third asnwer person... how do you pronounce those wordS?
2007-04-01 06:58:00 · update #1
alles klar or kein problem works for it's okay -
alles klar : all-les klahr
kein problem: k-eye-n prob-lame
shut up:
Sei Ruhig (Sigh roo-hig) means keep quiet
Sei Still (Sigh shtill) same
if you want to say it more rudely:
Halt's Maul (halts mawl) this means like, shut your mouth - maul is generally used to mean the mouth of an animal... so yeah.
you're welcome:
bitte schön (bit-tah shoon)
hope this helps!

In German
It's ok
-alles gut (all is well)
- Machts nichts (no big deal/ Doesn't matter)
- Kein Problem (no problem)
- es ist ok (it is ok)
You are welcome
- Bitte(informal)
- bitte schoen (sh oen) (Formal)
Be Quiet
- Hush!
- Shhh!
- more sudely is 'hush maul!' (pro. 'hush mau')
- or politely and formally - Bitte, Sprechen Sie nichts.
(pro. bit-a sh-pre-ken si nixt) Please don't speak or no talking please.
Lots of thing are universal ;-)
Jusr pronounce Wilkommen (vill-komen)
In German we pronounce all of the letters exactly the way the word is spelled, except w's like v, v's life hard f's, and we pronounce the second vowel in a two vowel combination die is pronouced 'dee' not 'di' and is a from of 'the' not meaning 'death'.

In Switzerland, it's "macht nood" (with umlauts, lost them again), which in standard German would be "Es macht nichts" but I don't know if the same expression is used in Germany.
For "you're welcome"--bitte schoen.
"Shut up" oddly enough I don't know off-hand.

To say "shut up," say "Halt die Klappe!" It literally means, "shut the trap."
Halt dee Klah-pa

I think you would say 'ist okay'..they say ok like Americans do
When I used to go to the clubs over there in Deutschland and someone would bump into you or you need to get someone's attention, you would say 'entshuldegun' (I dunno how to spell it). It meant 'excuse me'

formal "Keine Ursache" (lit. no reason (to apologize))
less formal : "Kein Problem" as stated above or
"Oh, das macht nichts." or
"Ist schon gut".
"Ist schon okay" works too
You're welcome :
"Bitte schoen!"
"Bitte sehr!"
"Nichts zu danken!"
"Keine Ursache"
Shut up : "Halt den Mund"
very informal/rude "Halt die Schnauze" or short "Schnauze!"

"Kein Problem" is like saying "no problem"
"Bitte" is please but when you say "Bitte shoon" it means Your Welcome
