How to express “silly” in German? I would also like to add "bescheuert" and "bekloppt". They might sound a bit less playful at first, but I have been using them frequently when I would use "silly" in English. |

Are there any english subtitled german intellectual shows? Maybe I should've added subtitles :S But seriously, try contacting TV stations or production companies directly. It's your best shot. |

How to differentiate between sie (they) and sie (she)? And to add insult to injury: "Ihr ist schlecht" would mean "She's feeling sick/nauseous" :D |

Are there any english subtitled german intellectual shows? I find it quite weird, that Speldosa has to justify himself for his learning approach. I think on a beginners stage, any language exposure helps. Especially since Swedes are used to subtitled shows. But I agree, that the same-language-subtitles approach is better for advanced learners. Anyway, I think you'll be unlucky for your choice of genre. Basic rule of thumb: A DVD release will have subtitles, but the general "eduatainment" stuff like Quarks & Co doesn't make it on DVD. You could send a kindly worded enquiry to WDR or the like: www1.wdr.de/themen/global/kontakt/kontakt112.html |

Warum erhalten Zahlwörter manchmal das Suffix “-e”? Vielen Dank fuer den Hinweis zu den Oesterreichischen Dialekten. Wenn ich mich auf den Duden beziehe, dann impliziert das einen Bezug auf das Standarddeutsche. Das "ausnahmslos" bezieht sich somit auf alle Zahlwoerter, nicht auf alle Formen der deutschen Sprache. Also bitte nicht einfach sagen die Behauptung sei falsch. |

What is the correct answer to “alles klar”? Das ist der Punkt. Sogar Deutsche sind ironiebefaehigt. |

How do we translate “eye candy” in a user interface design context? Blickfang ist aber doch eher "eye-catching" oder nicht? |

Localization Help Cheers for the clarification and edit. While I support sensible date formats, I also keep in mind the high number of learners who frequent this site. If they were to use the ISO date in some sort of language test, they might be marked down for it. |

Wie wird die Redewendung “wie es im Buche steht” grammatisch gebildet? Just some translation help: The German "wie es im Buche steht" is a pretty direct cognate to the English "a textbook case". |

Localization Help Just be careful, the ISO/DIN standard YYYY-MM-DD is hardly ever used outside the IT domain. I'd say 99% of Germans would write a date: 14.5.2012 (DD.MM.YYYY). I don't think there is much confusion. So even in an IT context, you'd most likely report the date to the user using the DD.MM.YYYY format. The 70+ generation might even use 14.V.2012, that is the months indicated in Roman numbers. |
