Welcome to my channel German with Nadine
Twins formulas consist of two words of the same part of
speech and are connected by a conjunction or a preposition
They consist either of synonyms antonyms or paired sequences
The twin formulas make the language more vid and expressive
The order of these words is fixed and cannot be rearranged
Let's now examine 10 twin formulas you absolutely
should know including descriptions and examples
Here we go with the first twin formula

something is completely finished or completed
Also "fix and fertig" means someone is extremely exhausted

Brief and to the point
This means keeping information concise and focusing on the essentials

because there is no other choice

office today We'll just have to
