aber wir haben zu viel Problemen mit einen Minderheit des "Brightonians", die unseren Fussballmannschaft runiert mochten (with an umlaut on the o).


Is this right?? Just doing this to get back at a teacher, it's not cheating at coursework or anything :)

Just put it into a translation website and it came up with this:

But we have too much problems with a minority of the "Brightonians" that liked our soccer teams runiert (with at umlaut on the o).

Not sure if that helps!!

"But we have too many problems with a minority of the "Brightonians" who would like our football team ruined"....something like that I think.

log on to a german chat site or forum and ask someone in your best German tongue.

I can recommend Busty german teens forum...

I mean, someone told me it was good

"zu viele Problemen"?

Assuming Minderheit is a masculine noun?

Fussballklub rather than Fussballmannschaft?

Wondering if you should say 'would like to see our football club in ruins' rather than 'would like our football club ruined'

"die unseren Fussballklub in Ruinen sehen mochte" or "....zu sehen mochte" ... not sure which but my A level German was over 20 years ago so it could be crap.

I don't know much German but tried the same sentance in Dutch (same rules of construction) and it seems to make sense.

If your teacher is claiming this is correct German he/she is an arse.

Wir haben zuviele (not zuviel) Probleme (not Problemen) mit einer (not einen) Minderheit
der (not des) 'Brightonians', die unseren Fussballverein (not -mannschaft) ruinieren (not ruinert) mochten (with the aforementioned umlaut on the o)

means 'we have too many problems with a minority of 'Brightonians' who would like to ruin our team'

given that you're obviously talking about NIMBYS you're however better off saying

'wir kriegen einer Haufen Scheisse von welchen kleinburgerlichern, dummen Eierkopfern, die keine Ahnung von Fussball haben und ein Tritt im Arsch brauchen!'

......'we are getting a load of shit from a few middle stupid class dickheads who don't have the first idea about football and need a good kick up the backside'


Hope this helps

Just a few of the sentences that help me power my way to a 'C' in my GCSE's. And they say that exams are getting easier!

Feel free to correct my spelling and grammar.
