DEUDSCHE SPRACHE

[Issacus Divus]

All of the Dutch languages are spoken here.

 

[Etaoin Shrdlu]

I am in NL, not speaking Dutch, & may I take this opportunity to remind Pacifica that her country is officially bilingual? Or trilingual, perhaps, I lose track.

 

[Pacifica]

It is officially trilingual. Dutch, French, German.

 

[Pacifica]

It took me a bit to get your humor there.

 

[Issacus Divus]

Engels en Spaans worden hier veel gesproken.

Ich habe den Witz noch immer nicht verstanden

Ich glaube, Pacifica meinte mit "hier" diesen Thread, der sich um Deutsch drehen soll.

Ik weet. My first response was to that.

I meant "here in this thread" and Etaoin twisted it into "here in this country". That was the humor that dawned on me a few minutes after first reading her post.

I just got it (a moment before you explained it )

 

[Issacus Divus]

So, is the forum starting to work again? We hebben een nieuw lid.

Wir können wieder deutsch sprechen.

Aurelius Augustinus Hipponensis : Die erste Morgenstunde ist das Steuerruder des Tages. (From a German wall calendar). Does anyone know the original Latin?

 

[Pacifica]

This says it's from Book III of the Confessions but, searching for keywords there, I wasn't able to find it. This says it's a Japanese proverb...

Japanese? - "Curiouser and curiouser!” Cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English).”

Nach dem Internet ist das ein Zitat von Henry Ward Beecher.

Hmmm, just goes to show you can't believe a thing you read or hear. Aurelius, Japan, Ward Beecher: three down, but how many more to go?

 

[Issacus Divus]

Welterusten voor iedereen.

 

[rothbard]

Hak’ mich unter, wir wollen jetzt zusammen mal bummeln gehen.

 

[rothbard]

Nur der Klarheit halber das war für Pazifika gemeint.
