What would be the most natural way to translate the following to German:




I have assigned you to group 1. / I have placed you in group 1.




Basically there are several groups of people and someone has requested to be placed in a specific group.



Is "zuweisen" the correct translation of "assign" in this context, as in Ich habe Ihnen der Gruppe 1 zugewiesen? Or is some variant of "zuteilen" more appropriate here?

    You asked for the most natural in translating the phrases. If you meant the most natural way of saying it to someone, it would simply be "Du bist in Gruppe 1." or "Sie sind in Gruppe 1."

    @Javatasse thanks! I wanted to convey the fact that some action has taken place, not just the result of the action. That's why I didn't like the options you suggest and tried to think of something else.

"Zuweisen" and "zuteilen" are both correct in this context.



So you can either say




Ich habe Sie der Gruppe 1 zugewiesen.




or




Ich habe Sie der Gruppe 1 zugeteilt.

Long meetings (6-7 hours a day): Being “babysat” by supervisor

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP .everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0; up vote 31 down vote favorite 4 I hold a PhD in mechanical engineering with a 7 year background in self-guided, self-paced research including 2 years as a graduate level course instructor and a subject matter expert for various engineering projects in a university setting in the United States. For the last 10-11 months, I am working in a research industry in France where my task is to debug C++ spaghetti code written over a period of several years by my current supervisor. It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code. My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day.

Confectionery

Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
