Jun 24	comment	How to express “silly” in German? @Cos Perhaps you'd like to clarify what you're trying to say here, as it seems quite offensive and nonesensical to me at the moment.

Jun 23	accepted	A fact following from an argument: “folgt von” or “folgt aus”?
Jun 23	comment	A fact following from an argument: “folgt von” or “folgt aus”? I'm just (re)writing an informal Skript for a Vorlesung. The original has a multi-line series of equations, and before them has "Using the divergence theorem we compute" and at the end has "Note that the last equation follows from the argument of Lemma XX combined with standard estimates, as can be for example found in [XX,Lemma XX]." I don't know if this really helps however :).

Jun 23	comment	A fact following from an argument: “folgt von” or “folgt aus”? Thanks for the answer Hendrik. I'll leave the mistakes in my original post since it perhaps gives better context to learners. It would be great if you could think of a 'standard' reformulation for the second part of the question.

Jun 23	comment	When should you use “erst” rather than “nur”? @Jan Thank you very much. This kind of implied meaning is very hard to learn. You're a champ!
Jun 23	comment	When should you use “erst” rather than “nur”? @Jan I would have always said "Ich war nur einmal in Berlin". Should I take it from your answer that this is incorrect?
