German posters are also welcome to post, to expose the language differences between the Germanic regions.

I would offer to translate into Swabian German Tongue

Please translate the following Pinzgauerisch dialect into Swabian and High/Standard-German:

Quote
"Znaxt hob i ma an nojn Combiutta kafft - de Grafikkoscht bzw. da Büdschirm woa owa hineg und nond hob i'n huseg zrugg gem und hob mei Göd wieda zrugg griagg."

English:

Quote
"A while ago, I have purchased a new Computer - but the graphics card or the monitor was broken and then I quickly returned it and received my money back."


Standard German: "Vor einer Weile habe ich mir einen neuen Computer gekauft, aber die Grafikkarte und der Bildschirm waren kaputt, also habe ich ihn schnell zurückgebracht und das Geld erstattet bekommen."

A Swabian would say something like (written as spoken): "Vor a Weil han I mir n Kombjuudr kaufd, ober d' Grafilkard end dr Bildschirm warad fudsch, also han I's zagig zurück bracht und d' Kohle z'rückgriegd."


Side note: I think the word broken is mostly used in a different context than in German (kaputt). Americans and Brits mostly would say something "doesn't work" or is "out of order".

I also like how there are 3 different German words in 3 different German dialects so far for the English word "broken/doesn't work":

Pinzgauerisch: hineg or hinig (we often just say "hiiiii" in short)
Swabian: futsch or fudsch
Standard German: kaputt

Another Swabian word is "heh".
