clean up

معنی

To make something tidy or spotless.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

The 'Kehrwoche' is a tradition in Swabia where residents are legally or socially required to clean the stairs and sidewalk. If you live there, you will 'sauber machen' every Saturday! Sunday is a 'Ruhetag' (rest day). It is generally frowned upon to 'sauber machen' with a loud vacuum cleaner on Sundays. When moving out of an apartment, it must be 'besenrein' (broom-clean). This means you have to 'sauber machen' to a basic level before handing over the keys.

💡

Separable Logic

Treat it like a separable verb. 'Sauber' always wants to be at the end of the clause.

⚠️

Don't use for 'Doing'

Never use 'sauber machen' for 'doing' homework or tasks. It is strictly for hygiene/cleaning.
