Konflikt
who knows german…?
I’m pretty much a beginner in German and i’m stuck when i had to translate the second part of the following sentence:
Euer Konflikt ist keine Überraschung, denn am Rande bemerkt, darüber wusste man schon.
(my guess: your conflict is really not surprise, because by the way, man could already know it. oooor something like that. )
The German construction “man” is quite hard to translate, as there is no real 100% equivalent in English.
“man” doesn’t mean “Mann” as in English “man”, but something like “one”.
Have you ever heard the Queen say something like “One is not amused”? In German you could translate that as “Man ist darüber nicht erfreut”.
Other ways of translating “man” is “they, you” or to use a passive sentence:
Das hat man mir gesagt: That’s what they told me. / That’s what I was told.
So etwas tut man nicht: That just isn’t done.
So, your sentence could be translated like this:
Your conflict is not a surprise, because mentioned in passing, it was well known already.
Your conflict is not a surprise, because mentioned in passing, they knew already.
Your conflict is not a surprise, because mentioned in passing, it was well known to everyone already.
Just pick the one you like best. ☺
