Forget your worries/we just know you'll love it Explanation: so many possibilities! C'mon! Forget your worries with snowtubing! or We bet you're going to love it! We just know you'll love it! This is what I get from it, because they are so confident that it is going to be so good, if you don't like they'll go to hell/get lost, which won't happen because it is just SO good: i.e. we'll drop dead if you don't like it -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2010-11-14 20:49:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- da legst di' nieder is also a kind of "wow, well I never" colloquialism, so maybe something like "wow c'mon! we just know you're going to love/gonna love snowtubing" or something like that -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2010-11-14 20:51:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- snowtubing rocks! we just know you're gonna love it -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2010-11-14 20:53:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think that's my best effort:) |
