Hi...


Am I right in guessing the German for Flying Circus is...

Fliegenden Zirkus ...???

Many Thanks
Ah you see Flitzer moves in mysterious ways :-)

Cheers

yes ..translation is correct but what is this secret project? :-)
bestest regards

Well I haven't really spoken any german for the past ten years, so I'm not quite sure. German grammer is not easy.
"Fliegenden zirkus" is not wrong, but it could also be
"Fliegende zirkus" or "Fliegender zirkus" depending on who's flying circus it is.

Is it "Flying circus" as in "Monty Python's flying circus", I think the right grammer would be "Fliegender zirkus".

Is it "flying circus" as in "The flying circus from England", the right grammer would be "Fliegende zirkus "

If it is "flying circus" as in "The history of flying circus", the right grammer would probably be "Fliegenden zirkus"

I could be very wrong, but I think it's right.

Thanks for the quick response.

Hmmmm...Ja ich openig zee kan of vurmz.

It would be for a name on the side of an aircraft.
I have not decided whose flying circus yet.
Or it could be "the".....in which case would it be die or das?

Engin...its for a Fw Volksflugzeug.
One of the profiles for the next set...

Cheers and thanks again

Oh no, German Grammar... :-) . I worked with Germans a few years ago, and even they didn't know 100% if it was -n, -m, -s, -r und so weiter.. :-)
But Jesper is right, it depends of the context.
German Grammar is a minefield. (einen Minenfeld? eines Minenfeld?? einer Minenfeld???? :-) )

Cheers
Henk

P.S. As for your question to die or das, that would propably be die then, as das ist Fraulich, end der ist Mannlich. Which makes die a-sexual. or maybe trans-sexual.. ;-*

I believe it would be "Der"

Hello Folks,

as native speaker I think should lead the way.

Jesper came very close to the point.
The correct term is: "Der fliegende Zirkus"

Regarding the minefiels-problem: "ein Minenfeld" would be correct

Thanks again to you all...

And Patrick I can't get better than that ....Brilligg!



But if I give it a "belonging to" name like Gunter's or Kurt's Flying Circus...would that affect the rest of it?

You think German grammar is difficult...don't go near Polish...congugate this congugate that....I just ask the wife...its easier that way.

Cheers
Peter

Unfortunatly it would affect the correctness...

The correct phrase is:
"Gunters fliegender Zirkus" oder "Kurts fliegender Zirkus".
Please note, that there is no apostrophe.

Many thanks again Patrick..

with your help my German language has now expanded beyond Ein bier bitter ...although it is a handy phrase to know

Many thanks again
Peter

hi !

no it´s just : ein Bier bitte !

without "r"

peter, you're welcome

Hier ist Dein Bier .

No no, that should be ' ein Grosse bier bitte'.....

Or, knowing Peter's taste ' ein Bitter bier bitte'... :-)

Hmmmm

Martin
no it´s just : ein Bier bitte ! without "r"
thanks for the tip....I've neve had to write it before :-)

Henk
No no, that should be ' ein Grosse bier bitte'.....
Or, knowing Peter's taste ' ein Bitter bier bitte'...

Oh you know me so well... :-)

One more thing before I go please...
If I use a surname like Golazs or Schmidts rather than a first name would this alter the Flying Circus bit?

Thanks
Peter
:-)

Peter, when you add a surname the change wouldn't be that great:

Just write:
Kurt Schmidts fliegender Zirkus
or
Peter Allens fliegender Zirkus

The "s" is attached to the surname instead of the forename.

Hallo? Hallo?

Thanks Patrick...

I've settled for "Rudis Fliegender Zirkus"

Fred
Hallo to you too :-)

Steins all round... prost

Cheers
Peterr......well I had a spare r from the end of Bitte

Thanks again
:-) oh all right then
