Nein

ich will nicht
a wormic vorlesestunde is not to be missed
dann musst du halt
NEINNEIN
that actually means yes
how
that reading circle sounds educational as fuck gg
two negative words in german turns into one positive
you learn that in Level B
its the same in english but everyone does it anyway
doesnt apply to nein though
neinnein
just like no no isnt the same as not not
nur ein witz 🙄
Nudel are you a native or not im so confused
hatte so ein gefühl, aber war mir nicht sicher 😛

native german but also learning german smh
you can always learn more about your native language
learn swedish

reading circle
have fun
it'll be funner with you there you should join
funner
shh
i wont be talking though lol
ye you dont have to talk
i would love to join but at a noisy cafe
it's an adverb in this case
not the superlative adjective
🙄 😰
pls lets read
yes
geehrte Person - Person , der Ehre zukommt | Person, der Ehre erwiesen wird
why there's das before machen?
what"s the lvl of this text ? 🤔
A question that I receive from my students is the different between “gern” and “mag“. In my last e-tutoring session I could not further go into details explaining the differences, so here is my attempt to do so in my blog.
Both of the words mean ‘like’ and ‘enjoy'; gern is an adverb and mag is originally from the verb “mögen” (to like). Here are a few examples in a context:
Ich mag Sport. (I like sports.)
Ich mache gern Sport. ( I like doing sports)
business and store
i'll be back
._.
RICARDIO!
station?
I hear porn
me too
how are you native and B2 lolol
i'm not B2, i'm on the first floor 
I'm hungry now
guten hunger!! 👋 🍖
thanks for session!
lol hardcore weeb
Bye 😄
why not join the japanese learning discords
lool
how can i remember the german verbs easier because they look the same to me?
shouldnt that make it easier though?
no?
imo being fluent in more languages makes learning new ones easier ¯_(ツ)_/¯
who said i am fluent in them?
îdk, just sounded like it
also i whats hard for me is to undrstand when german talks to me
if i read it its easier
do people on this server talk often?
Ja lol
this server is rather active, yeah
100 times more active than the others
that could be useful
i wouldnt say german speakers talk any faster than native speakers of most other languages (in their own mother tongues)
yes but i have no problem understanding when native english speaker speak
practice and you'll get better 🤷
well, that's cos you're used to english
the more german words you know and the better you understand word order
we dont have enough practice in our school
the easier it'll be for you to pick apart the sentences
I find it helps a lot to watch a lot of German tv and movies. I can understand spoken german a lot better now.
are you sure you're learning german
i am pretty sure
Is it even a German word
never heard of Exilchilene
are you learning swiss german?
it means chilean in exile
how often would you use it?
pretty sure Exilchilene is a made up word or you were trolled or smth
if it's supposed to be german
its in our textbook
a name of smth or someone then?
@sinful cloak My point is that a compound word teaches you multiple words, so even if the compound word itself isn't that useful, it can be useful to learn it
i cant read the descriptions, but it does make sense actually. i brainfarted
i ca't find a translation for some reason :/
yep
still sounds kinda weird though, you wouldnt usually use that
Leberkassemmeln
Fleischkäsestulle
Leberkässemmel
that, too, does make sense, but wouldnt be used, generally speaking
Ende der Diskussion
you talk about the Burgenromantik?
@rugged cedar I recommend this JP server as well. I'm there a lot and it's easy to ask questions: https://discord.gg/QddaR6
lol
If there's a joke there I don't get it
It means there's no reason to draw a line that sepparates what should be a pet and what should be food
So you should either eat your pets as well or don't eat animals at all
If you want to be coherent
Omg raider is herr too
i’d not draw a line at all
food is food
but generally people don’t eat domesticated animals 🤔
silly vegans
ok but
they used 7 cats and dogs
So thats racist hmpf
Were are lizards and rodents and such
hmph!
I draw line behind cat
i draw no line. If you get your hands on cat/dog meat than why not eating it, they die anyway
interesting that they put rabbit before horse, considering that most people would eat rabbit but I don't think many people comparatively would eat horse
in Switzerland, horse is quite common and dogs were only outlawed not too many years ago afaik
and rabbit, yeah.. look at the french cuisine
in france, there was a whole scandal because a company sold horse meat instead of better-quality meat
yup, pan-european scandal
it was polish horse meat that ended up mis-declared
it uncovered some really nasty truths about how the food industry in europe works, again...
between horse and chicken

Wollen jeman CSGO spielen?
Ja, ich bin Deutscher
We are typing in voice chat, but the verb is aussehen.
This channel is for organized lessons.
i mean... if you just imagine that alot is a word meaning "a lot" it's also easier. a lot 👀 of these usages can be replaced with one word. much, often, loads, many etc.
"ich bin mir gerade dabei abzuwaschen"
correct ?
mir
wrong ?
Without "mir"
oooooh simply
okay
makes sense
danke
is "ich wasche gerade dabei ab" correct too ?
In this case dabei
wann sagt man "holla die waldfee"?
when you are surprised
ach so! great!
Another question: does "ehrgeizig" mean "ambitious"?
Found out it does but it seems to have a rather negative connotation because of "geizig", so it made me wonder
I dont think ehrgeizig has such a negative connotation
geizig has a negative connotation, but ehrgeizig doesnt seem to have one
OK got it
Is there gonna be a session hosted anytime soon?
apparently not. Maybe if Wormic comes online anytime soon, or if someone else hosts a lesson
My dad does 
<@&229594762762649601> reading circle in 40 min
get bamboozled
😩
Woah, those still happen?
What's a reading circle?
Hurricane prep, have to miss out this time
please be safe
Taking every precaution except evacuating. It should be here by this evening, it's noon now
Yes
Yes
Thanks
Why not evacuate, though?
It wasn't supposed to be a direct hit until it was too late to leave. Absolute gridlock on the road and I have thirty dollars in the bank
pong
Good luck
Gas stations are closed, everything's closed. It's just not feasible
Makes sense
good luck
I can't do that again D:
it'll pass quick, you will be okay 😃
I think I'll be never able to do it :(
What's a reading circle?
I hope you manage to stay safe, Mäuschen
We will
People take turns at reading a text
Wormic will post it once the session starts
but you can take a look at the pinned messages in this channel to see what was read the last times
Seems pretty do-able
Do you go through the answers together or is this just for practising pronunciation?
You translate the sentence you read, as I heard.
Ah
Yes, you read a sentence out loud in German, then give the English translation, and you can get help and you will be corrected if you say something wrong. And everyone takes turns. And then if there are questions in the text, you go through the questions too, usually taking turns again in the same way.
Mind if I listen along for a bit without joining in just to get comfortable?
And then also, if there are topics that people want to discuss, such as German culture related to the text, that happens to.
You can just listen if you like, certainly.
nobody is forced to anything
I think this is one of the best ways to learn a language tbh
Has a lot of dimensions to it
there were grammar lessons too but people have been busy over the summer ^^
So it's at 7 PM so in 20 mins now?
yes
👀
i need to calm down
I think you should start attending those grammar lessons ^^
nah : /
There are awesome teachers over there. 👌

Does anyone happen to have a list of nouns with multiple genders?
Lolol

@leaden verge Sorry, the former

Where could I get a German copy of Harry Potter 1 for cheap
?
While we're on the topic of books
the internet 
Arr forever.
And I'm cheap
oh, bummer
Which is a bad combination
i mean, you live close to the border, there should be a used version in every second hand book store in Germany
I wouldn't know where to find a second hand bookstore in Germany, but that's a good suggestion. I'll look out for one, next time I'm in Germany
Perhaps they have it at the library?
amazon
Amazon!
I'll get it at the 2nd hand bookstore
I'll be in Germany somewhere next week anyways
I have it at home but can't read it yet
I remember this great German video about Harry Potter
I think it was Harry Potter und der Zitronenbonbons
I also have it in Swedish
Harry Potter und ein Stein
Or smthn
The first real german YouTuber got famous with a parody of the movies
Dumbledore verteilt Bonbons, die Hogwarts, aber ganz besonders Snape, ins Verderben stürzen! MP3 Download: Mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/?7qi1xacne95ei...
This
Is the translation okay?
yes, that is the youtuber i was talking about 😄
I always hated the Norwegian translation
she is still around and has never monetised her channel
The thing is I can understand and read German, my heart just starts pounding like I'm on steroids whenever I have to speak
Or have to do correct grammar
the german translation is ok i think, i've never read the english original so i cannot really make a comparison
Fuck grammar
the translation is okay
it's a bit direct from English so it doesn't read like other German text
you did well though 👍
I heard the German translation is like 100 pages longer
Thanks
@boreal zealot Heh, might make it easier to understand
depends on the font ^^
I have a gigantuous swedish version because it's the only one i could buy from germany
You know Swedish?
trevligt
a little bit, i learn it on and off ^^^
@quartz otter ... if you're familiar with the book, it can be, but Rowling's long-winded English sentences are extra long and now with more wind
det finns många som talar svenska på den server här
yeah, I picked Harry Potter especially because I'm already familiar with it
I've read it in English and Dutch multiple times
Jag är på den också ^^
@fleet zenith #other-languages is in Scandinavian most of the time
@boreal zealot what man knows every germanic lang? lel
You can bet your ass there's some folks who can
well, he's competent in german, but not 100% fluent
Yeah I know, but you're my Nederbrüder, not?
;)
Oh wait shit
Taalvolks
The absolute madman
Is there a word documet or something where all the links to previous texts are collected?
oh wait they're still pinned.
nevermind
Idk about that he worked with the Stasi
He also personally speaks German with Austrian and German politicians
Oh this isn't the general. Woops
hallo
are we having a reading circle today?
hope so
<@&229594762762649601> reading circle in approx 45 min
They post a text and we take turns reading/translating sentences
I would listen but I'm shy to speak
You can
@boreal zealot everyone gets a notification. That wasn't just you 😉
no
thank god
@white arch people are welcome to just listen
nemoses
yeeees?
How often is it done and how? I'm just restarting my learning so nowhere near ready to take part
you happen to have the link for the site we used last time
I think I just screened it
but did I post a link at some point?
Wormic you scrub
you never sent us the link
fck
RIPRIP
Should be in your browser history
? Atunez u ok?
unless you delete that
it should, but I'm on a new pc
Oh wow
henbruas and i had the same idea it seems ^^
Sounds good, I might join if I'm done with what I'm doing by then
Can't say that without giving specs
What is a learning circle for learning german?
1 pc
1 screen
1 keyboard with buttons
1 mouse with buttons and a wheel
HoubkneghteS - heute um 19:14 Uhr
They post a text and we take turns reading/translating sentences
You missed the DAC or whatever that is
i didn't know what it was
i thought of a Wii first
it's the router
the specs of the PC are: ryzen 7 1700 (overclocked to 3.7GHz)
RX 480 8GB
16 GB of RAM that should run at 3200Hz, but I'm still having trouble making it do that
one 1 TB HDD
one 250GB SSD
aorus AX370 gaming k5
I heard there was some trouble with Ryzen and RAM speeds. Have you updated your BIOS?
yea
I mailed gigabyte support
I've tried pretty much everything
from XMP to changing the timings
Maybe the RAM is just bad? Considered RMAing it?
lul 🚪 👈
jk
nah, the ram should be good, but it just locks it at 2133Hz for some reason
I still have 16GB of it, just need to figure out how to get the speed to where it should be
the monitor is the real deal tho
27" 1440p IPS 144Hz Freesync
Sounds expensive
Is it prebuilt?
i doubt it, they dont prebuild pcs with that good component selection
<@&229594762762649601> reading circle starting now
Kreygasm
@spare needle I built it
owo
how that works?
That's dope
my mic died shit
brb

Will be back in 1 min
@wind marten you sound tired dude
I am a bit, yolo
Afk at the moment

Not all of it
very popular in Germany
i mean, it is a german book so ^^
He writes them himself.
Danke
Wormic. 11 Jahre. 
Like, it's when you have several favorite books?
What do you mean Flappy?
For Lieblingsbücher.
@wary atlas Make sure to make @fierce wren speak on the mic.
By whatever means necessary.
🔪
😦
You can read some after the unterricht if you want, Flappy. 😄
But you should try the unterricht.
Well, I would be sleeping. 
Oh.
p o l y l i n g u a l
And on Sundays it's quite hard yo have free time. Like I'll sleep in 20 mins.
please go to sleep
Sounds okay, Wormic. Thanks for the lesson. 😄
Danke Mann

spielerisch deutsch lernen
Tau ist beiden 'dew' und 'rope' ?
das Tau rope, der Tau dew
See also
Wot?
Phi*
No, not phi. 🤔
It is pi in Turkish, I am pretty certain it is the same in English.
Phi is a different greek character
Phi: often used to symbolise the golden ratio (1.618...):
tau can be golden ratio as well apparently
although why would you need to represent 2π with tau? is that normal? (in the example above, if it is that)
yes, there are some people who favour writing U = r*τ rather than U = r*2π but it does not really make a difference
Steve Mould (tau) and Matt Parker (pi) go head-to-head. More links & stuff in full description below ↓↓↓ See our tau video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83...
interesting, didn't know that 👍
For the record, I prefer pi.
I agree, better for making puns.
Golden rateo is bae
If you know sacred geometry
Because you know how nature creates itself in part
And you perfectely learn proportions
What's the difference between danken and sich bedanken?
As far as I know, there are no differences in the meaning, but there are differences in the grammatical usage and slight nuances in the when to use which of those words. "danken" is also less often used i think.
"sich bedanken" is reflexive and intransitive.
"danken" is not reflexive and transitive.
Example sentences in the perfekt tense to show the differences:
"Ich habe mich bei ihm bedankt" The object needs the verb "bei" because it's an accusative object of the verb, that is not an direct object of the verb.
"Ich habe ihm gedankt"
A somewhat actually used phrase:
"Ich danke dir"" - "Thank you, (I appreciate it)"
If you want to use that kind of word, I would recommend using "sich bedanken", because "danken" might sound odd in some situations.
@kind willow
Thank you 😃 @ivory karma
<@&229594762762649601> sorry for not mentioning it earlier, but no lesson today, have school stuff to do
we have lessons O_O
^
reading circle*
i need to get in on the next one
oh I was worried I missed it but I guess not
lesson = homework o.O
homework = death
😮
I would love some HW tbh
no lessons = no homework
no homework = no death
Homework isa very gude
^^^^^^^^
@wary atlas ello 😄
243 riight?
Why did you do this to me? 
I thought the reading circle was in two ours
@wary atlas
Two hours from what?
From now
Sorry though, I couldn't remember who all else wanted to join otherwise I would have pinged.
Like at midnight for me
It's 10pm for you now?
Yes
Ahh, okay. The time it started is 8pm for you.
Hmm
@quick grotto It was meant to be midnight, these veadinhos wanted to start earlier though =_=
Lol
Ahh, I just went by the time you told me for my timezone, sorry. 😦
What time did I tell you? 🤔
10am. And also "the current time" of the time we were having the discussion.
Aren't you in sydney timezone
🤔
Oh I think I screwed up then
It's midday in sydney now
So you're 12 hours ahead
14 I mean
Hahhah amazing
Yeah, noon here now.
Sorry Green money
monkey
We'll continue next weekend though, we just read a couple of pages
We can always do it the later time for the next one.
But if it's later kelsey can't join
Ohh.
It has to be even earlier actually
Friday?
Friday I get home a bit late
o
Well about 8 pm
We can always do it the morning time for you guys. 😄
Yeah that'd probably be the only way that everyone can join
Kelsey afternoon
And you night
Lol
What why
But it wasn't my fault =c
lul
Hahah
Sorry I'm retarded
Lol you don't know me
gonna drop it here
Actually it was my fault lol I screwed up with the timezones
@wary atlas Can you do it 2 am

Theoretically
😂

I can do it at any time between 6am and 8pm (for starting times).
That gives you 14 hours to choose from.
Whoa, you must wake up early
I actually do have to wake up at like 3-4am some days.
What day are we doing it?
8pm at night for you is like 6 am here 
But those days I'm going to uni.
8am at night...
8 am night?
Lol
no sense
Shush 
xD
Hahaha
I see, you're a man of culture aswell
No wonder he messed up the timezones
@runic valley my respect for you just got really high, coffee is love
yea
6 am is too early
And yet I'm expected to be on at like 2-3am to read German. 😒
what about like 9 am to us?
😂
Lol
2-3am is easier than 6
Ok, let's be reasonable
yes
Could be earlier for me
Why isn't 6am for you fair? ☹
Because waking up at 6 am on a weekend
Because it's saturday 
Lol I wake up at 5:30 even on Saturdays
I have classes from 8 am to 12 on saturdays
Oh, you have school right?
Macaco you have serious issues mate
Yeah
yup, Macaco
Shh don't say it out loud
Lucas Macaquinho
can we do it sunday?
Uiuiui
Hahhahah
I have the whole sunday free
Now everyone thinks I'm a 13 year old
But sunday is monday for Base.
Ja, it's just past midday Sunday for me.
Base you said that 6 am is no problem for you, right?
what's the time difference again, 11 hours?
14
There's no way we can make it work lol, not to mention with kelsey
Yeah, today's time was pretty good.
I agree
Not for me though haha
Macaco spends too much time in la playa
Lol
kkkkkkk
So you mean like right now time?
yea
But I'm disposable
Oh, that time is bad for Kelsey is what Krpyiyk said.
aw
Yeah
We could make it a rotating time or something though.
Yeahm it's like 4 am there methinks
Like different each weekend.
Kelsey > macaco
Maybee
Maybe we could 2 reading sessions
one at morning for us, which is when I'm busy
and one at the time we did today
which is when Macaco's busy
but will kelsey be available on the morning shift
?
she will, right, cause it's like 11 am
It's not going to work I'm afraid
rotating?
Yep
Lol
🤷
Once my semester is over I can do more btw. Like December onwards.
But just not before that.
This is getting a wee too complicated 😂
Vestibulares 👀
Hahaha I see
December will be my month of hell
Well, I'll just run the same one what we had today and people can join or not.
Well
If that happens, I'll sure join
It's real bad that we can't make it work, though
The 6 a.m. could work for me if I just get up earlier
yes maybe
cause I leave 7h20
If we had two suns, it would be more feasible
Yes.
Yeah, we're doing it as I'm having breakfast
okay we can try that one
oh
We're dead to Krpritk anyway. 😦
I'll try to get up
Lol
