Hello Mieko!

[Shadowfox]

Now, I am so happy there are more and more TLK friends coming from all over the world (particularly Germany hahah). I welcome you Mieko! As well as MafunDi you will enjoy your stay here for noone has ever left this place... EXCEPT Sarafina, whom I do not see much around here... pretty said - she could just pop here and say hello but... whatever...

[Mieko]

Yeah, it's a pity...wished Sarafina to be here more often. But, not all able to get!

But don't add Austria to German, yeah - same language - but completely different countries! Hrhr.

[Shadowfox]

Believe me, Germany is inside Austria
I believe you know about the place where you leave Austria, enter Germany for a while, then again enter Austria...

[Mieko]

Oh, man
Yeah...called 'Salzburg' (meaning same as salt-castle) and 'Oberösterreich' (upper Austria?), do you mean the piece of Germany that is nearly completely surrounded by austrian regions?

Oh, damn, I'm just too happily to be able to tell you that your explanation has been...silly

[Shadowfox]

Well, in case I have in any way offended you with my silly explanation, I do wish to apologise for the inconvinience, but that is what I have been told by some friends of mine who "accidently" turned out to enter Germany in the middle of Austria...

[Mieko]

Hm...funny, hehe. No, you don't have to apologise, it was only funny
But...Austria isn't a part of Germany, it was in the second world war when...yeah, when we got conquered by Germany. Hrchrm. But today it's an independent and neutral nation, using same first language as our big neighbour Germany, but having other traditions and history, I suppose...?
It's a pity your friends had landed in Austria, but...hehe, they weren't visiting Germany then.

(Hopefully I'm always being able to differ Romania and Bulgaria in the future...)

[Shadowfox]

Impossible. (well, partially impossible)

[Mieko]

Whas this meaned sarcastic?

Otherwise...which parts of my post are partially impossible?
*being very curious about it*
I think I should have known if I were a German too

[Shadowfox]

Impossible to be in Bulgaria and think you are elsewhere, nothing sarcastic at all.

[Mieko]

Why this? Because people are speaking Bulgarian?
I think you really could be in Austria and think you're in Germany, same language, same...yeah, could be possible. But - shouldn't be!

And I'm not sure if not all languages sounded similiar for me if I was in Easrurope. No errors when beeing requested to numerate all countries from Europe, but when there are the languages asked for...phew...

[Borah]

Ich Liebe... how do you spell "German" in german again?:omgfun

I don't even know if I spelled that right anymore.. .took one year of German in 9th grade... it's pretty fun... easy to catch on knowing english

[Mieko]

Wow, you've learned German? Funny...

"Can you feel the love tonight?" = "Kannst du die Liebe heut' Nacht spüren?"

This song has been adapted to our language, if you want to sing it on German you have to sing "Kann es wirklich Liebe sein?" meaning "Can it really be love?" in German. Different text, yeah...

"Ich Liebe" = I love (not to loving someone, "Liebe" with a big L as first letter means "(the) love")

And last but not least, German is "Deutsch" in German.

Really? If one knows English well he easilier is able to understand German!? I always thought it is the other way round...

[Shadowfox]

Well, I study German for the second year but seem to be a little bit inadequatte in translating for now

[Mieko]

Hrhrhr!
Shadowfox, are you able to translate?
"I - am - Shadowfox."
"My - age - is - ...?"
"I - think - Mieko - is - so - incredible"



And do you like German as a language to learn? I would like English much more - for example - if I`d not always get bad marks at school...hrrmpf.
