Translation of "Forefinger" in German

The policeman beckoned to me with his forefinger.

Der Polizist winkte mich mit dem Zeigefinger herbei.

Tom held the coin between his thumb and forefinger.

Tom hielt die Münze zwischen Daumen und Zeigefinger.

- Hanging on the wall was a picture of Mary, forefinger raised in threat, appearing as though she were reading the onlooker the riot act. The epigraph mounted beneath read: "I'm in charge here!"

An der Wand hing ein Bild von Maria mit drohend erhobenem Zeigefinger, auf dem sie aussah, als lese sie dem Betrachter gerade die Leviten. Darunter war der Schriftzug „Hier bestimme ich!“ angebracht.

Tom stroked his chin thoughtfully. Then, as though struck by a flash of inspiration, he raised his forefinger, sprang from his chair and, speaking with great earnestness, launched himself about the room in meaningful strides before the assembled. "Gentlemen! We are far too complicated in our thinking. We ought to consider the situation from the humble perspective of a squirrel."

Tom fasste sich nachdenklich ans Kinn, dann, wie wenn ihn ein Geistesblitz getroffen hätte, erhob er den Zeigefinger, sprang von seinem Stuhle auf und sprach mit großem Ernst, während er bedeutungsvoll im Zimmer vor den Versammelten einherschritt: „Wir denken viel zu kompliziert, meine Herren. Wir sollten die Situation aus der einfachen Perspektive eines Eichhörnchens betrachten.“
