| schlaff The German word 'schlaff' is an adjective used to describe something that is flabby or lacking in firmness. It can be used to describe a person who is out of shape or has lost muscle tone. It can also be used to describe objects that are not firm or well-structured. For example, a 'schlaffer' handshake would be a weak or limp handshake. Here's how to use it: Ich fühle mich heute schlaff. Das Seil ist zu schlaff, um es zu benutzen. Er schüttelte meine schlaffe Hand. | |
| Argument The German word 'Argument' is used in the same way as in English, referring to a reason or fact for or against something. It can be used in the context of a discussion or debate, where each party presents their arguments to support their point of view. Here's how to use it: Das ist ein starkes Argument. Sein ganzes Argument war fehlerhaft. Das Argument geht ins Leere. | |
| Hymnen In German, the word 'Hymnen' is the plural form of 'Hymne', which translates to 'hymn' in English. Hymns are typically religious songs or poems of praise, often sung during church services or other spiritual gatherings. In German-speaking contexts, 'Hymnen' can refer to hymns in both religious and secular settings, such as national anthems or other patriotic songs. Here's how to use it: Wir singen immer unsere Hymnen vor einem Spiel. Die Hymnen wurden in der Kirche gesungen. Die Schule beginnt den Tag mit Hymnen. | |
| Digitaluhr Digitaluhr is the German term for a digital watch. It is used to refer to any watch that displays the time digitally, as opposed to an analog watch which uses hands and a dial. Digital watches are popular for their accuracy and ease of use. Here's how to use it: Meine Digitaluhr zeigt die falsche Zeit an. Ich habe eine neue Digitaluhr gekauft. Die Digitaluhr im Zug ist kaputt. | |
| Riss The German word for crack is Riss. It is used to describe a narrow opening or fissure in a surface, often caused by stress or pressure. It can be used in various contexts, such as a crack in a wall, a crack in a window, or a crack in a piece of pottery. It can also be used metaphorically to describe a weakness or flaw in a system or plan. Here's how to use it: Ich habe einen Riss in meiner Jeans gefunden. Es gibt einen Riss in der Tasse. Der Riss in der Wand wird immer größer. | |
