as long as it's active, so technically forever if no one removes it

[nova crown]

How come, that you learn german? I know trough school, but you could have chosen to learn spanish or other languages @fierce wren

[hexed plume]

because it's been lately so difficult for me to understand any text...

[fierce wren]

Because I loooove German so much

[nova crown]

lol

[fierce wren]

I took Spanish as a 3rd language

And because I wanted to learn a language which is reputed to be "hard" :^)

[nova crown]

wtf

[fierce wren]

and I don't think German is that hard

[ruby ocean]

learn Mandarin

[tranquil escarp]

Learn Hungarian so we can see you do 239402340234 different cases.

[nova crown]

trennbaren Verben*

[hexed plume]

since i don't get to practise much. If I practised more, i'd may do...

[fierce wren]

[nova crown]

[ruby ocean]

no, they don't, the barbarians

[desert vault]

lol

[ruby ocean]

it's when you put a comma before an "and" basically

[desert vault]

[ruby ocean]

in a list of words or clauses

[nova crown]

just few people

[ruby ocean]

some people

[nova crown]

[hexed plume]

[desert vault]

aufessen is to eat up

[wary atlas]

To eat it all.

[ruby ocean]

[wary atlas]

[heavy wadi]

die Bewegung

yup

Flappy knows her -ung words

[fierce wren]

Oh I learnt that from Benachrichtigung lol

[heavy wadi]

:)

[desert vault]

floops knows all and sees all

[ruby ocean]

you'd wish

[desert vault]

:P

[tranquil escarp]

Quick Flops, think fast! Give me an -ung word that isn't feminine!

[fierce wren]

wtf

uuuh

[desert vault]

....

[tranquil escarp]

It's a good question for a learner. 😛

[fierce wren]

no idea you meme

[tranquil escarp]

You know the answer Flops.

[fierce wren]

because there's none

you meme

[tranquil escarp]

Yes, good Flopper.

[fierce wren]

yay

[ruby ocean]

flaps smart

now do masculine noun with -heit

[fierce wren]

wtf there's none either

[tranquil escarp]

Are you sure?

[fierce wren]

sure

[tranquil escarp]

WELL TOO BAD BECAUSE THAT'S WRONG

[fierce wren]

Did I fall into a trap?

[tranquil escarp]

Nah jk, there is none.

[fierce wren]

FUCK WHY

oh

you meme

[desert vault]

...

[tranquil escarp]

Now give us a word that ends with -sam. 😛

[fierce wren]

I was going to say langsam

[boreal zealot]

Ich muss gehe jetzt. Danke schön für diese zusammen lesen

[fierce wren]

o/

[tranquil escarp]

Good enough. I hoped that the switch from nouns to adjectives would confuse you.

[fierce wren]

:^)

[boreal zealot]

herz

[fierce wren]

Where are we by the way?

[heavy wadi]

Ich muss jede Woche mehrmals die Jagd auf den kleinen Ball machen und das hilft mir dabei, mein Blut in Wallung zu bringen und mein Herz zum Schlagen zu bringen.

[fierce wren]

oh okay

das Herz (nominative) - das/dem/des Herzen (Akk/Dat/Gen)

uh oh

Herzens? 🤔

I derped ooops

[ruby ocean]

just for genitive

[fierce wren]

yep

[ruby ocean]

sich vorstellen = to imagine

[wary atlas]

Danke.

[fierce wren]

sich is Dat here though

[desert vault]

Yeah

[fierce wren]

sich(Akk) vorstellen = to introduce oneself
sich(Dat) vorstellen = to imagine

[desert vault]

Stell dir das (Akk) vor - imagine this

[fierce wren]

iirc

[desert vault]

yeah

[ruby ocean]

often sich is dative when there is another object

[wary atlas]

Wow, very good, Flappy.

[thin goblet]

often sich? 🤔

[wary atlas]

My vocab sucks. 🙀

[thin goblet]

of

it's an english sentence

😱

[desert vault]

[fierce wren]

thanks Baserino ^^

😱

[fierce wren]

wait for H sound :^)

[wary atlas]

Definitely.

[thin goblet]

i just assume you have exercised a lot flops :)

[fierce wren]

well not really

[thin goblet]

🤔

[ruby ocean]

pronouns seem to overrule word order 🤔

[desert vault]

?

[fierce wren]

I don't know either, I haven't practised spoken German that much 🤔

[thin goblet]

you still have improved quite a bit tho

🤔

[fierce wren]

yes 🤔

[ruby ocean]

I wrote wirft er wieder ihn weg. but it should be wirft er ihn wieder weg.

[fierce wren]

yes imo

oh that wasn't a question

:^)

[desert vault]

Why does that overrule word order?

[thin goblet]

keep up the good work, flopsel :3

[fierce wren]

Aw thanks Solet :D

[ruby ocean]

because I would "ihn (den Ball)" to go at the end because it's the verb complement

unless I misunderstand it

[desert vault]

I don't know the rule, but instinctively I'd say that the adverb would go at the end because there it's closer to the verb prefix

[fierce wren]

oh

[ruby ocean]

I am thinking of TeKaMoLo where wieder is Te and the

and that's part of the middle field between the verb and the verb complement

[fierce wren]

Are we at aber diesmal wirft er den Ball nicht?

[ruby ocean]

yes

[fierce wren]

diesmal 🤔

oh okay let's go for translation

[ruby ocean]

what's dies and what's mal

[fierce wren]

yes exactly

this time

I am lost :^)

[ruby ocean]

Stattdessen fängt er zu laufen an. Vielleicht ist die heutige Bewegung vorbei?

[desert vault]

TeKaMoLo?

[ruby ocean]

Temporal Kasual Modal Locative

something like that

[desert vault]

oh

[fierce wren]

uf

[solar totem]

I have to go for a bit

cya guys later

[fierce wren]

[peak scaffold]

cya pal

[ruby ocean]

@full helm what was your question?

[full helm]

what is sei again?

[fierce wren]

konj 1 of sein

[ruby ocean]

it's for indirect speech

[full helm]

ah ok, danke

[ruby ocean]

er sagte, ich sei ein Pferd

[full helm]

He said A horse I am

[hexed plume]

that's when you don't write dass

[full helm]

is that correct?

[ruby ocean]

well

[thin goblet]

eh, no trist

[ruby ocean]

say it more like in English

he said, I am a horse

[hexed plume]

uy that was a question?

[full helm]

yeah yeah, thank you

[hexed plume]

not this

[thin goblet]

or i am actually not sure what you mean trist

[fierce wren]

Ich sei/du sei/er sei/wir seien/ihr seiet/sie seien Konj 1 of sein iirc

[thin goblet]

with your last comment 🤔

[hexed plume]

oh gosh xD i'm a mess

[thin goblet]

let's just ignore this

[hexed plume]

ahhh that's a past

[thin goblet]

and you focus on your exam trist 😠

[hexed plume]

so you used it with reported speech in the past ?!?!?!

yeah better butter

[fierce wren]

That's present

[compact hemlock]

du *sei(e)st, Flappy.

[ruby ocean]

you can learn this later

[fierce wren]

ops

[ruby ocean]

when you're B

[fierce wren]

I should focus on Konj 1 by the way

[hexed plume]

but it's "he said"

so it's an action in the past

[ruby ocean]

why

I am still a horse

[hexed plume]

yes, but you said it in the past

[ruby ocean]

what he said was in the past, yeah

[hexed plume]

i mean

[ruby ocean]

but the subjunctive was not

[fierce wren]

"I answer that I don't care"
"Ich beantworte, dass es mir egal sei"

[hexed plume]

he says that he is a horse - Er sagt, dass er ein Pferd ist. / Er sagt, ich bin ein Pferd
he said that the was a horse ("I'm a horse", he said) - Er sagte, ich sei ein Pferd

[fierce wren]

oh

Look at it like this

Nevermind, I am stuck

[ruby ocean]

what's the problem

[hexed plume]

i don't know if i'm getting it right

[ruby ocean]

dass can be used in both

[hexed plume]

yeah yeah

he says that he is a horse - Er sagt, ich bin ein Pferd
he said that the was a horse ("I'm a horse", he said) - Er sagte, ich sei ein Pferd

[ruby ocean]

you could do either

but they don't mean the same

[hexed plume]

Okay forget about dass

[ruby ocean]

one reports what he's saying now, one reported what he said some time in the past

[hexed plume]

is what i last wrote okay?

oh really?

[ruby ocean]

the English is off but yeah

[hexed plume]

so it's not the same using dass and the other?

i didn't know that

[ruby ocean]

dass can sometimes be omitted

[fierce wren]

^

[ruby ocean]

because the next clause is obviously the object

[hexed plume]

Yeah, I know that one is in the present and the other is past xD i'm aware

[thin goblet]

nice

[hexed plume]

okay forget it

nevermind

[thin goblet]

then my "eh, no trist" comment was correct

sweet

[hexed plume]

i think i understand myself at least

i'm in silence coz my roommate is using the microwave

and makes a lot of noice

noise

What is "Eule"? i haven't heard that

yeah i can right now xDDD

[fierce wren]

I was going to say owl lol

[hexed plume]

Well

[fierce wren]

and then questioned myself

[hexed plume]

Let someone else read

i'll let you know

[fierce wren]

oh it's owl

yay

[hexed plume]

the microwave is just too noisy

[fierce wren]

[fierce wren]

[hexed plume]

[thin goblet]

[ruby ocean]

[peak scaffold]

[ruby ocean]

[thin goblet]

smart pferdi

try to sayLeine again :P

or majestätisch

[ruby ocean]

rejected

[thin goblet]

oh, yeah pferdi

you sometimes have the same problem as base

[ruby ocean]

I said it wrong in my head again

[hexed plume]

tuten?

[thin goblet]

which might be because english is your native language

you pronounce u every so often like ü

[ruby ocean]

yeah I know, ich arbeite daran

[thin goblet]

just want to make sure you know :D

sometimes it's not obvious if you do a pronunciation mistake

[ruby ocean]

READINGBOOKMARK

PAGE 7 LINE 14

15.01.2018

[flat zealot]

What days are for reading again?

and what type of books do you read?

[wary atlas]

The reading session myself and a few others do every week is Saturday 01:00 CET (1am).

Sometimes people hold spontaneous reading sessions. Anyone is welcome to invite people to read or practice German at any time.

[white arch]

I'm really not confident about my vocabulary level, I'm afraid of joining and spending the whole time on dict.cc translating every second word

...but maybe that's actually the goal of the exercise thinking about it

[wary atlas]

Yeah, we all use dict.cc as we translate and you're welcome to take as much time as you need.

And ask if you're not sure.

And we usually discuss confusing lines, idioms, and if there's grammar that someone isn't sure about.

[tight gull]

Is dict.cc better? I usually use leo

[wary atlas]

I prefer it. Leo isn't bad though.

[tight gull]

any particular reason you prefer it?

[wary atlas]

I don't think I've ever seen dict.cc give an incorrect translation and it has almost everything I've tried to search so far.

Including phrases and so on.

[edgy marten]

when did leo give one?

[tight gull]

even for compound words?

[edgy marten]

i remember stuff for german to russian being weird but not english

[tight gull]

sometimes leo doesn't do compound words

[wary atlas]

I can't remember a specific one but I have seen it a couple of times.

[tight gull]

which kind of sucks

so you have to find the separate words within it and look up the meanings separately

[wary atlas]

With compound words, it depends, because you can kinda make words out of anything.

[edgy marten]

^

[tight gull]

i know

[edgy marten]

compounding is more of a skill than actual new words

[wary atlas]

But any commonly used ones should be in there.

[tight gull]

i know when i'm translating things for my classes, sometimes leo doesn't have some words though

not often, but every now and then

[wary atlas]

Well, tbh, best thing is to just use both.

[tight gull]

true, i would but.... it adds twice the effort

and i'm lazy

i'm actually supposed to be reading this german play right now but it's kind of annoying how long it takes me to translate it to the point where i can understand what it is saying at the minimum

[wary atlas]

Well let's move the conversation out of #lessons anyway.

[real heath]

@peak scaffold Do you mind telling me what app you're using up there?

xD

[peak scaffold]

define “there”

[peak scaffold]

Ohhh

That’s verbformen.de website

[real heath]

k

thx

[boreal zealot]

Ah

We learned verb forms like 2 months ago

Can anybody help me with pronoun ordrr

[indigo citrus]

Can someone translate this sentence
Wenn du die Absicht hast, dich zu erneuern, tu es jeden Tag. Konfuzius

(I have bunch of these sentences/citates from a chocolate box)

😄

[boreal zealot]

If you have the intention to renew yourself, do so every day

^thats very literal

[indigo citrus]

mhm

Oh, i just realized i ate a lot of them 😦
