    Troubles with the word "pure" Is it correct to use the word "pure" if you talk about an air cleaning filter? I've got one example here: "An overflow valve is arranged between the raw side and the pure side of the filter element and is displaced into an open position in case the pressure of the liquid exceeds a threshold value on the raw side of the filter element." (www.wipo.int) And would it be correct to use the word "pure" to say that a room, e.g. a clean room in the pharmceutical field, is free of germs and other microorganisms? An example: When you open a transfer hatch in a clean room, you open it on the pure side of the transfer hatch. Please help me to understand the usage of the word "pure" correctly. Thank you. P.S. Yes, I know, that "pure" is usually used in the chemistry (pure water, pure gold, etc.) but as I see people use it in different areas in different ways.

    Hallo Katharina, der deutsche Michel wird immer noch verwendet, hat eine eher abwertende Konnotation, es ist nämlich ein beschränktes Sinnbild des typischen Deutschen, der obrigkeitshörig ist. Deutscher Michel: ein weltfremder, unpolitischer und etwas schlafmütziger Deutscher. (Duden) (ähnlich der französischen Marianne, dem amerikanischen Uncle Sam und dem englischen John Bull) Beispiele aus Zeitungen & Internet: - Niemand protestiert, obwohl klar ist, wer das alles zahlt: der Deutsche Michel und die Industrie. - Der deutsche Michel gehorcht und gehorcht - Der deutsche Michel kann auch anders – Demos gegen Islamfeindlichkeit und gauckschen Militarismus Wie du aus den Beispielen vielleicht erkennen kannst, steht der "deutsche Michel" meist als Synonym für "die Deutschen" mit einer negativen Konnotation, wobei eine oder mehrere Eigenschaften des deutschen Michels (je nach Kontext) implizit mitschwingen.

    Hi, also du kannst z. B. an der Uni Mainz im 6. Fachbereich für Translations-, Sprach- und Kulturwissenschaften studieren und in den Sprachen Deutsch und Arabisch übersetzen. :)

    does it colocate Hello everyone! Do the following words colocate and are the expressions correct? Just in case some expressions are not unambiguous you'll find a short explanation in brackets. 1. natural state is still deteriorating (expl.: natural state is still getting worse) 2. report on the state of nature (expl.: a document about the natural state) 3. the situation is more dramatic than suspected (expl.: the situation is worse than people thought it to be) 4. two third or two thirds of the protected species? 5. protected species and habitats are in acute danger (they are in serious and growing dangerous situation)

    Does this phrase have another meaning? Hey guys, I just wondered whether the phrase "thank you very much" has another meaning because it sounds a bit strange in the first sentence of a book: "Mr and Mrs Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much." And yes, it's Harry Potter))

    Please correct this sentence Please correct: I wanted to tell you long ago but I couldn't get the words out. Probably from German: Ich wollte es dir schon lange sagen. Ich hab's aber nie raus bekommen.

    People all over the world, please help to find trustworthy sources! Hey folks, I need help from people all over the world! I would really like to know what other countries (except for Russia, Ukriane and Germany) say about the situation in Ukraine! Unfortunatelly, I don't understand every language in the world, I don't know which newspaper of a country is trustworthy and SERIOUS and it's not enough for me, what is shown on tv in my country. This is why I'm looking for SERIOUS newspapers all over Europe, South and North America, Asia and Africa and ask you for help!

    In German we say for "It's boring/I'm bored": Mir ist langweilig. In Russian: Mne skuchno. or: Skukatischa :) The word "boring" itself is: "langweilig" or "skuchno"
