It would be "kein", or a variant thereof, to say "no times", although "no times" is grammatically incorrect in both languages. For a translation of the film, Bueller's nine-time absence would be "neunmal". Here ends your visit from the Grammar Nazi. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard in Germany that film is actually in the 'fantasy' genre, because no-one has ever skipped school. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To continue along the pedantic road that you've set out upon, wouldn't your corrections technically make you a syntax Nazi rather than a grammar Nazi? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 it's pretty much the same these days, except it's in a lorry park outside Peterborough and you have to wait your turn and be careful not to get other people's mess on your Adidas Sambas.
