In general, identifiers can be names, numbers, codes, symbols, or any other designation that helps to distinguish one entity from another. For example:

A person’s name (like “John” or “Twotone”)
A serial number on a product
An IP address in a computer network

stehe kurz vor dem Zusammenbruch

【stehe – “am standing” or “stand”】

This is the first-person singular present tense of the verb “stehen,” which means “to stand.”

【kurz – “short” or “briefly”】

In this context, “kurz” means “close” or “on the verge of.”

【vor – “before” or “in front of”】

This preposition can mean “before” in terms of time or “in front of” in terms of place.

【dem – “the” (dative case)】

This is the dative form of the definite article “der,” used here because of the preposition “vor.”

【Zusammenbruch – “breakdown” or “collapse”】

This noun means a physical or emotional collapse or breakdown.

wegen

The German preposition “wegen” means “because of” or “due to” in English. It is used to indicate the reason or cause for something.

For example:
“wegen des schlechten Wetters” – “because of the bad weather”
“wegen Krankheit” – “due to illness”
