Wie schreiben es die deutschen Medien bitte? Sich selbst isolieren, sich selbsisolieren oder nur sich isolieren ohne das "selbst" oder selbstisolieren ohne das "sich" (der Kandidat selbstisoliert und bleibt zu Hause)? | ||

"Sich selbst isolieren" schreiben sie gar nicht. Das bezeichnet ein unfreiwilliges psychologisches Phänomen. | ||

Frage: | "bezogen auf (datum)" | » antworten |
Hi, all, This is from court documents for a divorce. I'm stuck on "bezogen auf den 31. Dez. 2002." Is it "Dating back to?" or "Starting on?" Here, the original context: "II. Vom Konto Nr. --- der Frau --- bei der Landesversicherungsanstalt Westfalen in Munster werden auf das Konto Nr. --- des Herrn --- ebenda Rentenanwartschaften von monatlich --- €, bezogen auf den 31. Dez. 2002 übertragen. Die zu übertragenden Anwartschaften sind in Entgeltpunkte umzurechnen." Thanks for any help. Kate | ||

Frage: | genervt | » antworten |
Guten Tag! "Ich bin genervt, daß ich immer wieder nach diesem Thema gefragt werde." Wie ist "genervt" hier am besten zu übersetzen, wenn es nicht beleidigend klingen soll? Der Satz wird zu jemand gesagt, mit dem man redet, ohne immer ganz ausgesucht höflich zu sein und ohne ein Blatt vor den Mund zu nehmen. Es soll aber auf keinen Fall als "ich bin verärgert", "es kotzt mich an" oder so verstanden werden können. Vielen Dank! | ||
Antwort: | #920114 | |
I am upset ..... | ||
Antwort: | #920115 | |
or if it's more like frustrated ?! | ||
Antwort: | #920117 | |
Vielen Dank. Bei "upset" steht im Wörterbuch aber gerade als erstes "verärgert", paßt das wirklich? Nein, "frustrated" nicht. "Ich bin genervt" oder "ich finde es lästig", aber eben nicht so lästig, daß ich böse darüber bin oder daß der andere auf gar keinen Fall mehr ein Wort darüber zu mir sagen darf... | ||

It's a bit frustrating/annoying/irritating to be asked about this all the time. | ||
Chat: | #920120 | |
für mich ist annoyed stärker als upset ..... great suggestion from Lllama ..... or I am a bit ..... | ||
Antwort: | #920121 | |
4;sfl, for me "upset" involves more emotion and greater distress or sadness (although to some extent it depends on the context). Someone who's annoyed is unlikely to cry. Someone who's upset might cry. Like Lllama, I associate the state of being "genervt" with being annoyed or irritated. I didn't realise "genervt" was milder than straight-out annoyance. I use the word "annoying" a lot in English, and have more of a tendency to strengthen it "it's so annoying..." than to weaken it "it's a bit annoying...". I don't associate it with any huge emotional state, more with the state of considering something or someone's behaviour irritating and wishing they'd stop it/it would stop. | ||
Antwort: | #920122 | |
Sometimes a colloquial exaggeration will take away the seriousness, but still get the point across. It's beginning to drive me crazy to be asked about this subject over and over again, but I suppose there's not much I can do about it or something like that. | ||
Antwort: | I agree with Windfall that upset isn't the same as genervt, | #920123 |
and to combine the last two posts, saying so annoyed/ing could be seen as colloquial exaggeration: you might only be slightly annoyed, but still say it's so annyoing ;-) | ||
Antwort: | #920124 | |
Agree with Lllama and really like the "it's so annoying..." The "so" makes it come across as a sigh of exasperation that should elicit sympathy. | ||
Chat: | #920128 | |
Yes, I do agree. "upset" involves more emotion ...." and that's the reason for me here; annoyance/being annoyed is "projected" ??! being upset, that's my feeling .... I use the word annoyed a lot as well, so I do not say p o ..... ;-)) | ||
Antwort: | #920129 | |
4;sfl, I don't get upset when people are being annoying; I get annoyed. I get upset when I'm bullied or people are mean to me or something awful happens. | ||
Antwort: | I'm (certainly) not amused by being asked about this issue again and again / time and time again | #920132 |
Antwort: | #920139 | |
Part of the reason why "it's so annoying" is a good choice is the fact that it's only a general observation, not a personal gripe. The reader infers the personal gripe, but is not confronted with it. "It's so upsetting / so frustrating / so distressing" and similar would work like that as well, of course. | ||

vielleicht eine Variante von 'genug haben von (etwas)' - to be tired of, ...? Im Deutschen würde man es sagen, wenn man etwas genervt ist, es muss aber nicht gleich unfreundlich klingen. dict.cc: genug haben von | ||
Antwort: | #920143 | |
A lot of people on this thread are trying really hard to avoid "annoyed" or "annoying" to translate "genervt". Where would you use "annoyed" or "annoying"? And what makes it sound like such a poor match for "genervt" to you? | ||
Chat: | #920145 | |
genervt is very colloquial and a bit out of fashion. In my youth we used it. But it implies the idea of a kind of weakness on your side. You are suffering from your Genervtsein. It used to be the vague expression of the general state of dissatisfaction in adolescence. People (parents and the like) used to be annoyed by youngsters using "genervt". Young people used to be 'genervt' to denote their dissatisfaction, ignoring the fact that there should be a reason for being "genervt". | ||
Antwort: | #920146 | |
Thanks, hausamsee. In that case, I'm strongly against "upset", "not amused" and "displeased" and I'm really not keen on "am tired of". If you need something dated or old-fashioned, I can recommend "It's well annoying" or "it gets my goat". Adding "well" in this context is very 1990s, and I haven't heard anyone do it in years. You might be able to achieve an early 2000s effect by replacing "well" with "totally". You can also achieve a dated effect with "bums me out". Here the sentence would be "Being asked about this all the time bums me out". I haven't heard that in years either, so I'd say it's very dated and probably more typicsl of US than UK usage (although I think calling something a "bummer" may still be in current usage). "It gets my goat" is simply something I find it difficult to imagine a younger person saying in the UK, making it probably old-fashioned or indicative of an older speaker. | ||

it´s more affectively. When you are verärgert (annoyed) you want to male clear that you are referring to this special fact or state of affairs. Of course, only native speakers can decide. | ||
Antwort: | #920153 | |
I don't think we have words that diffentiate between verärgern and nerven. Both refer to annoying. "Annoy", "annoyed" and "annoying" probably need translating differently into German depending on context. We do have "get on my nerves", which I think covers some forms of nerven, but that doesn't feel right to me here and is stronger than "annoy". For colloquial but not dated, we could say "it's a pain in the neck", but that's stronger and ruder than annoying. One of the politest ways I can think of putting it is "It's a bit of a pain for me that people keep asking me about the same thing". Lllama's "a bit" makes the whole sentence milder and politer | ||
Antwort: | #920154 | |
I disagree on the assertion that "genervt sein" is dated. It may not be teenage speak, but otherwise it's standard speech. However, you wouldn't say "Ich bin genervt, dass ...", but rather " Es nervt mich, dass". "Genervt sein" is a much more general state of mind: Mutti ist genervt, weil Vati immer so fertig ist. Und die Kinder sind natürlich auch voll genervt, weil Vati so nervt und die Pubertät ja auch irgendwie nervt. https://books.google.de/books?id=SlWRDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA180&lpg=... | ||
Antwort: | #920155 | |
ja, stimmt, Proofreader, es ist nicht wiklich outdated oder auf Jugendlichensprache der 80er beschränkt. Es ist einfach nur relativ primitiv. - Ich wollte nur Beispiele dafür geben, dass 'genervt' oft sehr unspezifisch benutzt wird (wollte gerade einen entsprechenden Kommentar schreiben, weil ich befürchtete, dass ich Windfall etwas in die Irre geführt habe). Anders gesagt, 'genervt' ist nicht besonders gutes Deutsch. Diese etwas konservative Idee, dass sprachliche Ausdrücke tatsächlich auch etwas bedeuten sollten. Mit ""Genervt sein" is a much more general state of mind : ..." kann ich mich gut anfreunden. | ||
Antwort: | #920159 | |
How about "stressed out"? You wouldn't use it in formal English, and it could be considered a general state of mind. You could say "I'm stressed out because I keep getting asked about this all the time" or "it's stressing me out to keep getting asked about this all the time" (I prefer the second sentence). | ||

Dear all, How would you translate § 4 BERICHTSWESEN, BEWERTUNG, VERGLEICHSGRÖßEN benchmarks, references, comparative figures? cf: Dieser Bericht enthält unter anderem auch Einzelangaben zu den gehaltenen Finanzinstrumenten, den Gesamtbetrag der im Berichtszeitraum angefallenen Gebühren und Entgelte sowie eine Gegenüberstellung der Mandatsrendite mit der Wertentwicklung verschiedener Wertpapierindizes (Vergleichsgrößen). This report contains, inter alia, details of the financial instruments held, the total amount of fees and charges incurred during the reporting period and a comparison of the return on the mandate with the performance of various securities indices (benchmarks / references?). | ||
Antwort: | Benchmarks | #920126 |
I get the impression you're particularly interested in the term "Vergleichsgrößen" here. I think I would translate it as "benchmarks" and therefore the text as follows: SECTION 4 REPORTING, MEASUREMENT, BENCHMARKS This report contains, inter alia, details of the financial instruments held, the total amount of fees and charges incurred during the period under review and a comparison of the return on the mandate with the performance of various securities indices (benchmarks). The relevant definition of "benchmark" in English is "A benchmark is something whose quality or quantity is known and which can therefore be used as a standard with which other things can be compared." Because of the type of comparison (i.e. to the performance of others or a relevant sector rather than last year's figures), I think "benchmarks" is appropriate here. | ||

Frage: | cordial vs. amiable | » antworten |
"He shook my hand, but not warmly; he was cordial, but not amiable" What is the difference between cordial and amiable? | ||
Antwort: | https://wikidiff.com/content/cordial-vs-amiable-whats-difference-0 | #920106 |
Antwort: | #920125 | |
This doesn't make sense based on dictionary definitions, but I get the impression the author intends "cordial but not amiable" to mean the man was polite but not friendly. This impression is backed up by the phrase "but not warmly" about the handshake ("warmly" here refers to friendliness). As this doesn't match dictionary definitions, you might want to wait and see whether other native English speakers agree with me or whether they think I have a false impression. | ||
Chat: | #920138 | |
Thank you both | ||
Antwort: | Dictionaries treat amiable and cordial as synonyms. Yet they carry different shades of meaning based on their respective etymologies. | #920163 |
cordial Origin Middle English (also in the sense ‘belonging to the heart’): from medieval Latin cordialis, from Latin cor, cord- ‘heart’. https://www.lexico.com/definition/cordial amiable Origin Late Middle English (originally in the senses ‘kind’, and ‘lovely, lovable’): via Old French from late Latin amicabilis ‘amicable’. The current sense, influenced by modern French aimable ‘trying to please’, dates from the mid 18th century. https://www.lexico.com/definition/amiable | ||
