Larian Studios Forums General Chat Chat (Anything) Off like Germans ;-) .. :-D

Yes we can, but then our little german Club lost his exclusiveness. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

Just joking <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> The bigger problem is, i can tell jokes in english sure (but we cannot translate every joke betwen english/german or the other way), but my improving talent to give answer fast and funny, works better in german.
One thing i have my trouble is to understand the english posts complete, and find a point where i can make a joke without upset someone.

Hm, I also daresay that translating the jokes isn't always easy ... I mean, sometimes it's very subly, sometimes just fun, but I'd always need the right words to translate everything ...

That can be especially difficult with any sorts of slang ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Okay, I think I'll try a chat we recently had.

In this thread Stone complained about the now with 1.47 locked barrells in the dungeons and battlefields.

He insisted on smashing them was "a nice alternative". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

That promted fenwulf in replying that this was "typical Barbarian : rather beating and smashing than instead looking for a more subtle solution". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Stone replied that this was typical Magician : Rather teasing a Barbarian than instead taking care of his own health ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Palahn jumped in with (using a reworked German saying) : "Why going into the far [world] when the good thing "a sword" lies near ?"

Alrik jumped in and replied that this was typical Magician AND Barbarian : Not inventing the idea to take the WHOLE barrel ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Palahn couldn't resist replying that this was typical Alrik :

Guard 1 : Do you heard that ?
Guard 2 : What ?
Alrik : Thunderrollnoise
Guard 2 : Yes, now I hear it, too. What is it ?
Guard 1 : Be careful ! This is Alrik. In the last dungeon he took all 255 barrels with him and tries now to smuggle them into the villge without being detected.
Alrik : Singrollnoisewhistlesmashcrackknirsch
Guard 1 : You'd better listen to me. Do as if you had seen nothin' . Otherwise we'll get only trouble and paper work.
Guard 2 : Okay, if you think so. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Alrik then replied to that scene with that meybe he should rather train a woodpecker to let the opening work be done by him.

Guard 1 : What's knocking over there ?
Guard 2 : That's Alrik, he brought with him a woodpecker to get a barrell opened 'unnoticed' .

After a <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> by Palahn, fenwulf replied that his elven blades wouldn't lies, but that instead they were "lying on him" (another way to mean "carrying" or "wearing").

Palahn was wondering whether fenwulf was really carrying them (the blades) ON him, and insisted that this was at least better than carrying them IN (inside) f him, but would still look funny.
Palahn also said that he was always carrying his blades WITH him. :P


That's the chat we had there. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

So, isn't smashing them "a nice alternative"? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />


I think it also depends on your sense of humor.

It's not the single post that makes it so funny
it's the build up of posts that make it so funny.
For example: Ddraigfyre starts off with something somewhat serious,
but Palahn twists it into something funny,
but it's only funny if you know where he's going.
Then Aliana or Stone follows Palahn and twists it even more.
Which in turn, sometimes perturbs Ddraigfyre,
but that is the humor of it all.

Just like Alrik already said and more.

Oncce again: Why didn't I pay more attention in Germanclass <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />???

Übereil

Why didn't I pay more attention in Englishclass <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Why have I forgotten all my German <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> or Dutch or French or english oh yeah my friend just reminded (friend?) I have "Senior Moments" whatever that means <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I am sure that you pay less attention in french class. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

A long time ago we had a great topic, very serious at the beginning which became suddenly a completely insane topic.
It was the Beyond Divinity Beta Testing topic.
It was a lot of fun because everybody played in the game even the mods. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Barta, i had france in the school, that right. But after a half year i said it was enough. Sometimes i say to me, $hit, why i am so lazy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />

I think I'd get slapped more than anything else
with the little French I know. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

The more I read the German side of this forum the more I notice
that German and American subtle humor is very similar.
I guess that is why I get a kick out of reading their threads.

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


KICK = American slang in this instance meaning (enjoy very much)

Hmmm i only know one french frase.... and i am forbiden to say it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

As for german, reading and understanding is ok..... since my mothertongue is derived from german, even the humour is very similar... with a lot of saying being well known to me.

As for speaking it.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

You can say it. The forum does not block the nocando words in french. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />
