So, Germany then....
-
What can I say, it is good. It is pretty, clean, cheap, the people are friendly, and the food is good. Many speak English to some degree, and if you dont I have worked out a formula to speak instant German. Hier es ist...: 1) Speak basic English. ie dont use words of Latin extraction, so you 'seek' rather than 'search'. 2) All undeclined verbs add -en and put at the end of the sentence. 3) Change all 'th' sounds to a 'd'. So 'de' for 'the', 'dis' for 'this'. 4) Learn some odds and ends of usefull vocabulary for words that arent almost the same in English ( eg 'bezahlen', 'to pay', 'ruchnung' for 'bill' (all the usual words you need in pubs and restaurants basically)). 5) Learn a few rules, 'w' sounds like 'v'. 'z' like 't', 's' like 'z'. 6) Learn the pronouns: Ich, Sie, er, es, wir. 7) To put a verb into the past tense add ge- to the beginning and usually change the ending to a kind of d/t sound, like in English: Bring->Brought, and note the same vowel change exists in German, Trinken->Getronk (Drink->Drunk). 8) Use the Scots 'ken' for 'know'. And there you go, Nu kan sie Deutsh spreken! (OK you might sound like a mental retard to them but at least you can get somwhere! :) )

Hm I think you should use kein(i wonder what is the gender of "Google Translate" der die or das) instead of nicht ?

Hmm yes. German language always fascinated me.Its way of creating words and phrases is similar Sanskrit and hence i can relate it with my language. Thanks for correcting me 5:thumbsup:
Sanskrit and German? I don't see how you could relate them. But then last I studied Sankrit was 15 years back and last I studied German was 7 years back.

I will give you an example Bundeswehr - Bundes wehr - Federal Military -> this combined word is created form two different word. Now what we call it as ThalSena -Thal Sena.. there are several other words like that

That logic does not makes sense. That way, I can relate English and Sanskrit as well. Somebody - Some body
