Is there a difference in pronunciation between “ist” and “isst”? One thing worth noting is that in "ist" the t tends to be dropped in informal spoken language ("Er is' 'ne Gurke."). That does not happen with "isst" ("Er isst 'ne Gurke."). |

Why no perfect participle? “Sie hat sich scheiden lassen” There is also a grammIS article about the Ersatzinfinitiv. |

Is the verb “türken” offensive? Der Spieler im Schachautomaten wurde damals als Türke dargestellt. Vgl. Wikipedia: "Die Schachmaschine bestand aus einer in türkische Tracht gekleideten Figur eines Mannes (...)". |

A German equivalent for “The devil's in detail” Das gibt's auch auf Hochdeutsch: "Der Teufel ist ein Eichhörnchen". |

Difference between 'Ich sollte' and 'Ich hätte … sollen' They are both grammatically correct, but they don't mean the same. Emanuel posted the two possible translations for the first sentence; you, Jamie, posted the one for the second sentence. Can you see the different meanings there? |

What is the difference between Entschuldigen and Entschuldigung? @musiKk: Where do you see the problem with "ich entschuldige mich"?. One reading of "entschuldigen" is reflexive -- "sich entschuldigen" -- the first person singular of which is of course "ich entschuldige mich". |
