I understand that this is an international network and that many of the people on the net live in Germany. However, historically this net has been dominated by English speakers ... therefore it would help if people spoke in English. Actually, it's a bit irritating that I can ALMOST read it. Now, if it were written in French I'd be able to read that message ...

By "kraftig" means powerful - and the question was: What computer is the most powerful in Austria?" See everytime an article shows up written in a non-english language a lot of people read it and learn a few words in foreign languages - who can say that the net isn't an educational tool ;-) Godt Nyt}r (= Happy New Year) Kim Chr.

Madsen. You must be into clairvoyance to be able to get this meaning out of what was posted. The main problem is we don't see all those wonderful accents that make European languages tick. If I try to transcribe the two little dots called dierhesis by the letter 'e' following the accentuated letter (as is normal practice in Europe if you have a dumb terminal the correct question is: Welches ist der kraeftigste Computer in Oesterreich? The answer:the Mupid, a development by the university of Vienna. As far as I know its also the only austrian computers sold in numbers. There's not much information about it except that its strong in telecommunication and videotext. For the rest Austria uses the same computers as Germany (and the rest of the world for that matter).

It looks like you need to brush up on your German a bit. Shouldn't that be "Computer" instead of "computehr"? After all, it IS a noun, and it DID come from english "computer" (check Duden's). Secondly, if you leave out "mehr" and change "kraftig" to "kraftiger" the question would start to have a little gramatical structure but would still would not make any sense. My guess is that you are trying to ask something like: "Ist das Osterreich der kraftiger Computer des Deutschlands?" or maybe "Welche Computer in Osterreich ist der kraftiger?" Again, these are only guesses. Anyhow, shouldn't this be hashed out in one of the language groups instead of here? ------- DISCLAIMER: I always did have a problem with articles in German (no, silly! not NEWS articles!) so I may have gotten the wrong ending on an adjective or two. -- Kyle Rhorer meow!kyle@nuchat.UUCP
