[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 362965, member: 710"] Some "corrections": [b] Ist deine Tochter achtzehn, bitte?" [/b] Nobody would use the word "bitte" there. Maybe you could say: "Bitte? Deine Tochter ist Achtzehn?" in a meaning of "What? Your daughter is 18? This can't be true ..." If you would ask this question to the father (or mother) and he isn`t a friend or a relative, you would probably ask (if at all :) ): "Ist Ihre Tochter Achtzehn?" or "Ihre Tochter ist Achtzehn?" [b]"Man kann am Brot allein nicht leben!" [/b] Better: "Der Mensch lebt nicht vom Brot allein." [b]"Ich habe durchgefallen" [/b] (Careful with this one, depending on the context it either means I have failed miserably or I have diarrhea) "Ich bin durchgefallen" means you (the speaker) failed miserably "Ich habe Durchfall" means you (the speaker) have diarrhea. :) [b]"Not macht enfinderung" [/b](Roughly translated Necessity is the mother of invention) Correct: "Not macht erfinderisch" True. "Schiesse!" would mean "shoot" as an Imperative. (like "Shoot him/them"), "Scheisse" is... well, not allowed to type in this forum, as far as I know. :) But since you want to use this in roleplay, it is more important how you pronounce it. "Scheisse" would be pronounced "Shy - Ce", "Schiesse "She-Ce". Mustrum Ridcully [/QUOTE]
