No, Cookie, I'm not. I lived with a mountain lion for three years but she never did get used to me.

Thanks for thanking the people you thanked. And how has your day been?

Joe, "siebzig neun" is not used in any part of Germany for 79. "neunundsiebzig" is the normal (and only - apart from pronunciation variations) form - I do not like it, but there it is.

179 is (ein)hundertneunundsiebzig - which shows why I do not like it - the spoken "digits" are in a different order than the written digits, as the "siebzig" is at the end while the corresponding 7 is in the middle.

(similar to US dates which have the small unit days in the middle, the medium unit month at the beginning and the big unit years at the end)

Oh, I wanted to add: Joe, I too have never seen numbers given that way in German. We always used 'und'. But just to cover the bases - since my family spoke a dialect - I looked it up in Babelfish and the alternative is what they gave.

Thanks for the link, alanabit. I'm glad to have the tune.

Have to say, though, that if the video is a distillation of men's fantasies, no wonder it is said that men are from Mars. lol

Hi, Cookie. Listen up, buddy. You have to be nice to folks here, OK? Most of them are my friends. They're good people, so be cool.

I have a full day ahead of me, so I won't be here much until after supper. Maybe we could shoot the breeze then, OK? And you make sure you than Jeri for deleting your e-mail address. She's one of the assistant clones who took care of that for you. She is also a very nice lady. And Mr Offer wrote me when he got to Mudcat and said that the deletion of your e-mail address had already been handled. You have some really good people looking out for you, so ya gotta be nice. Capiche?

Cookie, Joe is the first moderator here. This thread wasn't non-music until you started a chat here. Kid or adult, it would be a good idea to seek a clue before jumping in and pissing people off. I'm sure if you make an effort to understand what Mudcat's about, you'll be welcome here.

And regarding your e-mail address deletion: you're welcome.

Na und, cookie?

The thread started out as a song request, and was in the music section until today, when the conversation drifted far, far away from the song request. HOWEVER, should anyone know the lyrics for the requested song, we'd still like to see them posted in this thread. Just put ADD and the song title in the subject box of your message.

I guess one of the Clones moved this thread to the non-music section. I think it started out looking for a song, but the song was never found and the thread drifted.

Anyhow, Ebbie said 79 was neunundsiebzig or siebzig neun. Now every part of every German-speaking country has a different way of saying things, but siebzig neun is something I ain't never heard nohow. Is there a native speaker in the house, who can verify whether siebzig neun is ever used?

LOL.

I failed it all the way through school. However, whether or not we like it, we have to learn it. If the math to get my age was a bit much, here's the long explanation.

"Multiply your age by 4. Add to that 5 x 3"

Your age is 11. So 11 x 4 = 44. Add 5 x 3 = 15 to that.
                  
44 + 15 = 59. So, my age is 59. Don't be tellin' that to people. SSSSSSHHHH.

OK. Cookie is good. I preferred Oscar the Grouch myself, but then it's an age thing, and I'm a grumpy old guy anyway.

I just sent a message asking that the e-mail post and some bits of another be removed. Mr Offer is the site administrator and he's a really good guy. So that's taken care of.

Now, what are you studying in history?

"I learned German from books I read and tv shows I watched.Eventhough I know German I am not popular.But I have a girlfriend.Which is pretty good.She has german ancestors too."
