Moyzan Posted October 23, 2001 Share Posted October 23, 2001 Hi guys, I'm looking to find the german names for the following type of soldiers: Flamethrower, sniper, SMG, panzerfaust, LMG. I need this info because one of my friend will modify the .cfg of Return to castle wolfenstein so that when I use the voice command to state my function, it will also say what weapon I'm using. Thanks in advance. Moyzan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patgod Posted October 23, 2001 Share Posted October 23, 2001 ahem, panzerfaust = german name for a panzerfaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moyzan Posted October 23, 2001 Author Share Posted October 23, 2001 ... I know I just want to know what would a soldier using that weapon would be called. A panzerfauster? That's the kind of info I'm looking for. Moyzan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you say "voulez vous couchez avec moi" in Mandarin, btw? (This has less to do with CM than with a girl at work...)

Moyzan Posted October 23, 2001 Author Share Posted October 23, 2001 Thanks, Michael! I'm sorry, I don't speak mandarin I speak french, though! Moyzan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceroy Posted October 23, 2001 Share Posted October 23, 2001 Dorosh, I speak Chinese but can't speak French. Email me with exactly what you want and I'll be glad to help. BTW, the woman in question is from China or Taiwan? [ 10-23-2001: Message edited by: Viceroy ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moyzan Posted October 23, 2001 Author Share Posted October 23, 2001 Viceroy, "voulez-vous couchez avec moi?" would translate into "Do you want to sleep with me?" in english. Moyzan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viceroy Posted October 23, 2001 Share Posted October 23, 2001 I guessed as much but I wanted to be 100% sure Is this a joke? Are you just trying to get a laugh or do you really want to ..... Chinese are pretty prudish in many ways. If you want to make her burst out laughing with your crudity, you could say "ni yao da pao ma?" Lit. "Do you want to help me fire the big canon!" Being a military man you might like that one. Slightly more refined would be, "ni yao zuo ai ma?" copied from the West, "do you want to make love." More subtle would be to invite her to dinner at your place and then when it's getting late say "you don't NEED to go home, you know?" ... "jintian wanshang, ni keyi bu yong hui jia...." Of course, without explaining the pronunciation and most importantly the tones, it would be extremely unlikely she'd even realize you were speaking Chinese.

Panzerfaust is indeed Panzerfaust (lit. tank fist - let's not go there) Regarding the Mandarin - has anyone seen the South Park episode where Cartman thinks he is a Vietnamese prostitute 'Eh soldierboy, sucky sucky, 10 bucks' or somefink. Still makes me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoffel Posted October 23, 2001 Share Posted October 23, 2001 Haha LOL when I read the first topics,this episode from Southpark was the first thing I thought about. Made me laugh too ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moyzan Posted October 23, 2001 Author Share Posted October 23, 2001 Hmm, I just thought of something... Did any of you tried the return to castle wolfenstein test? If so, you'll know about the Venom gun. When I asked for a translation of a light machine gun soldier, I was thinking of the venom gun. I now think that a heavy machine gun would be more appropriate... So, what's "heavy machine gun" in german? Btw, if I read what you guys wrote correctly (bear with me, I'm brain dead after reading Acts of Gord from start to finish), you would call a soldier using a panzerfaust a panzerfaust also? Allright, time to get some sleep. [ 10-23-2001: Message edited by: Moyzan ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
