fcuco Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 I love that expression, "danke für die Blumen", the literal translation is "thank you for the flowers" but it is more something like "thank you for the compliments" . What I love about it is that it is more used with a bit of irony, like when someone gives you a back handed compliment or tells you something bad about you. I love the irony twists because german idioms are usually very rigid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katharina Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I like the expression, too. They use it in the German intro for Tom and Jerry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
