Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Zum"

A: I don't think this is a real word.

A: US English doesn’t typically refer to vomit in its slang expressions, so the answer to your question could vary. „That sucks“ is a popular expression of disapproval of something that may approximate „zum kotzen“ in an emphatically vulgar manner. A more polite response with a somewhat different meaning is „that’s disgusting“. This is not general disapproval but an expression of revulsion at something that adversely affects one‘s sensibilities. A bad smell might be disgusting and it would suck to have to spend time where there is a bad smell. A bad experience sucks, but it may or may not have been disgusting. „es ist wirklich zum Kosten“ might be translated as „it really sucks“, but „Es sieht zum Kosten aus“ would probably be translated as „it looks disgusting“.

A: Hang the washing out to dry.

A: to fly to the moon
