Was ist bitte eine Palette mit Besatz? Es handelt sich um Logistik, zu dem Ausdruck habe ich leider keine nähere Erklärung. Ich dachte "Besetzung einer Palette mit Ware", aber diese Interpretation passt nicht in den zweiten Satz unten.

Kontext:
Handling von ganzen Lagereinheiten mit Besatz < Vollpalettenbesatz laut Artikelstamm

Für bestimmte Empfänger dürfen nur Vollpaletten ausgelagert werden (Bestellmenge je Artikelposition ist durch den Vollpalettenbesatz teilbar).

Paletten aus dem Lagerbereich mit 70% des Vollpalettenbesatzes werden als Vollpalette ausgelagert und die fehlende Menge wird über die Kommissionierung auf einer anderen Palette dem Auftrag hinzugefügt.

I see that "to run the vacuum cleaner" = "den Staubsauger bedienen".  One could imagine that this would carry over to running the dishwasher, the (clothes) washer, and the clothes dryer, etc.  However, running the vacuum cleaner requires continuous action from the user, whereas running the dishwasher, etc. involves pushing a button or flipping a switch.  What would be the correct translation for these?

"einschalten" is more specific (to switch on). More likely would be "den Geschirrspüler eingeschaltet haben", which is more spoken language, while you would read "in Betrieb" in printed directions for use.

I think if  said I ran the dishwasher or I'm going to run the dishwasher tomorrow etc. I'd always mean that I'd put/turned it on (and let it run), so both laufen lassen and einschalten would effectively mean the same thing. The only exceptions I can think of for this are:
I run the dishwasher at night to because it costs less - here I'm saying that the whole of the dishwasher's cycle was during off-peak hours rather than that I started it during non-peak hours (i.e. I didn't start it just before non-peak hours end). I think laufen lassen would work here.
The kitchen sink smells when the dishwasher runs - this is another one where we're talking about the whole period for which the dishwasher is on, but the dishwasher rather than a person is the one doing the running, so it doesn't feel like quite the...

Samples sind Meßwerte. Ob jetzt von Schalldruck oder Helligkeit oder allem möglichen.

by poietikos, 2023-05-28, 13:18  like dislike  Spam?  88.103.230....
I am looking for a translation of these two expressions. They should be roughly equivalent to calling someone "ein Unheimlicher," which I would translate as "a creepy person," "a weirdo," or something like that. "Der kennt nichts" in this context seems to be more or less like "he is out of his mind." The expression "er geht durch und dünn" here seems to have absolutely nothing to do with solidarity, as "through thick and thin" does in English. It seems to be more about someone who has no regard to obstacles or boundaries and is perhaps unaware of them altogether. Perhaps "he is reckless." But I need something that approximates what a child might say.

Where I come from, a creepy person and a weirdo are more or less the same. That's just how words are used, but I realize that there are regional differences.

I think that "er geht durch dick und dünn" is a misprint. A comma should probably be inserted after "durch."

Thanks for the suggestions!

With a comma after durch, the phrase er geht durch, could suggest 'he is out of control'. The meaning of the intransitive durchgehen said of a bolting horse would then be applied figuratively to a human.

However, the dick und dünn after a comma causes confusion. It makes one think instantly of the fixed expression er geht durch dick und dünn.  As RedRufus pointed out, there is no comma in that expression.

"der kennt nichts" is at least roughly synonymous with "er geht durch dick und dünn," also with calling someone "ein Unheimlicher."

It is most certainly not about solidarity. It is about a person who wrecklessly goes his own way without any regard to obstacles.

Für solche Menschen, denen sie nicht trauen, haben wir bei Wiener Kindern den bezeichnenden Ausdruck ›Ein Unheimlicher‹ gefunden. »Der kennt nichts« sagen sie. Man vergleiche diese Bemerkung mit
einem Bericht, eine Jugenderinnerung, die uns zukam: »Vor dem Professor X hatten wir Angst; er war zwar immer besonders mild und gut, aber ganz unerwartet, wenn er einmal zu sehr gereizt wurde,
konnte er vor innerer Empörung bis an die Zähne erblassen und vollkommen die Fassung verlieren. Die Unberechenbarkeit und Plötzlichkeit seines Affektes war es, die uns erschreckte. Wir fürchteten uns
vor nichts so sehr, als daß er losgehen könnte; auch den Direktor fürchteten wir; das war ein Mann, ›der durch dick und dünn ging‹« (vgl.: »der kennt nichts«!).

As children would call someone who was creepy a creep.  That was some time ago, however.  I don't know whether there's a different term children use now, or whether they're even allowed to call each other names any more.  I think that schools are stricter now about telling children not to call each other "stupid" or "stinky" or "creep" or "loser" or "fatso", etc.

I was thinking more of children calling an adult "ein Unheimlicher" - a creepy and potentially dangerous guy roaming about. But at the end of the spectrum we get someone like Professor X who might lose his temper and thereby become unpredictable and therefore dangerous.

Here is my translation as it stands at present:
For those people whom they do not trust we have found among children in Vienna the characteristic expression Ein Unheimlicher [“a creepy guy”]. “He stops for nothing,” they say. One may compare this remark with a reported memory from someone’s youth that we received: “We were afraid of Professor X; he was, to be sure, especially mild-mannered and good, but unpredictably rash once he got very agitated, as he could grow pale as a ghost from inner disgust and totally lose his composure. The unpredictability and suddenness of his rage frightened us. We were most scared that he would fly off the handle. We were also scared of the director; that was a man ‘who went his way recklessly’” (cf. “he stops for nothing”!).

Thanks for the explanation. What puzzled me is the geht durch dick und dünn. I only know this as a expression for someone who is capable to master the challenges of life and, if needed, helps a friend in need. Your interpretation is either false memory, or that expression really does have a different meaning for children in Vienna.

Der kennt nichts I also remember from childhood. Its meaning then was "he has no scruples." A child might say "he doesn't care about anything" or, in a child's beloved double negative, "he don't care about nothing."

When the passive participle is used as substantivized adjective in combination with "the", does it alway refer to many persons or can also be used to indicate just one person.

That's the funny thing about it. If such participle stands alone, for example in a book tite or movie title or as a Twitter username, I think native speakers would percieve it as a plural. But there are cases as timlefe has pointed out where it is used in singular, but is seems there must be some context attached to it in order to be percieved as a singular.

If one copies a word from another source, the source encoding may be other than what dict.cc uses or recognizes.  Specifically the code used for the accented letters differs, depending upon the character set used.  This has happened to me before. The page we are reading uses UTF-8, and I would guess that all the dict.cc pages involved in DE<> EN use the same.  However other sources may use a different character set.  If you are interested, you can sometimes determine the character set used on a particular page by selecting the developer option of your browser and examining the page source code.  As far as finding a dictionary entry, it's worth typing it in yourself if it contains accents and you think it should already be in the dictionary.

mussten oder müssen » answer

Eine Umfrage in einer Broschüre (Print), es wird nach negativen Eigenschaften gefragt.

1. Ihre Mitarbeiter haben keine klare Aufgabenteilung. (trifft zu / trifft nicht zu)
2. usw...

Je nachdem, wie viele Fragen Sie mit "trifft zu" beantworten müssen/mussten, raten wir ...

---

Jetzt kommt meine Frage: müssen oder mussten?

Obwohl der Text "Je nachdem" erst nach dem Fragebogen steht (sogar auf der nächsten Seite rechts), würde ich "müssen" schreiben. Denn niemand musste den Prozess durchlaufen, die Fragen auszufüllen. "mussten" bezieht sich eher auf den handwerklichen Prozess des Ausfüllens, der freiwillig ist. "müssen" bezieht sich hingegen auf die Fragen, die unabhängig vom Check noch im Raum stehen und somit immer noch beantwortet werden müssen. Demzufolge wäre das meine Empfehlung.

Seht ihr da einen Bedeutungsunterschied, so wie ich? Ich formuliere es vermutlich so oder so (eigenständig) um, hier ist keine Hilfe notwendig. Aber die die Antwort auf meine konkrete Frage interessiert mich dennoch. Vielen Dank!

Es wird niemand gezwungen, eine Frage in bestimmter Weise zu beantworten. Insofern ist "müssen" hier in jeder Zeitform fehl am Platz.

All she said and did in the moments she spent in our presence seemed to me then - seems to me now - past portrayal

Ausgehend vom Beispiel "Es war ein schönes Erlebnis, mal wieder einen Kuckuck zu hören" möchte ich mal anfragen, was am ehesten den dt. Begriff abdeckt. Adventure passt IMHO nicht, auch experience nicht so ganz. Da schwingt mir zuviel "Erfahrung" und "Routine" mit. Vielleicht irgendwas, das von "to witness" abgeleitet ist? Oder von "to perceive"?
Answer:
Experience passt am besten  #943226
