Staubsaugen - infinitive form - to vacuum\n\nExample\n\nIch muß meinen Teppich staubsaugen.\nI have to vacuum my carpet\n\nIt might be better to stick with the verb to clean:\n\nIch säubere meinen Teppich mit einem Vakuum\nI clean my carpet with a Vacuum\n\nVacuum is one of those nouns that is used colloquially as a verb like zerox.  In German, it can't be used as a verb per se.

Native German here. The grammatically correct sentence would be:\n\n" Ich glaube, ich bin in ihn verliebt. Und es tut so weh."\n\nThe other answer tried to translate directly, but that will never work, because you cannot translate one saying from one language into another. Languages are structured differently and are working differently.

Bags is what I use\nBeauty (beau,belle, joli) (I teach beginners and they can't get it through their heads that beau/belle are two forms of the same adj.)\nAge: vieux, nouveau, jeune\nGoodness:  bon,mauvais\nSize; grand, petit\nthere are some more that sometimes go in front and sometimes behind (I've read grosses bises as well as un chat gros),but those ten will get you through most beginning level situations)

You can say:\n\n"I disagree" OR "I'm disagreeing"\n\nBasically, English grammar works such that if you use the verb "to be" as a helping verb to indicate a continuous action you *must* use the -ing suffix on your main verb.\n\nOther examples to help you get the idea.\n\nI swim.  I am swimming.\nI run.  I am running.\nI read.  I am reading.\n\nNormally, the verb "to disagree" requires an object.  E.g. "I disagree with [blank]" OR "I am disagreeing with [blank]."  However, if the object is clear from the context it can be omitted.\n\nExample 1:\n\nJoe Schmo:  Cats are stupid.\nJane Schmo: I disagree.\n\nIn this example, it is clear from the context what Jane disagrees with.\n\nExample 2:\nJane Schmo: I am disagreeing with Joe concerning the notion that cats are stupid.\nJohn Suave: Interesting.  Tell me more.\n\nIn this example, Jane must use an object in order to explain the context to John.  And, in the structure of this sentence, the entire phrase following "with" is the object.\n\nThis is a somewhat simplified explanation, but I hope that helps.

It is amazing how many people think bablefish et alia could be a translation help for anything else but single words:\nNow: 'sueppchen' is a diminutive for 'soup', 'auslöffeln' means 'scrape up', but since the original uses idomatic expressions, a translation will have to do the same.\nHere is an attempt:\n"The music I can face or any other challenge ..."

"hace mucho viento"\nyou could use the word "ventoso", but it is not that common, and you would have to describe it with another noun. saying "esta ventoso" (it's windy) is incorrect. you would HAVE to say it is a windy day/night/forest/etc -a noun ("es un dia/noche/bosque/etc ventoso").

I'm Norwegian and would say "Ingen andre enn deg"\n\nThe former answer is a more direct translation of the word. But that's a more formal way of saying it.

I am a native speaker!\n\n"Stirb, du Narr!"  (already given by a previous answerer) is the best translation in my opinion, if you want to preserve the exact meaning of the phrase\n\n"Dummkopf, stirb!", "Stirb, Dummkopf!" and "Stirb, du Dummkopf!" are all similar and could be used. But I think "Dummkopf" is not equally accurate as "Narr". A "Dumkopf" has to be "Dumm" [=stupid], whereas an intelligent man can sometimes be a fool [Narr].\n\nAll expressions with "Sie" are using the plural for politeness. One could think of such expressions, but to me they sound very odd.\n\nThe expressions involving "täuschen" are wrong and probably obtained by using an online translation service.

The phrase your looking for in English is "Suffices to say" with an "s" on suffice.  It is short for "It suffices to say" which means "it is sufficient to say."\n\nFrom the French, "C,a suffit" /Sah, soo FEE'/ = it suffices.

Most verbs can be followed only by an infinite with "to" or an infinitive without "to."  So, you can say "I can go," but not "I can to go."  "Help," however, can be followed by either one.  It is correct to say "helped to harmonize" or "helped harmonize."  It is totally up to you and is a style choice.  If you want to make it consistent and cut words, using "helped harmonize" would be fine.
