I'm taking a Spanish I class this year and I am 90% sure that Buenos Nochas is goodnight in Spanish. Mein Froinds sounds like My Friends in German?

 

Is that what it is? Buenos Nochas - Goodnight (In Spanish)

Mein Froinds - My Friends (In German)

I read somewhere that it was an intentional bastardization of a couple of different languages.

It was definately Spanish and German, but I thought the third was close to Spanish, like Portugese. Maybe?

Definitely!

After all:

German for "friend" is pronounced, but not spelled, Froind (it's Freund -- think "Freud"!)

Similarly, proper Spanish would be "Buenas Noches" and not Buenos Nochas

(bonus nachos? wink.gif )

--they're jes' havin' fun!

The correct translation for friend to German is "Freund".

Miriya was absolutly right there, but I am not sure what she ment with Freud?

Do think of Sigmund Freud then`This is only a name without a connection to the word Freund.

 

Gute Nacht, meine Freunde biggrin.gif

Ja, mein Freund!

 

All I was aiming at with the reference to Freud was that most English-speakers who do not know German do still know to pronounce the good doctor's name not as"Frood" but as "Froid"--and if they know that, then they shouldn't be surprised that "Freund" is pronounced "Froind"! smile.gif

So you're quite right:

for sound, "Do think of Sigmund Freud"

for sense, "then`This is only a name without a connection to the word Freund.'"

 

but if you like your Schiller/Beethoven, you could also think of

Freude, schoner Gotterfunken! (sorry for lack of umlauts here...) smile.gif

Wouldn't it, more properly, be "Buenos Noches, Meinen Freunden!"

It's been ages since I took a German class.

Gernan is not that easy. cool.gif

We use "meinen Freunden" too, but that would be like saying

"I went to town with my friends"

what is in German

"Ich bin mit meinen Freunden in die Stadt gegangen"

 

You can generally say that "meine Freunde" comes around with the word "are", like "you are my friends".

But when you mean "with my friends" you have to say "mit meinen Freunden".

 

This is advanced German I think.

Should I continue?

Missed this thread for a while, so give me something to talk about and we will see what kind of lesson I can do from that.

 

Ask whatever you want so we can offer some German class here biggrin.gif
