[Dachs]

Latin in the sig, translated loosely, means "In times of great change in history, Razgriz is resurrected as a great hero". It's an Ace Combat 5 reference.

 

[spryllino]

Amazing grammar, Dachs.

 

[Dachs]

Obviously it's not a word-for-word translation because that would look less cool. Plus, I'm not the one who wrote the song, Keiki Kobayashi is.

What is ASOUE? I got the quote from Rome: Total War.

 

[Yared]

"Jag är fan bäst." = Something along the lines of "I am the best" but with a mild profanity in there to emphasise the superiority, while giving it that edgy feel: "F this I'm THE best". From a sketch I like.

"Han som spar, han har." = "He who saves, he has."
It's a Swedish proverb. I like it for how it conveys in a short, rhyming manner that saving = posessing. I also like it because of the untold implications that saving leads to you to actually gaining something.

"Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago."
A lovely quote by Warren Buffet about starting something today to reap the benefits tomorrow, rather than putting it off

 

[Love]

I love grotesco!

Henrik Dorsin is a genious.

(but let's not get off-topic here )


BTW: "fan" isn't exactly something I would get infracted for using on a Swedish forum. Trust me on this It means devil.

 

[Earthling]

The one quote is by Schiller, means "against stupidity, the Gods themselves contend in vain"

Still working on a new avatar perhaps.

 

[madviking]

French: "Il suffit que je sois bien malheureuse pour avoir droit a votre bienveillance."

[Flying Pig]

The one quote is by Schiller, means "against stupidity, the Gods themselves contend in vain"

Still working on a new avatar perhaps.

I read that in the start of a very good novel by Isaac Asimov, named The Gods Themselves.

[Yared]

"Herr Mannelig herr Mannelig trolofven i mig
För det jag bjuder så gerna
I kunnen väl svara endast ja eller nej
Om i viljen eller ej"

It's from an old Swedish ballad. I can barely understand it myself...

"Sir Mannelig, Sir Mannelig won't you marry me
For all that I'll gladly give you
You may answer only yes or no
Will you do so or no"

It's a translation I found on Wikipedia. Personally, I'm not 100% sure that the translation is that correct, but it'll do.

"Morere!"

I think it means "Die!!". Imperative singular second-person Latin.

 

[Atticus]

I'm not sure, but should it be morire?
