*eyes open wide at this lesson, and copies the lesson to a document and saves it in case it gets yikesed*

Ich esse Joe C's Gleid, und er isst meine Scheide.
I eat Joe C's penis and he eats my vagina.

Uhhh... I said nothing. *shifty glance and waits for her post to be yikesed*

Oh yeah, and what are the words for things like suck and lick? I don't know them, which is why I had to use "eat". *whimpers in annoyance*

Do you really think my lesson will be hidden? There’s nothing obscene in there – I only mentioned terms that you’re even taught in primary school around here.

Be careful with the spelling: it’s “Glied”, not “Gleid”. Apart from that the sentence was fine.

I don’t want to be a spoilsport, but we shouldn’t mess around too much with those words. I don’t want “The Language Thing” to be cancelled because of that!!!

So, try to be nice and do only form G-rated sentences!

katkodl

Yeah, I know, I just couldn't resist.

*coughs and stands around looking stern and authoritarian*

Keep it clean guys.

Die untere Rippen sind nicht knochen.
Du hast keine Wirbelsaeule, wenn du ein sozial Schaf bist.
In der Oberkoerper sind die Lungen, das Herz, der Magen, der Trachea, usw.


****

The lower ribs are not bones.
You have no spine, if you are a social sheep.
In the upper body are the lungs, heart, stomach, trachea etc.

corrections:

“die unteren Rippen”

What exactly is a social sheep?

“Im Oberkörper sind…”

_____


die Luftröhre – trachea

die Speiseröhre – gullet



katkodl

I couldnt think of a better way of putting it.
A social sheep...which is a phrase I made up, it's usually just a sheep...is a person who follows everyone else in what they do. So if people start wearing really tight jeans, even though this person normally wears skate jeans, they immediately go and get some really tight jeans....or they only listen to the music which is "popular".

BODY-PARTS – another sequel

das Bein (die Beine) – leg
das Knie (die Knie) – knee
der Oberschenkel (die Oberschenkel) – thigh
die Wade (die Waden) – calf
der Fuß (die Füße) – foot
die Ferse (die Fersen) – heel
der Zeh (die Zehen) – toe
der Zehennagel (die Zehennägel) – toe nail
die Fußsohle (die Fußsohlen) – sole of foot.


Mein linkes Knie ist kaputt. (My left knee is kaput.)
Meine Zehennägel sind immer schwarz lackiert. (My toe nails are always painted black.)


katkodl

Maybe one could translate “social sheep” as “ein Schaf in der Menge”. As an alternative you can use the English word “mainstream” in German as well. Elderly people may not know the term though.

katkodl

chuckle...you cant say your knee is kaput! Theres no such word in English...we stole yours.

es gibt eine Bohrung in meinem Bein! (there is a hole in my leg).
Ab und zu geht mein Fuß an der Balkon und es zu dem Mond singt.

(now and again mz foot goes to the balcony and sings to the moon.

I thought you’d remember “kaputt” easier when I translate it with “kaput”. I know the term “kaput” in connection with computers (a kaput computer). I thought if it’s fine for computers it’s also good enough for my knee!

corrections:
das Loch (die Löcher) – hole (Bohrung sounds strange in that context.)
“Ab und zu geht mein Fuß auf den Balkon und singt zum Mond.”

katkodl

kaputt would have to go to broken. We use it as a slang term but its not real, and Im not sure if its only used in england or not.

Du hast mir ein email zweimal gesendet.
Koennen wir Kleidung jetzt tun?

***

You sent me one email twice.
Can we do clothing now?

... Your foot goes to the balcony and sings to the moon?

I'm trying to be inventive!!!!

Erm... uhhh... how about stuff about the home so that while we're playing that game I am not stuck just looking up one of your suggestions?


And it's a shame you didn't do that stuff with Anthea, it would have kept me entertained for a while. I loose interest in things fairly quickly, so keeping me entertained is kinda difficult.
