Betrag - Amount

While the literal translation of betrag is total, sum, amount in that sense, I’ll use some amount of clever trickery and alternative English meanings here. Yeah. I’m that big and clever. So clever I’ve just managed to use the word clever four times in the space of twenty-three words. And word or words five times in twenty-seven up to and including this word. Suffice it to say, I’m devoid of synonyms. Or just that no alternatives exist for those particular combinations of letters. If that’s the story I’m sticking to, clearly I’m never going to amount to very much at all!
