German translator - Luther

[kingneb]

Howdy ya'll.

I'm currently in a discussion with someone and we've been fussing over the definite article "the" not being translated in Romans 5 and elsewhere. It appears that Luther did, but I don't know German. When i cut and paste it into an online translator, it translates "the" as i expected, but these online tools aren't perfect.

Can anyone comment on this German for me and whether or not words like "die", "dem", and "der" are the definite article "the"? It appears to be so, i just don't know for sure. Me know no german... derrrrr.... lol... THanks!

yep...it's where you would use "the" in English....the german article does have male, female and neutral forms and changes with the case (we've got 4 of them) so that's why you get different forms of it - like der, die, dem,....

hope that helps

be blessed <>< and welcome to the forums
