How to make a right Pig's ear of something- An old english saying. But in German? In english there is a particular expression for if someone makes an extreme mess of something. Say if I saw my friend trying to fix his bike tire but failing very badly and making a mess of it. I would say: "Your making a right pig's ear of that" The expression derives from the old proverb 'you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear', which dates from the 16th century. The English clergyman Stephen Gosson published the romantic story Ephemerides in 1579 and in it referred to people who were engaged in a hopeless task: "Seekinge too make a silke purse of a Sowes eare." 'Make a pig's ear of' alludes to what might be the result if someone did try to make something from a sow's ear - not a silk purse but a complete mess. Is there a german expression like this I could use?

Was bedeutet diese Strafe? Recently I've been listening to the Pimsleur series to refresh my german but something came up I didn't quite understand. It was:"Und Ich bringe das Geld, das ist die schulde" Now I understand the translation to english was I bring the money that I owe you. Aber auf Deutsch für mich es macht keinen Sinn! Does "das ist die Schulde" mean something like "that is owed" Any help greatly appreciated!

What is the difference and when would you use warum and wieso?

Wie sagt man auf Deutsch, "That will be useful". Ist es "Das wird nützlich sein"?
