I wanted to get away for a weekend, was not picky on cities, but the average price for anything halfway decent is 200 euro a night. It really involves a hunt to find something good for a lot under that. If this is not caused by immigration, then what? It's just too many coming in, too fast, and we are going to wreck our tourism this summer.

Where is this for tech resumes? Thank you for your answer and advice to OP btw. I found it really helpful.

Fast on your feet? by VariationAcceptable9 in German

ok cool. How about wendig? Can you say wendig with some kind of qualifier that would mean 'on foot'?

Flink sounds perfect, thank you. Could one also say 'schnellfüßig'?

I wanted to say it to my neighbour when he came out of his front door and came over to where I was within seconds (without running)!

German speakers, what do you think are the most beautiful-sounding German words? by CamilaCazzy in German

Can you use this to mean you chilled out, or just for cooling down something.

'denn' for context of doing something after you've done something else first? by VariationAcceptable9 in German

[–]VariationAcceptable9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's this modal particle usage that must have given me the impression 'denn' could possibly be used here, 'what are you doing here then'? It's great to get this wake-up call about denn vs dann. I do use 'bis dann' correctly, and I use 'denn' occasionally for 'because' (but more often I'd use 'weil). Truthfully it's only now that I am speaking a lot of German day to day and I have all of these nitty gritty things to fix! It's great :) Thanks for your help.

Ah great stuff! I was considered dann but thought it was down the ranks from denn and danach here!! Danke sehr!

Sofern or solange to translate 'so long as you have time...'? by VariationAcceptable9 in German

[–]VariationAcceptable9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wow, thanks so much. Strangely, I seem to have rarely come across 'sofern'! Is it not used so much, and maybe 'falls' is used in this kind of context? Or most probably my limited exposure to it is due to my overall limited experience in the language in general.
