German-speakers: need help |
|
Phrase I ran across:
Die Liebe ist die grosste Kraft, die alles schaft
Is this what it means?
Love is the greatest power, penetrating all
Or am I off-base somewhere?

Love is the biggest power, who can do anything
LOL
Edit : my english stinks though : it's probably "which can do everything", not "who"...

7. As a German teacher I agree with this translation |
|
however (please forgive me for this), the nit-picker in me must point out that the word 'grosste' must have an umlaut on the o (ö) because this form of the word is in the superlative form. One-syllabled adjectives which have an a, o, or u must be umlauted when used in this manner.

6. I tried Babelfish first |

It didn't like the "Schaft." So I came here.
