Title: need some German words
Post by: Chris on June 28, 2002, 08:16:41 PM: As off the wall as it sounds, the wife wants to make -paint-create- a sign to hang in the house some where. I need to come up with the German for : house of . In French it is Chateau le. In Spanish it is, Casa de.

It would have to be German. I don't know any and don't have a German English Dictionary:eek:

Any help from you guys in Germany or any who speak the language would be great.

Thanks
Chris

Correct it is: "Sie kommen von hinten mit Deiner Hose in der Hand."
Translated it is "They are coming from behind with your trousers in the hand."

Frightening...

You have really some strange german language lessons in the USA... :D

But back to Chris:

"House of" in german is "Haus von" but could also be "Haus des" or "Haus der". It depends how the sentence is going on.
For example "House of the Hohenzollern family" wouls be "Haus der Hohenzollern".

And the french word chateau means castle or palace so the german words here are "Burg" or "Schloss".

So please give me the whole sentence which I can then translate for you.

Post by: Chris on June 29, 2002, 07:57:33 AM: Thank you . I believe your example will be what my wife wants.

The sign is to read, house of the Schroeder family in German.

Don't know where she comes up with some of her ideas but after 10 years of being married I do not even try to figure it out any more.:D

Schroeder is my family name and in the mid 1700's they migrated from Germany to the U.S.

But like I said, why that has to turn in to a sgn in the kitchen in German is behond me.
:rolleyes:

Thanks again all,
Chris

Then its "Haus der Schroeder-Familie"

Also check if its "Schroeder" or "Schröder"
(you know - this funny german o-letter with the two dots over it ;) )

Rram is Spanish, and his German lessons come from Europe. ;)

Ich bin Lehrer.
Ich habe gelb Bleistifte.

That is the sort of elementary German phrases we learn.

Post by: CyranoAH on June 29, 2002, 03:39:45 PM: I hope Straffo or another french pilot reads this thread, but I think you got your french wrong.

If you want to say "house of the Schroeder family", I would say "Maison de la famille Schroeder" or "Chez Schroeder"

"Chez les Schroeder" can be used too

Post by: gofaster on July 01, 2002, 01:13:46 PM: In Florida we say: "The Schroeder Shack". I'm sure it can translate into German, French, and Spanish, but it will lose the connotation. :cool:
