The "how do I say it in English"-Thread

[Hoppla-Daisy]

Here you can post some "German" idioms/words if no dictionary has helped so far . I'm sure anybody feeling she/he has the right idea in this context will not hesitate to be of assistance .

Oh, I feel a little if I was not so (ganz really?) innocent of (?) the creation of this thread.
That's here the negative fortune (Schicksal?) of the latinists: they have less English, and if they have 2 years a teacher, who disliked working, the thing is getting worse.....
So I'm not afraid of talking, but there are some strange things coming out...

Why did you open this thread, Daisy? Do you need some help with English?

[Flauta]

She doesn't, but I do, unfortunately

Then post your question!
