2000s: Which German-speaking singer (not band) have you listened to the most?
Hello, Which German-speaking singer did you listen to the most in the 2000s? No "none of these" answers! I have a different survey or poll for men. This is about solo artists from the 2000s, not singers from bands. Eisblume and MIA are bands. Feel free to add if the singer isn't included. Greetings!
Do you have to cite names?

I have the following sentence in which I briefly summarize the plot of a novel for a term paper. “It’s about the young man XY who grew up in XYZ Castle.” XY and XYZ obviously represent names I've taken from the novel. Do I need to add a footnote, or is it sufficient to simply…

School year abroad? Discussion?
Hey I am writing a paper on the topic of discussion in German class 9 As an exercise I have the topic of a school year abroad yes or no could you write me an example for a discussion with claim, justification and example Thank you in advance
I don't want to argue with grammar names. These are common blessings, synonyms. This is more decisive. As if you were looking for it and saying "THIS(es) is a dog". Then you point to a cat and say "DAS is a cat". In THIS joint statement the dog is clearly in the foreground
Now again with grammar, don't read more: It is generally helpful to distinguish between demonstrative articles and demonstrative pronouns. Demonstrative articles are always in front of any noun or a nominal alphrase ( the [beautiful] car ), demonstrative pronouns can independently refer to very different things (persons, objects, facts), even without a concrete reference being present.
“that” is not only a certain article, but can also be a demonstrative pronoun.
This is my parents’ dog.
In this sentence, “that” is a demonstrative pronoun. “This is…” would be possible but sounds less natural.
thanks to
but only that! zb he or she is!
it is possible
In the sense of “this” only “that” is possible.
