Ich benötige die Übersetzung. Translation Needed for Mug

Helfen Sie mir bitte zu übersetzen. Mein Freund holte mir einen Bierbecher
aus Deutschland. Ich verlor den Becher. Der Bierbecher enthält die Wörter:
"Sundicht Nicht". Ich erinnere mich nicht die an gesamte Anzeige. Ich
verlor den Becher! Ich kann nicht den Becher finden. Ich möchte die
Anzeige und die Übersetzung erlernen. Kennen Sie die gesamte Anzeige?
I live in the usa. My friend visited to Germany and bought for me an ornate
beer mug, and brought it back to me as a gift. There was a message
inscribed on the mug, containing the words, "Sundicht Nicht". If I'm not
mistaken, the message said something like "Those who drink beer are blessed,
and those who drink beer will never go to hell."
I lost the mug. I do not remember any of the German phrases in the message,
except for "sundicht nicht". I don't know what "sundicht" means. Do any
Germans here know what the message may have read?? I thought it read
something like "Those who drink beer are blessed, and those who drink beer
will never go to hell." If so, is this a common theme for a German beer
mug?
I am sorry if there is anything wrong with my post. I am sorry for my bad
German.
Danke,
Kind Regards.

I guess it愀 something along the line of "Wer (Bier) trinkt, der suendigt
nicht" because "sundicht" doesn愒 exist :)
The whole saying goes more or less like this: He who drinks becomes sleepy,
you can愒 sin if you sleep therefore drinking makes you a saint.
There are lots of variations of the saying and I can愒 say which one exactly
fits your lost mug. And yes, this is a "classic" saying. It愀 also used for
other alcoholic beverages but mostly for wine and beer.
And BTW: Your German was quite comprehensible. Thanks for making the effort
:)

Without any other knowledge of beer mugs, it could have only meant
"sündigt (=suendigt) nicht" - i.e. to commit a sin.

In dieser Schreibweise gibt es die Wörter nicht.

Could it have been: "Wer Bier trinkt, sündigt nicht, und wer nicht sündigt,
kommt nicht in die Hölle"? This is just a guess, but it sounds so familiar
to me that I must have heard it before.

Southern German dialects, however, the word "Sundich" could mean
Sunday, and the meaning would run to something like "not on Sundays".
If only we could place the whole thing into a context!

I think he missed the "Umlaut" Ü (Ue). I think a part of it meant: "Wer Bier
trinkt, sündigt nicht." Don't know about the other parts. Could be anything.

Hi Todd,
first of all you should know that your posting is more than misplaced
in this group.
Although I've no clue what this message you're searching is really
looking like, it may help you to know that "sundicht" does not mean
anything. It's not a German word.
Not sure if you're being serious at all or only joking?
Regards,
Birgit (who likes beer a lot)

Sorry, I should have read the FAQs. Can you point me to the FAQs.
I wanted to post to several ng's, in hopes that I would get an answer for
sure. (I know that probably sounds stupid.)

I was not joking. I was being completely serious. I received several
helpful replies by e-mail, as well as by ng post. As to my conclusion on
the matter, I will post them -- but not in this ng.
I did have a feeling that my post might be considered that of a troll,
because I posted to so many ng's. Sorry about that.

So having seen the message asking about the phrase on a beer mug, here is my
beer question.
A few years ago, I picked up as many of the Unterlagen(?) (I don't know the
right word here) placed under beer mugs in many countries in Europe. In
Germany, I found one that had a funny sentence that seemed like proper German
but in translation into English makes no sense:
"Lieber eine Runde im Lokal als keine Duenne im Bett."
Ich zeigte diese Platte einem deutschen Gastwirt in Kanada - er las "eine"
statt "keine' und fand den Satz sehr sinnvoll.

Als Gastwirt muss er so denken ;->
Im Allgemeinen ist "keine" sinnvoll, IMHO. Der Spruch ist eine anzuegliche
Variante von "Lieber einen Spatz (sparrow) in der Hand als eine Taube
(pigeon) auf dem Dach." Er lebt von der Doppelbedeutung von "die Runde":
a) eine Runde Bier im Lokal,
b) eine rundliche Frau,
und dem Gegensatz zu einer schlanken Frau, einer "Duennen".
Es bedeutet, sich lieber mit Freunden im Gasthaus aufzuhalten
als ins leere Bett zu gehen.
Mit "eine" hiesse es, lieber in der Wirtschaft zu trinken als sich einer
Bettgefaehrtin zu widmen. Das ist meiner Meinung nach nur für Gastwirte
sinnvoll.

As others have already noted, there is no such word (Sundicht) in German.
I'm reasonably sure that the word that you are trying to remember is
"sündigt", or "suendigt". The only German saying that immediately springs to
mind is: "wer schläft, sündigt nicht". The approximate translation would be
"If someone is sleeping, he can't sin!" or "He who is sleeping can't get
into any trouble". Nothing to do with beer-drinking.

I'm interested in the misspelling. Am I correct in thinking that the "g"
in "suendigt" is pronounced by many people with the ich-laut? If that's
the case, then what we're seeing is probably a phonetic misspelling.

Hi, Mark,
you are right. The "ig" or "igt" at the end of a german word is often
pronounced with the "ich(t)"-laut, not by correct speakers but by the normal
speakers like Joe Doe.

I have to say that for a native English speaker it's very hard to
distinguish (when speaking, or when hearing someone else speak)
between -igt and -icht, or between -ig and -ich. Neither sound really
occurs in English so differentiating is difficult!

I惴 happy to hear that you have same problems with German language like I

It愀 only a question of training, German is not hard to learn, I惴 able to

Actually my biggest problem is with prepositions. I always try to use
"auf" when it should have been "an", "für" when it should have been
"bei", and so on. (My German teacher says she has the same problems
with English prepositions, and she's lived here for decades!).

Hey, me too :-)
Also, ich will den vorangehenden Absatz übersetzen: Mein
schrecklichstes Problem ist mit Präpositionen. Ich sage immer "auf"
anstatt "an", "für" anstatt "bei", u.s.w. (Meine Deutschlehrerin
sagt, daß sie das selbe Problem mit Präpositionen auf Englisch hat,
und sie hat seit Jahrzehnten hier gewohnt!).
Did that sound like a three year old? Please feel free to correct
as necessary :-)

No changings are necessary for understanding.
But in a better way:
"Also, ich will den vorangehenden Absatz übersetzen: Mein
schrecklichstes Problem sind (statt "ist mit") Präpositionen. Ich sage immer
"auf"
anstatt "an", "für" anstatt "bei", u.s.w. (Meine Deutschlehrerin
sagt, daß sie das selbe Problem mit Präpositionen auf Englisch hat,
und sie wohnt seit Jahrzehnten hier (statt "hat seit Jahrzehnten hier
gewohnt!", wenn sie noch bei euch wohnt)!"
To be honest I write and speak German only like I think because I never
understand the rules. But most of my business partners confirmed that my
German is on a good/high level and mostly correct. So I can give help to
write and speak in a correct way but can not explain why something is wrong
(except: A German don´t say it in such way.).
But my wife told me that she has same problems with (English) prepositions.
