Usage examples of "von ferne" in German with translation to English

Ein seltsames deutsches Wort ist "entfernen", denn die Vorsilbe "ent-" bedeutet, dass man etwas fortnimmt, in diesem Fall also die Ferne fortnimmt, sich also nähert, was aber das genaue Gegenteil der wirklichen Bedeutung von "entfernen" ist. A curious German word is "entfernen" (to put some distance between), because the prefix "ent-" means to take something away, in this case the distance, but taking away the distance would mean to bring it closer which is the exact opposite of what the word "entfernen" means.

What is translation in context on PROMT.One

The “Contexts” section on PROMT.One is your translation-in-context tool that helps you find real examples of how words and phrases are used.

This helps you understand subtle shades of meaning and correct usage in speech, whether it is a rare term or a common everyday phrase.

Millions of usage examples from real texts

Millions of translation examples are collected automatically from already translated texts: documents, websites, books, movie dialogues and more. Thanks to this, you can see a word in different situations — from formal business style to everyday colloquial speech. For convenience, the results can be filtered by a specific translation or topic, and you can also search within the examples found to quickly focus on the context you need.
