Re: Help with German conversions please. - Hanny - 07-28-2008 04:09 AM
Thankies... but I need German. I might use it, though.
Re: Help with German conversions please. - random_name - 07-28-2008 04:52 AM
so, verhauen Sie meinen Arsch und nennen Sie mich charlie
there you go.
Re: Help with German conversions please. - Hanny - 07-29-2008 01:43 AM
Did you use a translator for that? If so, can someone please confirm that is accurate? I once translated a short story from French to English using babelfish and I got... well, babble. It translates each sord separately and doesn't take grammar into account.

yes i did, sorry.
Re: Help with German conversions please. - random_name - 07-29-2008 02:21 AM
nope, it means
so, you beat my arse and name(mention) me Charlie apparently
Re: Help with German conversions please. - Will - 07-29-2008 02:45 AM
"Call me Charlie" is sort of idiomatic and thus may not translate well literally.
Re: Help with German conversions please. - Hanny - 07-29-2008 04:22 AM
Oh, thankies for the tip.
Make that 'spank my arse and tell me I am charlie' then?

verhauen Sie meinen Arsch und nennen Sie mich charlie
this is wrong ^^^ The verb is always the second in German.
meinen Arsch verhaust und du heiBt mich Charlie
GERMAN GRAMMAR LESSON: the red stuff is block one, this MUST go before a verb and no matter WHAT the verb MUST follow the red stuff.

Unless you are asking a question. Then it's reversed.
Ex: Gehst du zur Schule zu Fuss?

As I'm Austrian and german is my mothertongue I think I can help you there...
It is: verhauen Sie meinen Arsch und nennen Sie mich charlie!
In a sentence the the verb usually goes second. here you are asking someone to do something so this is reversed and the verb goes first.
I hope this helps.

I know this thread is years old, and that I am coming a bit late, but as someone who lives in Germany, I speak German very well, and I need no translator to translate English to German and the other way around. So if you want to know something that is spoken in the German language, I am the guy to be spoken to.
RE: Help with German conversions please. - WhatEvenIsThis - 12-09-2013 09:44 AM
Also, in German this means: "Tja, klatsch mir doch in den Arsch und nenn' mich Charlie!"
