Can anyone tell me who to say "free" in German? Phonetical spelling would be good. Thanks in advance, Mr. Bill P.S. I'm not giving away or getting a free German watch. This is for my dog training regimen.

If you own an iPhone or an iTouch, you can download a FREE English to German speaking translator for most common phrases. It is pretty cool. cat28.gif

Funny that you should mention if any of us speak German. The only German that I know is the Das Lied der Deutschen: Einigkiet und recht und freiheit Fur das Deutsche Vaterland Danach lasst uns alle streben Bruderlich mit herz und hand Einigikiet und recht und freiheit Sindes gluckes unterpfand! Bluhm im glanze,dieses gluckes Bluhe Deutsche Vaterland. Melody by Joseph Haydn 1732 -1809 Lyrics by Hoffmann von Fallersleben The previous lyrics used by The Third Reich was banned by the Allied Forces. Though the current flag of Black,Red and Gold had been taken into Article 22 of the West German Constitution of 1949. Under this Article of the West German Constitution,a national anthem was not specified. Chancellor Konrad Adenauer had asked President Theodor Heuss in a letter to accept as the German National Anthem,on April 29,1952. However, on March 7,1990 months before the Reunification of Germany,the Constitutional Court declared that the third stanza of Hoffmann von Fallersleben's poem be protected as a national anthem under the criminal law. Section 90a of the Criminal Code makes defamation of the national anthem a crime, but does not specify what the national anthem is. On November 1991, both President Richard von Weizsacher and Chancellor Helmut Kohl agreed in an exchange of letters to declare the third stanza alone the national anthem of the enlarged republic. On official occasions, only Haydn's music is used, and the third stanza is supposed to be sung. For other uses, all stanzas may be performed. The singing of the first stanza may, however, considered by some as an expression of right-wing or nationalist political views, depending on the context.

Golly Simon, you must be a student of German history. I thank you all for ou translation help. I was out walking my Rottweiler this evening and I require that she behave on our walks. She was heeling (Foose (sp?) means "Walk with me" as I understand it.) She responds to foose, but doesn't know what heel means. Anyway, after putting her through her paces for 30 minutes or so, I wanted to release her from her disciplined walk and let her relax for a while so I said "Frei" and she looked up at me as if to say, "Did you mean to say 'free?' " She wasn't sure if she was free or not. Pretty funny. Thanks again. Mr. Bill Last edited on Fri Aug 8th, 2008 11:22 pm by Willieboy |

I believe that your phonetic foose is actually German for foot as in fusball thus it the same meaning as heel when applied as a command to a dog.
