翻译 - 意大利语-德语 - quante strade ripide per buttarsi via quante...

Hello experts

this request had been waiting for so long that I decided to give it a go... By all means reject it if the German is too awful!

Please look the following words up

Soviel (better: Wieviel)
Strassen remember the "Neue Deutsche Rechtschreibung" which says: Nach langem Vokal folgt ein 'ß'
abzusturzen (Ü)
diesem
Geselschaft
sichselb
Aber wenn wir können auswählen wrong word order

dieser Gesellschaft

Uf... Thanks Italo - that's quite a lot! I'm surprised you didn't reject it straightaway!

Can you help me out - why should it be 'dieser' here? I know 'in' can be followed by third or fourth declination but I always have to guess which one

As for the one but last line - would you say 'können' is the right translation?

Thank you!

It's better to use the "Konjuntiv II" könnten

I'll explain you "diesem" later because I have to go now, ok?

I didn't rejected it because I wanted that you learn from that what you did wrong

It's really difficult to explain it in english... but Heidrun could help us here

It is the third case (dative) but "hidden" in a demonstrative pronoun that is feminine. Here you have a list of how it has to be declined.

besser hätte ich es nicht erklären können

but Gesellschaft is neutral isn't it? Does 'dies-' become feminine just to confuse all non-native speakers?
I'm not trying to discuss it as you two obviously know what you're talking about - I just don't understand (so probably would keep on making this mistake)!
Help much appreciated!

das Gesellschaft

Ah! OK, now it makes sense. Thank you!

Oh, I see you've already sorted your problem out. Actually, there shouldn't be any exceptions to this rule, as it is basic grammar. It would be really confusing if a feminine noun would suddenly become masculine regarding the pronoun

That is why I was so confused... I let the Dutch word 'gezelschap' (neutral) confuse me
