No german would ever talk like that. Correct would be "Sie dürfen keine Feuerzeuge mit ins Flugzeug nehmen" (You are not allowed to bring lighters into the aircraft).

I’ll try:

You allowed not one fire thing with into flight thing bring.

[–] Successful_Try543@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

That would be: Sie dürfen nicht eins Feuerdings mit in ~~hinein~~ das Flugdings hinein bringen

The hinein from 'into' is optional in German. Better would be:

You may no firegear with in the flightgear take.

Thanks! My German isn't that good. I've been studying it for four years but sometimes it feels like we're getting nowhere.
