Just checking this sounds correct: Einfrieren ist ein Prozess, wobei Wasser zu Eis wird
“bei dem” is much better.
Relative pronouns with a concrete target tend to not be “wo-worded”.
– Das, wovon ich dir erzählt habe, ist geheim.
– That which I told you about….
– Die Sache, von der ich….
– The thing I told you about…
ok, so its more a less a standard wo+preposition combination like worauf, worüber, wofür etc. For some reason I thought it might be some kind of special exception…
Regarding wobei, this came up in the AI example generator:
Wobei hast du dich verletzt?
How did you get injured?
Can you explain the ‘how’ translation please.
thanks.
It’s “bei” in the sense of “while doing an activity”
– Ich gucke beim Essen oft Youtube.
– Ich habe mich beim Abwaschen verletzt.
It’s common in combination with “verletzen” as that often happens while doing something. That’s where the “wobei” comes from. Hope that helps!
