My favorite source for the origin of English words.
so this could literally mean the teacher gave out various beers to the students right? But you’ve used “assigned” as a translation which maybe sounds slightly on the formal side for handing out beers (although its not wrong either). So did you mean it could be for an assignment to write about a specific beer?
Or both interpretatiosn work?
Btw spirit beer sounds weird to me. Craft beer is a pretty standard term afaik, I don’t drink craft beers though so i’m no expert ….
It’s more about association or attributing, not really actually giving them the beer. That can ALSO be part of the action going on but it’s not the core of “zuordnen”. That’s the abstract sorting of who gets/is what.
As for “Kraftbier”… that’s a play on words with “Krafttier” which is one German version of the spirit animal. Craftbeer is Craftbier in German as well.
