Quote: ian_w @ September 17 2008, 11:33 PM BSTMiss Finckelgrüber, what is the purpose of ja, in a sentence like "Ach Ian, dein Pimmel ist ja riesig!"
Also, what does that sentence mean? I heard it a lot while in Germany but didn't understand!
When else do you use ja in this sense? I asked my cousin once and he told me to forget it and just try not to use it, but if it sounds more natural I want to at least try to grasp it.
Das ist ja alles reiner Unsinn...
Warum? 
Wernstrum!!!!!

Vielleicht sollst du ein paar Deutschstunden nehmen ....? Dann waere alles klar.
Jolanta, ich habe keine Ahnung, was du meinst. Du kannst es mir gerne erklären. Man lernt ja nie aus!

Aaron owns the copyright to that one. You'll have to ask him. 
Edit: Too late. I recommend Tommy Power for legal representation. 
Too late! Moohahahahaha!

A thousand thanks, O high priest Brown.
My German teacher Miss Maher always liked me because I was good at the pronunciation of German words. However I learned bugger all about the language. Notwithstanding, I'll attempt to write a sentence in German which I'd love you to translate. Here goes...
Hi. Ich heisse Lee. Meine wienerschnitzel ist sehr gut. Es ist sehr, sehr kleine, unt sehr haslich. Meine vater ist eine prostituierte und meine mutti geruch wie ein Landstreicher. Ja. Oh ja, ja. Meine schwester ist eine grosse pumpernickel. Ja.
