Presenting your work at the office: Answering questions after the presentation

💬 daran stands in for an dem Projekt "on the project", because arbeiten an is how German says "work on". Germans use da- plus the preposition instead of saying "it": darüber "about it", damit "with it".

💬 zu plus a number ending in -t tells how many are in a group. Swap the number for zu zweit "two of us" or zu dritt "three of us".

💬 German says "in the team" where English says "on the team". Im is short for in dem.

💬 German says "have time" with no article, unlike English "have the time". This is the standard way to ask if someone is available: Hast du morgen Zeit? "Are you free tomorrow?"

💬 German looks "into" a calendar. Because that's a direction, in makes mein become meinen.

💬 Ihnen already means "to you", so German needs no separate word for "to". The same happens in Ich helfe Ihnen "I'll help you".

🇩🇪 This is a polite, noncommittal way to defer a scheduling request. In a German office, though, people expect you to actually follow up by email, usually within a day or two.

💬 Vielen ends in -en because it is short for Ich sage vielen Dank "I say many thanks". This is why you never say viel Dank.

🇩🇪 This is the standard way to close the Q&A after a presentation. It signals clearly that you're wrapping up.

🇩🇪 Gern or Gerne is the everyday reply to thanks among colleagues. It is warmer and more casual than Bitte schön.

💬 toll gets an -e because Präsentation is a feminine word. The same happens in tolle Idee "great idea".

🇩🇪 Germans tend to be sparing with praise at work, so a compliment like this is meant sincerely. A simple Danke schön! is the right response, with no need to downplay it.
