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.

One-line joke

A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
