GATSBY LE MAGNIFIQUE
Holy keks, why has French to be such a contrarian meme-language?
because it's a different language.
You could actually do Le grand Gatsby tho
>>9304912
That's exactly why French are retarded
>Der große Gatsby
German is truly the ugliest of yurop languages
>>9304900
>Große Gatsby
>Not Toll Gatsby
>>9304941
What?
>>9304946
Toll = Great. Some may mistake Große Gatsby for 'Big Gatsby'
>>9304955
German is my first language, and "Toll Gatsby" is an awful title. "Der Große" doesn't only refer to physical size and everyone is aware of that
>>9304962
But why not use more precise words?
>>9304971
"Der große Gatsby" is both precise in the german meaning and accurate to the english version, I don't see a problem with it
>>9304962
Nevertheless

>The Hangover
LE VERY BAD TRIPFFF
Fuck the eternal frogs
>>9304977
Because Toll wants to be a word too.
>Пpecтyплeниe и Haкaзaниe
>Crime and Punishment
>Delitto e castigo
>Crime e Castigo
>Crimen y castigo
>Schuld und Sühne
>Crime et Châtiment
German sounds lewd
>>9304989
It can be, but in its original meaning not in the newer sense where all it means is "cool" or "good"
>>9304997

I'm pretty sure it's Verbrechen und Strafe nowadays. Sounds a lot more prosaic.
