What does Brenn mean in German?

Its fine, i just googled it

His emblem says my heart is burning.

which is incorrect.

His emblem, translated word for word is:
My Heart burns.
sorry, don't mean to be nitpicking but can't stand my language being translated wrongly, google should know better :O:

My heart is burning means: Mein Herz tut brennen.

Hey Feuer,

Sorry about being off topic, but what exactly is happening in your signature? Is the U-Boat crew surrendering?

Unfortunately, yes.
Hence the caption:
Never give up!

ooooh.... I thought he was being all nutty and trying to attack that ship with a flare!

Do you have a larger version of your surrender picture?

Steve

Yup as Feuer Frei pointed out it does indeed mean My Heart Burns, it comes from the title of a song by my favorite band Rammstein

I love the German Language, and have been struggling for about 5 years to learn it. I can speak it , I would guess, like a five or six year old child would speak it, but I dont care. I go to Germany every year for holiday and adore Munich and love the chance to speak with the locals...but I am so bad at it...der, die, das...what the hell ???, so now everything is das, male or female I dont care everything is das :oops:
But I do love it, sounds great to me...just a bit difficult when you dont speak it all the time, nice to hear my officers talk to me in German though.

Bis bald

Hi John,
glad you enjoy your trips to Germany, Munich especially, that is my home city!
German is not a easy language to learn, partly because of the big words we have, and partly for the der, die and das, as you pointed out.
And it gets even more confusing/difficult depending on which part of Germany you travel, ie dialects.
I speak Bavarian (Schwäbisch), which is predominantly spoken in the southern part of Germany.
I always joke with my fellow Deutsche, they ask me where i come from, i say from Bayern (Bavaria), and i'm a Echter Deutscher!
Which means a 'real' German :O::yeah:
Viel Glück John!

The great tiki tiki god demands sacrifice

I know I know, the emblem doesn't fit into the north atlantic setting, more SH IV. But the captain of U-99 was born on the Fiji islands

Ελληνική σημαία με τον δικέφαλο (γερμανικό αετό) σε γερμανικό υποβρύχιο του Β ΠΠ;
Πως σου ήρθε;

Translantion(rough)
A Greek flag on a German WWII Uboot? How did you come up with this idea?

I think if I won the lottery I would move to Munich in the morning, a beautiful city. I took my wife there last year for a week and she fell in love with the city...who couldn't.

I find German people very friendly and overall very nice, I just feel bad that my German is so bad but I think they appreciate the effort from me.

Once it was snowing heavily there and I had chapped lips and went into a chemist to try get some chap stick.

All I could say to the girl was (in bad broken German...with no past tense or anything) " I am here on holiday, my lip is paining me, have you a rememdy for that?" and then made a gesture for putting on a lipstick or something like that. She was laughing, very politely, but picked up a chap stick as she understood what I was trying to say. Lots of hand gestures from me too.
Another guy, in a bar was smiling when I was ordering food and drinks...now I KNOW I was saying what I wanted correctly, but he was smiling so much I asked him if I was saying it wrong (in English) and he replied (in English) that the way I spoke German sounded like I was almost singing it as my tone was gojng up and down...and I thought my German accent was very good. He said it sounded very nice just not "German" at all.

Although I learned my German from tapes and videos I learned the South German dialect, and when in North Germany on a business meeting some time back I found the locals had trouble with what I was saying...bad grammer and weird dialect I guess.


Tschuss

John

Holy Moly - you can't stand wrong translations but you want to tell us 'Mein Herz tut brennen' is the correct translation of 'My heart is burning'?

Where are you from, mate? :DL


'Mein Herz brennt' translates into

'My heart is burning' - if you want to emphasise the present progressive form, or into

'My heart burns' - if it is a general statement.

Present progressive is not really existent in the German language, but you can help yourself emphasising the continuous and progressive aspect by using 'am' + the nominalized infinitve:

'Mein Herz ist am Brennen'


'Tut' is an auxiliary verb here and foozles the sentence.

'Mein Herz tut brennen' would translate into 'My heart does burn'. :O:
