"Ohne weiteres" is an idiom meaning "easily"?

    Thank you. I find it almost impossible to figure out an idiom on my own, so I particularly appreciate the explanation. An implied "problems" changes everything and makes it make sense.

      Try Pons. They usually list such idioms. http://is.gd/mUBOA4

      Can "bei X schlafen" also mean "have sex with X" in German, or does it only have the literal meaning?

        No, that would be 'mit X schlafen'.

          This is the second idiom I've come across that concerned "weitere." The last was "ein weitere," meaning another. Interesting.
