Stephania Heine: 'carpe diem' you mean...:)

12 mins

-> Well, may be I misunderstand "carpe diem." // Oops! There are more Google hits with "carpe diem" than "carpa diem"! Aber es ist mir sowieso Latein oder Griechisch. Und damit ist mein Latein am Ende.

neutral

anisco: Wenjer, ohne jeglichen Kontext kannst du das gar nicht übersetzen! Da gibt es mindestens eine Hand voll Möglichkeiten.

14 mins

-> Auch deswegen bin ich ja so unsicher mit der Antwort.

agree

silvia glatzhofer: "Carpe" ansonsten find ich das als "Blindübersetzung" gut - as good as it can get without context

38 mins

-> Danke, Silvia. Als ein Blindgänger kann ich ja auch nur so querschießen.

agree

Kathinka van de Griendt: I like John Denver too - but didn't we have this question a few months ago?

1 hr

-> Thanks, Kathinka. You see, both English and German are not my mother tongue and I didn't have a Latin education. I just felt it and made a guess. I didn't know that there was a question few months ago.

agree

Hans G. Liepert: Wenjer, diesmal stimme ich von ganzen Herzen zu (carpe diem) -

2 hrs

-> Vielen Dank, Hans. Irgendwann kommen wir noch beim Käsefondue zusammen.

agree

Olaf Reibedanz: Gute Idee, Wenjer! Ob es passt, kommt natürlich auf den genauen Kontext an, den uns Tana bisher noch nicht verraten hat :-)

8 hrs

-> Danke Olaf.
