Move to: be at stake?[edit]

Does this idiom ever occur without the "be"? A translation to German can only be done for the full verb "be at stake" (German: auf dem Spiel stehen) --Zeitlupe 04:41, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it can be used without "be". Like "to have something at stake", or "something lies at stake", or "with my life at stake" and so on. Dart evader 05:36, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
And German auf dem Spiel can be used without stehen, too. For example with sein. Kolmiel (talk) 17:31, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
