German term
Argumente
"Wir haben die Argumente dafür?" Wie würde man das im Amerikanischen Englisch sagen?
Winterwandern
Die Winterwanderung vom "Berghorn" bis in die "Wachau" ist der längste und attraktivste Winterwanderweg auf dem "Berghorn".
Begeistern Sie Ihre Kinder für diese Winterwanderung.
***Wir haben die Argumente dafür***:
Nirgends sonst ist die Aussicht auf Großglockner, Montblanc und Matterhorn so grandios wie vom "Berghorn".
Machen Sie einen Wettbewerb daraus: wer die Namen kennt, bestimmt das Menü zum Abendessen.

Non-PRO (1): Chris Pr
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Here's a source with similar language:

This works very well. |

: Exactly - this slightly freer approach is precisely what's called for here! (I'd be tempted to follow this with a colon and then an edited version of the final phrase)

Thanks for these ideas, Jennifer. Yeah no question, we need a freer approach here..

: This is the right idea, but it doesn't work in my opinion, because the second item on the list isn't a reason why they shouldn't miss it.

I think that's a bit pedantic but I'll try to fix it for you: "Here is why your kids shouldn't miss out on this."

"The end customer, being an expert in creating language that needs to flow well, has just chosen us to translate the second part of their marketing website also, upon reviewing our deliverable. All my English is finalized by a native speaker of English, other than English in KudoZ, the forums and emails." https://www.proz.com/kudoz/german-to-english/transport-trans...
The idea is "here are some ways you might persuade them", the implication being that they might be reluctant. Are there other items on the list, or only two?
