A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    ah, thanks for the translation

    I don’t speak german (obviously). But in tearms of the whole “Will you go out with me” vs. “will you be my girlfiend” vs. “do you want to go out with me” or whatever, my french proffessor said something that, to me, makes a lot of sense.

    He was explaining why no english would be spoken in the class, and said that French is “not coded English, that you can’t translate it word for word (unless it’s something simple like “table”).”

    Idk if it applies to German, but the more French I learn, the more I realize that literal translation of sentences just dosn’t work.

    I swear that’s from a children’s book I read in my high school German class, “Ben Liebt Anna”. But it’s also possible I’m an idiot who just happens to speak German…….
