Talk:German/Level III/Gespräche Unter Geschäftsmännern

Untitled
Removed bad german from the intro. Set das Rechnen instead of das Rechnungs, although das Rechnungswesen would translate better into 'accounting' but is a compounded noun itself and would be confusing here. 'kennen lernen'/'kennenzulernen' actually mean the same, while the second form is an extension (erweiterter Infitiv mit 'zu').
 * Thanks. Any help with German as really spoken is welcome here. Das Rechnungs comes from LEO which gives das Rechnungs as "accounting" and Rechnens as "calculation" - Marsh 02:21, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Rechnungswesen is a bit obscure, I don't know if it really exists. The simple Buchhaltung might be better. I'd change it right away if it wasn't used as an example :) --Vulture 14:23, 5 Jan 2004 (UTC)


 * Don't worry about making changes (as you suggest). I will see that a change has been made and readjust the lesson accordingly. Providing a reason on the talk page or in the "summary" is very helpful; but you need not (you can of course) make adjustments to other parts of the lesson - Marsh 19:02, 6 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Problem in 1A, states "Mark removes a Book", answer states "Markus holt das Buch". Question and Answer, need to have either definate or indefinate article for Book. I changed the question, to make it more in line with the example.--Bielenberg 14:18, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Grammatik 2-6 ~ Personal Pronouns: nominative case
Regarding the example sentence Du bist ein Schwein!, isn't the term Schwein a profoundly vile insult these days? I'm wondering whether or not there should be a note as to its usage (so as not to give the impression that it's a term that can be bandied about), or if it should be replaced by something more conversational?
