    Default German language help please

    I have a quest. I need to find the German word for an ultimate military victory. The kind where you squash the other guy to bits, stomp his bones into dust, roll the dust up into a cigarette, and blow the smoke in his mother's face.

    Thanks.

    How would you say in English? (ultimate military victory....?)
    I would translate it in 'Vollkommener Sieg'. If you want to give it a historical touch, call it 'Endsieg' (=final victory)

    My brother asked. He and a buddy heard the word and forgot it. He thought I would know.

    I don't.

    I'll offer up your suggestions and see if it rings a bell. Thanks.

    In the meantime you may take this excercise as an example and try making your own:

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    German is easy to learn, all you have to do is string one word after another. For example:

    One day the Hottentots (Hottentotten) arrested a murderer (Attentäter) accused of having murdered a Hottentot mother (Hottentottermutter), of a deaf and dumb child (Stottertrottel). The mother was called Hottentotterstottertrottelmutter and her murderer Hottentotterstottertrottelmutterattentäter.

    The police caught him and put him in a kangaroo cage (Beutelrattenlattengitterkotter), from which he escaped. But a Hottentot warrior caught him, shouting: I’ve caught the murderer (Attentäter)!

    Who? asked the chief.

    The Lattengitterkotterbeutelrattenattentäter, replied the warrior. He’s the Hottentotterstottertrottelmutterattentäter!

    Damn it! said the chief. Why didn’t you say in the first place that you’d captured the Hottentotterstottertrottelmutterlattengitterkotterbeutelrattenattentäter?

    I would probably say Endsieg. It's nice and concise, for once.

    Lol Mouza, I like that.
    Though it´s Hottentotten and not Hottentotter, but I take that as artistic freedom.

    Wink Re: German language help please

    There are a lot of possibilities to translate that:

    X. Endsieg (to much Nazi-like, forget this)

    1. vernichtender Sieg
    2. totaler Sieg
    3. absoluter Sieg
    4. glänzender Sieg

    If want to have a fitting phrase...

    Dies ist ein wahrhaft vernichtender Sieg! Das Blut unserer Feinde schreit zu uns von der Erde herauf, doch nicht erwartet uns Gottes Zorn: Es sind ihr Gold und ihre Weiber, die darauf warten... "genommen"... zu werden.

    This is an absolute Victory! The enemies Blood cries from the ground, through we are not waiting God's Anger: Their Gold and their Wifes, are waiting... to be "taken"...

    Santana has moustache and Santanette is gorgeous without any manly group of hair.. The explanation is not satisfactory after all
