German Language Question

[Andrewsky]

Can you please translate this for me?

"Die Mutter sagt, die Frau Klein lässt das Fenster im Klo offen in Erinnerung an den Lokus hinterm Haus in ihrer alten Heimat. Gegen solche Heimaterinnerungen könne man nichts tun."

Thanks.

[azg2340]

"The mother says, the Mrs. Klein leaves the window in the Klo open in memory of the Lokus term house in their old homeland. Against such homeland memories one cannot do anything."


Babel Fish translation. Not always accurate.

[Algaroth]

According to Google,

"The mother says the woman leaves the small window in the toilet open in memory of the Lokus behind the house in her old home. Against such memories could be home doing nothing."

[HollowHead]

"The mother says, all your hassenfeffer are belong to us". HH

What is Lokus?

[Annoyedgrunt]

What is Lokus?

The German word for Locust, maybe? :dunno:

If I had a locust in the bathroom, I'd open the window for it to get out too.

[Brent39]

Outhouse

[Algaroth]

The German word for Locust, maybe? :dunno:

If I had a locust in the bathroom, I'd open the window for it to get out too.

But against such homeland memories, one can do nothing!

Translation: "Soylent Green is PEOPLE!"

Lokus is also word for Toilet

Okay, here's another:

"AT Am Aug. 8, 1908 - Mai 30, 2004. Auf Widersehen, wir werden ihren scharfen Sinn des Humors verpassen, obwohl im Jenseits wir" ll Anschliessen Sie, MT und Anna wieder fur gluck und frieden ist."

That's in someone's sigline on another board I frequent.

[cjlandry]

So I guess that, since the "small window" was always open in the outhouse, the small window in the modern bathroom is also left open.

What an interesting sentence. Was it "out of nowhere"?

[mike7465]

Mike7465 your mother and I are very disappointed in you. You are grounded for a month.

the German sentences don't make any sense to me.

Translation:

"IT'S ON CUZ"

[BOGE]

The most important German you'll ever read:


"...nicht das Amt die Vergangenheit zu richten, die Mitwelt zum Nutzen zukünftiger Jahre zu belehren, sondern bloß zu zeigen, wie es eigentlich gewesen.
