Wortschatz von Twitter 118
In this series I share tweets that helped me learn new words and expressions. Here is one I found in a rather political thread.
Below I include even the verbs I already know. All five go together because they’re all actions by the government. But if you hadn’t read the tweet and had to choose the one that didn’t belong to the group, which one would you pick?
etwas besteuern -- to tax something etwas legalisiern -- to legalize something. etwas regulieren -- to regulate something etwas verbieten -- to forbid something etwas verstaatlichen -- to nationalize something
I like to end my Wortschatz von Twitter posts with a practice sentence. Feel free to correct my German if necessary or to share a sentence of your own!
Mir ist es allzu klar, dass Marihuana bald legalisiert sein wird, nur weil große Konzerne und Regierungen hoffen, den Handelsverkehr stark zu besteuern.
