Another question about “ausgerechnet” (not sure if you missed the other one).
Robert Habeck bietet auf der COP Mini-Summen an. Und ausgerechnet der Globale Süden soll ohne Klimageld auskommen.
How would you translate this sense of ausgerechnet?
“and the global South, of all places, ….”
I was thinking “ausgerechnet” would be “calculated”. As in “The way he approached advancing his own career was extremely calculated and manipulative”
And thats what i thought when I read this:
Drei Jahre nach ihrem Start als “Fortshrittskoalition” und mit fröhlichen Selfies ist die Ampel Geschichte , ob das erst – oder ausgerechnet jetzt passiert ist”
Then i looked up the definition of ausgerechnet and its not what i assumed.
I don’t really understand “ob erst- oder ausgerechnet” if it means “of all things now”
I’m guessing an opposition is not being set up between “erst” and “ausgerechnet” AND its more that the author is expressing an idea that maybe things were already so bad it was efffectively already history (erst) and “of all things now” relating to the us election.
What do you think?
