Subject: RE: BS: What is the question? From: MudGuard Date: 23 Jan 04 - 05:26 AM The question is "If the answer is Chicken Sukiyaki, what is the question?" ;-) "Chicken Sukiyaki" is the answer to many questions. For example: What did MudGuard not have for dinner last night? What did MudGuard not have for breakfast yesterday? What will MudGuard not have for breakfast tomorrow? ... Perhaps if you are more specific, the answer er the question could be more specific... |

Subject: RE: BS: What is the question? From: Micca Date: 23 Jan 04 - 06:31 AM I think DtGs question (to a german speaker) is ! "Is the name Walter spelled with a V" |
|
Subject: RE: BS: What is the question? From: MudGuard Date: 23 Jan 04 - 06:59 AM Micca, that can't be. Either it is pronounced English, then it is nine, double-u (or in a German way of writing it "accoustically") Nein dabbeljuuh Or it is pronounced German, then it is Neun we. "Neun" is pronounced very different from "nein". German "eu" is pronounced like "oy" in the English word "boy". German "ei" is pronounced like "i" in the English word "nine". so we have "noyne" as opposed to "nine". Not very similar. |

Subject: RE: BS: What is the question? From: Micca Date: 23 Jan 04 - 07:50 AM It is if you speak Deut-lish (a synthesis of english-german,like Franglais) it would go "Bitte schon, "Is the name Valter spelled with a V" "Nein( pronounced"english as Nine) double-u" |

Subject: RE: BS: What is the question? From: Dave Hanson Date: 23 Jan 04 - 07:55 AM Are you a pole vaulter? nein I am a German, but how did you know my name was Walter? eric |
|
Subject: RE: BS: What is the question? From: MudGuard Date: 23 Jan 04 - 08:08 AM In German, Deutlish is called Denglisch. pole is pronounced without the e at the end in English, Pole (the German word for a man from Poland) is pronounced as two syllables - the e is spoken. vaulter is pronounced with the first vowel sounding almost like the German vowel o (not quite, but similar - almost like the au in English "Paul"), but Walter is pronounced with an a as in English word "far" (not as long though). So this example too does not really work... |
