    Translate these sentence from German to English? This is more for experimental purposes, but I'm in a class where we're looking at translation, and how sentences can be altered based on who is translating them. Would a native German speaker please take a look at these sentences below, and translate them to English? There's obviously no right and wrong here, but I would very much appreciate the help! They were translated by a friend of mine who is German from English to German, but the second part of all this is to have another (or more than one) German native to transcribe them back to English! :) Die Kinder essen den Fisch Schick dem Lehrer einen Brief von deiner neuen Schule Der Fisch wird von den Kindern gegessen. Wer umarmt diesen Hund da? Der Geist ist willig, aber das Fleisch ist schwach.

    "Busted" is a term used in informal English, and there are several ways to use it. Here are some examples: 1. broken, not correctly functioning, doesn't work. Example(s): My camera has been busted since I dropped it in water. He busted his leg skiing. 2. caught doing something "you shouldn't have been doing", either by the police, your parents, a significant other, etc. Examples: I got busted by my mom last night. She found out I was at a party instead of studying.

    I think a more natural way of saying this would be: "She has a habit of not saying hello when she returns home."

    All of the examples you gave are grammatically correct so yes, they're interchangeable. They could all be used, but the one that sounds most natural and the one that is used most often would be "untie a knot".

    Crazy and insane are more or less interchangeable because they can both be used to express being enthusiastic, upset or describing something that's demented. The meaning that you want to get across to whom you're speaking with ultimately depends on your tone and the context of your sentence. For example: "You're insane/You're crazy" are both sentences that can be said mockingly, like when you're teasing someone, but they can also be used to express genuine disbelief or used as an insult. That being said, when using these words, whether or not you want them to come across as negative or positive is completely up to you. It depends on your tone and the context of the sentence.

    These words are known as "reductions" in the English language. There are several types of reductions (e.g cannot = can't, will not = won't, which are a form of reductions known as contractions) but the type you're asking about are reductions of a verb and "to". They're frequently used in informal English. -Wanna Formation: wanna = want + to Usage: I wanna go to the park. Meaning: I want to go to the park. -Gonna Formation: gonna = going + to Usage: I'm gonna have to work late today. Meaning: I'm going to have to work late today. -Gotta Formation: gotta = got + to Usage: I gotta get up early in the morning. Meaning: I got to get up early in the morning. I hope this helps!

    仕事は疲れる... 最近、朝起きると「行きたくない。やめようかな。」と漠然と思っていました。 私毎日行きたくないです。 仕事のあと私の体が痛いです。 辞めたいです。正直今すぐにでも。 本当にこんな自分がいやです。 仕事があるだけでもありがたいのに... 今からもっと頑張ります。
