The last sentences already address this: "Ich sollte an der Stelle vielleicht auch klar ansagen: Die Politiker, die anderer Lobbyisten vorformulierte Entwürfe übernehmen, sind faule Schufte. Die, die unsere vorformulierten Entwürfe durchwinken, sind wohlinformierte und hochintelligente Ehrenleute!1!!" ;)
- tempestn 5y agoGoogle translate for others curious: "At this point I should perhaps also state clearly: The politicians who adopt other lobbyists' pre-formulated drafts are lazy villains. Those who wave through our pre-formulated drafts are well-informed and highly intelligent people of honor!1!!" Nice.
- Garlef 5y agoI think "scoundrel" is a better translation of "schuft" in this context (over "villain").
- selimthegrim 5y agoTIL winken takes the dative.
- Tainnor 5y ago1) The verb is durchwinken, not winken. Winken doesn't take any arguments except the subject. 2) "Durchwinken" takes an accusative object as in this example.
- iforgotpassword 5y ago1) Jdm. Winken. "Ich winke dir" is valid without "zu", but depending on where you live, unusual. "Ich habe dir gewunken" sounds less strange already.
- selimthegrim 5y agoThanks for the clarity!
- pvitz 5y agoNevertheless, "gewunken" is wrong. The correct conjugation is "gewinkt".
- eska 5y agoIt doesn’t. The verb is “jemanden oder etwas durchwinken” (let someone or something pass through). Akkusativ is jemanden oder etwas. Dativ is jemandem oder etwas.
- selimthegrim 5y agoOk but then why vorformulierte in the first clause
- User23 5y agoAlso that German sense of humor shines through.
