Er schrie Harry etwa eine halbe Stunde lang an und befahl ihm dann, Tee zu
kochen. Niedergeschlagen schlurfte Harry in die Küche, und als er zurückkam, war
die Post schon eingeworfen worden, mitten auf den Schoß von Onkel Vernon. Harry
konnte drei mit grüner Tinte beschriftete Briefe erkennen.
»Ich will –«, begann er, doch Onkel Vernon zerriss die Briefe vor seinen Augen in
kleine Fetzen.
An diesem Tag ging Onkel Vernon nicht zur Arbeit. Er blieb zu Hause und nagelte
den Briefschlitz zu.
»Weißt du«, erklärte er Tante Petunia mit dem Mund voller Nägel, »wenn sie die
Briefe nicht zustellen können, werden sie es einfach bleiben lassen.«

[cobalt forum]

in formal/official situations yes, informal both

[delicate vortex]

Keine Briefe mehr....

[unborn hamlet]

me: heh i can read some yeah cool
me, reading: -sweating profusely-

[lyric goblet]

jana do you need me to translate this into gothic

maybe you’ll find it easier that way

[unborn hamlet]

pff

my german ain't too great

;v;

[lyric goblet]

I can probably try a good impression at middle high german but not really any farther back in time

if that helps

[unborn hamlet]

middle high german is rad

[lyric goblet]

I mean MHG is basically swiss german without vowel elisions

do you happen to know any accurately pronounced songs in middle or old high german

[unborn hamlet]

not many

[lyric goblet]

sounds like more than 0

[unborn hamlet]

nearly every one i find is like

[lyric goblet]

yea same

[unborn hamlet]

either pronounced like it were modern german or it messes a couple things up

[lyric goblet]

I know exactly what you mean no need to complete the sentence

[unborn hamlet]

aha

lemme see if i can find some

[lyric goblet]

also thinking about it I should’ve definitely done a gradual swiss german in my paragraph. like start with my best attempt at a german accent, give up on that and then just go full swiss german on-the-fly translation

it’s like, difficult to translate on the fly tho

[unborn hamlet]

https://youtu.be/0FNXfXlUtzg this is prolly the closest but it is a bit inconsistent

wasn't <ie> a diphthong?

[lyric goblet]

should be yea

[unborn hamlet]

yeah so they don't do that and they pronounce w like in modern times

but they say <iu> correct

if only i could sing lmao

[lyric goblet]

based on swiss german, at least the “ziere” one should definitely be a diphthong

friedel I actually have short i

(fridlich)

[unborn hamlet]

mm

but yeah in the song she pronounced <z> like /z/ one time and /ts/ another

[lyric goblet]

schiere is also a diphthong in sw.g (schiar); not sure if that word even exists in standard german

we should move to a different channel tho

[unborn hamlet]

prolly

An das deutsche Volk
Wir, Wilhelm, von Gottes Gnaden König von Preußen, nachdem die deutschen Fürsten und freien Städte den einmütigen Ruf nach Uns gerichtet haben, mit Herstellung des Deutschen Reiches die seit mehr denn sechzig Jahren ruhende deutsche Kaiserwürde zu erneuern und zu übernehmen, und nachdem in der Verfassung des Deutschen Reiches die entsprechenden Bestimmungen vorgesehen sind, bekunden hiermit, daß Wir es als eine Pflicht gegen das gemeinsame Vaterland betrachtet haben, diesem Rufe der verbündeten deutschen Fürsten und Städte Folge zu leisten und die deutsche Kaiserwürde anzunehmen ...
Wir hoffen zu Gott, daß es der Deutschen Nation gegeben sein werde, unter dem Wahrzeichen ihrer alten Herrlichkeit das Vaterland einer segensreichen Zukunft entgegenzuführen. Wir übernehmen die Kaiserliche Würde in, dem Bewußtsein der Pflicht, in deutscher Treue die Rechte des Reichs und seiner Glieder zu schützen, den Frieden zu wahren, die Unabhängigkeit Deutschlands, gestützt auf die geeinte Kraft seines Volkes zu verteidigen ... Uns aber und Unseren Nachfolgern an der Kaiserkrone wolle Gott verleihen, allzeit Mehrer des Deutschen Reichs zu sein nicht an kriegerischen Eroberungen, sondern an den Gütern und Gaben des Friedens auf dem Gebiete nationaler Wohlfahrt, Freiheit und Gesittung.“ 能

»Ich habe den idealen Platz gefunden!«, sagte er. »Kommt! Alle aussteigen!« Draußen war es sehr kalt. Onkel Vernon wies hinaus aufs Meer, wo in der Ferne ein großer Felsen zu erkennen war. Auf diesem Felsen thronte die schäbigste kleine Hütte, die man sich vorstellen kann. Eins war sicher, einen Fernseher gab es dort nicht.

How long do the lessons typically go for? I won't be able to join today, but that seems like a good practice! Do people do corrections during readings?

no idea, but apparently quite a while

[tawdry gorge]

around 2 hours

[coral lantern]

and they read a paragraph and try to translate it

i usually leave after then but sometimes peopel carry it on

»Jetzt könnte ich ausnahmsweise mal einen dieser Briefe gebrauchen, Leute«, sagte er fröhlich.

Er war bester Laune. Offenbar glaubte er, niemand hätte eine Chance, sie hier im Sturm zu erreichen und die Post zuzustellen. Harry dachte im Stillen das Gleiche, doch der Gedanke munterte ihn überhaupt nicht auf.

[cobalt forum]

Als die Nacht hereinbrach, kam der versprochene Sturm um sie herum mächtig in
Fahrt. Gischt von den hohen Wellen spritzte gegen die Wände der Hütte und ein
zorniger Wind rüttelte an den schmutzigen Fenstern. Tante Petunia fand ein paar
nach Aal riechende Leintücher und machte Dudley auf dem mottenzerfressenen Sofa
ein Bett zurecht. Sie und Onkel Vernon gingen ins zerlumpte Bett nebenan, und
Harry musste sich das weichste Stück Fußboden suchen und sich unter der
dünnsten, zerrissensten Decke zusammenkauern.

Noch drei Minuten. War es das Meer, das so hart gegen die Felsen schlug? Und (noch zwei Minuten) was war das für ein komisches, malmendes Geräusch? Zerbrach der Fels und stürzte ins Meer? Noch eine Minute und er war elf. Dreißig Sekunden … zwanzig … zehn … neun – vielleicht sollte er Dudley aufwecken, einfach um ihn zu ärgern – drei … zwei … eine – BUMM. Die ganze Hütte erzitterte. Mit einem Mal saß Harry kerzengerade da und starrte auf die Tür. Da draußen war jemand und klopfte.

Hey memers, today I will be doing a short (ca. 30-60 mins) lesson on declining the indefinite and possessive pronouns (Deklination der Indefinit- und Posessivpronomen). These are words such as einer/welcher/keiner.

The recommended level for this session is LEVEL B, however other levels are very welcome to join if they need a refresher or would just like to listen in.

Looking forward to seeing you all there ❤️

Ich kann mich nicht erinnern...

Aber ich bin nicht sicher daran(? Oder darüber?)

„Bis zu“ glaube ich. Ich schlafe bis zur Unterrichtszeit.

Mixed gender also decline by the masculine, right?

[upper lake]

neutrum??

[stark saffron]

Like using "Lehrer" for both male and female students

sorry

teachers

[sharp hemlock]

What would the sentance look like in german without using the pronouns? Like the actual, unsimplified sentence?

[fossil panther]

just to be clear, it defaults to masculine just because?

[delicate vortex]

Masc declines obviously in all cases so its clear to which case?

[sharp hemlock]

Man für alle, alle für Jeder?

[candid stag]

Why does it have to default to male

Why not female

Lol

[fossil panther]

wtf i want that emote

[tranquil escarp]

Like using "Lehrer" for both male and female teachers
Complex issue. Sometimes people will prefer writing things like LehrerInnen, which is read like Lehrer und Lehrerinnen and is kinda supposed to include both forms. There are also alternative ways to write it.

[delicate vortex]

Overthrow the patriachy

[upper lake]

at shindeiru, I have a friend who goes to a german university and says their university does this

[candid stag]

Alle

[upper lake]

they default to female

[sharp hemlock]

Ok so not relevant thats ok 🙂

[upper lake]

haha

[candid stag]

Deutsch is weird

[stark saffron]

I bet Old English did the same thing as well

[tawdry gorge]

welch-

[sharp hemlock]

This lesson is quite high level for me. I've just barely completed an A1 course.

[sharp hemlock]

👍

[stark saffron]

Which/What?

[upper lake]

I feel stupid because I still can't wrap my head around cases

[delicate vortex]

Ist es welches oder welchs für nom neuter?

[upper lake]

Yes

I really don't get it

[stark saffron]

Sorry, what was the question?

[upper lake]

I guess a brief rundown

so you make something happen?

and that is nom?

[fossil panther]

Ich esse den Apfel.

Ich is nominative

[tawdry gorge]

Ich geb ihm einen Ball.

[upper lake]

[tawdry gorge]

Ich - one performing/invoking the action

ihm - who is affected by the action

[upper lake]

so there are several cases in a sentence?

[fossil panther]

yes

[delicate mesa]

Dative = indirect object (Generally?)

[fossil panther]

the cases show you what purpose a piece of the sentence has

[stark saffron]

And then there is "fragen", where the affected is in accusative. Weird

[coral lantern]

Der Mann (nom.) gibt dem Sohn (dat.) des Freundes (gen.) den Ball (akk.).
The man gives (to) the son "of-the" friend the ball.

[tawdry gorge]

einen Ball - akkusativ, as this is being affected by the action directly

[fossil panther]

accusative indicates the object of the sentence

[upper lake]

Oh man... so much to digest

[true badger]

https://youtu.be/wTACFB3Z1O4?t=47

[tawdry gorge]

ich bin ein Freund - ich and ein Freund is nominative

[true badger]

the video that made it all clear for me

[tawdry gorge]

only applies to sein

[upper lake]

Ah okay I will watch that too

[delicate vortex]

And werden i think

[true badger]

unfortunately it's the wrong language

[tawdry gorge]

yeah i believe so blue

[upper lake]

bahaha

so..... german is a lot of memeorization

[tawdry gorge]

Er gefällt mir.

[delicate mesa]

He appeals to me.

[true badger]

because you are doing the liking

[upper lake]

hahaha

[delicate vortex]

It focuses on the thing you like i feel

[stark saffron]

"einfallen" also does this, right?

[upper lake]

sure

[stark saffron]

Gladly

[delicate mesa]

If it is the first time you are looking at cases...
Nominative: subject
Accusative: direct object
Dative: Indirect object
Genetive: says belongs to

Sorry

[tawdry gorge]

Ich trinke Wein. Möchtest du auch welchen?

[delicate vortex]

Can you use etwas?

[stark saffron]

This "welch"?

[delicate vortex]

Ahh makes sense

[delicate mesa]

Can i just say
Möchtest du auch?

And skip the later part

[tawdry gorge]

**Sind Kurznachrichten für dich wichtig? Ja, klar, ich schreibe dauernd ___ **

[stark saffron]

Can I?

"Are short-news important for you?" "Yes, clearly (or surely?), I write some (of them) myself" so I guess it is genitive, ||welches||?

[upper lake]

ich muss los

[delicate vortex]

Like a Text?

[tawdry gorge]

see ya mapes :3

thanks for joining

[delicate vortex]

Tschüüüüüüüsss 👋

To maple

I forgot how to hide messages?

[stark saffron]

||welche|| then?

Because maybe it's the object of "schreiben"

[tawdry gorge]

|| on either side blue

[delicate vortex]

||Welche||

[ripe patrol]

||welche||

damn to slow xd

[delicate vortex]

Plural accusative right?

[tawdry gorge]

Wir brauchen Reis. Bringst du __ mit?

you're meant to write your answer in spoilers

[delicate mesa]

|eins|

[ripe patrol]

||eins||

[fossil panther]

||spoiler||

[delicate vortex]

||welches/eins??||

[stark saffron]

Why isn't it "einen"?

[delicate vortex]

When i give my friend a bunch of tissues?

Rather than one

[fossil panther]

because it's das Taschentuch, not der

[stark saffron]

But it defaults to masculine?

[fossil panther]

no it doesn't

it's still talking about das Taschentuch

[delicate vortex]

So eins and welche?

More exampleeeeesss

Ahhh no worries

[ripe patrol]

examples

[tawdry gorge]

kein- in plural dativ doesn't exist, defaults to singular

Vertraust du den Leuten?
Nein, ich vertraue __

[stark saffron]

||keine, because die Leute?||

[delicate mesa]

Yes

[haughty skiff]

|keinen|

[delicate vortex]

||keiner?||

[delicate mesa]

Translation please

[fossil panther]

||keine||

[stark saffron]

Oh, I got my mistake

[delicate mesa]

||keinen||

[fossil panther]

||keinen|| then?

[ripe patrol]

||keinem||

[delicate vortex]

||keinem???????||

Mensch das ist so gemein

[ripe patrol]

it is plural, so our "kein-" defaults to singular and then we have Dativ right?

[cobalt forum]

||niemandem||

[ripe patrol]

because of the verb used

[stark saffron]

But defaults to singular masculine or neuter?

No, I'm talking about this plural dative thing

[delicate vortex]

Can we have another plural example?

[ripe patrol]

only men can be called people apparently

[coral lantern]

lol

[delicate vortex]

In dativ, if possible 🙂

Gefallen??

[delicate vortex]

Like something like: i like those tables, do you like any of them?

Just as an idea roll with any dativ verb

Ohhhh oppppps

[stark saffron]

Gefällt meine Meinungen jemandem? Nein, sie gefällen ___ (no one) Would that work?

[delicate vortex]

Ich habe Kollegen am Wochenende getroffen? Du du denen mal begegnet? Nein ich habe ___ kennengelernt

||keinem, but because of Oma could it be keiner||

[cobalt forum]

||niemandem||

[ripe patrol]

[delicate vortex]

I default to the keiner one oh no

||keiner||

[fossil panther]

||keinem||?

[cobalt forum]

||Keines||

[fossil panther]

||alle||

[delicate vortex]

||keines?||

[stark saffron]

Wiktionary lists genitive entries for "einer", "welcher" and "keiner", why?

[delicate vortex]

Beiden being dativ plu

?

[stark saffron]

https://www.korrekturen.de/forum.pl/md/read/id/107704/sbj/beiden-beidem-und-ein-sprichwort/ I wish I could understand this

Is this why we used the neuter version?

[delicate vortex]

I think its like:

Nvm heckes got it handled

[stark saffron]

Oh

[delicate vortex]

I was about to say that

Yes work sheet

[tawdry gorge]

Hi everyone. Sorry for another ping but I just want to let you know, I will be doing a Level A grammar session at this time tomorrow. Anyone is welcome to come. I will also do some screen sharing (if it works) and explain various beginner topics like gender, present tense verbs, and making a simple sentence.

I also would like to do some worksheets with Level A people if anyone is interested. If you are interested in doing some worksheets together in 3 hours, react to this post with a 📚 emoji.

[true adder]

i dont know passiv. im here to listen because i think my geman is not good enough yet. will see how difficult it is first though

[maiden abyss]

im just a beginner so i dont think i need to focus on passiv rn

even tho i remember some from school

[wary atlas]

Yes, if there are some beginners here, feel free to listen but don't worry about learning it if you're not there yet.

[true adder]

the last lesson i was in was with base

[hollow narwhal]

You can sit and bathe in our german rigor

[soft hearth]

What was the last lesson about?

[wary atlas]

And if there are people who don't know passive in their native language, I recommend to get some idea of what it is in your own language. It helps to get to point of it in other languages if you know what it is at least. 😄

I think I too was there mykle
