I read a book today and it had these two phrases in them.
"Fahrweiter, schnell!" and "Mach schnell" These two phrases have something to do with driving a team of horses, or maybe directions, but I dont know... I know this is obscure, but could some one please try and translate this? Aren't their some Native Germans on the forum? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Would you mind me asking what book you're reading? I'm looking for simple books to read as well.

Thank you all so very much! :). That was so quick!
@adoggie, It wasn't a language book at all. The book was called Forgotten Fire, its a story based on one boys experience during WWI, as an Armeniad fleeing the Turkish prosecution and genocide. Everything was in English except those two examples and one more, "please" in Armenian. I enjoyed the book a lot, and recommend it to anyone who is interested, but be warned, its a survivors storie so yes there is some harsh stuff in there. 1 person has voted this message useful |
