"Sie sind sehr schon. Weissen Sie dass?"

You see, I'm reading "The Girl I knew" by J.D. Salinger and he gave the translation of every german phrase/ sentence he wrote except for this one. Help me...

Thanks!

  1. "You are very beautiful. Do you know this?" Is the correct translation.

    That sounds like a book that I would enjoy reading, I will have to pick it up.


  2. ´´Sie sind sehr schon. Weissen Sie dass?´´ is no german..

    Sie sind sehr schoen.Wissen Sie das?

    if dass can be replaced with jenes,dieses, welches it must be das with one s.

  3. that means You are beautiful.Do you know that?

  4. You are very beautiful. Do you know this?

    Kind regards

  5. You are very beautiful. You know that?

  6. Yes, it means you are beautiful. Did you know that?

    Note that unlike English, German has two words for our "you." Sie (always capitalized) is a "you" one would use out of respect to address, an elder, professional superior, etc. The second is du. Du is used for addressing peers, close friends, and such. A close friend, or lover, would say: "Du bist mir schon." I.E., you are beautiful to me. Also, schon in German includes an umlaut; In English it's schoen.

  7. Correction in the sentence:

    Sie sind sehr schön (schoen). Wissen Sie das?'

    - You are very beautiful. You know that?

    However, when fooling around with friends, that will sound very formal.

    Better: Du bist sehr schön. Weisst du das?

  8. It means: You are very beautiful. Do you know that ?

    And the correct form in German is: Sie sind sehr schön. Wissen sie das ?

  9. It means: You are beautiful.Do you know that?

  10. It means - You are very beautiful. You know that?
