German/English Translations
Even though my father is Russian and my mother is American, I was born and grew up in Germany. When the Professor brought me to America, he gave me a mental crash course in English, but I still use some German as it is my first language. Here are translations of the things I say most often. Let me know if I’ve left anything out.
Bitte - Please
Bitte- You’re welcome
Dankeschön - Thank you
Es tut mir leid - I’m sorry
Grüß Gott - Hello (not literally, but that is how it is used)
Guten Abend - Good evening
Gute Nacht - Good night (used when going to bed)
Guten Tag - Good day
Ich weiß nicht - I don’t know
Ja - Yes
Liebling - Darling
Nein - No
Mein(e)(er) - My
Mein Vogelchen - My little bird
Schatz (Schätzchen) - darling
Scheiße - shit, fuck (exclamation)
Tschüß (Tschüßi) - Good-bye (informal)
Vielen dank - Thank you very much
Wie bitte? - I beg your pardon, excuse me
((OOC Note: Please feel free to correct my German. I only took it for two years in high school. Just be nice about it. Thanks!))
Grüß Gott!
