How to say “please do not slam the door” in German? This "verbale Wortkette" is especially common when written on a sign. |

Can it be correct to use “sei” instead of “ist” in this sentence? +1 nice explanation of Konjunktiv and Indikativ. We could also add that using Konjunktiv II ("wäre" in this case) would generally be used for reported speech implying the stated fact is wrong. Example: "Er sagte, er wäre nicht zu schnell gefahren." (was speeding) vs. "Er sagte, er sei nicht ..." (may or may not have been speeding). |

What's the difference between “manch” and “viel”? By the way, Liebesspiel is quite specific for physical love, and I'm not quite sure this is what the game we know as love is supposed to express here... (or is it really?) |

Is „Hochsee tauglich“ wrong? Besides, this kind of fault is called "Deppenleerzeichen" or Leerzeichen in Komposita (lit. spaces in composites), as it is quite widely used. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leerzeichen_in_Komposita |

When to use bei, bei der, beim and in, im, in der? OK, that's true. You do agree though this is colloquial German, don't you? |

How would one say that he has “finished” something? fertig gelesen is widely used in Switzerland. I agree though that it sounds slightly odd to me, thinking of "German German". |
