Understanding use of "conocer" and "saber" in "knowing someone" So... I'm trying to understand different nuances of "knowing someone" and when to use "conocer" vs. "saber". Please review text below and tell me what I got right and what needs improvement. Simplest situation: Do you know Juan Gabriel? (i.e. do you know him personally?) - ¿Conoces a Juan Gabriel? But... what if I don't expect that you know him personally? What if I'm just trying to find out if you have ever heard of him? That is, do you know that he is the most famous Mexican singer? Do you know his songs? Do you know who Juan Gabriel is? - ¿Sabes quién es Juan Gabriel? (from Google Translate) Or... is "conocer" still better here? ¿Conoces el cantador mexicano, Juan Gabriel? Finally, let's forget Juan Gabriel the singer. Imagine there's a bunch of children in a classroom and you want to know which one is Juan Gabriel. How would you ask this? Do you know which (child) is Juan Gabriel? - ¿Sabes cuál es Juan Gabriel? (from Google Translate) But... my instinct is to say ¿Sabes lo quién es Juan Gabriel?

How to translate "Man weise Vorwürfe der Diskriminierung zurück und distanziere sich von Rassismus." The sentence comes from an article in Die Welt about an incident at KFC Berlin... "Der Verantwortliche vor Ort habe mehrmals versucht, mit den Personen zu sprechen und die Situation friedlich zu klären. „Nach vergeblichen Schlichtungsversuchen sah er sich gezwungen, zum Schutz der Mitarbeiter und der Gäste die Polizei zu verständigen.“ Man weise Vorwürfe der Diskriminierung zurück und distanziere sich von Rassismus. Die Berliner Polizei bestätigt den Eingang eines Notrufs „wegen einer randalierenden Person“. Darüber hinaus gab es keine Informationen." My memory is shaky as to usage of the word "man". I think the right translation of the sentence is "He (der Verantwortliche vor Ort) rejected the allegations of discrimination and distanced himself from racism." Do you agree? If not, please explain how I have gotten it wrong. Thank you.

need help understanding this phrase "dass sie ihr Essen schließlich bezahlt hätten" This comes from a news article about a group of British tourists who were expelled from a KFC restaurant. The phrase can be found in this paragraph: Die drei Frauen und vier Männer, bei denen es sich um dunkelhäutige Briten handelt, bleiben ruhig, fragen aber mit einigem Nachdruck nach dem Grund für den Rauswurf. Der Hinweis darauf, dass sie ihr Essen schließlich bezahlt hätten, hilft nichts: Wenige Minuten später stehen die Gäste vor der Tür und diskutieren mit den Beamten. „Die kriegen alle ‘ne Anzeige!“, ruft ein Polizist What exactly is the Hinweis (suggestion) that doesn't help? "that their food is fully paid for"? "paid for by whom"? By the restaurant? I think there is an implication that the KFC restaurant manager offered to give the group the food they ordered for free in compensation for their expulsion from the restaurant. Have I understood this correctly? I can't make sense of the sentence otherwise. Why would payment for the food be relevant to the situation?

How to translate "Anzeige kriegen" in "„Die kriegen alle ‘ne Anzeige!“, ruft ein Polizist." The sentence is from a news article in Die Welt. This is the paragraph that the sentence was found in.. Die drei Frauen und vier Männer, bei denen es sich um dunkelhäutige Briten handelt, bleiben ruhig, fragen aber mit einigem Nachdruck nach dem Grund für den Rauswurf. Der Hinweis darauf, dass sie ihr Essen schließlich bezahlt hätten, hilft nichts: Wenige Minuten später stehen die Gäste vor der Tür und diskutieren mit den Beamten. „Die kriegen alle ‘ne Anzeige!“, ruft ein Polizist. I know approximately the meaning of the sentence but I would like to understand the specific meaning of "Anzeige kriegen". I think the English equivalent is "you will get a summons" or "you will get a citation". Thank you for your help!
