[ashen timber]

[late echo]

Okay so it means: The furrowed forehead of the Ältesten glistens from deep thought?

Or something?

[low cosmos]

Grammatically it's not actually that awful but the vocab is really really obscure

It's like Fachsprache for fantasy nerds

[supple lichen]

Ich glaube ich habe nicht genug gehört, bin erst vor 20 Minuten angekommen… Aber 2 Personen reiten und unterhalten sich über was sie gerade erlebt haben

[ashen timber]

Alrighty lemme try, please excuse the bad grammar

||Rittersporn ist zum Anfang in einem Gasthof mit Bieren eingegangen, worin die Menschen des Dorfes und ihren Ältester sich in einem langen und erfolgslosen Gespräch mit dem Hexer fanden. Als sie endlich herausfanden, dass er Hexer war, haben sie ihn den verschiedenen Ungeheuern in der dörflichen Gegend beschrieben: Alles mögliche gibts, was vom Elfenland hinüber gekommen ist, was diese armen Bürger quält. Der Hexer glaubt jedoch, dass nur ein einzelnes davon tatsächlich existiert: Ein Vampir. ||

[coarse yacht]

*dem Ältesten
*Von seinen Geschichten über die Ungeheuer.

[ashen timber]

Das sind ungefähr drei Sätze

[late echo]

This was a great session! I'm looking forward to the next sessions!

[coarse yacht]

Very good!

[gilded ore]

I really liked it. I like fantasy! It's too hard for me, but that's OK when it's interesting

[low cosmos]

I can't give any thoughts because I didn't even really understand my single paragraph

[coarse yacht]

I will not read that, BAN.

[ashen timber]

What the hell

[coarse yacht]

Lol.

[minor pike]

Wow! 👏

[coarse yacht]

Send DM I correct it later. lol.

[ashen timber]

It will take ages to correct, sure

[gaunt bison]

Dürfen einer von Ihnen uns den voll Text schicken?

[topaz bone]

When they say 3 sentences but you thrive off malicious compliance xDDD (great description though!)

[coarse yacht]

I am nice.

[ashen timber]

That was pretty good yeah

[ashen timber]

I interpreted that as three sentences in the style of the book

[late echo]

I'm gonna find my own copy, if possible, so I can mentally prepare for the next sessions

[ashen timber]

A sentence in this is like a paragraph long

[coarse yacht]

We should ban him, right?

[wary atlas]

Der Letzte Wunsch by Andrzej Sapkowski

Der Rand der Welt

[ashen timber]

It said Am Rand on the original page and then Der on the thing

On your prep page it said Am

[minor pike]

But the summary was super helpful! 😄

[ashen timber]

Yeah

[honest flicker]

Das ist bei den meisten deutschen Büchern der Fall 😂 dank der Reflexivität der deutschen Sprache

[low cosmos]

The German was too easy! I'm gonna read it in Polish, watch me

[late echo]

If y'all don't see me in the next session, it'll be cause I would have fainted from the sheer range of Wortschatz in this book

[gilded ore]

Vielen Dank, das war sehr interessant. Ich hoffe wir können später mehr lesen

[ashen timber]

[minor pike]

hellooo!

[low cosmos]

Some guy walked out of a tavern, met an old village leader, he learned about all the demons (I wonder why I remember this part the most)

[ashen timber]

Geralt was basically discussing with a group of villagers whether there was any work in the area, after quite a lot of claims from all of them he decided that none of it was real except for a vampire and they rode onwards.

[honest flicker]

enter town, briefly entertain bigoted views of townspeople on elves, leave in a huff and ride away (presumably in search of monster who actually exist)

[rough mist]

I'll be back in a sec to see u fail

I just have to fill some documents

[honest flicker]

bruh 😭

[topaz bone]

we stopped as jaskier starfted playing

[ashen timber]

Früher als das @coarse yacht

[topaz bone]

and waving to the girls

as they were riding on horseback

[honest flicker]

we stopped after Dandelion waved at some young women

[ashen timber]

Yeah

It's Geralt

[honest flicker]

yes

the next paragraph

[minor pike]

@ashen timber are you camouflaging with your new name

[ashen timber]

"Geralt", sagte er plötzlich

That's the new part

[ashen timber]

Wow everyone knew my intentions so quickly

[hot sedge]

[placid perch]

[hot sedge]

Viel Erfolg beim Lesen an allen

[coarse yacht]

Probably not it is for B2 level and upwards.

[honest flicker]

'why is it'

[low cosmos]

''es liegt daran'' = it is because / the reason is

[honest flicker]

ye

why is it that people come up with ones that don't exist

[topaz bone]

ausdenken = dream up idea of something?

[honest flicker]

sich ausdenken, yes

[hot sedge]

Great!

[ashen timber]

||"Geralt", he said suddenly. "But there are monsters. Maybe not as many as in the past, but they are there. They exist. So why, then, do people imagine ones that don't exist? And more so, why do they believe in that which they've imagined? Hm? Geralt of Riva, you famous witcher? Have you not questioned the reason behind it?"

"I have, you famous poet. And I know the reason."||

[low cosmos]

Apollo and Lolo should read everything

[honest flicker]

I like that they rizz each other up like this

[ashen timber]

Fuck no

My voice is dead

[coarse yacht]

That’s what you always say.

[honest flicker]

yeah then he comes on mic with like radio announcer voice

[ashen timber]

It's usually true

[hot sedge]

Don't leave me out

[coarse yacht]

Sure.

[coarse yacht]

So true!!!

[low cosmos]

vorkommen = to occur / happen / appear

[honest flicker]

get drunk

[topaz bone]

volllaufen = get really drunk?

(get plastered / hammered)

[honest flicker]

defraud

[placid perch]

[honest flicker]

verprügeln is beating up

[hot sedge]

Beat up someone

[low cosmos]

lolo is a walking dictionary my god

[honest flicker]

[topaz bone]

Lolo definitely is, not gonna lie, I'm looking most of these up in the dictionary

[hot sedge]

Fork?

[honest flicker]

👨‍🌾

[hot sedge]

Rip fox

[coarse yacht]

[ashen timber]

||"I'm listening."

"People" - Geralt turned his head away - "gladly think up monsters and monsterous things. That way, they themselves feel less monsterous. If they let themselves go; cheating, stealing, beating their wife with a belt, letting the old grandmother go hungry, stabbing a trapped fox with a dung fork or pricking the last unicorn* in the world with arrows, they gladly believe that the Mora which goes from house to house in the early morning is still worse than them. That makes it easier for their hearts. It makes it easier to live [with themselves]."||

[topaz bone]

einhorn = unicorn

[honest flicker]

🦄

[topaz bone]

that one I did know 😄 (the last unicorrrrrnnnn movie)

[ashen timber]

I actually misread it as Eichhörn[chen]

[hot sedge]

||I think beating their wife fits better than the woman here||

[ashen timber]

Arrows

[ashen timber]

Yeah I think you're right there

[honest flicker]

skewer the unicorn with arrows

[hot sedge]

Nooooo

Unikebab

[coarse yacht]

Poor Unicorn….

[ashen timber]

Well done Saya

[hot sedge]

Super

[topaz bone]

Well read Saya!

[low cosmos]

the ''vorkommen'' part was odd to me

[minor pike]

Hoo that was hard

[placid perch]

thank you saya

[low cosmos]

Genau, Base

[honest flicker]

they appear to themselves (sich selbst vorkommen)

less monstrous

[low cosmos]

ah, that makes sense. I'm used to ''vorkommen'' meaning ''to occur / appear'' but not to themselves

The ''selbst'' part makes more sense now

[ashen timber]

Lolo

[topaz bone]

Let's go lolo! 😄

[hot sedge]

Los gehts

[placid perch]

appear is also erscheinen no?

[ashen timber]

Erl?

[low cosmos]

MEIN VATER

Alder ohhh

Oh wait really that wasn't so bad

[hot sedge]

Am ersten Blick hat dieses Wort wie ein Rechtschreibfehler ausgesehen

[ashen timber]

[hot sedge]

[coarse yacht]

That was the difficult part. @low cosmos

[wary atlas]

Alder.

[topaz bone]

[low cosmos]

[ashen timber]

Chocoloco geht als nächstes ich bin doch kein Feigling

[coarse yacht]

I Hope so.

[topaz bone]

I volunteer as tribute 🫡

Reaching the crest of the hill?

[low cosmos]

''Idyll'' I know is a kind of poetry and is also a name of musical pieces

Means ''love'' or ''romance''

[topaz bone]

An eye opener? literally, but in english that's not a good thing

[gilded ore]

What gender is Beifall?

[coarse yacht]

Der Beifall.

[hot sedge]

Three lakes?

[topaz bone]

Okay that means something else. 💀

[hot sedge]

Oh

[wary atlas]

Stockente

[hot sedge]

Oh well

[low cosmos]

Dämme = dams. I know this word from ''Weltende''

[ashen timber]

Such a beautiful green

[honest flicker]

bundles of wood. From the 'fasces' of ancient rome, I'm guessing

[ashen timber]

Bohlen are like big old planks or smth

[ashen timber]

Ahhh

[honest flicker]

nutria?

[ashen timber]

Mönche is monks?

Idk

I'm guessing it's just a species

[coarse yacht]

Yes. But I don’t think in that context.

[ashen timber]

Yeah I guessed

[honest flicker]

munter usually means 'awake'

[wary atlas]

Don't ask me how tf that works but that's what a Mönch is.

[honest flicker]

but I guess here more like 'lively'

this paragraph is crazy. Like 25 new vocab words.

[ashen timber]

Schilf are like reeds I thought

[ashen timber]

Fr 😭

Anlegestege?

[low cosmos]

Prayge Sadge

[coarse yacht]

What does it mean?

[topaz bone]

Like a travelling abrd I think? a performer

bard*

[minor pike]

Is it just a bard?

[coarse yacht]

Ja makes sense.

[wary atlas]

It's a bit more broad than that.

[honest flicker]

spotten has a negative connotation, like say it scornfully

[wary atlas]

Troubadour is a bit like a travelling performer.

[topaz bone]

Like they'd travel and compose, says from 11 - 1300s

[low cosmos]

A composer and poet from old Occitan times (around the 1100s)

[honest flicker]

relaxed pace

[coarse yacht]

[teal egret]

[honest flicker]

[wary atlas]

Schecken.

[topaz bone]

Like a dappled horse
