Of course! That's great news for your friend. Let's break down the German text to find the answer. Based on what she said, **there are 3 new baby kittens.** Here is a translation and breakdown of her message: * **Original Text:** "Omg!! hast du mittbekommen was Lisa auf Insta geteilt hat? Ihre Tatze hat 3 Junge bekommen - die kleinen sehen sooo süß aus. Ich will auch eine Katze :(((" * **Translation:** "OMG!! Did you see what Lisa shared on Instagram? Her cat had 3 babies - the little ones look sooo cute. I want a cat too :(((" --- ### Detailed Breakdown: * **"Ihre Tatze..."**: This is the key part. "Tatze" literally means "paw," but in German, it's a very common and affectionate term for a cat, similar to "kitty" or "pussycat" in English. So, "Ihre Tatze" means "Her cat." * **"...hat 3 Junge bekommen"**: This translates directly to "...had 3 young/babies." * "hat ... bekommen" means "has had" or "got." * "3" is, of course, the number three. * "Junge" is the word for male babies or the young of an animal. In this context, it's used as a general term for "babies" or "kittens," regardless of their gender. (The gender-specific term for kittens would be "Kätzchen," but "Junge" is very common, especially when talking about a litter). So, the phrase "**Ihre Tatze hat 3 Junge bekommen**" clearly means "**Her cat had 3 babies/kittens.**" ### How to Congratulate Your Friend: Since she is clearly excited and a little envious, a warm and enthusiastic message would be perfect. Here are a few options, from simple to more detailed. #### Option 1: Short and Sweet (in German) > **"Oh my god, yes! I just saw it! Three little kittens - that's amazing! Congratulations to Lisa! They are absolutely adorable."** * **German:** "Oh mein Gott, ja! Das habe ich gerade gesehen! Drei kleine Kätzchen - das ist ja toll! Herzlichen Glückwunsch an Lisa! Die sind total süß." #### Option 2: A Bit More Enthusiastic (in German) > **"Aww, I just saw Lisa's post! A whole litter of three kittens, how wonderful! Massive congratulations to her! I can totally understand your cat fever now, they are so incredibly cute!"** * **German:** "Aww, ich habe gerade Lisas Post gesehen! Ein ganzes Wurf mit drei Kätzchen, wie wundervoll! Herzlichen Glückwunsch an sie! Ich kann deinen Katzen-Fieber total verstehen, die sind unglaublich süß!" #### Option 3: In English If you prefer to write in English, you could say: > "OMG, yes! I just saw Lisa's post about her cat having three kittens! They are absolutely adorable. Please pass on my huge congratulations to her! And I get it, they make me want a cat too! 😂" Any of these will surely make your friend happy and show you're sharing in her excitement
