Bahamut, the most appropriate translations of the German word "über" in English in most cases are "over" or (mostly in compound nouns)"super-".

As to the pronunciation: If I am not mistaken, there does not exist a real equivalent for the sound of the German "ü/ue" (alternate spellings of the same letter) in English. Do you happen to know some French? If so, the way the letter "u" is pronounced in French comes pretty close to how "ü" is pronounced in German.

Even more confused now? [img]smile.gif[/img]
