"Reiche Schreibarbeiten" - this one has me confused. It seems

“Reiche Schreibarbeiten” - this one has me confused. It seems to translate as “Rich paperwork” or maybe “Rich written homework”, but I don’t understand the meaning of Reiche/rich here. Does it mean “rewarding paperwork” or “detailed written work”, perhaps?

The full sentence for context is:
“Reiche Schreibarbeiten bei Deinen Freunden zur Korrektur ein, wenn Du magst.”

“reiche … ein” comes from “einreichen”. It is often a bit tricky to figure out these separable verb forms :slight_smile:

In this case it means “to submit”. Submit your writings to your friends for corrections, if you like to.

One thing you need to get used to in German is the strange separable verb. When you see something like ein, an, aus, etc stuck strangely to the end of a string of words, like with ‘ein’ in this case, then it’s probably a separable verb.
