Aug 6, 2006 13:57: Steffen Walter changed "Term asked" from "busses" to "Bus"
Non-PRO (1): HarryHedgehog
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations

But what type of 'bus'?

HH has clicked on non-pro. This *probably* means that he sees a one-to-one correlation between 'Bus' and 'bus'. It would be helpful, however, if he would briefly click on 'agree' so that the picture becomes clearer.

An editorial change has converted 'busses' to 'Bus'. I therefore need to change my answer from 'of the bus' to 'bus'. Oh, I've just noticed that this has been posted as a separate answer...
Re 'wecken': 'wake up', 'rouse', 'activate', 'prompt'

Guten Tag Herr Swift! Clearly these ageing eyes did not notice that "of the bus" and "bus" are identical. I might indeed follow your kind and much appreciated prompt when time and pressure of work permit. :)
