Nothing special, you may say? I agree with you in most times. You see them almost on
\nevery fair, even at parties they appear more and more. So why this blog entry then if
\nthey’re not so special? Since these gingerbread-hearts get manufactured by machine
\nmore and more, all that has to be done, is the sugar-frame and inscript to be applied to it.<\/p>\n

Mostly this is done by manpower. “I love you” and such things are most common texts you may find on these. But what happens, if the thesaurus of the people applying the texts to the gingerbread-hearts is limited or in many cases “filled” with wrong spelling of words or even wrong syntax?<\/p>\n

Well, to answer that question, you’d have a look at these images. I will state the sentences right, and highlight the mistakes so that you don’t have to puzzle what’s wrong in them.<\/p>\n

Thanks fly out to Pianoman who sent me those pics!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“D\u00fcck<\/span><\/strong> mich”? – The inscriptor probably meant “Dr\u00fcck mich”
\nTranslated into something like “Squeeze me”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“Du bist Alles f\u00fcr Dich<\/span><\/strong><\/em>” – No grammar error but probably a heart for Egoists.
\n“You’re everything for you” this translates into…
\nIf you give this to your girlfriend or your spouse, it would better say
\n“Du bist alles f\u00fcr mich” – “You’re my everything!”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“Ich bin immer f\u00fcr dich ga<\/strong><\/span>” – Probably it should be “Ich bin immer f\u00fcr dich da”
\nHmm… did the inscriptor think of Lady Gaga? Noone knows for sure…
\nTranslates into: “I am always there for you”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“F\u00fcr meine gro\u00dfe Riebe<\/strong><\/span>” – Should probably be “F\u00fcr meine gro\u00dfe Liebe”
\nHelp me out here: What on earth is a “Riebe”?!
\nAnd what was the inscriptor thinking of when he wrote “Riebe”?!
\nTranslates into “For my big Love (person)”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“Ihr sind<\/span><\/strong> die Besten” – Should probably mean “Ihr seid die Besten”
\nThis inscriptor seems to have no clue how to use grammatical person in german correctly…
\nTranslates into:\u00a0 “You’re the best”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“Ich leibe<\/span><\/strong> Dich” – Should probably be “Ich liebe<\/span> Dich”
\nSeems, that the inscriptor had the “Boggle-Syndrom” and switched letters…
\nTranslates into: “I love you”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“Fleig<\/strong><\/span> mit mir zum Mond” – Better say “Flieg mit mir zum Mond”
\nI guess it’s the same inscriptor as above…
\nTranslates into “Fly to the moon with me”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“Nim<\/strong><\/span> mich” – Should be “Nimm mich”
\nThe inscriptor took the prompt by word and ate the second “m” I suppose…
\nTranslates into “Take me”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“Opa ist die<\/span><\/strong> Gr\u00f6\u00dfte” – Should be “Opa ist der Gr\u00f6\u00dfte”
\nHmm, why did the Inscriptor think that grandpa is a woman?
\nTranslates into “Grandpa is the greatest”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“F\u00fcr meine lieben<\/strong><\/span> Schwester” – Should probably be “F\u00fcr meine liebe Schwester”
\nAlthough “F\u00fcr meine lieben Schwestern” would be correct also, I don’t think
\nyou give one heart for two sisters anyways
\nTranslates into: “For my dear sister”<\/p>\n

Great material. On my next visit on a fair where these are sold, I’ll probably pay more attention to what’s on them. The pics are priceless!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
