Google translate ist nicht sehr schlecht. Ja, es ist nicht die besten, aber it es macht ist gut mit täglichen Phrasen, nein? ich kann mir vorstellen es würde machen tun, mit derartig einfachen Sätzen noch gut funktionieren.
It might, but a lot of English phrases are pretty different from how it would be articulated in German, especially expressions like 'make do'. "Machen tun" makes you sound rather silly (and of course, it's not a valid expression in German).
As I said, it's good enough to roughly translate easy sentences and get your message across, but it's far from a good translation (one that reads well too).
Hahaha, well, if that was your only complaint, then I did better than I thought. I took a few years of German (2 years in highschool, 2 years in college), but I never get to practice it. Every now and then there is a German thread in the international forum, but it looks like there aren't enough German gaians to keep them alive. Hast du die Musikgruppe Wir Sind Helden gehört?
Yeah, I know that thread, but it's barely active (like all of the German guilds I'm in). When I was active on Gaia in 2009/10, there were a lot of active German users. Even so many, that we started writing RPs together (which was pretty awesome). But after a while, it's gotten qiueter, I didn't go online that often myself and since I've returned the number of German Gaian seems to be dwindling... sad
Und natürlich kenn ich Wir sind Helden! Ich glaub jeder hier kennt sie. whee
(Please, feel free to tell me whenever my German looks retarded. I generally try to construct the sentences myself while using google translate to fill in gaps or words I don't know.)
Endlich! Ich weiß nur ein bisschen deutsche, so Ich kann Ich sehr ein bisschen vom Liedtext verstehen, aber Ich liebe Ein Elephant Für Dich, Darf Ich Das Behalten, und In Mir Drin! (not sure what you want to say here)
(Alright, I mostly keep critcism to myself, bc a lot of people don't like to be corrected. I'll just correct the sentences in the quotes and bold whatever needed to be corrected)
Naja, das meiste kann ich verstehen. Aber der Satzbau ist oft noch etwas verdreht (but I know syntax and grammar are pretty difficult in German, sometimes even I am not sure how to arrange the words or what case to use)
Wir sind Helden sind nicht so meine Musik, aber ich höre auch nicht viel deutsche Musik, wenn ich ehrlich bin. Am liebsten mag ich K.I.Z. (satirischer Hip Hop)
(Man, we were just getting to dative case at the end of my German two class. I signed up for German three, but unfortunately they canceled it because I was the only student that registered sweatdrop )
"Darf Ich Das Behalten" und "In Mir Drin" sind die namen von Liede. Vielleicht möchtest du In Mir Drin, wenn ihr gerne hip-hop. Der Schlagen ist schön.
(I want to ask if you listen to more American Music, but I'm having trouble phrasing that... Something tells me satirical German Hip Hop will go over my head.)
