Hi poem isto drop to your knees for.

or a stage more intense:
is to fall on your knees for

'unbeliebable'??? I don't think so...

Thanks a lot!

Sorry, I have a Sprachfehler

Wie meinst du denn "niederknien" ?? Also im Sinne von anbetungswürdig oder im Sinne von lustig....

Don't recognise Alan DE/US's 'is to drop to your knees for' at all.

to go weak at the knees = to be overcome by emotion

"His poem - it simply makes you go weak at the knees" = it's so beautiful that you feel overcome by emotion.

If the poem is really _awful_, you'd say something like - "His poem - it really makes you want to cringe". HTH

Also, wenn es positiv gemeint ist und um Essen geht, (z.B. Dein Tiramisu war mal wieder zum Niederknien = köstlich), würde ich "divine" vorschlagen. Das passt hier allerdings nicht.

'drop to' or 'get weak at' - both are equally possible
- 'Drop to' in the sense of worship, overcome with awe, surrender oneself to, etc.
- 'Get weak at' in the sense of overcome by emotion as Blujay says.

So it depends on the context or what the author has to say.

You may drop to your knees now for the elaboration of my translation.

@bluejay(uk): "Niederknien" ist auf jeden Fall eine bewusste Bewegung, und hat mit "weichen Knien" nichts zu tun.
