Nien. "Don't KNOW that." Wisse = know, kien = no. Aber sicherlich
das wisse du doch.
Gruess,

Nien. :-) "Das *weißt* du doch." (That was slightly embarrassing.)

And you'll be even more embarrassed when I tell you that it is "Nein"
and "kein", not "Nien" and "kien" ;-)

You found my spelling error. You may keep it.
And what is "Nien"? Suaheli? :P
Anything to say about the topic? No? Fine.

"Hakenwurf" or "Bogenwurf"!
"Hacke" is "heel" or a garden tool.
>> jab, fake and go
Literally "Vorstoß, Täuschung und los".
I can visualise this movement as typically for Basketball, alas I don't
know a translation.
>"Hacken" or "Wackler" or "Lauftäuschung"
"Haken", too...
Ciao,

Well, in a small way. (What is your term? "Jein"?) This was a
spelling issue. I can't even spell correctly in English, so I'm not
too embarrassed by that, although I don't sometimes spell "no" as "on"
in English. :-) "ie" and "ei" are also a little "confusing" in
English, but I don't think we are as "exposed" in English by improperly
switching "ie" and "ei" as one is in German, so the chances of truly
being embarrassed in German I think is much higher. In English,
"receive" and "recieve" for example are perceived (another "ie"/"ei"
verb) as roughly the same and merely a spelling error. In German, the
difference between say for example "ein lied" and "ein leid" is quite
significant; I'm sure there are even better examples where the
"embarrassment index" would be higher -- I can't think of any because
by German vocabulary is so small right now.
But thanks anyway. I don't believe one can learn without jumping in,
though maybe a little more reserve should have been shown on my part.

Only one thing: I better learn to spell "ie" and "ei" words CORRECTLY
in German, or I am liable to find myself much more embarrassed down the
road in another situation than I was here, depending on the word. I'm
sure you would agree.

Since I mentioned it, can anyone provide a better example of a word
disparity in German where the "ie" and the "ei" are switched?
Something that would be REALLY embarrassing...
I don't want to start a new thread for this; I'm merely curious since I
brought the topic up, if someone has a good example off the top of
their heads. I can't think of one single instance in English where
swapping "ie" and "ei" in a word wouldn't be perceived as merely a
spelling error and nothing more.

That would be scheißen (to shit) instead of schießen (to shoot).
The problem with this type of misspelling is that Germans do not expect
it. Even if they identify it as a mistake, they tend to find a similar
sounding word. And /ie/ sounds *very* different from /ei/ in German
ears. So they'd try to replace /ei/ by /ai/, /eu/, /äu/, but not by
/ie/, and they'd substitute /i/ or /ih/ for /ie/. Next guess would be to
insert or replace an adjacent consonant. Then they'd search for a
foreign word and understand /rien/ as French.
Here is an incomplete list of words which differ just in ei/ie.
Beine/Biene, deinen/dienen, Fleiß/Fließ, gießen/Geißen, Keifer/Kiefer,
Keil/Kiel, kein/Kien, Leib/lieb, Leid/Lied, meine/Miene, Meise/Miese,
Neider/nieder, Reife/Riefe, reimen/Riemen, Reise/Riese,
Scheiben/schieben, scheinen/schienen, scheißen/schießen,
schleißen/schließen, schreien/schrie[e]n, schweigen/schwiegen,
speien/spie[e]n, speilen/spielen, Spleiß/Spließ, steigen/stiegen,
steil/Stiel, Steiß/stieß, treiben/trieben, Weise/Wiese, zeigen/Ziegen,
zeihen/ziehen, Zeile/Ziele.
