Dave2,


We ( MrFixit and I ) got this comment on our youtube site -


das auf deutsch, oder fertiglösung


I used the Bing Translator to translate it and it translated to this in english -


DAS in german or fertiglösung


Can you or anybody on here tell me what it actually means in German ? I figgure that DAS is an abbrevation of somesort . It was under our - Troubleshooting The Microwave Oven, Part 1 - video . I take it to be a compliment or an insult and not a question as it's so short a statement , but you know how those foriegn languages are - one word can mean a whole paragraph.


Thanks,
Whizkid
 
Dave2,

Thanks , by the quickness of your reply and your posts under mine , I take it that we're both on here at the same time . It's Tuesday morning 1/03/12 at 5:04 A.M. here . Got to get up early so I can sleep after awhile in order to go back to work on third shift tonight otherwise I'd still be asleep.

(quoted from post at 04:15:24 01/03/12) My German is almost nonexistant, but this is not to difficult to break down:

das = that

auf deutsch = in German

fertig = ready

loesung = solution

So, without knowing the context of the comment, it's hard to say what the comment MEANS, it roughly translates as, "in German, that's a ready solution". So maybe the commenter was trying to say that the colloquial German expression for what you are doing is "fertigloesung". Something like "quick fix".

sounds real good.... would also depend on where in germany the person that wrote it is from,,, _Town I live in has a different dialect and slang from a town 3 miles away.....

When Mom & dad were young, people around our area spoke low German or high German. Both completely different from each other. If you spoke one you couldn't understand thoe other.
 
Hey Guys, we may have to start a German speaking YT forum. My German is stating to wane the last couple of years. Lived in Germany for 23 years, married a German, spoke nothing but for years. Now back here in states, no need.
 
My dad and my uncles and aunt on his side when ever they got together would go out in the yard and group up and speak German to each other. Us kids would hang around eaves dropping on them. I never understood it enough to pick up on any of the language. Our grand father spoke nothing mainly but German up to the WW2.At that point speaking German stopped.I have a cousin who is a native of Germany.He was born and raised there and still is a resident.My pre 1800 surname was Hermann.It changed to Harman and now is Harmon.
 
I"m pretty sure that the timeline on each post is WA State time- Pacific time zone. Home of this site.
 
My wife is German. She says the phrase is nonsensical. Literally meaning
something like 'In German or already mixed'. I would guess that last word
is not what was intended.

I found a definition for "fertiglösung". It means the same as "turnkey solution". In other words, something (typically that you buy) that's ready to go; i.e. you can "turn the key" and go.

Forgot to mention that "oder" is "or". So, he's saying (I guessing) that you could use the word "fertiglösung" to describe what you have on your web site in German.

Understand that most nouns in German are compounds formed from a few basic words, and they tend to be quite literal. So you can usually easily break down any German word into its roots, although if it's an idiom that may not get you the true meaning.
 
Speaking of name changes, the town of Garland, Nebraska was originally incorporated as "Germantown" because it was settled by Germans.

Then WWI came along, and anti-German sentiment ran so high the townspeople decided to change the name. They decided to rename the town after the first serviceman from the county who was killed in the war. The first one was named "Schults". That was as bad as "Germantown".

While they were thinking it over, a soldier with the last name "Garland" was killed, so they renamed the town after him.
 
The phrase can take a different meaning based on the rest of the conversation. If you have a link it may help but the gist of it is proll what was already mentioned (quick fix)
