Yeah, the phrases used in Wolfenstein (which mustn't be owned over here, not even by adults) sound kinda stupid. Some of them are:<br>Mein Leben! - My life! (I'm dying!)<br>Wer da? - Who's there?<br>Au, das tut weh! - Ouch, this hurts!<br>Halt! - Stop!<br>Guten Tag - Have a nice day<br>But it hardly sounds like german, it was spoken by englishmen.<br>Guten Tag,<br>-EikeLast modification: Shapeshifter - 05/26/01 at 08:33:16

"'sius' means 'become'"<br><br>Not in French, what language.. german?

[Jaybot]

do you want me to tell you what babelfish says when you try to translate english into german? <br>suis is the je (or I conjugation of the french verb etre, which means: to be.  Therefore Je suis stupide would mean I am stupid; not I become stupid.  Babelfish sucks for anything more than  trying to translate a foreign website for the general idea of what it says.

Yep, Babelfish is not very good. BTW, I found what "sius" means on Babylon Translator too.

Babelfish usually translates a bunch of garbage every time I try to use it. It's a good thing I understand enough German and Spanish to get by when looking at foreign websites.<br><br>I know a little Romanian as well, and Babelfish can't translate that at all. So it sucks if I am trying to read something in Romanian and get stuck.

[Jaybot]

Oh, I forgot to mention that a less common form of suis, which is actually a Je conjugation of the French verb suivre as well, can also mean to follow or take part in; as in following a sport or news, or to take/be registered in a class etc.

Suis is what you say when you are calling a hog to dinner on your farm. 'nuff said
