Hi all - i would like to ask for some help.
I have won an auction on Ebay for a Big Box which is in Germany. the seller is reluctant to post to the UK however I think he might but he doesnt speak english.
I would like to ask 2 favours - first can someone translate this sentance for me - 'I would appreciate it very much if you could send it direct to the UK, however if this is not possible i will try to find someone who I can ask to receive it and forward it on. Thankyou.
Favour 2 - if he wont send to the uk - would someone be willing to recieve it and resend it to me?
Thanks in advance!

The translation could be:
Es wäre sehr schön, wenn Sie die BigBox direkt zu mir nach England schicken könnten. Wenn das nicht möglich ist, würde ich versuchen, jemanden in Deutschland zu finden, der sie in Empfang nimmt und an mich weitersendet. Vielen Dank.
I know it isn't correct to change UK in England, but in Germany most of the people think of the whole island when they think of England.

Fritz_Spinne was quicker.

If you need a receiver/resender ;) in Germany, just write me a PM.
If you could wait 'til springtime I could arrange a personal transfer of the BigBox.
Some Scottish friends are planning to visit me, and on their way back north ... 8)
No, just a joke. ;)
I would offer you the forwarding of the BigBox.

Thanks all. Much appreciated. I have sent the message, I will await a reply.
This forum and its links to carc f is just great. And it is amazing that I feel I can trust people here to do something like this

I’m really impressed with the members of this forum. If someone can be of some help, they do it without hesitation.
I got my copies of The Darmstadt and the The Dutch and Belgium Monasteries with the help from Khonnor and SRBO. If it weren’t for them, these expansions would be impossible for me to obtain. And they have helped a lot of you other guys to get hold of them too.
This evening I got a mail from Quevy with one of his tiles, that I liked.
And now Benny offers Rosco to be the resender of his Big Box - and that within an hour!
I bow to you guys. You are really great! :(y) :(y) :(y) :(y) :(y) :(y)

This is awesome support and fellowship here guys. Nice work! :(y) :(y) :(y)

Great work guys! It makes me proud to be part of a community where stuff like this can take place! :(y)

Thanks again everyone.
The seller has agreed to post it which is great but i need the next part of the message translated if anyone can help?
'Thank you for the invoice. Ebay wont let me pay - I can pay by paypal, so please change the settings to allow me to pay, thank you very much.'
Thanks CC people!
-
Danke für die Rechnung.
Allerdings lässt die Ebay-Seite mich nicht bezahlen - ich würde mit Paypal bezahlen, könnten Sie bitte Ihre Einstellungen ändern, so dass ich den Artikel bezahlen kann? Vielen Dank dafür.
do you know why Ebay won't let you pay?
-
Thanks again! Next sentence - ' ok, what is your IBAN number? I will pay today. '
-
In Ordnung, bitte geben Sie Ihre Bankverbindung an (IBAN und BIC). Ich werde noch heute die Überweisung in Auftrag geben.
-
Thanks Fritz

One of the guy s we play football with is from Germany. He does not speak Swedish well as he's a foreign student.
It's funny as we were playing football at the usual soccer field when he showed up one day and everyone thought someone else in the gang knew him and invited him in. ;D Ever since, he's been a member and plays every week.
So, I thought it would be fun to learn some German phrases regarding football. Such as "pass me the ball" or "pass left" etc.
Figure I post it here because the thread subject is kinda on the spot. >:D
UPDATE: Forgot to put the question out there, any of you German speaking can give me a few phrases to learn?
-
Hej Yellow,
but you must learn me / us the same in swedish ;)
We can make a vocabulary and phrase lesson.
By the way: a few years ago I had some swedish lessons at an evening school for adults (folkhögskola).
But meanwhile I forgot most or better to say nearly all things, because I didn't used the language in the meantime (made other holidays not in Sweden).
So it will be good to refresh some things.
After 5 years I was in Sweden again for two weeks this summer, but just used some small phrases I remember. Had no time to refresh my swedish before.
Yes, it's a shame ... :'(

Yes we do.
I forgot a vital part of my post, hence the post got interpreted wrong! Oops. I forgot to put out a question if any of you know a few phrases in German regarding football that I can use when we play.
-
Your mentioned phrases are something like the following in german:
pass me the ball = pass den Ball zu mir ... or ... spiel den Ball zu mir
pass left = passe links ... or ... spiel links
Tomorrow I will ask some colleagues who are still playing football. ;)
My football-time is long ago. I could mention some, but I think I forgot a lot. ???
-
What about "Du stehst im Abseits!" ("You are standing offside!") or "Das war eine Schwalbe!" ("This was a dive!").
Maybe you also want to talk about shots against the bar: "Was für ein Lattenschuss!" ("What a shot against the bar")
Last but not least "Schiri, wir wissen wo dein Auto steht!" is always worth a laugh. ;)
("Referee, we know where your car is standing!")

LOL!
The referee phrase was hilarious! Sadly can't use it, as I am sort of the ref in the field. We don't have one officially but I am the only one able to keep score when we play.
We have started implemented many official rules this year successively. Now that we have a real field with real goal and lines it helps. Only drawback is the high fence on one of the longer side which many players tend to use as a bouncing wall that clearly ruins the game.
Else we do have penalty shots, corner kicks and such. Really, the only thing that is missing, is the offside rule which is kinda hard to determine without anyone off the field keep track of this.
Pass me the ball is something I will practice on! I keep yellow yelling PASSEN HIER! currently.
