Zeitlicher Rahmen für die Abschlussarbeit: Ab 4 Monaten
What is the meaning of Zeitlicher here?
“Rahmen” is a frame and the “zeitliche Rahmen” is the time-frame.
You could translate it as “in terms of time” in other contexts.
– Ich bin zeitlich ziemlich unflexibel.
– I’m quite inflexible in terms of time.
Does that help?
ahh ok
yes that helps
Danke
i was just at the supermarket at the train station doing a big shop and the guy behind me had one thing and i asked him if he wanted to go in front and he declined the offer – he said something that I kind of understood that he had to kill some time or hang around anyway. The verb he used was i think something that began ver maybe verk – it wasn’t verbringen
“verplempern” or “verschwenden” maybe?
could have been verplmpern as i know verschwenden already and the word he used was an entirely new word for me.
I already heard of ‘rumkriegen’ for killing time, but is there another way or a better way?
While at that, is there an idiomatic way of sayin “kill hunger”? This is more related to portuguese than english, but it’s used in the sense of “This couldn’t even kill my hunger”… Is there something similar to that in germam?
“Zeit totschlagen” is also an option, they’re both idiomatic to me.
As for “Hunger” – that is usually “gestillt”, but I think here it depends a bit on the context what I would it.
