This is a clip from the Movie 1941 (1979).

Please translate the German spoken in this clip.   :confused:

Indeed. Yo, est, if you're so interested in german, why haven't you learned it yet? It's been a year, you should have been able to make some progress on that.

Isn't that, like, the 3rd time? :) Really, just use Bablefish/Google Translate and then run it past an actual German. The_E is one, or you could just find a random person complaining about German version of FS2 causing problems with SCP/one of the mods. :)

Most of the German I know is acquired from practicing Kunst des Fechtens, which I'm pretty sure is like speaking Middle English to a modern Briton.

Zornhau anyone?

:D

"haus der presse, der schwein!"

Literally, "house of the press, the pig!" It's a common German idiom that basically means, "Shut up, you fat pig!"

(It's at exactly 2:00)

Yes I'm sure that's probably completely wrong, except for schwein, probably. Sorry, The E!

Eh, what?

1) It's not "Presse" but "Fresse" - which is rude way of refering to the mouth ("fressen" (verb) being "to eat like an animal")
2) What common idiom? PM to enlight me, please - Vielleicht sehe ich den Wald vor lauter Bäumen ja nicht ;)

But "Shut up, you pig" is spot on

Honestly, why are you guys even trying? Don't enable est1895 and his desire to understand, but not learn the best language on the planet.

I've seen German compound words.  They're downright frightening.
