English is in comparison to german largely insufficient.

Let's assume one is watching tv and the power goes out. What happens to the tv? Not switches or turns off. That would imply someone did it. Not goes out like a lamp. It stopped working implies the tv is broken.

We are forced to use our wits. We can say something like the screen went black.

German clearly has a word for this and we don't.

@LukeAlmighty @Someguy ringing? Can you explain the nuance of this word?
