    3. My Oxford German Dictionary shows "gegen�ber" as meaning opposite, therefore I agree with Henry Benoit's message.

    3. I'm not sure why I'm getting a different result this time, but the engine at http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_txt now gives me "opposite" for gegenüber But it still gives me approximately for gegen and over for über. This doesn't make any sense that the two words joined have changed the original meaning of both. carl lentz wrote: > My Oxford German Dictionary shows "gegenüber" as meaning opposite, > therefore I agree with Henry Benoit's message. > Carl in Texas > > >> [Original Message] >> From: JK <[email protected]> >> To: <[email protected]> >> Date: 4/15/2009 1:29:35 PM >> Subject: Re: [HESSE] Photogs name >> >> I'd like to get additional thoughts on the location noted in the ad. >> >> I have a second translation that says: >> Residence ‹ across from Fisher's Factory >> >> When I use translation software, I get "approximately over" which >> doesn't agree with the first two translations.

That's because the compound word now has a different combined meaning not found in the two root words. This happens in English too (which is Germanic language after all), e.g. "wherewithall". > This doesn't make any sense that the two words joined have changed the > original meaning of both. The original meaning of the two separate words has not changed. Combining them together does change the meaning of the new combined word. It's a very common semantic phenomenon. If you plan to delve more deeply into German records and newspapers I'd recommend investing in a paperback German-English dictionary. Any good one will do; Ernest Thode's German-English Genealogical Dictiomnary has been particularly helpful to me. Online translators like Babelfish and Google's translation tools are not 100% reliable, as you've seen. Regards, D.L. MacLaughlan-Dumes http://sakionline.net/familypage

    3. Generally speaking there is no 1:1-relationship in translating single words, even if the languages involved are so closely related as German and English. Instead of babelfish, I recoomend http://dict.leo.org a tremendous German-English dictionary. You will be amazad how many different meanings the words "gegen", "über" and "gegenüber" may have. And if gives you some examples and context. Carl ----- Original Message ----- From: "D.L.
