[Deus Ex Machina]

the last quote in my signature -- is it grammatically correct? It's meant to be said in a disrespectful way, so would "Sie" work or not? Is there a more informal way to say it?

 

[Mandinka2]

Looks ok to me mang grammatically , I'm not sure if you know what you are saying , I have you at:
"They sit there!"
"They close above!"
"They do not insult Germany!"
Lack of imperative I'm afraid

How do you know it's "they" and not "you"?

 

[Deus Ex Machina]

It's supposed to be:



You will sit down! You will shut up! You will not offend Germany!




Dcup translated it for me. Maybe you can do it better?

 

[Moderate_THIS]

He butchered that translation. Lost in translation.

 

[Mandinka2]

How do you know it's "they" and not "you"?

cos "Sie" with capital letter is the polite form

cos "Sie" with capital letter is the polite form

that's my point...?

Ok , this is my (undoubtedly imperfect) version.
Du wirst sitzen!
Du wirst die klappe halten! (lit. you will keep your mouth shut)
Du wirst nicht Duethschland beleidigen!

Picture ol Adolf sayin that spittin the words and ur there... he he
