That depends entirely on the contaxt that you will be using the word.

For instance.

If you were to say that " There's no denying it " you would be using the German Nicht as the literal translation - the full phrase would be " es lässt sich nicht leugnen"

Also if you were calling somebody a no-hoper you would use the word Niete - " völlige Niete"

And then there is the use of the keine, for instance "It's a no through road" would translate to "es ist keine Durchfahrt"

So as you see there are many words that are used in German as direct translations of our word No.


Anything else we can help you with Sagacious ?

Nothing I feel nine, I mean fine. What's up?

I'm 29. To reply to someone earlier in this thread, why wouldn't a 29 year old be into gaming? I am, and have been since the Zaxxon and Donkey Kong *arcades* (1981 being the earliest of the two)

It's cool to have witnessed the evolution of gaming, in no particular order: -

* Arcades dying as the technology available at home outclasses dedicated units
* The reintroduction of the console (snes / megadrive) after the Atari 2600 / colleco etc died
* The acceptance of the medium by advertising (PS1) and as a fashion accessory
* The Handheld revolution (GB, GBA, Lynx etc)
* The birth of the PC as a viable games machine (DOOM nach)

And what have we got to look forward too? DoomIII Mmmmmmmmmmm

(Just realised this really should be in "The future of gaming thread". Oh well)

Whats with the obsession?

Sorry to hijack the thread but I'm doing some German revision: now I know that "Ja" means yes but what is the German for no?

Well I have never had a bad experience that involved the opposite sex (or my own), but I have drunk enough to make me throw-up. That was enough to teach me not to drink that much again.

Perhaps. ;-)

Speaking from a bad experience I’m guessing.

The taste, and effects it leads to.
