German help
 

I've received a bundle of German text that needs some translating. I've tried online translators but they're pretty much shit. I'd be most greatful.

Danke.

Re: German help
 

of course online translators are shit, they are too literal, if you really need it translating, i can probably get it done, but it wont be until tomorrow, and i cant tell you how good it will be (my wife speaks quite good german)

Re: German help
 

Post or PM away. Won't guarantee anything, but I might look into it...
(I'm German btw if someone didn't know)

Re: German help
 

all i know is
du ist ein knallkopf
ich esse deine mutter vor meine fruhstuck
du ist ein kinderschindler

and tbh i dont even know if those are correct:(

Re: German help
 

I ate your mother for breakfast???

What kind of thing is that to say?

Re: German help
 

it was obviously funnier when we were kids studying german, think about it!

Re: German help
 

Speaking of which, I picked up a swiss-german music cd off a travelling tourist the other day.

S'bescht Mundart-Album wo's git (apparently it sold quite well over in swedan)

I haven't got a clue what any of them are singing but it sounds kinda whacky.

Maybe we are coarser here in Norway, but we learned the real swearwords....
Incidentaly I only had 2 weeks of German, after which I was thrown out of class and forced to take second-level French (I hardly spoke a word of it....)

Re: German help
 

My only good memory of learning German was running around Munich shouting 'wir haben das Krieg gewonnen' when on a school trip.

I've mentioned that before i'm sure.

I chose German at school because i refuse to learn French out of principle.

Re: German help
 

Wir haben den Krieg gewonnen ;)

Androme, post it here or pm me - i'll give it a go. Give me good practise for my exam on tuesday.

Re: German help
 

if its not too long post it here

Re: German help
 

I spent about 10 years learning German at school. I can just about say my name, where I live, and name my family etc. Oh, and
mein leiblingsfussballmanshaft* (spelling??) ist <>

Edit:
*writing man shaft on these forums is suicide, I know

Re: German help
 

i thought id post this link here, if any of you should ever need a dictionary:

"Meine Lieblingsfußballmannschaft" :)

Re: German help
 

Lieblingsfussballmannschaft I believe :)

Edit: Ignore me, I was beaten to it and didn't even notice.

Re: German help
 

I ate your mother for breakfast is a fantastic sentence.

I should get back into the german thing again. I much prefer german grammar to french grammar.

Re: German help
 

well it is an elitaire language.

Re: German help
 

well you obviously still dont get it but it implies 'i gnawed at your mothers fadge for breakfast'
clearer now?

Re: German help
 

We all have sex with eachothers mothers here. Is that some kind of taboo where ever you come from?

Re: German help
 

yes, its called not-norway

Re: German help
 

the best place in the world to come from

Re: German help
 

And presumably the last memory?

Re: German help
 

Yes, my most recent memory is from 8 years ago.

A time when a man could be in employ as a clown and not suffer constant duress from society.

Happier times for all i feel :(

Re: German help
 

the person who knocked a measly 4:: German help 12 Jun 2005 21:57 i might be blind but where are these texts???

I had it kindly translated and I thanked them already in a PM lol

Re: German help
 

The only German I know is what you read in those "Commando" war magazines, and Sven Hassel books.
"Pig dog!"
"Thunder and lightening!"
"My god!"
"Faster! faster!"
"No"

Re: German help
 

i know the words 'heil'
'ja'
and 'achtung'



i could pass for a german any day.

Re: German help
 

From Playing Commandos (the PC Game) i also picked up the ever-useful phrase 'ein ka-lester' (no idea what the exact word is but i think it means 'a dead man').

That turned some heads when the exchange students came over aswell.

My god we were funny :(

Re: German help
 

what you mean is 'ein verletzte'.

(verletzt = injured)

Re: German help
 

heh

\0/ for mobos with onboard sound (and my hearing).

Re: German help
 

You forgot

"Look out! Spitfire!"

Re: German help
 

or "God in Heaven! Englishman!"

Re: German help
 

"Ze American!"

Re: German help
 

Well, it actually means "I eat your mother before my breakfast"

("Ich esse Deine Mutter vor meinem Frühstück")

vor = before
für = for

What you mean is "Ich esse Deine Mutter zum Frühstück"

:up:

(I'm Swiss btw).
