Does German phonetics fully determine the spelling? Thanks, useful information. +1 Maybe I didn't reflected in the question's title what I am really after, so is my fault, but I was really interested in the accents. |

Is there a practical difference between “e” and “ä”? Would it be possible to give a recipe to correctly pronounce [ɛ]? I mean, to pronounce "ö" I was told to open the mouth as if I wanted to say "o" but then pronounce an [e]. Same for "ü" ([y]): mouth as for saying "u" but then say [ɪ]. With some practice this works. But I got no rule for "ä" so it just sounds as [e] when I say it. |

Adding -es to adjectives after “etwas” @Uwe eigentlich nicht. The linked question already states that they are nouns: the question is why are they and whether every adjective can be substantivized that way. |

Adding -es to adjectives after “etwas” May be this is a related question (or the same) german.stackexchange.com/questions/6489/… As for me, the OP is asking about the nominalization of adjectives. |

“Der gute Mann” vs. “Ein guter Mann” +1. Aber was ist der Ursprung dieser Änderung? Hat es damit zu tun, dass man keine Information widerholen will? z.B. In „ein guter Mann” enthüllt der Artikel das Geschlecht des Substantivs nicht. In Gegenteil, ein bestimmter Artikel macht es und „der guter Mann” würde Wiederholung. |

Where to place “sich” in an elaborate sentence? @TvF thanks for the remark. I was just questioning the completeness of this answer. I did that by producing, following the given rule, a sentence which sounds strange. I agree your version is the correct one. |

Rules for capitalizing adjectives after “etwas, nichts…”? After the tinny edit of the answer, I undersand now what you mean. However, the answer seems cyclic. Now the question is "when can you either append "-heit" or "-keit" OR or place a noun marker in front of it? |

Rules for capitalizing adjectives after “etwas, nichts…”? Are, say, "die Rotheit" and "das Rote" both valid? |

Where to place “sich” in an elaborate sentence? Thanks. The examples in the link are more or less simple. I'm rather asking about a more general rule. The rule you gave is very useful for Hauptsätze, but according to your rule the following sentece has the 'sich' in the right place: "Du muss andere Möglichkeit suchen, weil das nicht machen lässt sich" klingt seltsam, oder? |

Was bedeutet ,,weitvergessen"? It is too localized now that I know that "weitvergessen" desn't even exist. |

Was bedeutet ,,weitvergessen"? Ja, höchstwahrscheinlich @userunknown. Ich habe nur eine PDF-Datei -- angeblich wurde das Buch scanniert und den Buchstaben falsch erkannt. |

Can it be correct to use “sei” instead of “ist” in this sentence? is it different from "Er sagt, dass das verboten ist"? or is this second sentence incorrect? |

Are there non-trivial examples of sentences where the use of one case, instead of other, changes the meaning? Doch, aber da hast du das Verb geändert. |

Unterschied zwischen “da” und “weil” im Nebensatz Ich habe gehört, einen Satz mit "weil" anzufangen, klingt seltsamer als den mit "da" zu beginnen. |
