Examples from the Internet (not verified by PONS Editors)

I was with a few of my mates, it was scorching hot and instead of going skateboarding, we thought we ’d go and lounge in the sun, play beach volley with some babes, and quaff a few thirst-quenching “ cold ones ”.

After sun set we had a drink or two and then decided to stay put, and taste the legendary “puntine” (which, to the uninitiated among you, are spare ribs).

Nach Sonnenuntergang :

Ein kleiner Aperitif und danach wollten wir uns unbedingt die sagenhaften “Puntine” schmecken lassen (sollte es jemand nicht wissen - das sind Rippchen).
