- help with "erfüllt" and "Tatbestand" I would like help with "erfüllt" and "Tatbestand" in this sentence: „Hitlers Machwerk ist von Hass und Menschenverachtung durchdrungen und erfüllt Experten zufolge den Tatbestand der Volksverhetzung.“ Is Hitler's book 'filled and steeped' with hate and contempt for mankind? In this case, erfüllt and durchdrungen work together. Or does 'erfüllt' connect with Tatbestand in a way that would require it to be translated as 'fits'? The book 'fills', or 'fits', the criteria to be considered a crime of hate speech, according to experts.January 23, 201620
- 'whether' introduces two possibilities. Often one of the possibilities is not written or spoken, but implied. The two possibilities here are 1) their English is at the required level, or 2) their English is NOT at the required level. Often, 'whether' can also be written as 'whether or not'. Example: 'an idea of whether or not their English is at the required level'.0 votedJanuary 23, 20160

I'm trying to learn english because it goes along with my primary work - developing web apps. At this monent the most usefull information about programming is written in english. My native language is Russian.
Good job. The highlight before "At this moment" indicates the need for proper spacing between the sentences, after the period. When I was young, I learned that two spaces are required after the period. I'm not sure if the "rules" or styles have changed since then or not.

just a fictious fictitious story..
Since a friend of mine and I already intended to go to the movies a couple of weekends before, we decided to do it this time.
Because he has chosen chose the last time what movie we were watching saw, this time it was my turn.
So I decided to watch an action movie called Mission Impossible 4. Im not a hardcore action fan but once in a while I really like to see these kinds of movies.
Before we went to the movies we had picked up a lot of junk food that we wolfed down while we were watching the movie.
After the performance movie ended, we were still going went to the bar of the movie theatre to drink a few beers. [/ ... we went to the movie theatre bar to drink...]
The next morning my stomach turned around a lot was upset, and I asked myself. , What's the reason for that? :)
Thanks a lot for translation in advance.0 votedDecember 23, 20120Ich bin 44 Jahre alt. Ist das noch jung oder schon alt? Ich kenne selbst dieses Problem. Wenn ich mit jungeren Männer spreche, finde ich das Gespräch sehr höfflich aber wir haben selten dieselbe Lebenserfahrungen. Meistens wollen sie nur einige Woche zu reden, bis sie ihre Prüfungen machen.
Außerdem bin ich ein sehr konservativer Amerikaner, was häufig für verrückt in Deutschland gehalten ist. Aber es macht Spaß, wenn Menschen über Politik oder sowas ähnliches ohne Streit reden können.
Schick bitte eine Nachricht an mich, wenn du Lust hast, zu skypen.
(Jemand hat mir gesagt, dass alle im Internet duzen - Ich habe nicht die Absicht, unhöfflich zu sein).
Wegen meines Arbeitsplan, bin ich gewöhnlich ab 15.00 bis 22.00 (deutsche Zeitzone) online. Also, nicht die ganze Zeit online, aber erreichbar.

This journal entry is inspired by Markus' cat story. :)
I love cats. They're funny. But our cats, we've got two of them, are pretty lazy. During the winter, a mouse often comes into our kitchen. Sometimes I can hear it crunching in the rubbish bin. Since it never touches anything else but the empty yoghurt pots, we let nature take its course. Good for the little mouse in the rubbish bin. Our cat (number 1) sleeping not far away from it... maybe half a meter on the window bench, does not even react.
She's more interested in birds. This year she was a very skillfull hunter. But maybe there were only enough stupid birds. (<-- the last sentence sounds strange to me. I'm not sure what you mean. Perhaps, "But maybe there weren't enough stupid birds"?)One day I went upstairs. When I passed a window, a dishevelled bird suddenly landed on the sill angrily twittering at me. Maybe it wanted a revenge.
Later I noticed the cat lurking around nearby. It seemed as if those little bluetits often hanged around on the sill this summer.
Good for the other cat (number 2) which is too lazy to walk downstairs. This evil thing prefers terrorising me by clawing the door to my room. I haven't seen her hunting yet, but one day I found two angry cats in my room. I wonder who of them caught the bird of which was not much left but a bunch of feathers.I wonder which of them...
caught the bird, whose remains were not much more than a bunch of feathers.
caught the bird, who was, by now, not much more than a bunch of feathers.
(It's ok to refer to the cat with 'who', but not when you write 'who of them'. In this case, it is better to write 'which of them' or 'which one of them'.)
Cats are so incredibly funny. The funniest fact about my cats is their eternal love-hate relationship. By day they hate each other, by night they share one sofa. Snoring full of fevour.fervour, with an R (or in the US, fervor)
(Sometimes I think something is sawing the roof beams...) Of course, they don't huddel up to each other...
huddle
Actually it's my cat's (number 2) place. She just tolerates the other cat which accepted a while ago that she would never conquer more than the backrest of the sofa.
You probably wonder what the cat's names are.cats' (plural, possessive)
Well, it's pretty simple: "cat". Sometimes I add some attributes like "terror cat", "beautiful cat", "fat cat", "lazy cat", "fine cat"... Who cares about names.
Cat number 1 came into our house one day. She was so hungry and thin that she munched our dog's food. She stayed with us. My sister wanted to adopt her and called her "cutie" or so. I (trend-setting as usual ;D) renamed this animal "cat".
Cat number 2 is from the animal shelter. She was older than the other cats and an arrogant beast. It was love at first sight. I took her home. She's very unique... When she walks downstairs, she mews with every step she takes. Sounds like a broken record.
Oh... And we've got two huge dogs. But that's another (funny) story about cats.0 votedDecember 17, 20122
