Can Someone Translate This For Me?

a girl wrote this to me: Ich würde wie ein Kuss

I want to kiss you?

damn, that was fast. I ran it through 2 different online translators that both said "I became like a kiss."

It was a guess only. My German is terrible.

I speak German and that makes no sense to me. It sounds like that person who wrote that is a beginner in German, because it is so literal. Literal translation:

"I would like a kiss"

Wie is a conjunction, similar to "like" in the English language. In this case it is used improperly. Second of all, "Kuss" is masculine, and therefore it should be "einen Kuß".

The person could have said

"Ich würde einen Kuß mögen." but why would you say that when you could say "Ich möchte einen Kuß." It is shorter in that case. Some cases use the würde construction, but usually only the verbs that do not change from their simple past tense. A German would probably say "Ich will dass du mich küssen."

Why don't you just move to Germany?

Maybe I will :lol:

Damn, LW, das iz hott! Ja, ja, ja!

(I only know how to say yes, hi/bye & shit, lol)

:) oh indie, i could teach you all the german you want, but you might forget some english in the process :evil:



naja sobald die Klamotten aus ziehen.

LW, I'm so jealous. I studied German for five years, was nearly fluent, and now I'm lucky if I can put a sentence together. Not to mention my grammar is total Scheiss!!!!

PS How do you type that Eszett on the keyboard?

Well, I have a mac, so I can do the shit easy. But if you have Winblows, you'll have to go into the control panel and mess around with language settings and whatnot. You should find some sort of keyboard setting. Either that, or you can look up the ASCII code, which would be like Alt+[insert random key combo here]

Ha ha ha Winblows.

I want a Mac too, rather badly.

Yuck, guess I'm going to have to go mess with my keyboard/language settings.

Well now that the language has been translated maybe some girl here can reveal the greater meaning of the message

Haha, you're a slick one DM
