La prueba de Hosmer-Lemeshow indica que
The Hosmer-Lemeshow test indicates that
Esta es tu frase de referencia cuando presentas hallazgos estadísticos, especialmente en artículos académicos o informes técnicos.

Tiene una vibra de informe objetivo y conclusiones basadas en datos.
Uso: This phrase is exclusively for formal, academic, or highly technical contexts, specifically when reporting the results of the Hosmer-Lemeshow statistical test. Using it in casual conversation or general professional communication would be highly inappropriate and sound unnatural.

cantar una canción
To sing a song
Esta frase trata sobre el acto puro y simple de usar tu voz para crear música. No se trata solo de dar las notas perfectas; se trata de la alegría, el sentimiento o incluso la necesidad de cantar una canción. Piénsalo como la banda sonora de tu vida, ya sea una balada sentida o una melodía tonta que inventaste en el coche.
Uso: The phrase `ein Lied singen` is highly versatile and generally neutral in formality. It's the go-to expression for the act of singing a song in most everyday situations. Avoid using it for instrumental music; stick to verbs like `spielen` for instruments. While common, extremely formal contexts might favor `vortragen` for 'perform'.

To break a promise
Esta frase describe el acto de no hacer algo que garantizaste que harías. Se trata de retractarse de tu palabra, dejando a alguien decepcionado o desanimado después de que confiara en ti. Conlleva una sensación de traición o falta de fiabilidad.
Uso: This phrase is very common and fits most registers, from casual chats to formal reports. Be aware that in German culture, reliability is highly valued, so breaking a promise often carries significant weight and can damage trust more than in some other cultures. Ensure you use the correct verb `brechen`; avoid `machen` or `tun` when referring to the act of breaking a promise.

To play soccer
This phrase describes the act of playing soccer, whether it's a professional match in a stadium or just kicking a ball around with your friends in a local park.
Uso: The phrase is neutral and extremely common. Be careful with verb placement: 'spielen' moves to the end of the sentence if you use a modal verb like 'können' (can) or 'wollen' (want).
