With all of the ranting going on here at Larian maybe this will help ease the tension.

It’s a simple 30 second MP3 clip.
Lets Get Along

Eeew !!! I sell them things for dinner or at least the legs of them <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

I'm not seeing the love here.
Only MeaCulpa has shown the love. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Tsel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasJump.gif" alt="" />

Yes I agree

It' time to laugh again hihihihihihihihihihihi

Now excuse me while I go to church to dance to "war what is it good for" naked in Homer simpson style. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

PS: Why I like the song Why can't we be friends.

Probablly from completelly other reasons that I like Ugly...

But anyway, this is basiclly the only connection with other pepole I have... Expect my parents and brother... And my best friend... And in school I meet quite a lot of pepole... Erm, forget I said anything...

Depending on the browser you are using, but in IE if it doesn’t start playing for you simply Right Click on the link and Save Target As, again other browsers might read differently.
Just make sure you know where you are saving it to on your computer so you can find it to play it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I edited it to a 30 second clip so it would be legal.


Jurak >

Just admit it.
You are a closet Barney fan. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />
You know you feel the love. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />



janggut >

Great Queen song. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
I like the band Queen that's why I posted a comment about Freddy Mercury on the German side of the forum thanks to Stone helping me with translating.

I’m a drake.
Did that answer the question? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

janggut feels the love. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

It is good of you to have shown the love. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasJump.gif" alt="" />



All the rest of you Larian’s >

Come on now.
What about you? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/alien.gif" alt="" />

Tsel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

It is exactely the laugh i needed for my joke in the DD2 topic ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> I am seeing a pattern here in humor. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/alien.gif" alt="" />

Both Barta and MASTER_GUROTH have posted similar posts on this Forum and they are both in France. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

They must feel the love. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasJump.gif" alt="" />

Tsel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Liebe ist keine Verpflichtung, und niemals zwang.
Liebe ist ein freudiges geben, eine ständige verbeugung vor dem anderen.

Sorry, i cant translate this. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

@ Stone
I hope that your german words are not "sexually offensive". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

Stone feels the love! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasJump.gif" alt="" />

Love is not an obligation, and never forced.
Love is given joyfully, and is constant.

is there a way to translate by

Love is a joyful gift (sounds english?), and is a constant bowing to the other

?

that will be more reflecting the german rythme.

err... hmm... traduttore/traditore... (and yep my italian is as bad as my german <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />) ... hmm translator/traitor

Ok it works.... oh no! Its.... it! *Lews runs and hides under his bed, clutching a wet potatoe*

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> You caught on that I purposefully left portions out.
Good eye. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
It is a unique German expression and, because of that uniqueness I left out that part; due to there being no English equivalent to properly express those particular words.

Great words Stone <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Tsel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

Tsel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Love is not an obligation, and never forced.
Love is given joyfully, and is a constant bowing to the other.

I think "forced" is the wrong Word.
I think it is clear that love has nothing to do with Force

Maybe "coercion", or "compulsion" are better Words.
I cant get from the Dictionary which word it is exacly.

Stone >

The word 'forced' works here, because of the word 'never' being put before it.

Never = not ever; on no occasion; at no time; not at all; in no way; absolutely not.

It may not sound as romantic as it should, but the meaning holds true.

Tsel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

@ Stone: force can be used in that sense - as often in English, the same word can have several meanings, depending on context:

I am forced to do something - ich bin gezwungen etwas zu tun.
He is forcing me to do something - er zwingt mich...

He uses force - can be "Er verwendet Kraft" (synonym strength), but also "Er verwendet Zwang" (= coercion) and even "Er verwendet Gewalt"(= brutality; more common brute force, to be specific)

He has force - Er hat Stärke/Kraft

@ Tsel:
[color:"orange"]due to there being no English equivalent to properly express those particular words.[/color]

Though I am a German and should be flattered I disagree to the uniqueness.
Anyway - Your leaving out distorted the meaning, IMO
a better translation would maybe be "a constant reverence to the other"

Ok, good to know.

Thank you Tsel, and you Glance. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

{oben editiert}

A good example of an incorrect translation is the famous

"May the force be with you" - "Möge die KRAFT mit dir sein" - nicht "Macht", that would be "power".

Several more lessons from your part Glancealot and I will remember german once again <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

[color:"orange"] a better translation would maybe be "a constant reverence to the other"
[/color]

Äh. no <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> I think not.
"Ehrfurcht" is not what i mean if i say a constant bowing for the other.

This is not easy to say in English, not for me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
Verbeugen, wenn es freiwillig geschieht, bezieht sich für mich darauf dem anderen Gegenüber kompromissbereit zu sein. Sich selbst zurück zu nehmem, und den anderen höher zu stellen. Aber nicht in Ehrfurcht, das ist für mich zu stark in demut übergehend.
Denn dann könnte man seinerseits nicht das selbe vom anderen Empfangen, der sich, bei gegenseitiger Liebe, ja auch vor einem selbst verbeugt.
Glance, wärst Du so nett das zu übersetzen.
Das übersteigt meine kenntnisse bei weitem.

Stone >

I believe in English what you mean to say for the tanslated English word 'bow' and to what you posted in German just above is:

True Love always puts others before themselves.

Tsel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I hear the LOVE


Hmmm, German <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I miss the "cosy" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

I want to start a trend on the forum that will make it more cosy.

I suggest that every new post must start with the Icon

Who is with me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Sounds super duper to me Morbo! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Tsel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Is this ok too?

Shakes magix 8-ball.

All signs point to yes.

Yeah all icons are great if the have a positive vibe to it.









are also allowed. but no more books I say. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

It is good things like this is why I started this thread. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasJump.gif" alt="" />

The gloom wandered around the broom.
"Whom ?" I asked - "It was the gloom !" said the broom.

Oh yeah coffee and me .... well we could be married, I have spent most of my life with her, through the good times and the bad times, there have been occasions when she was a bit bitter, but then those few occasions when she is perfect (you know those "Aaah!!" moments) make up for it.

It is strange but where ever I go she is there, sometimes in small doses, sometimes in large quantities, but always reliable and always able to pick me up, no matter how bad I feel.

S yes I am a Coffee junky, but only because, she is so darn beautiful and always ready to pleasure me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

MeaCulpa >

Well, that is a good thing.

All it takes is a cup of coffee or a little chocolate and all of lifes troubles have been chased away. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Tsel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I like my coffee with milk and sugar and maybe some cream on top, stirred not shaken. mmmmmm yummie...

I used to drink my coffee with coffee creamer and or non-dairy dry coffee creamer, but I got so tired of opening 3 packets of creamer each time I drank a cup of coffee I simply started drinking it black.
It was so much more easy that way. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />
