Questions & Answers about Diese Ausbildung hat keinen Sinn, weswegen ich meine Träume jetzt verwirkliche.
Why use weswegen here instead of deswegen?
Weswegen translates to "which is why" and acts as a relative connector. Just like weshalb, it refers back to the entire first clause and kicks the conjugated verb (verwirkliche) to the very end of its own clause. Deswegen means "therefore" and is a main-clause adverb. If you used deswegen, you would need a new main clause with the verb in the second position: ...Sinn, deswegen verwirkliche ich...
What is the difference between Ausbildung and general education?
While often translated as education, Ausbildung specifically refers to vocational training, an apprenticeship, or a structured training program for a specific job. General academic schooling is usually called Bildung, and a university education is a Studium.
Is it better to say hat keinen Sinn or macht keinen Sinn?
Sinn haben (to have meaning or a point) or sinnlos sein (to be pointless) are the traditional, formally correct ways to say something makes no sense in German. The phrase Sinn machen is a direct translation from English. While Sinn machen is widely used in spoken German today, Sinn haben is still preferred in formal writing.
Is the prefix in the verb verwirklichen separable?
No, verwirklichen (to realize, to make real) starts with the inseparable prefix ver-. Inseparable prefixes stay permanently attached to the verb in all tenses and sentence positions. Because it is inseparable, its past participle is verwirklicht without an added ge-.
Could I put the time word jetzt before the object meine Träume?
Yes, ...weswegen ich jetzt meine Träume verwirkliche is also perfectly correct. Placing the time adverb (jetzt) before the object follows the standard rule for neutral word order. Putting jetzt after the object, as seen in this sentence, simply puts a slight conversational emphasis on the object itself.
