Ich mag Angela Merkel.
What's the difference with ich liebe dich then ?
Like / love
Liebe sounds stronger
(yeah, I think most people wouldnt even use it with their family)
Liebe is really strong in german i think. much stronger than the english word love am i wrong?
Ich liebe Tanzen // Ich liebe es zu tanzen.
Liebe is really strong in german i think. much stronger than the english word love am i wrong?
@frank quartz yeah
Ich habe dich gern/lieb.
Warum ist es "es zu tanzen" in diesem Satz "Ich liebe es zu tanzen"?
I like it to dance
Vielen danke!
Thank you!!

Hello people! Beginner German: Lesson 1 will start in around 25min in Lessons vc. We will be learning about pronouns, grammatical gender of a noun and some conjugation. Have a listen if you feel like it! :3

session info 22
Beginner German: Lesson 1 - A session aimed at complete beginners. In this session, we will discuss pronouns, grammatical gender and basic sentence structure
Hello, lovely people. There will be a series of beginner grammar lessons presumably every Saturday, depending on demand and availability of session holders, beginning on the 15th of August at 8:00 UTC. If any questions arise, feel free to ask in #community-discussion
These lessons will be a repeat of the Beginner Lessons held by @wary atlas but simply held at a different time. The lesson content can be found here: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/14MPdMqPTH9XVocvy__Hw7cMz5jSXZux-

@high mantle hey sorry whats the verb to buy again?
kaufen
@high mantle Neuter.
and the war has begun
lol

ne ich mach nicht mit

ich weigere mich dazu
Is this where we talk about the lesson being taught?
Yeah.
Katze?
Diminutive doesn't mean all small things. Only specific types of things like talking about babies and so on.
und was ist denn "Band"? 
e.g. das Kätzchen = kitten (baby cat)
both a male cat and a female cat are "die Katze", right?
yea
oh k
unless you want to emphasise the gender, then it is der Kater for male one
Male cat is der Kater
oh, thanks!
There are some patterns but you will have to learn them mostly
lillie #1 = kein chen, lillie #2 =chen. ez.
Check out >ex gender patterns in #botchannel
I dont understand the word "diminutive"
I like to make crazy reasons why a word is Feminine/Masculine/Neuter. For example: I remember that "Kenntnis" is feminine because for me it looks like "miss Kennt" or sth like that c:
Bullichen :3
cutie
cat kitty
ja genau
b-
die Hundin
or you say sie ist weiblich if your vet asks you
-y und -ie werden meistens verwendet, um ein Nomen im Englischen in ein Diminutiv umzuwandeln
der ist ein weibliche hund uwu
Hunchen and Huhn
weint auf keine umlaute
*Hühnchen
I don't think it's necessarily rude, usually you still refer to female dogs as der Hund though
and when you can't write an umlaut you can do the following substitutions: ä - ae, ö - oe, ü - ue
do they speak denglish and everything?
"you havw a nice katze" top denglish
Meine katze ist ein strong boi
bulli always has top denglish. i wish i knew him when i was writing my thesis
thats cuz bulli has top english
on the socio-cultural influences on code-switching of which these examples of denglish come under

Ich bin das Pferd
||Pferd ist nicht hier. Er ist süß.||
||Er ist ein Pferd||
||Ihr sied süß.||
Pferd ist groß.
Pferd ist pferd
Can you please pronounce 'Pferd' once?
||Wir sind große Pferde||
Oh it is 'Ferd' but 'p' is silent?
its like an f that starts on a P
oh so 'p' plays a very small role in pronunciation but it is indeed present
||ich bin neben dem Pferd||
its redundant
i don't think its too wierd
So if 'You' is used formally we use Sie and we use -en than -t?
Sie +-en, exactly

How do you say "than"? Like: "I am better than him"

||Sie essen Essen||
||Wir können Kinder zusammen essen!||
gn everyone uwu
oh yeah!
Tchüss
||Ihr esst Essen, es schmeckt gut!||
Ich kann ein Pferd essen
Kannst du meinen Hund isst?
^ does the "isst" get conjugated as so or does it stick with "essen"?
the alt code for ü is alt + 0252
the alt code for ß is alt + 225
If we are talking about a person eating like a wild animal, can we use fressen??
oder alt + 0223
Jeden Tag wir fressen ein Schläger
afaik fressen is when you basically want to insult someone
i just set up the german laungauge in windows and then i switch using Win + Space
Would it be used in a contect of describing a feral person, like someone raised by animals??
Okay, thanks
Umlaut is normally used for making plurals and has different pronunciation?
||Ich schlafe jedes Tag||
Umlauts have nothing to do with plural but they are pronounced differently yes
||Du schläfst zu spät ein||
*jeden, Red
Jeden Tag Ich bin schläfrig
ist taglich täglich oder taglich?
Flasche, Obst, Computer, Kamm, Bürste
||der Computer||
i like funny words
||die Flasche||

^The lesson, homework, some words
*Danke schön!
Bitte schön!
Vielen Dank
Bitte schön! means tankyou ?
Hallo leute/Banned and Bullied, please which lesson is that ? 8 ?
1
Ok ok lol kein problem
I was just asking
Verb charts ?
oh no
yh i'm on it, i was just confused about which one you're studying. Vocab begginer 1 ?
currently we are looking at homework file
Danke!
Kein Problem!
Keine Frage .Thanks a lot for your time 🙂
Danke!
Thanks for the lecture
Thanks!
mir geht ist schlecht
Wie ist das Wetter dort?
for not being there for the lesson lol
Mir auch. Ich schlafe nicht weil ich ein Kunstwerke mache.
Ya Ya ! I've seen it
do you have any books that you would recommend to read for practice?
for like a2 level
or like... easy to read if i snag a dictionary
have you done the complete homework sheet ?
How to remember all the articles ?
No, everything in that drive is from Basementality
my german teacher also had a mnemonic for articles should i share that?
Especially ..when there are all the cases
i remembered it as RESE because der die das die
Ich gehe jetzt, Auf Wiedersehn und Guten Tag!
So..to repeat, repeat until it gets familiar
sorry I meant, did you actually get throught the complete file ?
its the last letter of each article
also is doodle allowed to talk or is everyone not mute by choice
Weak verbs and strong verbs ..different conjunction?
I think it's a lof of effort if you try to think about the gender
best approach would be to learn that dog isn't hund but der Hund
I think doodle got it right..
This is probably posted somewhere already, but is there a place where lessons are announced beforehand?
when you're talking you don't have that much time to think - remember the word then remember the gender then do declension
so if you are able to train yourself that all nouns in german are basically made of two words maybe it would be better
so you automatise it
okay, thank you
wackelig
@hearty horizon also, you can go to bot channel and use >lessons and you'll see what's already planned and announced
i think its >sessions tho right?
yup, and probably some more 😄
@high mantle If I do the exercises, Can I forward them to you ?
A second just passed by lol
you need more ?
@ivory thorn I think it's usual way to write google doc, and then share it on #writing channel and then look for feedback/corrections on #corrections channel
also, when sharing doc, ensure that commenting/editing is enabled so that people can correct your work 🙂
@green pebble vienlen Dank fur diese hilfreich Information
😉
See ya
I'd like to try to do the exercises but it says i need access for that. Am I just supposed to download it in any available form and then upload it on google format again ?
Sorry I stayed on call so long.Isn.t it closing automatically after finishing lesson?
Not using discord for such a long time..sorry for knowledge gaps
@ivory thorn Yes, you can make a copy on your own Google Drive and use that.
File > Make a copy
Thank you mate. I appreciate.
Where's the materials from today's lesson?
Which?
The one after yours.
Bulli's one?
ja ich glaube schon
He just used my slides from lesson 1.
Oh, so it's all the same thing?
Yeah.
Ah, okay
@high mantle I finished todays homework 🙂 👍
Nice 👍
Morning everyone
@boreal pier @gritty smelt just a reminder to please use #botchannel for such requests, so that we others don't get a ping about some post in lessons that isn't about lessons :)
Sorry, I saw that he wrote that and I thought I was in the bot-channel lol

Wie liest du?
Ich habe die ersten Kapiteln angehoert, mit Audiobook
fuer schlafen
aber es ist eine lange Zeit seit dann
also wir lesen etwa einen Absatz vor, dann fassen wir auf Deutsch zusammen, was drin passiert ist. Wir können auch nach den Bedeutungen bestimmter Wörter, die wir nicht ganz verstanden haben, fragen und eine Erklärung wird dann geteilt
die ganze Stunde soll ausschlißlich auf Deutsch geführt werden
MOMO ❤️

ich fand die aufgaben sinnvoll von schwierigkeit her weil es alles neu ist
@lyric goblet du kannst eine öffentliche Dokument auf Google Docs mit den Tabellen machen, und die Link hier posten vielleicht
👋
ja danke sehr
danke Sascha! schöne Lektion 🙂
I think the guy is a pretentious asshole and I don’t really care to engage in a conversation with them
the English name is Swiss German btw, and the German name is Schweizerdeutsch
Maybe he meant schwieriger Deutsch

Hey everyone! The next lesson begins in around 15 minutes. Today we will be talking about genitive and also weak nouns. This lesson is aimed at beginners, but everyone is welcome! The lesson is held in the Lessons VC.
By the way, I probably won't be hosting lessons for a few weeks, as I'm quite busy at the moment. If anyone wants to volunteer to host sessions during those weeks, let me know. There won't be grammar sessions, but you can just host some reading/vocab/practice sessions during the same time period.
Is this going to be a short or a long lesson?
Hopefully short.
Alright!
@maiden abyss Wo kommst du her?
Nope
wait theres weak verbs
Hallo und danke für das pdf, where the leesaon is gonna be held? And where can i find lesson 1 to 8 pdfs??
Thank you!!
Are we supposed to learn weak noun declension by heart?
@vapid thicket it's held right now in the lessons voice channel
Are we supposed to learn weak noun declension by heart?
is there strong nouns
no.
nope
Was ist dein Name? Mein Name ist ...
there we go
Kennst du meinen Namen?
Er fragte nach deinem Namen.
?
@vapid thicket it's held right now in the lessons voice channel
@maiden abyss thank you
np
people in Germany say "Wie ist dein Name", not "was"
in my experience everyone said that
the policeman?
helo base
your background noise sounds like something dying
Base, is it alright if we don't know case declension perfectly by now? Cus I still have to look it up
👌
i got some
i use this.
Base, did you make a mistake with genitive's version of "der Polizist" isn't it supposed to be "des Polizistens"?
but corona 👀
learner, someone who learns
np, sorry not trying to interrupt the lesson, I forget that that's what this is for sometimes
Oh
it's CEFR
That's fine, Nate. It's always welcome!
sir
sir/mr/gentleman
I was personally kind of surprised about "wie" being used like that tbh when I first started noticing it, but then I just started copying it eventually
Sehr gut.
Sehr gut
is there a pronounciation difference between Herrn and Herren
What is actually the point of this lesson?
Basic lesson for beginners
what is a weak noun?
There's a specifically polite way to address someone
yeah
No
Ich bin ein Junge.
Ich sehe einen Jungen.
Are there many weak nouns?
Ich einen Jungen sehen
So they're basicly all masculine forms, right?
From what I’ve learned, verb is placed at the end. Correct me if I’m wrong.
@wary atlas duden says sing. gen. of Name is Namens
I came later, sorry
Ich sehe einen Jungen*
From what I’ve learned, verb is placed at the end. Correct me if I’m wrong.
It does happen but not in this case
Ich einen Jungen sehen
So this is wrong
yes
that is not a valid sentence
@vapid thicket the conjugated verb typically goes in the second position
also, conjugate your verb
Da ich einen Jungen sehe...
Some conjunctions, such as "da" will push the verb to the end
Oh i see, not in every case applies it
Thank you so much
nate i don't think base is teaching this yet
Uh
we did conjunctions a few weeks ago
But I don't think it hurts does it
Nop. It doesn’t 😆
It helped me, thanks.
np
You know I'm like C1 level and I didn't know these rules? xD I used them accidentally. It's nice to come back to things like that.
How long have you been C1 for tho
Idk, I live in Germany for 7 years now, I don't remember
also you know you can get the blue role when you are C right
bruh lucky
I wanna move there some day
i think you guys should use a different channel so base doesn't have to read all of this
remember, he is doing a lesson right now
yeah you're right aden
We should just ban Nathaniel

I needed water
@tardy prawn I remember writing 50 pages long thing for my German class and that was the mistake I made, cause I didn't know weak nouns exist
ja im here
Yes
did you learn german by just living in deutschland
Do native speakers just shorten it to S?
👌
my ears just officially died
Is this what you're talking about? I think I missed that lesson.
aren't these possessive adjectives as opposed to possessive determiners?
wouldn't the difference be my vs. mine?
ach danke
When using a English word, like Hobby/ Hobbys
Is there an apostrophe?
Yeah
Oh, okay.
Dang, ig2g but thanks a lot for this lesson. Hope you can do it more times. See you guys from Mexico! Tschüss
gute nacht
In English it’s hobbies, base might’ve already said that tho
so the genetive noun posessed the accusatiive noun
Would a phrase [This is of utmost importance] be translated with genitive?
🆗
[deepl says: Dies ist von größter Bedeutung.]
von + dativ
why wegen instead of weil?
wegen is basically for nouns
"because of" vs. "because"
yep
ah i kinda hoped it'd be Staat 😄
he was quoting the slide
nope
so wegen + noun (genetiv) and weil + phrase
quick question: is "trotz" like "trotzdem"?
yeah so trotz + noun
sorry, which ones to learn straightaway
What's the difference between anstatt and statt
Statt Spanisch lerne ich Deutsch.
des Spanisch, Spanischs Duden
What about " I want bananas instead of apples."
google example: Statt Anton hat sie Peter geheirate.
I need to leave early today, thanks for the lesson!
geheiratet*
Statt nach Deutschland fliege ich nach Australien.
What about " I want bananas instead of apples."
Anstatt Äpfel hätte ich gerne Bananen.
tbw I found this
ok makes sense to me
Yup that is very accurate @maiden abyss
Statt Äpfel möchte ich lieber Bananen (?)
If you don't use the genitive talks how do you know if it's possessive? @wary atlas
Also works @boreal zealot
@tardy prawn what does the author mean by saying "When using the unshortened form we may intend a higher register of German but in this case this is of not much siginficance." ?
an seiner Stelle
formality
If you don't use the genitive case how do you know it's possessive
If it doesn't have an article
context usually
I think it’s basically saying that anstatt can potentially sound more formal but honestly Idk that’s a very minor thing
People use both a lot
Statt Spanisch lerne ich Deutsch.
English isn't my native language, so I have no idea what he meant by "higher register of German"
Statt des Hundes möchte ich die Katze.
@maiden abyss just talking fancier
@maiden abyss a register is the "kind" of language you use, influenced by who you're speaking to, or what environment you're in
ah
informal vs. formal in simplest terms
danke
Yup
it's not gonna die in our lifetime lol
we can't really predict linguistic evolution
i think genitive being associated with formal tone might be why people think that
this is kinda unrelated, but maybe in the future you can do a lesson on slang words, chatting abbreviations and stuff like that?
^^
"was geht ab alda" 🙂
ah okay cus i tried understanding german memes and failed 😂
yeah probably a native speaker is more "geeignet" for that
suitable?
i was like why is this man making me use the translator xd 😦
Can you give an example of such a sentence where genitive wouldn't work?
an example for von that doesnt work for genitiv?
My teacher (native German, in Berlin) also said not to worry about Genitiv (even though we learned it well), because it was dying out. You said that's just a myth that's not supported by data.
Then where does this misconception come from? Is it purely anecdotal?
I guess it started from the regions where it's not used much
we learned it in mexico too in a2 level, but the teacher told us that it was dying out
(?) from what Base said. That's my theory.
Der Dativ ist dem Genitiv sein Tod (Zwiebelfisch)
if there isn't actually a decline in the use of genitiv, is it still fair to say it's not as common as the other ones?
Zwiebelfisch? 👀
we were told to ignore it initially because we would use it a lot less
also u probably use dativ and akk almost in every sentence but definitely not the case for genetiv
in literature it's pretty common actually
yep
👍
sind wir fertig?
danke base!
thank you so much for your efforts <3
Are we kinda done with A1?
Der Dativ ist dem Genitiv sein Tod (Zwiebelfisch)
🤢
damn this is a1?
genitiv is a1?
loll
lol
i mean its basic cases
we're doing this in final year of our high school german
honestly it doesnt make sense to keep it for later
u read a text and you're like why is it "des"
i learned it in a2
lol wtf
i mean not RIGHT NOW, but last year.
what country?
serbia
i guess it depends on the region

@finite raven having lived there for almost a year I can say it’s still very present in speech. However, it depends on the particular region more than anything else, or person, depending on where they grew up.
im in australia haha
sounds a lot better over there
from grade 5 you pick another language
and learn it grade 5 - 8 + 4 years in high school
so...
hahaha i think about 1 in 15 people even take a second language at all over here
nah it's mandatory here (i think)
unless you go to schools for less intelligent students.
lol no, i go to one of the better schools
One time I actually asked my host brother if he would say „von“ or use genitive and he said he usually prefers genitive because it sounds much prettier to him.
lol no, i go to one of the better schools
@vivid dagger yah you'd be doing your 2nd language by now, and english should be (well, your first foreign language) at at least B1 - B2 ish
But depends on the sentence

@vivid dagger here you have to learn English. 2nd language options are usually French, German, Italian and sometimes Russian.

ok anyone can use the bot 😄
@wary atlas can you perhaps talk about something like general tips for learning? some tips, what to ignore, and what to focus on? maybe from your personal experience and etcetera.
damn, i know the yugoslav school system was very good, glad to hear its still doing alright over there 😄
i recommend the "menschen" books for anyone that is new
i mean its not the worst idea tbh
ok basementality, did not know that im sorry
Oh, did you mean you're gonna do a lesson specifically on it? I just meant like talk about it right now haha
closest thing to an international language
i mean its not the worst idea tbh
@vivid dagger yeah worked good
i think its fairly new for english being mandatory
One time I tested my taxi drivers English skills and he asked to please switch back to German
faq best way to learn
If you want to study them all every day, you can, but some people may find it easier to focus on particular skills on particular days. For example, on Monday you might choose to do a lot of writing practice, and then on Tuesday you might plan some conversation practice with some speaking partners.
If you try to cover too many different things in one day, then you might be jumping around all over the place and not able to focus on each individual task. It’s also a really good idea to have a different schedule or set of tasks each day to keep things from getting boring. So setting a special schedule or set of tasks for each day of the week - like the Monday writing day, or every Friday you do some grammar exercises followed by watching TV shows, or any other combination you like – is a really good way to go.
Everyone has a different schedule and everyone learns at a different pace. It is recommended to study every day, preferably for 30 minutes or more, but taking 1-2 days off is okay. More important is how many hours you study in a week.
A casual pace will be roughly around 5-8 hours a week, a steady pace would be around 10-14 hours a week, and a fast pace (around the same pace as a university subject) will be 15-20 hours a week.
Anything less than 5 hours and you may find it hard to keep improving steadily (but feel free to try it and see how it works for you), while studying one subject for over 25 hours a week may quickly lead to burnout.
How you choose to spread those hours out over the week is not that important; for example, if you have a lot of time on the weekend but not during the week, it’s fine to do short study sessions on weekdays and then dedicate a bunch of time on Saturday and Sunday.
oh god its long
i do 6 hours a day in an intensiv course, and im promised to be B1 in 2 months. starting in A2
you can have an idea of time for that
is this a typo?
Anything less than 5 hours and you may find it hard to keep improving steadily
oh weekly lol
oh i thought it was daily 😂

Yah, so I asked here and on r/German about people's schedules because I noticed that sometimes I'd be like
5 days I study nothing
i got A2 in 2 years with 5 hours a week
then 6th I do 4 hours
That would be really way too much especially if it’s not immersion and just you alone
I think I am doing good with grammar, kind of.
I'm really struggling with vocab, though.
grammar+reading is, in my opinion, ideal
Because for grammar I use Schenke's and your lessons, and your materials. But vocab is hard. Also kinda hard to learn the articles, even though I try to remember them
Vocab is my main problem rn
