||Ich habe leider nicht viel verstanden.||
byeee
ich auch
🙂
I've got the book and the English version and I'm still struggling
it's alright rinnn
yeah, it's hard!!
Sorry, Rin, my summary is poopypants today
I liked rhe whole lesson
I liked Dudelsack
I don't believe it, but it's OK even if so 🙂
||Geralt und die Königen diskutieren über sein Beruf. Sie kämpfen mit Wörte. Sie erzählt ihm nicht welche Aufgabe sie hat für ihn.
Die andere Gäste sprechen über militarische Taktik, und der Barde singt eine Liede über ein Schlacht.
Die Königin sagt, sie verstehst dass Hexer nicht Mörder sind, aber sie braucht dass Geralt ein Gefahr wegwerfen wird. Alles ist mir gans unklar.||
this is my 3rd time here c:
last time was my first time and i really like it i got all the quizes wrong
no idea. somewhere between A1 and B1
yeah
wow, that's great AND super fast!! You were being so humble!!
im between A2 and B1
oh goodninja, i thought u were kyshe
@coarse yacht
okay baiiii
Too sad that I’m outside today while the lesson is going on
@wary atlas now you have to write a summary.
I write it as we go along, some of it
Btw I think the feeling of things being unclear is somewhat intended at this point in the story. The reader is meant to be wondering "wtf is this about".
That's a relief!
skill issue
It's like gracefully eating a jam doughnut - impossible
the chicken itself is very gracefull
hahaha
he impostor
He is smart and good, but so are you Rin
banger song btw guys
more sessions? 
av @red raven
Stop looking at girls. :angry:
snek
Will Base be there too?
chilrderns book pls
||Es ist immer angespannter zweischen die Köningin und Geralt. Herum wird alles noch chaotischer. Manche Bewerber für Pavettas Hand streiten miteinander, als ob sie Kinder sind. Ein paar nennen sich als "Hosenscheißer". Bis das Ende des Sessiones, haben sie noch nicht vereinbaren!||
HI
Hat der Unterricht angefangen?
I listened to der Herr der Ringe many times while running. and all I understood was bahnhof
Schade
@coarse yacht sorry, rather short summary today!
HELLO
Habne Sie das in leessen-resouces geschickt?
good byeee
see you fairy, have fun! 🙂
Thank you!
Geralt und die Königen diskutieren über seinen Beruf. Sie kämpfen mit Worten. Sie erzählt ihm nicht welche Aufgabe sie für ihn hat.
Die anderen Gäste sprechen über militärische Taktik, und der Barde singt ein Lied über eine Schlacht der Königin.
Die Königin sagt, sie versteht, dass Hexer keine Mörder sind, aber sie braucht Geralt um eine Gefahr abzuwenden.
Es wird immer angespannter zwischen der Köningin und Geralt. Um sie herum wird alles noch chaotischer. Manche Bewerber für Pavettas Hand streiten miteinander, als ob sie Kinder wären. Ein paar beschimpfen sich als "Hosenscheißer". Bis zum Ende der Session, haben sie sich noch nicht geeinigt!
😭😭😭😭😭 I forgot and was sleeping again 😭😭😭
wow, really fast corrections today, thank you @coarse yacht 
Thanks Rin!
I am looking forward to see you there! <3
Hi Witcher reading group, I just found out today that some paperwork that I was waiting for (and lost hope getting) were approved, meaning I can visit my home country! I'm really sorry for the late notice, but I don't think I'll make it to the next few sessions (because I'll also need to work from the office the first week(s) I'm back) 😢 I hope you'll have a good time and look forward to catching up when I can!
😊
A1
First
I'm here again 
Hii
rin is awfully excited today
I am one of the great people

GOOOOD MORNING VIETNAAAAM

Greetings 🙂

-# favoratism
you know german has completely ruined my sense of punctuation in english
I now have to use grammarly for the commas 😭
Nods nods
-# I definetly understood atleast one word
Bagpiper is a word so

😂
LeGwiP could voice an ebook and I would listen to it even if I don't understand
real
applause?
Same.
a resounding memory
B and above to read, but anyone is welcome to listen in and join in the chat
Reminder?
There you are!!! :D
I'm on holiday and not meant to be here but I thought I'd look in for a bit. Not able to read though, not without disturbing Mr Hedgie
Oh no... I miss you. <3
Doesnt Mr Hedgie would like to try? 
okie, i think imma get going, hopefully there is an A lesson that i can join with yall later. Cya :3
Bye, have a nice day. ^^
nobles
ich verstehe nix 
Mr Hedgie speaks English and a bit of French, but his German is limited to Prost and Tschüß
So he knows the most important vocabularies.
@quiet grove will Ves read?
Good job @median horizon ! That was really nice
@median horizon Yeah really good. 
so true
I can translate but the accuracy might be around 0% other than that yeah
neo is busy eating canned bread
Rin is in really good mood today, it is nice
no
but Rin is A1 in german
Exactly.
how could she read 
base lives in rin's basement i think
MORE
as she points a gun to his head again
Bekoned?
Much harder to translate into the second language
bow like cow
Yeah it is understandable. I can understand stuff in English but have hard time translating to my mothertongue
I dont understand german so its good to have that translation
vornehmen - to plan
so do as you like?
as far as you are concerned...
Oooh ok so "Was dich betrifft" becomes "As for you"
Or more accurately "As far as you are concerned"
Thanks!
dont worry rin
yes hehe, it IS hard...
i cant translate 2 words here 
with payment?
handsomly rewarded? 😂
You're good at this!
Hurt your pride?
you can pay me with a service INSTEAD I think..
What rin said was "Or you can be rewarded (monetarily) for your service"
Whereas what base said "Or you can request a reward (monetary) for your service"
you give me a service AS payment
I think he gets paid either way - there really isn't a big difference
he gets paid but with no rittersporn he doesn't get la-
ahem
the size of the difference escapes me
The enormity of the difference escapes me
No it was fine!
You did well
It was good!
@coarse yacht it was lovely to hear you read!
yay gut übersetzt
Thank you!
I just joined
I would read but I don't wanna stun everyone with my skills 
Hmm I lack all the context though and I'm not perfect with German

I am not afraid of Bottfreid
Ok, ty!
Go base!
Holy that sentence is cut in so many short parts 😭
Please don't be so perfect Base.
The the person which is bought...
Only Base knows what he is doing.
hmm
hmm now I figured out a little
XD
Can I ask a question when it's finished?
When you buy someone, you set the price, if you do a service you set the price
"dass man jemanden, den man kauft, nach eigenem Ermessen bezahlt" ETC
I'm confused on the grammar:
Jemanden den
Is someone who
and then "den man kauft"
The difference my dear is that the person which is bought after their own judgement, who nevertheless shows his service, determines the price himself
Who kauft who?
or something
Okay?
I mean "den" is the subject, it's in accusative just because it's like "jemanden"
the ", den man kauft" is referring back to the "jemanden"
warum "den man"? are people buying people? 👀
In this case she buys a service from him.
sending this to figure it out better later
I'm interested in the outcome
Nice as always Base
I am here just as mascot at this point, everyones pronunciation is too good. 
See you around.
🍓
I will replace you. 
"Whatever makes you happy, whatever you want"
We need you!
Ahhahaha... you are so silly fr. :]
Man bezahlt jemanden (den man kauft) nach eigenem Ermessen. Wer einen Dienst erweist, bestimmt selbst den Preis dafür.
My pronunciation is ok (maybe not today but generally), but the problem is my understanding lol
We need you too!
Thank you Rin. 
The difference, my love, is that a person, who you buy, you pay at your judgement, but someone whose service you buy, determines the price themselves
crazy sentence 😭
The concept in itself is confusing xDDD
i think ive run out of energy now 😭
Mäussacks is a person?!
Not my ahh thinking it was a sack full of mice 😭
durchdringend - penetrating, piercing
🤣 Ahahaha...
splitter der Krebsschale - shards of the crab's shell
normal people go to a bar but rin goes here 😭
omg so right!
The sack of mice waited without even turning an eye to him 😭
Lider = eyelids
Rittersporn would've eaten the mice instead of whatever there was on the banquet table
lowered his eyelids

good work Rebel 👍🏽
Well done, Rebel. We only know the words when we look them up!
I won't be here till the end!
Nooo...
And I missed the beginning, and I don't have my books with me to be able to look back over it
I am in Bath! It's lovely here
No, it's right by a great cycle path though
We managed 8 whole miles yesterday!
Well, nearly
We might need to get ebikes
Nice. I would like to bike agian.
Hii i would love to translate but i am a little busy now can i have the PDF please !!
I want others to read
Sorry, we can't give the pdf. Piracy is not allowed.
I'll read again sure, just need a few mins
LeGwip? again?
Okay accepted
Yay, LeGwip and yay tea!
isn't it written with an i - paige?
Page.
plaits, braids?
It is indeed "page"
A young male attendant in a historical context, often a servant or messenger.
reached below her belt
surely "gem"
a precious stone
artistically crafted
yeah, ornate is nice, here
"ornately crafted" would fit here
links of a chain, chain-links
Nicely done Rin
I have to go, I'm glad I could listen in today, great to see you all, Tschüß
got my tea, I'll do a little more
laters Fairy
Have a nice day!! 
@snow geyser We need your summary.
i didn't think I would be writing one 😭
Ban... literally.

Wörter
e
Windhalm von Attre ist 12 Jahre alt xD
WTH...
I thought that you were German!
Yes, I googled some characters last time xDD
I thought that too a long time ago and then I joined this sessions...
Like that?
Now I'm lagging : |
Googling German words ❌
Googling characters ✅
oh, so this is why no one looks at me at the dinner table 
yay base write summary
title it the basesummary
Das essen ging weiter, und die Königin war gefragt, um die Prinzessin zu erscheinen. Geralt bemerktet wie viele Verschiedene Ausdrucken die Königin hat. Die beide redetet über den Dienst, den von Geralt gebraucht war. Die Königin war geheimnisvoll, und einfach sagte dass Geralt soll es einfach ausführen, abgesehen davon was es sein würde - natürlich in einer gefährlichen Manier. Währenddessen sah Geralt Mäussack an, er hat durchringende Augen und aß unhöflich. Dann kam die Prinzessin, die einem Diadem mit einer Gemme und silber-blau Kleidung trug. Sie saß am Tisch, ruhig und mit gesenkte Augen - sehr verlegen. Geralt sparte ihr keinen Wort. Die Andere sahen sie sehr genau an - zu genau.
I don't remember what we read
Awesome Session! Will this continue until the book is finished?
Ein Mann sieht Runen in Brotkrumen. Gleichzeitig gibt es ein wunderschönes Mädchen, und alle starren sie, einschiesslich des jungen Prinzes von Attre.
All I remember xDDD
Btw, I got to go, bbl, sorry
Yaay, next time
I mean disney movies have people withering to death or something idk
got to go, brazilian butt lift 👋

Hi Rin
If Base doesn't join I'm just leaving 😔
Do you have the wrong microphone on?
I can hear you
I AM LATE
Heyo!

Woah the cutie is there 
Rin got so bored of us she's just going to play Solitaire while she waits for us to finish 😔
Also hello people in chat
Choco, fairy, a handsome british man, and rest of new people
Because it's French 
Hi Kuh!
Oui

I can see the text 
oop rin you're muted
connection issues maybe?
Network issue probably

also @wispy hull TYSM for the detailed summaries you've written! They're excellent and are getting me up to speed in no time 
Lmao… I was just talking and thought I am already in stage.
Fr
Classic rin
OH THAT'S WHAT THE FEST WAS

Why does nobody just tell Geralt what they want him to do 😔
sounds good base!
Ooooh I remember who shows up now
Jaskier will 
Casca made me Play it with French dub. 🙃 but it’s good—
Wait pls tell me Rittersporn is still here 
They don’t want to.

"Just trust me bro, it will be good"

So true
The French voice actors are peak
I've seen both

French did it way better trust
I nominate apollo
Kuh what the hell 😔
me too
My throat is suddenly worse today but I mean I can
They are good ngl.
I don't wanna go first I've not been practicing a few weeks 
ooooh muscles and not brain muscle
Muscles are there to make you better at learning 😔
gonna have to muscle in on his gym time
Felix has gone crazy. 4 hours of Gym
to pull him back here
Dw this just means when he injures himself he'll be back with us for weeks on end 
Guten Morgen! Missed you!
It's choco! yay!
Please tell me there aren't more words like Tuirseach in this 💀
Pretty sure that is the worse word here. It has been hurting me for last 4 lessons
A bit more
😭 Wait so that is actually a word and not a name
What does it mean
No no it is a name
Doesn't exist in my dictionaries
Oh phew
I could hear everything
We heard you just fine yea
Then it’s on my end. :)

I am relying on you to please have technical difficulties every time I use an umlaut
Bescheidenheit - humility?
yeah maybe modesty
Good morning. 
Moin 🐈
Klotz - oaf!
Diaper-wearer
That was another word.
A funny word
Yes.
Wait where's Lolo 
Left a long time ago. You are not up to date.

Choose?
fall in love with?
get engaged
It could turn out that your will is not sufficient
Is your will not sufficient to guarantee it on its own? or smth
Wait… I was really helpful for once?


Witcher dialogues from Geraly go hard when talking about Destiny
Well done Chocoloco 
Good job Choco!
Ty everyone! I'm a little rusty lol
Is Kalanthe another word play on a flower or smth
Nicely done Choco
you're always helpful rin!
Oh awesome 

Oooh that is nice detail
this writer sure loves his flowers lol
Everything regarding Cintra was related to flowers... I think
ooh a type of orchid
I can read and translate
YEEE APOLLOOOO
Would like is a strong word
If you do the "pop out" function in discord, you can maybe make the text a litte bigger
im late im sorry
Eine frage des preises eyyy roll credits ahaha
I was about to type that
It's lovely to hear Apollo talking in sessions again 
Felix is possessing Apollo from the gym
umlauts galore
Welcome. :)
Riva? 
maybe "utter"
I think it was the other way around. Lmao.
Apollo and I both being rusty after coming back to the witcher sessions after a break 🤝 (I think you're doing great Apollo!)
You are both doing good.
Woooo title drop
tasten - touch
MOROCCAN LEATHER yeah I would not have gotten that
That is VERY specific word what da hell
I don’t even know that in German.
You're doing a bloody sight better than I could @ashen timber
I only know of rich Corinthian leather via deadpool 
you did very well apollo!
I would not have had a clueeee
"Saffianleder gepolsterten" thingy
Good job Apollo. I knew you would do great
Yes
I've almost completely avoided speaking / reading German for months now so ya it's a bit of a jolt 😭 You did really well though
It is upside down for Base
Yeah that was the joke.
Are they talking or is my Internet dead
they are talking
Your internet died mate
Oh fuck
das Heft is a handle?
OH I LEFT THE CALL
LOL
I thought a booklet or s'th
I've done that before too lmaoooo
Heft {n} [fachspr. od. geh.] [Griff von Dolch, Schwert od. Messer]
They were saying you did good and most people would not have known the word
The leather thingy
Doubt 
kk nice
Even rin didn't know it
I'm so disappointed Skyrim in German didn't teach me Heft 😔
But she is A1 so its fine
I find it interesting where a word in german is a word in english but with totally different meanings. Like heft is weight of something in english
Saffianleder is probably Fachsprache as its about a specific type of material
A1 and a native spanish speaker, so impressive 🙂↕️
It was clear from the context.
isnt a heft a type of book
kind of like egyptian cotton towels I guess - like a known product but not everyone knows it
Fair fair
Never heard of that before
example A, folks /lh
like a folder or a file
yeah, pamphlet
like this?
ja, an exercise book
what verb does "fohlten" come from?
I heard foltern for a sec 😭
fohlen
ooh Austria mention? 👀 🇦🇹
so it's "der Fohlen" like a baby horse, made into a verb?
Ba-by horse dudururu
das Fohlen.. hm ok
To foal = to give birth to a foal
I would guess so! it's not commonly used in english too but if you deal with horses / farms you'd hear it more
Is it like one of those literature-y word that you usually don't hear in everyday life?
ich fohle immer
i'd say more specific word than literature - you'll hear it more with farming imo
Oh fair fair
allmählich - gradually
i've only heard it used a handful of times
I can’t remember seeing it before.
yeah , here it's angry or mad
evil
allmaehlich boese so "Gradually getting angry"?
More common is kalben for cows.
mad works in american english, in british we'd say angry
yep, i've seen that too in english. Same with lambing for lambs with lambing season
steady
Yes it’s used with cows only.
oki
I want you to have a steady hand
maeussack 👀
is Pavettas a name?
I have trouble knowing which are proper nouns in German, with all the capital letters
Pavetta is the princess yes
is she
So Pavetta is named after some weird looking flowers 
short on time today, I gtg, GL & HF @ll !
Makes sense.
Cya around @median horizon !
ooh very fair point
Oh no you should have read first! Have a great day! :)
Have a good one mate 
reminds me a little bit of white spider lillies
Ciao LeGwiP! thanks for joining!
Oh no! I wanted to hear you read!
Same. I am his fan girl now. 😔
Who was the guy that had my voice
That one.
I see now why rin laughed!
😁
"the mares are foaling better than the stallions"!
It’s so funny.
Good job Fright!
That was a really hard bit
Get Beep to read
I shall disappear to work. Good job everyone, thank you for the lesson!
He's lurking
bye, kuh, and have a nice day
Fairy did not this is true 👀
I'm keeping quiet
bye Kuh!
Have a good one bro 
YOU CAN DO ITTTT 📣
Don't worry fairy, I too have lost a fight with a butterfly in the past!! they are scary 
versuchen = to try, attempt
so versuch is the attempt
vorlegen says to submit
in dictionary

reading is easy but translating is a tough one with this text many new words
True.
it's something we all struggle with. this is where the magic of vocab growth happens - through struggle 😁
in school ive never gotten a text such as this they were made with much simpler words
my dictionary says to dither too for schwanken or fluctuate
i gotta write in german in school and the rule to not use a word multiple times cooks me perpetually
At least we aren't reading LOTR 
Matura Texte 🥀
VERY WELL DONE FAIRY!!
Well done fren 
🍪🍓
hard at the start, but useful at the end! you'll get there
question base-
so have they returned to eating so they aren't there whispering the whole time?
and so people don't get suspicious haha
brill thank you
Thank you
Thank you.
Beep must read
ok I just woke up but sure
It's only fair
Of course.
YEYYY

Me?
Beep lesgooo!
Go go go
It took me a while to sort out how to see the chat and the stage and how it all works
hearing about a mouse's sack like
lollll
yh I can read
Ooh Beepy is a clear speaker! very nice! 
Very good pace and clear pronunciation!
It's good beepy
I can’t help with that.
You've got this beepy!
Counts
Graf = count, Herzog = duke, König etc.
i typed in grafen (forgetting dative plural) and got graphene LMAOOO I knew that wasn't correct
vengeful?
Sorry what did I miss why are we talking about vengeful stoic grandmas now
there's always one in every story lol
last time we had a pretzel grandma
Lmao… right.
ich frage mich selbe ob ich den hand hoch oder nicht stellen sollte
wrinkled brow?
yep furrowed brow is used often in books in english
go for it
What?
OH THAT'S WHAT LEHNE WAS
omg gerald of rivea???
Why
with wrinkled brow 😔
LOL…
rin grammar question in german could you say 'eyes fell upon' as in a lot of people are looking at something?
i thought Wuchs was wax?
Alle Augen waren auf sie gerichtet…
I need to find me the language where "eyes fell upon" just means a bunch of eyeballs falling on something
No wachs.
enamelled?
This one is significantly harder than Am Rand der Welt
It really is
Greaves?
oof greAVES
😭
Beinschienen - greaves
I've read too many fantasy books ahaha
oooh old pointy style helmet
15th century i think? noice
Damn a lot of material for the concept artists in this description 😔
Wait were these guys in the Witcher games?
@digital yacht That was impressive
slay
Well done 
Mmmm oke
That was kinda scary... lol.
