Heyo, your question seems a bit unclear. To help people provide the best answer, perhaps you could explain what you mean by "the meaning is not being said", or maybe try to rephrase it a bit or give some more examples of what you mean. peepohappy

Ok what I mean is
""Normalerweise kommt er immer bei mir im goldene Neckar vorbei" translates to

""He usually comes to my place in the golden Neckar"

Immer means always and vorbei means over like the both this words are not in the sentences but in German it's being used

#

I don't get why or how to it's being used u know what I mena

It's "bei jemandem vorbeikommen", i.e. "vorbeikommen" is a separable verb. It means "to look in on someone [for a short visit]". Please note it must be "goldenen". ;)

What about immer was has been said if I can't see it in the English translation "always"

#

"normalerweise... immer..." would translate to something like "always... in the normal course of events", which would have made the translation rather unwieldy/awkward/unidiomatic.

So with this type of sentences should I guess what should and shouldn't be used?
