Edit; donno if that will actually make sense when translated... i gave one of those free translation sites a silly go...

It didn't make much sense, no. 😉 Was "auf Linie" a translation of "online" (which would actually be "online" in German)?

Guessed so..

It was supposed to say "cheap chat up line" but sadly it didn't.

By the way, here is a fact, when they first programmed a translation application to be used though a PC, they set it to translate Russian - no.. not Russ's language 😉 -

The first sentence they asked the program to translate was:

"The spirit is strong, but the flesh is weak" it came out as:

"The vodka is strong, but the meat is rotten" 😀

"Ich spreche kein Deutsch." 🙂

That reminds me of the first time I went to Norway. I had learned to say "I don't speak Norwegian" in Norwegian, but little else. I visited someone who had a 2 y.o. son. The kid was very annoyed that we were talking English all the time. So I explained to him in Norwegian that I don't speak Norwegian. After that he was even ...[text shortened]... ke much sense to say "I don't speak ..." in the language you supposedly don't speak.

the first thing I learned in french was: "je ne parle pas français, pas d'une mot." 🙂

in german: "haben sie sauerkraut im lederhosen?"

in swedish: "titta! där kommer luffe. luffe är en hund. 'luffe, kom hit!' - luffe springer på sin väg."

and in russian: "sabaka slezit na divanje i spit."

all very useful of course. 🙂

"un mot"

"in den Lederhosen" (or "in der Lederhose" )

Agreed. I think we've reached an all-time low in forum fun and creativity here.

What is it with you, dogs and foreign languages? 🙂 By the way, is Luffe a koira? Or maybe a villakoira? 😀

Sorry to hear about that. I will pray for you.

I meant the first one, which addressed nobody (not like the 2nd, which
addressed 'lordhigh'😉 and, thus, cannot be framed in the case of the
2nd, thus demonstrating the double standard.

then I am confused, because the logs show no post of yours in the last week that's been hidden then reinstated. Maybe I'm overlooking it - I'm glad it's sorted though

yep, 'koira' means the dog. it's not my fault though, it's the learning material. even the first english lessons had a dog called Spot. I don't know why the keep plugging dogs everywhere. even the japanese lessons had an 'inu'.

I was told (by a Finnish woman) it meant "poodle". Hmm, who is right?
