OK. I'm not all that good at German. I usually drive Mum "mad" when I read German out aloud from a book or a text (which I can) but as for understanding the language altogether, that's just not in me.

Lalaith, ich habe nicht alles verstehen, aber ja, Sonne-Sterne ist meiner Schwester.
Um... I don't really have views on the Holy Blood and the Holy Grail... I'm a bit hazy to what it was claiming etc etc... something about Et in Acradia Ego by Pousin?

Lalaith, wenn 'ubersetzen' auf Englisch 'explain' ist, dann nein. Wenn es etwas anderes ist, dann ja bitte.
Grey_Wolf, I remember now, but whether it's true or not, no-one really pays attention to it...

Übersetzen heißt wirklich "translate".
"Explain" wäre eher "erklären".
