Art/Literary - Slang | | Deutsch Begriff oder Satz: So kemma ma nia z‘am | Oh dear. This is going to be fun to explain.
I have a PPT slide from a company specialising in wood and paper. This particular slide is called "Das Hauptproblem (B2B), fehlende Anbindung an die WaWi".
There's then a cartoon showing a snowy ski slope in the background with "Aufi" and an arrow pointing up the slope, and "Obi" with an arrow pointing down. In the foreground of the cartoon is a house. on the top floor is a busty blonde looking out of the window saying "So kemma ma nia z'am" and looking down onto a man who has climbed up a ladder to the floor below. The man is on the window, looking through the window to watch the skiing on the TV.
Underneath the cartoon is the information "Mit Elektronik alleine geht es nicht. Prioritaeten muessen richtig gesetzt werden".
Can anyone help me with what the woman is saying? "So kann man..."?
I hope I've provided enough context - it's difficult to describe a cartoon! |
| | Notiz(en) an den/des Fragesteller(s)Ralf A. Schumacher: 7:53pm Oct 15, 2005: It's prob'ly obvious from the context, but - JIC you're still wondering - the standard German words for "aufi" and "obi" are "hinauf" and "hinab". BTW, you might want to change the category from "slang" to (Bavarian/Austrian) "dialect" next time!? -
Joanne Parker: 8:17pm Oct 15, 2005: Apologies - I saw the "slang" category and jumped on that one without considering any other possibilities

| | This way we'll never get together... | Erklärung:
It certainly refers to "fensterln" (visiting your lover by sneaking in through he window, unobserved of course..). The guy is getting distracted on his way and prefers to watch TV instead.

No. Like this we will never join each other. That's the meaning.
