German term or phrase: meine schule ist sehr grob und laut! ich normalerweise hole lost!
meine schule ist sehr grob und laut! ich normalerweise hole lost!
Holly Brice
English translation:groß instead of grob?
Explanation:
could that be?

my school is very large and noisy ...
i normally get lost.

hole means to fetch, to get.
maybe somebody didn't know how to translate 'lost' and just left it there.

This is a puzzle!

Explanation:
The "lost" may be "los." Even then one can't be sure what is meant.

ich normalerweise hole lost makes no sense


Explanation:
Someone apparently haphazardly tried to translate this before. One will never name itself first in a sentence unless a action word follows like Ich habe; Ich will...ich normalerweise hole lost makes no sense whatsoever. I've turned it around and what I came up with, assuming hole lost is due to mispelling or unlegible copy, supposed to be 'heul los', is 'my school is quite rough and noisy; sometimes I just cry'
