Anybody speak German?
Permalink Closed

I need help with German wording. I'm getting my future BIL and SIL a German Christmas ornament (she's German) for their first Christmas as a married couple. It comes customized.

In English, the personalization would be:
John and Mary
Christmas 2007

So in German, would it be:
John eir Mary
Weihnachten 2007

Is this proper? I don't know any German so input would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

I didn't find "eir" in my german dictionary. I think "and" is "und"

I don't know German, but I used a translation website and this is what it came up with:
John und Mary
Weihnachten 2007

This is how I would word it.  I studied German for six or seven years (it was awhile ago).
