Examples of using "Formulieren" in a sentence and their english translations:
I wouldn't put it in quite those words.
Could you say that in plain English?
You can't phrase it like that in German.
Can you phrase your answer in an understandable manner?
I don't know how else to put it.
The sentence is correct, however, I would word it differently.
This looks like an attempt at rephrasing a well-known English proverb.
I couldn't have said it better.
- The words are on the tip of my tongue, but I don't quite know how to put what I want to say.

While this is grammatically correct, you wouldn't express it so in the real life, right?
