Jawohl! [yes in German] - at least a little bit

We'll see...

Sükk trotzdem an de Bloomen hööcht stoaht see ok nich mehr so in Hopen

What could that mean? And especially I need the meaning of the word 'sükk'.

*removes herself to the rafters as a precaution*

Are you sure that's German? Sounds more like Dutch or Flemish to me...

Let's see - I've managed to understand a little bit of Dutch (like 1/5 of each sentence) - could 'sükk' mean 'suck'? Something about flowers?

I'm not sure that that's standard German; it could be Flemish or Frisian... Hati, where did you get that line from?

I don't know, honestly. I don't speak any of those languages.
It's just one of my friends in trouble...

Googled for the phrase, and found it on an - indeed - German site...
