makes me wish I took german in high school. Dang you spanish.
I took four years of German. I still don't speak it. At least I know the title: (95?)
I was born in wiesbaden, germany on a USAF base. i can pick up on a little of it but not much.
I know more norsk than german.
jeg drar til helvete
i'm more than half german and know some of this... of course, what i remember the best are the words my great grandma used to yell and curse at us that dinner was gonna get cold if we didn't sit down at the table immediately... oh, and that my godmother's (ha how 'bout that, godmother) cat was named liebchin.
i am not about to google translate this sir.
Happy reformation day!
I didn't even attempt to read this. I only know a few German words.
I can't read this . . . is it Martin Luther related? Happy Reformation Day!
Well since it is October 31st and since I was trained in the Lutheran church, I had to post the 95 theses because they are very important to me as they should be to all non-Catholic Christians.
I think Spanish is probably a better language to know because you could probably use it more often. I live in an area where there are many Amish communities and they still speak German as their primary language so I get to use it every once in a while when I see those people.
Yes...the 95 theses of Martin Luther. Today is also Reformation Day. I had to translate this in my second year of German. I also had to translate some of Luther's other works. I still vividly remember one sentence in which he told the pope to drop a deuce in his papal hat and then fashion a necktie out of it and of course Luther used the greatest German word, Scheiße
That is cool that you can pick some up. Since today is also Reformation Day, I had to post the 95 theses of Martin Luther because they should be very important to every non-Catholic Christian. I wonder why Revelife isn't mentioning anything about that today. Lucky for you, I know that norsk, there was a great number of norsk speakers where I lived in MN. Actually one of the Lutheran colleges up there offered it as one of their language courses.
I have a majority of German in me and I took German in high school. I also had a great grandmother that even though she was born in America, German was her primary language. I still remember her at family gatherings muttering in German. Now that I have studied the language I realize she had a foul mouth.
That is a nice name your godmother had for her cat. I had a Rottweiler, one good German dog, that was a female so I named her Mädchen.
YES! They are Luther's 95 theses. I hope you had a happy Reformation Day as well!
Say what?
oh mein Gott, ich kann selber nicht alles lesen. Ich wundere mich wie man alles geschrieben hatte, ohne das Man verrückt wird. Wieso hast du heute alles auf Deutsch geschrieben?
thanks for sharing,..........WTF ?
@godfatherofgreenbay - hahaha must be a requirement for german grandmas or something
Diese werden von Martin Luther 95 Thesen. 31. Oktober ist Reformationstag für diejenigen, die nicht katholisch sind. Ich schreibe diese nicht aus dem Gedächtnis. Ich habe diese Übersetzung für eine deutsche Klasse in der High School.
I can still remember her screaming about how our church was bound for hell because we no longer had German services and we also used envelopes for our offerings. I never got that last one but I can see her alarm for non-German services. There was a wide belief amongst German Lutherans that German would be the language spoken in heaven.
I think my schooling was wrong, i am not getting one, i will have to start schooling again:)
I had to post it because it was such a monumental piece of paper. I said it was important for every non-Catholic Christian but I should've included Catholics because Luther even inspired some changes in that body.
Mighty Fortress..good song. I'm only a quarter German...I think I maybe caught one line out of all that, but I am familiar with the 95 Theses, so no matter.
Well the only reason I would know this is because I had to translate it in a German class.
all I know is butchered, "Es ist a swine" or something from when I visited at dinner time in Germany a family with a two year old who didn't want to eat with a fork. The more they called the kid names the more the kid refused to eat with a fork. Scary, but they had great wine, so I stayed.
I remember eating at a German restaurant and for some reason I was calling the pork dish Schweinhund. "Das Schweinhund schmeckt gut." The waitress told the owner and he came over and thought I was not enjoying my meal. Schweinhund means literally means pig dog but it is used to say bastard. I felt like a fool.
Schwein! That's how it's spelled! thanks! (pig dog: Schweinhun ... hey we all learn ... sometimes the hard way)

It's Luther's 95 Theses which I think is such a monumental event for non-Catholic Christians.

It was also Reformation Day on Saturday so I had to post this monumental writing for non-Catholic Christians.

That's awesome that you caught a few lines.
I picked up NONE of this and my German ancestors would not be proud.
