Right, to heavily downvoted german.stackexchange.com question. IMHO, the question is crystal clear. There are verbs which are nearly synonyms or at least their meanings is very close (they all mean "to get" for foreigner). And dictionary doesn't help much. It's a pity that people decided to downvote instead of helping not only the OP, but hundred other people who would have the same question. | |

Besides the Question in question (haha) this Asker posted four other questions around the same time, which received 1, 2, 3 and 6 upvotes, respectively. I see no reason to believe that we chased away a promising contributor. Remember, the closed Q has not been deleted and the Asker may improve it at any time if she or he chooses. | |
| Mar 20, 2013 at 9:12 | comment | added | Takkat Mod | yeah, that's what I was thinking when reading this question. It could have been turned into an interesting discussion on finer points on how or when to use different German synonyms for to receive, to obtain. Instead, we heavily downvoted it, made an incomprehensible comment, and closed it. Why after that should the OP feel motivated to come back in order to improve their question? | |
