Hi Emanuel. In your article ” how to use Mal like a german” you say you will leave”nochmals” to the dictionary. But it doesn’t appear in the dictionary.
What are the differences between noch mal and nochmals please?
did u miss this?
Yes :)
“nochmals” sounds quite formal.
Also, I feel like “nochmals” is only used to talk about what someone is doing, not for questions or commands.
Ah thanks, I’d have guessed nochmals was the more informal, but learning german is full of unexpected plot twists.
Although nochmals sounds formal is “noch mal” also fine in a formal situation too?
I’d say yes.
I don’t think I ever use it, but I might use it if I want to do some formal sounding writing. Like, complaining to customer service that I repeatedly contacted them, that would be an instance.
What happened to your display name, by the way. It looks AWFUL :D
You don’t like it? Then I guess i change it, cus i wanna keep you happy ; ) I thought it would be fun to have a very long name….
I liked the short version better, but hey… it’s YOUR display name! Please don’t change it just because of me, that would be username censorship. I have to live with the discomfort :D.
