Sehr gut!
Ach, mein Gott in Himmel!
Ich denke du bist ein dumkopf, ja?
dig up Marilyn Monroe? “Surely Miss Monroe was cremated.” Monty Python ping.
I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave,
I will work to elevate you
just enough to bring you down
Du denkst, aber du bist falsch...
Well, I’ve run out of my conversational German. It’s been fun.
Think I’m an idiot if you choose. Read my other comments or don’t. But, I think we’re done testing each other’s German.
OK. I confess. This household is fluent in German. So, continuing would have been unfair. Buena Suerte!
There was a time when I would have been able to keep up with you. When I was a kid, my dad was stationed in Germany and we lived on the German economy, not on a military base (long story!). So, learning/speaking German was kind of essential to surviving life in a foreign country.
I didn't ask, are you German? I loved it there. We were outside Frankfurt in a town called Bad Hamburg, but travelled throughout most of Germany and western Europe. It was a great time!
As you might imagine, I have spoken little German since that time and have never had an opportunity to return. I probably wouldn't today, anyway, because I would be very disappointed looking for the Germany I lived in a long time go and wouldn't recognize unified Germany today.
“...are you German?”
Nein ;-)
I think that’s what we’re supposed to believe.
Great. The authorities can arrest you, deport you, imprison you without you even actually committing a crime anymore. Progress indeed!
