Laughed out loud :))

[Kakerlakula]

Ein Augenzwinkern ist so gut wie ein Schubs für eine blinde Fledermaus, oder?

[Claudio123]

Why not she does it?

[HiddenInShadows]

That would be "sie tut es"

[paulma1960]

That's interesting, I haven't seen any other form of the word 'tun', including 'tut'.

[LeoBlackma3]

Es tut mir Leid?

[Morgz6908]

Auf dem Bett?

[joman.cini]

Nah, maybe they're just good friends

What is wrong with translating this as: They do it

[DuoNeedsFixing]

Guess you are right - There are two Present tenses correct: One would be "Sie tun es jeden tag" = "They do it every day" Simple Present tense and the other one we have here is the Present Progressive "Sie tun es (gerade eben)" = "They are doing it"

In german its both the same. Here are no (keywords) in this sentence so both should be accepted.

Oooh er missus!

[Adria_and_Blork]

When do I use Tun and when do I use Machen?

[paulma1960]

They are often interchangeable.

[Adria_and_Blork]

Um, ok. What does that mean?

[paulma1960]

Sie tun es and sie machen es have the same meaning.

[Adria_and_Blork]

OK! Thanks so much! You have no idea how much easier German is for me now! I used to think that they both had the same intent but you had to use them for different situations. Sorry if I have been a little stubborn about believing you, I had to make sure you were 100% right. I believe you now, thanks!

[Adria_and_Blork]

Oh ok. Are you 100% sure?

[paulma1960]

Yes, and meine deutsche Frau confirms it.

[forwardmomentum]

Coitus?

[JefeBezos3]

Genau

[Kornellier]

What is the infinitive for that verb?

[new_svabo]

It is tun,
ich tue, du tust, er tut, wir tun, ihr tut...

[Dieter549064]

Thank you very much for this conjugation of "tun." I have been in need of this complete conjugation for a long time. Vielen Dank!

[Him_j]

Uh huh. Nice.

[Bilgeska]

And why not they make it

[deactivated user]

tun/tut → to do something

machen → to make something

"machen" can be used to describe doing something or making something, but "tun" cannot be used to describe "making something"

Doing it.....lol
