German
 
Who can speak german?

"lso, ich komme aus Deutschland, und spreche daher auch besser deutsch als englisch. Das liegt wohl daran, das ich hier wohne!:fuzwink:"

Joshy 08-11-2003 05:12 AM

Not me...

GrigtheSlig 08-11-2003 06:10 AM

I don't know anyone that can speak German on the forums, sorry.

Leto 08-11-2003 06:40 AM

To be short, No.

What does your little sentence mean in English?

Wil 08-11-2003 08:35 PM

My German is ubersucky, and I could be giving it up for GCSEs. As far as i could translate, Oddys's sentence reads:

"Now, I come from Germany, and I speak somthing better German than English. That lays (as in 'is positioned') something something, that I live here."

Wohl might be 'though', as in obwohl (although).

Bring Sligslinger in, he speaks most languages...

I can't do the big b thing so will do double s and I can't remember how to spell a lot of it but:
Grussgott. Ich heissa Facsimile. Ich wohne in Noizeeland in der Nahe von Australia (germ sp?). Ich bin funfzehn yahre alt und habe eine Schwester. Ich auch habe eine Catze und zwei Kaninchen. Ich gehe gern ins Kino.

Hello. My name's Facsimile. I live in New Zealand which is near Australia. I am fifteen years old and have one sister. I have one cat and two rabbits. I like going to the movies.

I am doing German in school this half year.

Majic 08-14-2003 12:43 PM

Gah! I wanted to take German this year in school, but noooooo, I got put into stupid French. ...Curses... I feel so dirty.

Facsimile 08-15-2003 10:39 PM

Hahaha. French.

Mac the Janitor 08-15-2003 11:35 PM

I feel your pain, Majic. I too am in French, as it's required to have Foreign Language credits for your high school diploma.

Yesterday was my first day, and my French teacher didn't say one word in English for a whole half hour...

Is there any way to treat such hefty emotional trauma?

I suggest considering suicide...it solves everything.

How ironic... I'm making a mock-enlistment poster for an art project, and I want the text to be in German. I was wondering if someone could translate this for me...

The Black Gaurd*

Become the social misfit you have always dreamed of being. Enlist today!

*The word for police, secret police, or military police in place of "gaurd" would be just as nifty.

Facsimile 08-21-2003 08:36 AM

Use the Altavista translator. You can type in the whole thing.

SeaRex 08-22-2003 12:37 AM

Super nifty. Thanks for the tip Fax, I appreciate it.

Majic 08-22-2003 12:40 AM

You might also want to do some translation cross checking, if needed. Try like freetranslations.com or something. Or, just go and ask your high school German teacher:-p

I thought about that... but I really don't want to learn anything. :D

EDIT: Whoo yay.

Das Schwarze Gaurd

Werden das Sozialpassende Stück, das Sie immer vom Sein geträumt haben. Tragen Sie heute ein!

Majic 08-22-2003 01:08 AM

That was assuming that accuracy mattered. If not, hell, no one will know the difference.

I learn it at school. I'm schizor at it.

Al the Vykker 12-25-2003 04:12 AM

Well, Ive got a lot of German heritage, and almost half German. But I do not speak any German at all. Perhaps I should take it next year.

CarboN 12-25-2003 07:06 PM

I speak german... somehow good...
I'm best in my class, but still bad in it :D
