May 21	comment	When to use possessive pronouns vs. dative pronoun + definite article For kitzeln you usually say "Ich kitzele das Baby an den Füßen".
Apr 19	comment	Welche Wortarten gibt es im Deutschen? Der Plural von "Adverb" ist übrigens "Adverbien". Mit i. ;)
Apr 18	comment	Schreibst du einen Brief an deinen Vater? @DenysS. Yes, this is the correct way to check. The questions "where to" (wohin) and, in this case, "to whom" ask about direction, which means the preposition requires accusative. If you ask "where", you ask about location, in which case the preposition requires dative.
Apr 17	comment	What's the meaning of “schon”? "Ist der Platz schon frei" sounds very strange to me in the context you describe. I'm guessing he started to say "Ist der Platz schon besetzt?" and changed his mind mid-sentence.
Mar 27	comment	Den Unblöden gehört die Welt! - What does Unblöden mean? +1 for the footnote.
Mar 19	comment	How to address more than one person in an E-mail? Not a stupid question at all! :)
Jan 25	comment	*Two quotes (without quotation marks) in one* sentence, introduced by two colons?** I don't think you can do it in two sentences because the second part doesn't have a verb and therefore isn't a sentence. Excellent question, though. I've never before wondered about the necessity of quotation marks and colons.
Jan 18	comment	Welche Wortart ist “genug” Gute Frage. Ich hätte spontan "Adverb" gesagt, aber Deine Quellen und die Ausarbeitung meiner Antwort haben mich vom Gegenteil überzeugt. ;)
Jan 16	comment	Regeln für neue Getrenntschreibung Müsste man den Ausdruck nicht auch, wenn man ihn getrennt schreibt, als "tiefer greifend" steigern? Oder gilt das auch für zusammengesetzte Kombinationen wie "hochrangig" -- "höherrangig"? Nur ein paar Gedanken zum Thema.
Jan 11	comment	Bindestrich zur besseren Lesbarkeit @userunknown: That is plainly wrong. Read until the end, please.
Jan 8	comment	Bedeutung von “menscheln” Ich habs schon mal gelesen: schuellers-im-netz.de/Grafik/Cliparts/Fun/Menscheln.jpg
Dec 14	comment	Kontrollieren Sie bitte meine Hausaufgabe, Komparativ Schau Dir nochmal an, was die Komparative von "gern" und "oft" sind.
Dec 6	comment	Manner-adverb placement "Schnee", "Kaffe" and "Urlaub" are mass nouns, which both in German and English generally don't need an article. Compare: "I like snow" -- "I like the snow". "I like coffee" -- "I like the coffee". "I like vacation" -- "I like the vacation".
Dec 6	comment	Anführungszeichenmissbrauch Schöne und ausführliche Antwort, @TehMacDawg! Erklärst Du bitte noch die Signifikanz der Zahlen (99, 66 etc)? Die ist mir nicht klar.
Dec 6	comment	Wie beugt man den Nikolaus? +1 für den Titel! :D
Nov 21	comment	Suche ein geeignetes Wort für umgangssprachlich “unfit” Wow, @Em1, das liest sich fast wie ein Kommentar von user unknown ;) (sorry fürs OT)
Nov 19	comment	Accusative or dative for verbs of movement Ah, sorry, I overlooked that part of your question. Each preposition demands a case, i.e. the noun (phrase) the preposition refers to has to be in that case. "Zu" demands dative. There are prepositions that allow more than one case. "In", for instance, allows both dative and accusative: dative for a place (der Mann sitzt im Büro) and accusative for a direction (der Mann geht in das Büro).
Nov 15	comment	List of correct terms for inhabitants of countries How about this: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnonym
Nov 9	comment	What would be some good exercises with a language partner for a beginner? Do you mean "language partner" as in "fellow student of German" or as in "native German speaker studying English, so you can help each other"?
Sep 11	comment	Learning German helpful for any other language learning This would also depend on what your native language is. Are you already familiar with cases and grammatical gender? If you aren't, learning German will teach you these concepts and you will be able to use that knowledge when you learn another language that has these concepts.
