Nein Halt(my newest song)

xmountainxlionx · 06-20-2011, 04:30 PM

For some reason the youtube video isn't showing up

www.thespanningtree.net/music/nein-halt for the song/video!

thanks.

Vid ain't showing up because your video ID is wrong. I tried putting it into a url, but it says it's "malformed." You probably forgot a hyphen or something. In fact, I just tried adding a hyphen and that's exactly the problem

Nice btw

Unfortunately since I'm at work I can't watch the vid - makes me curious tho, as to why its "titled no stop". In German. Without the gramatically required comma.

My mother tongue is German, so if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask

Halt means stop in German, but its an imperative verb. Like "You there, stop immediately". It does mean "stop", but it cannot be used as a noun. In your intended use, it would be shouted like "Nein, halt!", meaning "No, stop!". "Nein halt" doesn't exist in this form, and is usually spoken with a slight pause (where the comma comes into play).

Grammar Nazi out.

lol, I guess my short little phrase was lost in translation! I mean't it to be more like don't stop, or no stopping.

The company I work for is based out of Germany, so alot of our software is in German, and I can kinda read it. Sometimes though I get thrown for a loop and run to google translate.

Uh... in that context, a negative form is actually not used. It would be more like "go forward" or something along those lines. Oherwise... "Kein Stehenbleiben", meaning no standing still.

Song is cool tho :P

I've very limited knowledge of the German language, but I understood it to mean "nonstop"

nonstop in German means nonstop. Yeah we borrow a lot of your words, too.

Well, shit, even if I had known that, I still would have chosen "Nein Halt" for the name, just because it sounds cooler.

Do you release any of your stuff in flac by chance? I'd like to hear more of it.

Yeah thats why a lot of stuff here has English names that make no sense, but it sounds cool. We even take an English word, make it a verb, and germanify it.

When I studied German in high-school, we spoke a lot of "germanglish." Basically, if we didn't know the word for something in German, we just took the English word and added whatever we thought sounded like German conjugation, etc.
