativvorschlag: Es kann Vorkommen, dass die Nachkommen mit dem Einkommen nicht auskommen.
Jun 12	comment	Gibt es andere Sätze wie “Wenn Fliegen hinter Fliegen fliegen, fliegen Fliegen Fliegen hinterher”? Es funktioniert auch mit Hexen, Rollen und Kugeln.
Jun 12	comment	Gibt es andere Sätze wie “Wenn Fliegen hinter Fliegen fliegen, fliegen Fliegen Fliegen hinterher”? Ich kenne das etwas anders: Männer, die vorm Schokoladenladen laden, laden Ladenmädchen ein.
