The German thread

In Off-topic

Roth suggested by PM that I should start something like a German language thread.
Thus, this thread is dedicated to Roth.

I think I like the idea, but I don't exactly know what to write here, so I'll start with a funny word It's Germish (German-English):

Handy: That's what Germans call a cell phone. I don't know how this word came into being... of course new cell phones are handy... but the bulky stuff from ancient times?

If there's anything you want to know, just ask.

What about some of the words we might find on a German video game related site... such as maybe the words like:

Graphics
Sound
Quality

... basically words that may help on pages you submit that are in German, such as the review page you showed us...

Pretty much of video game related words are English terms or similar to English.

Ok,

English German

graphics = Grafik
sound = sound
quality = Qualität
review = Test, Review
news = News, Neuigkeiten
strategy guide = Lösungsbuch, Spieleberater
hint = Tip
cheat code = Cheat
age rating = Altersfreigabe
developer = Entwickler
genre = Genre
number of players = Spieler, Anzahl der Spieler
manual = Handbuch, Anleitung
difficulty = Schwierigkeit
release (date) = Termin, Veröffentlichung
price = Preis
reader's review = Lesertest

That's all I can think of now... If you need more, please request.

Lol, manuel giving german vlass, if anyone needs a Dutch class for beginners just let me know!

German and Dutch are quite similar in some points.
I wouldn't mind to take some Dutch classes.

Hehehe cool, well it is simular indeed,most of the germans can understand dutch if you don't speak all to fast.Here alot of people don't even understand german not to mention speaking it.

That's true, if you speak slowly enough I can understand a bit Dutch.
Sometimes I try to read the Dutch part on corn flakes or cookie boxes.
