So you better use "von"


Brits and Aussies I need to get rid of that word, in school you learn British English here in 9 out of 10 cases and I hate it

Yes, good oxford and cambridge english - aahaa!

Yes Nuttyone: that´s the Distributivgesetz. And I know it, but 11 year old boys do not believe what good old Mom says and do not listen to the teacher and when the classe writes a test the little boy will be very surprised, that the teacher does not only want the right sum, but also see the way of calculation.

I know the phrase. SAG IHM NICHTS DARÜBER.
It´s like "Don´t talk about that (topic) to him.


See you!

Thank you, you are a star

well...maybe its a stupid question but i need to know!
its about the sentences with "lass"
i mean if i say "LASS UNS GEHEN" it means "let's go"
right?
but in the other hand it cvould be "LET US GO"
ANYWAYS the problem is i liek a songcalled lass un laufen...but whats the meaning in that case?
i think "LET'S RUN" Xd

wooups this is for here

da er langweilig ist, gehen wir nach Hause

is it correct?

It is correct but I don't think it is what you wanted to express


Da er langweilig ist, gehen wir nach Hause means Because he is boring, we are going home.

Da er sich langweilt, gehen wir nach Hause (is the alternative I offer you :P) means Because he is bored, we are going home.


If you meant the first then yes it is right

Yes, it's always the same

Lass uns + verb (infinitive) = let us + verb (infinitive)

so....we could not identify if there's "lass uns laufen" = "let us run" or "let's run"
i mean if i read a sentecxe with "lass uns" is not always "let us..."?

Actually it's both the same.

Let us go = Let's get out of here (for example because we re bored)
Let us go = Let's go (we re in prison and we want to be set free from the police)

They're both the same in English and in German as well.

Lass uns gehen - Lass uns gehen (the above mentioned second example only works with a few verbs but the Let us = Lass uns thing is always the same and therefore depends on context in both languages)

you're totally right!
i mean i was confussed, cos for me "let us go" its like a imperative way
but i realized i was wrong its the same as "lets go"
sorry im not an english native speaker, actually im learning english yet LOL
thanks for answer my question =)

You're welcome / de nada

thanks thanks
anyway it's not the content that matters is the use of "da"
thank you again

Wenn aus dem "Nein" ein "Ja, aber" wird:

"Unfug" und "völlig daneben": 2008 war sich die Politik in der Ablehnung von Nacktscannern noch einig. Nach dem vereitelten Flugzeug-Anschlag setzen Union und FDP nun auf neue Scanner mit "Datenschutz-Funktion".

Translate plz

Ha

When a "No" becomes a "Yes, but":

"Devilment" and "Totally amiss": 2008 politics still agreed about body scanners. After the thwarted flight assualt CDU and FDP now want a new scanner with "Data protection function".

diffeference between noch mehr and nicht mehr? Which one means anymore? What does the other one mean?

A good question

Some examples:
Im Keller gibt es noch mehr Äpfel.
There are even more apples in the cellar.
Or: There are still more apples in the cellar
Gibt es im Keller noch mehr Äpfel?
Are there any more/anymore apples in the cellar?


Ich gehe nicht mehr in die Schule.
I don't go to school anymore.
Ich will das nicht mehr.
I don't want this anymore.

Does this answer your question?
Both can mean the English "anymore" though in different contextes. The one you mean is "nicht mehr". "Noch mehr" is used in combination with quantities.

Yes that does answer my question, thanks for the detailed answer

what means "lautonom"???

Google tells me, that you are referring to the new Album of "Killerpilze". Please, dont ask single words, give a complete context. Such words, which are no regular german words, can only be explained by its context.

Lautonom is an artificial word, drawn together of
Laut (=loud) und autonom (=independent, self-governed).
It reminds also a bit to Metronom (metronome), suggesting this is an Instrument for measuring the loudness and giving the album title a musical context.
