Is this basically the same as “Stellung nehmen”?
Like if i understand it can encompass literally making a statement e.g. a politician made a statement on the scandal (literally spoke about it) or it could be more abstract e.g. wearing a t shirt with a political slogan ?
Actually “Stellung nehmen” is more about making a statement, while “Stellung beziehen” can also have a notion of declaring your point of view/standpoint for the first time. It’s a subtle difference though.
ah , ok, cool thanks Emanuel..!
