Jedes sprechen Deutsches?\ Anybody Speak German?

[RaVNzCRoFT]

Ravn saugt.

I can only imagine what that must mean.

"Sprechen Sie Deutsch?" (said to adults) "Sprichst Du Deutsch?" (said to non-adults)

The 'du' pronoun is not necessarily used among younger people; although it's often used among students. Adults 'dutse' (I'm not sure how to spell, it's pronounced like 'ditz' but with a 'u') eachother as well - it's a very personal thing to do so; my teacher told me that she knew married couples that still did not 'dutse' eachother.

Anyway, I'm fairly sure that bonbon is candy, but I could be wrong.

Du = You (Informal)
Sie = You (Formal)
And yes, bon-bon is candy.

[Damorian]

Yeah, I figured out Bonbon was candy after talking to my teacher.

[The_Hushed_Casket]

Du = You (Informal)
Sie = You (Formal)

Not necessarily. My German teacher explained it to us. At least traditionally, 'du' is a much more personal thing than just informal. For example, if you walked up to someone on the street to ask them the time and used 'du,' it would not only be incorrect, it would be considered offensive. You have to know someone very well and personally in order to use it.
That's how it used to be, traditionally, nowadays it's getting much more loose; but it's not simply informal.

[gh0570fchurch]

Yeah, that's a better explanation. Normally, you would have to get permission from the person to call the 'du', and it's normally used among people that normally know people that are at least fairly good friends.
You would call your teacher 'Sie', but you would call anyone in your group of friends 'du'. Funny, we just learned this today.

Back on subject, I learned that denmark once took control of the economy of germany, and that's how the nazis began. but nowadays, it means hatred. back then, it was just a symbol of the movement.
oh and nazi is an acronym in german.
something about the above.

The Nazi party was the National Socialist party. And yeah, Germany got majorly screwed over in the Treaty of Versailles after World War I which sparked widespread unrest in Germany, and allowed Hitler to come to power. In many ways, the west holds some of the blame for Hitler's rise in that we left them completely out of luck after World War I. Luckily we didn't repeat the mistake and did a lot of rebuilding work in Europe after World War II.

Totally agreed, Hitler was totally corrupt.
oh, could somebody tell me what this means: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei.

[The_Hushed_Casket]

oh, could somebody tell me what this means: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei.

Wow, I can actually read this without a translator. It says (more or less)
German National Socialist Labor Party
