Hi all!
We are two Dutch students, currently in our high school senior year. Now, before we get our diploma we need to do an essay about a self elected subject. Our subject is national anthems (Nationalhymnen) and of course we're going to discuss several national anthems including yours, Das Deutschlandlied!
We're having a survey (Umfrage) in different languages to see what people think about their own national anthem. Now is the thing that we also want to have a survey in German, however our German isn't well enough to make a representative survey. So now our question to you is if you would like to take some time to translate our questions and answers for us? We would really appreciate your effort!
If you want to know more or have a question for us, feel free to ask!
Here are our questions and answers needing a German translation, (please note that we really need a correct translation!):
Do you know your national anthem by heart?
Yes, I know all the verses.
Yes, I know some verses.
No.
Do you think that children and teens are supposed to learn their national anthem either educated by their parents or school?
- Yes, I think it's important for kids to be educated well about this tradition.
- No, I dont think this is relevant.
Does your national anthem appeal to you?
- Yes, it does.
- No, it doesn't.
Why does your national anthem appeal to you?
- It gives a certain sense of unity/togetherness.
- The text appeals to me.
- The music appeals to me.
- It appeals to me because it is an important tradition to me.
Why doesn't your national anthem appeal to you?
- I think it is too patriotic.
- I don't like the content of the text.
- I don't like the music.
- I'm just not the person for tradition.
On what occasions do you sing your national anthem?
- I never sing my national anthem.
- Sporting events.
- National holidays.
- On other occasions.
Do you think your national anthem needs renewal?
- Yes, the text desperately needs to be revised.
- Yes, the music is too old fashioned.
- No, it is good the way it is.
Thank you for your time!
