You counted them all ! Wow, you really must have been bored ...


Good luck with that job in France this summer, I hope you'll get it.

Btw, is it a job as "Hosenrasenjockey" ?

Melusinchen, just in case you happen to see that, I've sent you a rather long email tonight. Hope you are feeling at least a little better.

Okay, let's test altavista ! Type: " Verdammter Dieb, warte bis ich Dich in die Finger kriege ! " I hope the translations will be at least close to what you were trying to say. Otherwise I would be at a complete loss here. But hey, the computer is always right. After all it's only my native language.

What I wanted to sa , was

"damned thief, just wait until I get my hands on him!"

Oh well, I'm sure if I had my paper dictionary here I would have made a different lot of mistakes, maybe I should just stick to the German I was taught, Like describing an event which occured whilst I was in a cafe, or write a letter to you Pen-friend Hans in Hamburg, telling him about your siblings/ house and pets.

Now don't let that stupid translator bring you down ! I understood what you wanted to say and the translation I suggested was the exact right one. Electronic translators tend to have problems with translating figurative/idiomatic expressions properly: "to get s.o.'s hands on s.b." tanslates to " jdn. in die Finger kriegen". There is a certain similarity there, but it is not exactly the same. But don't worry about: "idiomatic expressions" is THE hardest part of the art of translation, anyway.
