What does this mean? Could anybody please tell me what does the following sentence mean? It is an excerpt from the novel 'Tintenherz' by Cornelia Funke. I read it to practice German 'Meggie konnte sich nicht entsinnen, ihn je gehört zu haben, und doch klang er vertraut, wie eine ferne Erinnerung, die nicht recht Gestalt annehmen wollte' Here is my translation: 'Meggie could not remember she heard about him, and he seemed familiar, like a blur memory,... ' I am Vietnamse and English is just my second language, so please let me know if I made a mistake in English, too. Thank you very much for stopping by :)
