📢 JX issued a ping for Grammar

Message

Hello everyone. I'm going to run a Level A grammar session about present tense conjugation and nominative and accusative cases on Jan 6th at 23:00 UTC (11pm). Everyone is welcome to join.

[upper lake]

:D

[storm turret]

whomstv tho

[upper lake]

Base

[wary atlas]

Me.

[storm turret]

base is jx. i literally saw that in pms half an hour ago. big brain rip me

[boreal zealot]

@wary atlas Can I join it out of curiosity ^-^

Wait is UTC england time

[wary atlas]

It says "Everyone is welcome to join."

[boreal zealot]

True haha

Actually nvm it turns out UTC is england time and I‘ll be asleep then haha

[runic badge]

Serious suggestion: never use UTC. It is the standard but quite a few people mistake it for German time every single time. If you use a timezone that isn't German time, specifically point it out.

[wary atlas]

@runic badge Why not UTC?

[runic badge]

Because it's close enough to German time to be consistently mistaken for it

Every time someone gives the time in UTC, someone messes up

[wary atlas]

I think that would be the same for any time zone...

German time zone included.

[runic badge]

No because of you use say Pacific time then when you issue your ping on the day of the lesson it becomes very clear it can't possibly be German time

[wary atlas]

But I think that if people are incapable of looking up a time zone (you can literally just google "current time utc") then it's their own problem if they miss the session.

[runic badge]

It's not about people being too lazy to look it up

It's about people not getting that UTC isn't CET

Again I think you can use any timezone you want as long as you make sure everyone gets that it's not the German one

If wager at least 30% of learners use CET in their lives and they don't automatically check timezone differences because they live in the same one as germany

[wary atlas]

But pretty much everyone uses UTC as the standard by which they describe times. 🤔

[runic badge]

Base I'm not saying UTC isn't the proper standard

But that given this is a German server, I think a lot of people fail to realize you're giving it in a different timezone because they live in the same one as germany.

[wary atlas]

Then it's still their own problem for not reading the announcement properly.

I mean, even if I say in the announcement, "it's not German time", if someone isn't able to read the time zone, they probably also aren't going to read that note.

[runic badge]

I personally forgot multiple times btw

Well not forgot but just accidentally read UTC as German time

[wary atlas]

I think it's a bit biased to assume people would be fine with CET time but not with UTC. UTC is way better known than CET, so it's less confusing.

When using UTC, people can be pretty confident about how they compare it to their own time.

Since they already know their own time in UTC.

[runic badge]

Base

One more time

I'm not against you using UTC

As you said it makes perfect sense for learners outside Europe and africa

But these learners are already primed to check for timezone differences

Whereas if I live in the same time zone most of the server operates on, I'm less likely to think they would even use a timezone that isn't mine

Any sort of short phrase that would make someone double check is completely valid for me

Be it that's x hours from now, that's X in CET, keep in mind timezone differences or whatever

[wary atlas]

Okay, I'll make sure to always add the time from now when I make announcements in future.

[runic badge]

Thanks

[boreal zealot]

Soo

when is it in UTC 3

ah it's UTC

3 hours later

k

[boreal zealot]

I meant utc + 3...

ahh I almost forgot. I can't attend due to school

[tame drift]

In Australia, we don't have school from Dec to Feb

[boreal zealot]

huh

why

[tame drift]

Cuz it's holidays

U guys have it in the middle of the year

[boreal zealot]

ah winter break

yea yea

[tame drift]

Like the Americans

[tawdry gorge]

Base lesson

[trail eagle]

Hello, where can i learn "linked words" in german, somthing as "Look forward", "take care of" and something like that

i dont know how do i express what i need

[tame drift]

Do you mean words with prefixes/suffixes, or words that are similar

[boreal zealot]

I think you can use pass auf dich auf for like "take care of yourself"

[trail eagle]

I mean the phrases that are made from about 2 words or more

which u couldnt understand if it was separated

[tame drift]

example?

[boreal zealot]

Kennenzulernen etc??

[wary atlas]

@trail eagle These questions should go in #questions

[true adder]

ich bin excited

hahaa

[keen frost]

okay great :D

[boreal zealot]

im back whtd i miss

[wheat kite]

aaah, that's just adjective inflection here.
if you use the adjective after the noun (attributiv) = no inflection. Das Verb ist schwach/stark.
But if you're using it as a proper adjective (before the Noun) it get's inflected. schwache/starke Verben for example

[boreal zealot]

oh ok

[keen frost]

ooh cool

[dire pollen]

This lesson is just going to be present, right?

[true adder]

is it only the vowel changes that have du + es/sie/es that are the same?

Recommended level: B1+
Saturday 11th Feb - 17:00 Central Europe Time
Hallochen lovelies!
In addition to your normally scheduled reading session (availability pending), we're also be trialling something new this weekend. We'll be reading a lower level text, but rather than attempt to translate the passage into English, we'll be trying to explain what's happening in our own words using German. We'll also be trying to explain unknown words using German. Bilingual dictionaries are allowed, but we'll be trying to avoid using translations and speak in entirely in German as much as possible!

We're open to text suggestions to read and I'll be looking at some possible texts over the week, but I'm thinking maybe Das Blutenstaubzimmer if I can find a digital copy we can use.

[true adder]

anothing object* ?

lol

oh

[boreal zealot]

Who is @storm turret

Oh

[true adder]

wait

[boreal zealot]

Sunset.

[true adder]

whats the diff between object and subject

OH

OH

subject is whos doing it

object is what is being affected

or whatver

[boreal zealot]

Wait how did you even issue a lesson thing? You‘re not a mod?

[true adder]

der -> den ?

[tranquil escarp]

Everyone is a mod except you Robin.

[boreal zealot]

Oh.

._.

[tranquil escarp]

Oh and Broseidon. You and Broseidon.

[true adder]

declension?

[storm turret]

in english I is nominative, me is accusative, and to me is dative, though accusative and dative are kind of mushed together in english so there isn't a 1:1 correspondance

[true adder]

what does that mean

oh

[primal walrus]

so everyone’s a mod and a girl?

that’s cool

[true adder]

why is nominativ not? bcuz its default?

nvm. idk

haha

okay

🙂

ich verstehe

ich kuesse den hund?

LOL

[primal walrus]

yes

[true adder]

i made up some weird sentence there

[primal walrus]

think of it as the thing that’s having an action done to it

[true adder]

die lehrer esse das brot? uh oh. i dnno if its die or der.. lol or esse or isst.. gg

[primal walrus]

the thing having something done to it is the direct object (accusative)

isst

[tranquil escarp]

Die Lehrerin isst den Wassertoast. 😌

[primal walrus]

and yes it’s das

[boreal zealot]

isst

[primal walrus]

😉

[wary atlas]

@primal walrus There's a lesson going on btw in VC.

[boreal zealot]

isst das Brot

[primal walrus]

ohh rightttt

[true adder]

oh

[primal walrus]

explains everything 😂

i’d join but it’s late here 😦

[true adder]

oh oh ya lehrerin

[boreal zealot]

Der Lehrer isst das Brot

[strange valve]

Oof, working again :(

[true adder]

OH

OH

er isst das brot

[boreal zealot]

@primal walrus Speaking of, you should be asleep, it‘s 0:30.

[primal walrus]

that’s true

[boreal zealot]

Er isst das Brot

[primal walrus]

and college tomorrow 😬

[boreal zealot]

Das Brot isst der Lehrer

[true adder]

das brot isst den lehrer .. or die lehrerin

?

[primal walrus]

@boreal zealot let’s move over to #general so there’s no clutter

[true adder]

am i wrong?

[wary atlas]

Nominative -> Accusative
der -> den
die -> die
das -> das

[true adder]

i assumed since its bread. i kind of put it with the word "es"

[boreal zealot]

Das Brot isst den Lehrer

[true adder]

das brot isst den lehrer .. or die lehrerin

[boreal zealot]

why wait why does der --> den?

[true adder]

akkusativ masculine is den

[boreal zealot]

accusative = noun having something done to it

[true adder]

ok

so i need to practice simple sentences i guess

indefinite?

eine katze isst den vogel? i assumed bird is masculine. i forgot lol

[boreal zealot]

Die Katze isst der Vogel

a cat = indefinite

The what forms?

[wary atlas]

Die Katze (definite)
Eine Katze (indefinite)

[true adder]

oh

can i think

the = definite

and a = indefinite

?

[boreal zealot]

Eine Katze isst eine Vogel.

[true adder]

eine katze isst einen vogel

[wary atlas]

Der Vogel

[boreal zealot]

yes

[red marsh]

isst einen Vogel (eats a bird) oder isst den Vogel (eats the bird)

[boreal zealot]

der--> den

der --> einen

[true adder]

no

ein -> einen

[boreal zealot]

whatd you ask?

[true adder]

ich du es/sie/es wir ihr sie

[boreal zealot]

ich du es sie

er

wie ihr

sie Sie

[true adder]

wir*

[boreal zealot]

informal /formal

[true adder]

wie = how

i think

[boreal zealot]

wie = we

[red marsh]

no, wir = we

[boreal zealot]

wir*

[red marsh]

wie = how

[wary atlas]

wie = how
wir = we

[boreal zealot]

wir = we

sorry

[true adder]

ja genau

[boreal zealot]

ok

eine

[true adder]

i dont know them

[boreal zealot]

wait

[wary atlas]

ich

[true adder]

mich?

[wary atlas]

Du siehst ....

[true adder]

dich

uhhhhhh

euch?

[boreal zealot]

ich mich

[wary atlas]

Ich sehe ...

[true adder]

ihn?

[boreal zealot]

also

[true adder]

uhhhhh

ihren?

i dontk now

lol

[boreal zealot]

why was ein --> einen for Vogel earlier can i ask still?

[red marsh]

dein profil bild gefällt mir basementality, ist das geralt?

[wary atlas]

der / den -> er / ihn

[true adder]

akkusativ. ein is for masculine. so einen is akkusativ masculine

[wary atlas]

die / die -> sie / sie

das / das -> es / es

@red marsh Ja.

[true adder]

so only

der/den and er/ihn

the rest are hte same?

[wary atlas]

Du siehst ...

[true adder]

wait

say that one more time

how do i say what

[boreal zealot]

you see us

[true adder]

du siehst uns??

di siehst wir

du*

[wary atlas]

Wir sehen dich.
Du siehst uns.

[true adder]

oh

ya

ok

ja ich verstehe

[wary atlas]

ihr

[true adder]

ich sehe euch?

[boreal zealot]

du siehst ihr

[true adder]

does that mean you see him?

oh no. him is ihn

not ihr

[boreal zealot]

oi?

[true adder]

du siehst ihn is you see him right?

i think

i keep confusing myself with

ihn and ihr

[red marsh]

du siehst ihr isn't quite right

[wary atlas]

der -> den

[true adder]

ya i remember this one

[wary atlas]

er -> ihn

[true adder]

i just need to remember this. er/ ihn

ya 🙂

[wary atlas]

I see them.

[true adder]

ich sehe sie

[wary atlas]

@red marsh We're doing a lesson in Lessons VC right now.

[true adder]

😛

[red marsh]

@wary atlas darf man solche bilder hier posten?

[wary atlas]

Ja.

[red marsh]

cool wollte nur fragen

[true adder]

i accidentlly looked at ur picture and looked at dativ

then changed it

ya

ich verstehe

i just need to practice 🙂

[boreal zealot]

i have a question about earlier why ein -> einen for Vogel earlier?

[red marsh]

ein Vogel would be the subject of the sentence. einen Vogel would be the object of the sentence

[boreal zealot]

oh ok

[true adder]

i hvae a question

how do i write something like

[red marsh]

think of the difference between "He" and "him" in English. He is the subject, Him would be an object. In german the word for "the" changes in the same way

subject = Nominative, object = Accustative, in terms of the chart i posted

[true adder]

you are an amazing teacher? . bcuz isnt the ein / einen based on the object? but what happens with amazing

like

du bist einen amazing lehrer. idk what amazing is

[wary atlas]

Das ist der Hund.

[true adder]

oh

[red marsh]

with "to be" it actually remains nominative. so it'd be "du bist ein amazing lehrer" you were right the first time 😉

[true adder]

super? 😛

[red marsh]

sure, that works

[true adder]

oops

[wary atlas]

gut

[true adder]

ok

du bist ein gut lehrer?

[red marsh]

almost

du bist ein guter lehrer

[true adder]

where is er from?

[red marsh]

this is one of the trickier parts of german, or at least it was for me when i first started learning

[wary atlas]

Der gute Lehrer

[red marsh]

so if it's a bit confusing at first, don't worry. it will make more sense with practice

[true adder]

ok

[red marsh]

you're off to a good start though

[wary atlas]

Der gute Lehrer
Das gute Haus
Die gute Katze

Die guten Katzen

[boreal zealot]

what are you saying what is tricky?

the good cats

[true adder]

ja

[wary atlas]

Ein

[boreal zealot]

Das guten Katzchen

[wary atlas]

Ein guter Lehrer

Ein gutes Haus

Eine gute Katze

[true adder]

how do i know if its er or es

[boreal zealot]

wait why are you adding that stuff onto the adjective?

[wary atlas]

Ein

[boreal zealot]

oh

yes

[true adder]

wait

is this

what is this

like

nominativ. akkusativ...

genetiv... dativ?

oh

so how od i know er or es

ja

[boreal zealot]

adjective declension

^

[true adder]

ja

[boreal zealot]

der ----> er? es is das?

[wary atlas]

Der Hund -> ein guter Hund

[true adder]

er is masculine... es is neuter?

and feminin is nothin

nothing*

like

eine already

ok ok

so

[wary atlas]

Die gute Katze
Eine gute Katze

[true adder]

a big beer

ein grosses bier

bcuz

neuter

right?

[boreal zealot]

why are you guys laughing

[true adder]

ich trinke ein grosses bier

?

but

if it was

i drink a beer

its

ich trinke einen bier?

oh

its das

woops

my bad

[boreal zealot]

i think what bro means is that its hard to undrestand your accent because it sounds a bit australian

although , i dont think you soudns like a robot

[true adder]

ich trinke ein bier

ich trinke ein grosses bier

ich trinke ein kleines bier

ich trinke das kleine bier ?

i forgot

how do we do

definite agian

definite*

[wary atlas]

Der kleine
Das kleine
Die kleine

[true adder]

ich vergesse

oh ya

ja genau

[keen frost]

im gonna have to go now. thanks for your teaching, basement dude!

[true adder]

tschuess!

[keen frost]

:3

tschuess

[wary atlas]

The small dog
A small dog

[true adder]

this is a lot to think of lol

der kleine Hund
ein kleiner Hund ?

[boreal zealot]

why did u mention a bunch of genders for kleine?

[true adder]

wait

can u pronounce

kleine vs kleiner

ok

no problem

🙂

okay

[storm turret]

oh oh i know the difference

[wary atlas]

den kleinen Hund
einen kleinen Hund

[true adder]

what are feminine and neuter

[storm turret]

kleine - e is the schwa sound https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwa
kleiner - er is more like the german a

[true adder]

for akkusativ

akkusativ is only masculine that changes

with en

i think i shud have wrote this stuff i learned today down

[wary atlas]

die Katzen, keine Katzen

[true adder]

but hopefully i can remember and just practice

[wary atlas]

die guten Katzen, keine guten Katzen

[storm turret]

if you speak a non-rhotic english dialect e.g. australian, the schwa is the same sound you use in words that end in er like water, butter

[true adder]

not easy

but makes sense

lol

oh

got it

ok

A0.35
