Don't need German translation anymore. Generation,age topic

[yunner]

Hi guys, I need some help due to a students exchange. Some kids from Germany're visiting my town Bychawa and I'm supposed to referee "international" (lol) b-ball match on Friday. My German is horrible so can U tell me translation of some b-ball rules, words, etc:
travelling violation
crossover
goaltending
illegal defense
free throw
out of bounds
timeout

Looking for an answer...

[Zoom]

reisende Verletzung
überkreuzung
Goaltending
ungültige Verteidigung
Throw freigeben a
us Grenzen heraus
Abschaltung

I dunno... I got that from using Google Translate. Don't thank me, I know I'm a genius.

Serriously though, maybe you should ask someone from your school or something? They could help you with pronouncing and stuff too.

[yunner]

I've done the same by pons online wortebuch and as far as I remebmer überkreuzung means more like crossroad. That's why I wanted native Germans to help me...
All in all thx U2 Zoom, Danke schon

[Zoom]

Yeah man, I think those expressions in German don't translate straight back into English.

[Donatello]

my fiance is fluent in german, i'll have her take a look at this when she gets home in a few hours.

[Zoom]

Donatello, you have a fiance? Man, I thought posters on here would be young. That or people are maryring younger these days...

[Cable]

dadamafia's married.

You should PM pHLo, he's German.

[Jing]

:lol: dadamafia's married.

You should PM pHLo, he's German.

He is, but he isn't that old though, like early 20's or something. Now Weaver was a different matter.

[Silas]

Ya i'm in my third year of German and unfortunately, I haven't studied basketball in great detail aside from a nice power point about Dirk...

I'm pretty sure Zoom's response for Traveling Violation is correct though.

Not sure how old Donnie is, but I've got a fiance; we're both 22 years old. Not everyone around here is just reaching that special stage in life we call 'puberty'

[Zoom]

yeah well, I'm gonna stay unmarried till age 30.

I guess you guys are having really long engagements... right?

[loko_tomas]

travelling violation - Schrittfehler
crossover - i think there is no translation
free throw - Freiwurf
out of bounds - Ball im Aus
timeout - Auszeit

i don't know if there is a translation for goaltending and illegal defense

Shit, I thought you were like 35. Pretty mature guy even for 22

Funny to think you were only able to start drinking a year ago (if im right) yet started "adult" life probably 5 or so years ago

I knew that it's much more simple than these stricte translated "Kali speak" stuff. U helped me a lot Loko, danke.
lol I got 95% from "Passive in Deutsch" test today...

Fortunately Poles reach adulthood at the age of 18. I can visit pubs in 3rd grade of secondary high

I don't think there's anyone on the boards past the age of 30 If there is one, then something's wrong.

[Doobie]

I beileve JeffX is like 44 or something..

[cyanide]

I guess there are exceptions. I was thinking of guys like Jugs. I can't picture Jugs in his 20's.

[---]

cyanide, how old are you? like 18?

[Cable]

Cy's like 21 I think. One of the guys who doesn't come around a lot anymore, I think it's Sauras or something like that, is married and has a son. I think he's like 40. Pretty cool stuff to be gaming with your son.

[cyanide]

cyanide, how old are you? like 18?

I could be a little immature at times, but I'm actually 22.

Sauras is a really cool guy. Big Larry Bird fan like me.

[Doobie]

I think we should make an attempt to find the average age of the forum. I know it'll take time but I'm up to dedicate some days to it. I believe the age will be somewhere between 16-18.

[yunner]

Cyanide why your eagle looks so familiar to me?

[Indy]

I only have 3 days left of being a teenager!!

I would say closer to 16... there are a few guys here in their early 20s who have been playing Live since the mid to late 90s (like myself). Then you got the really young kids in middle school here going through puberty, like age 12-13. I haven't really seen any median to that.

There's a whole bunch of us who are 15-17 here. I think Doobie's probably right.
