Post by erkonig » 02 Oct 2003, 04:12

Is there anyone who can translate the Meaning of the German Flag,
The thing thats like "Out of the darkness, Through the blooshed, into the sunlight"
I need it for school and I would really appreciate it

Also, I was wondering myself, its a stupied question but how do you pronounce the name Joachim?

No question is stupid. You have, however, chosen a very tough name!!
My best phonetic translation is: YO·aaċċh·EEm
On the aaċċh part, the double c's need to come from deep in the throat, and sound almost forced out. Note: the c's are not hard like K's but soft. No true letter or word in the english language can describe the sound! Maybe a purebred German can help me out here :P

As for the flag meaning question, I'm as lost as you are. :|

How about this?

Yo - Aa - Khim?

Yo = As in AMerican greeting "yo!"
Aa = Not very stretched out.
Khim = The "Kh" is not very hard. A bit soft.

John

PS: I ain't no pure bred German either. But I figured it is a bit simpler to read this way that phonetics (albeit phonetics being the BEST way :))

If you are asking about the Current German flag :


I found this site very useful :

Colours of German Flag


The German National Flag (Introduction and History)

Hope this helps and good luck with school :)

"Out of the Darkness, through the bloodshed, into the sunlight."

"Out of the darkness, Through the bloodshed, into the sunlight"
Aus der Dunkelheit,
durch Blutvergießen,
ans Tageslicht
would be a very near translation.
