Liebe sounds stronger

thorny tiger
#

boreal zealot
#

Can i say ich liebe tanzen ?

#

Ok thanks

frank quartz
#

Liebe is really strong in german i think. much stronger than the english word love am i wrong?

thorny tiger
#

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.

Is this where we talk about the lesson being taught?

wary atlas
#

Yeah.

sacred meteor
#

Oh okay, danke schön.

#

Why doesn't Maus have das as the article?

graceful island
#

because

#

😩 shield toad

sacred meteor
#

Ah, because I read that 'das' is used for diminutive form

#

Oh okay.

gritty smelt
#

Katze?

graceful island
#

whats a diminutive?

#

die

wary atlas
#

Diminutive doesn't mean all small things. Only specific types of things like talking about babies and so on.

ruby ocean
#

und was ist denn "Band"? mmlol

wary atlas
#

e.g. das Kätzchen = kitten (baby cat)

ebon parrot
#

both a male cat and a female cat are "die Katze", right?

graceful island
#

yea

ebon parrot
#

oh k

green pebble
#

unless you want to emphasise the gender, then it is der Kater for male one

burnt scaffold
#

Male cat is der Kater

ebon parrot
#

oh, thanks!

burnt scaffold
#

There are some patterns but you will have to learn them mostly

graceful island
#

lillie #1 = kein chen, lillie #2 =chen. ez.

tawdry gorge
#

Learn them @boreal zealot

#

Along with Vocab

burnt scaffold
gritty smelt
#

I dont understand the word "diminutive"

ebon parrot
#

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:

cat kitty

ruby ocean
#

ja genau

graceful island
#

b-

green pebble
#

die Hundin
or you say sie ist weiblich if your vet asks you

ruby ocean
#

-y und -ie werden meistens verwendet, um ein Nomen im Englischen in ein Diminutiv umzuwandeln

burnt scaffold
#

Umlauts :D

#

Hündin

graceful island
#

der ist ein weibliche hund uwu

nimble oxide
#

Hunchen and Huhn

graceful island
#

weint auf keine umlaute

high mantle
#

*Hühnchen

burnt scaffold
#

I don't think it's necessarily rude, usually you still refer to female dogs as der Hund though

storm turret
#

and when you can't write an umlaut you can do the following substitutions: ä - ae, ö - oe, ü - ue

graceful island
#

do they speak denglish and everything?

#

"you havw a nice katze" top denglish

#

Meine katze ist ein strong boi

storm turret
#

bulli always has top denglish. i wish i knew him when i was writing my thesis

graceful island
#

thats cuz bulli has top english

storm turret
#

on the socio-cultural influences on code-switching of which these examples of denglish come under

Wie ist das Wetter dort?

ivory thorn
#

for not being there for the lesson lol

heady whale
#

Mir auch. Ich schlafe nicht weil ich ein Kunstwerke mache.

ivory thorn
#

Ya Ya ! I've seen it

heady whale
#

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

ivory thorn
#

have you done the complete homework sheet ?

nimble oxide
#

How to remember all the articles ?

high mantle
#

No, everything in that drive is from Basementality

heady whale
#

my german teacher also had a mnemonic for articles should i share that?

nimble oxide
#

Especially ..when there are all the cases

heady whale
#

i remembered it as RESE because der die das die

gritty smelt
#

Ich gehe jetzt, Auf Wiedersehn und Guten Tag!

nimble oxide
#

So..to repeat, repeat until it gets familiar

ivory thorn
#

sorry I meant, did you actually get throught the complete file ?

heady whale
#

its the last letter of each article

#

also is doodle allowed to talk or is everyone not mute by choice

nimble oxide
#

Weak verbs and strong verbs ..different conjunction?

green pebble
#

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

ivory thorn
#

I think doodle got it right..

hearty horizon
#

This is probably posted somewhere already, but is there a place where lessons are announced beforehand?

heady whale
green pebble
#

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

storm turret
#

here is the place

#

sub to the group roles to be pinged. e.g. >sub grammar

hearty horizon
#

okay, thank you

high mantle
#

wackelig

green pebble
#

@hearty horizon also, you can go to bot channel and use >lessons and you'll see what's already planned and announced

heady whale
#

i think its >sessions tho right?

green pebble
#

yup, and probably some more 😄

high mantle
#

>lessons works, too

#

just checked mmLol

ivory thorn
#

@high mantle If I do the exercises, Can I forward them to you ?

#

A second just passed by lol

#

you need more ?

green pebble
#

@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 🙂

ivory thorn
#

@green pebble vienlen Dank fur diese hilfreich Information

green pebble
#

😉

ivory thorn
#

See ya

ivory thorn
#

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

Session 23 (2020-08-22 at 00:00 UTC)

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.

@maiden abyss thank you

people in Germany say "Wie ist dein Name", not "was"

in my experience everyone said that

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

tardy prawn
#

makes a lot of sense tbh

wary atlas
#

@tardy prawn Oh yeah, thanks.

maiden abyss
#

Base, did you make a mistake with genitive's version of "der Polizist" isn't it supposed to be "des Polizistens"?

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.

vapid thicket
#

Sehr gut

trim ferry
#

is there a pronounciation difference between Herrn and Herren

vestal apex
#

What is actually the point of this lesson?

vapid thicket
#

Basic lesson for beginners

vestal apex
#

what is a weak noun?

maiden abyss
#

There's a specifically polite way to address someone

vestal apex
#

yeah

mystic dune
#

No

vestal apex
#

yeah

#

I remember doing that mistake in the past

wary atlas
#

Ich bin ein Junge.
Ich sehe einen Jungen.

vestal apex
#

Are there many weak nouns?

vapid thicket
#

Ich einen Jungen sehen

vestal apex
#

So they're basicly all masculine forms, right?

vapid thicket
#

From what I’ve learned, verb is placed at the end. Correct me if I’m wrong.

outer vector
#

@wary atlas duden says sing. gen. of Name is Namens

vestal apex
#

I came later, sorry

tardy prawn
#

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

vapid thicket
#

Ich einen Jungen sehen
So this is wrong

tardy prawn
#

yes

maiden abyss
#

Hey, Base. Can we make a short pause before we skip to genitive?

#

A few minutes.

tardy prawn
#

that is not a valid sentence

outer vector
#

@vapid thicket the conjugated verb typically goes in the second position

#

also, conjugate your verb

tardy prawn
#

Da ich einen Jungen sehe...
Some conjunctions, such as "da" will push the verb to the end

vapid thicket
#

Oh i see, not in every case applies it

tardy prawn
#

right

#

it is not applicable every time

vapid thicket
#

Thank you so much

outer vector
#

nate i don't think base is teaching this yet

tardy prawn
#

Uh

trim ferry
#

we did conjunctions a few weeks ago

tardy prawn
#

But I don't think it hurts does it

vapid thicket
#

Nop. It doesn’t 😆

vapid thicket
#

It helped me, thanks.

tardy prawn
#

np

vestal apex
#

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.

tardy prawn
#

How long have you been C1 for tho

vestal apex
#

Idk, I live in Germany for 7 years now, I don't remember

tardy prawn
#

also you know you can get the blue role when you are C right

#

bruh lucky

#

I wanna move there some day

outer vector
#

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

tardy prawn
#

yeah you're right aden

hollow narwhal
#

We should just ban Nathaniel

tardy prawn
maiden abyss
#

I needed water

vestal apex
#

@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

maiden abyss
#

ja im here

mystic dune
#

Yes

tardy prawn
#

tbh I only think I know what that even means (weak verbs)

#

don't remember either

maiden abyss
#

did you learn german by just living in deutschland

tardy prawn
#

partially

#

not totally tho

#

I will stop chatting in lessons now tho

maiden abyss
#

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.

outer vector
#

aren't these possessive adjectives as opposed to possessive determiners?

#

wouldn't the difference be my vs. mine?

#

ach danke

maiden abyss
#

When using a English word, like Hobby/ Hobbys

#

Is there an apostrophe?

#

Yeah

#

Oh, okay.

vapid thicket
#

Dang, ig2g but thanks a lot for this lesson. Hope you can do it more times. See you guys from Mexico! Tschüss

maiden abyss
#

gute nacht

outer vector
#

i think the apostrophe is used for genitive nouns that end with s/z/x/ß iirc

#

danke

tardy prawn
#

In English it’s hobbies, base might’ve already said that tho

trim ferry
#

so the genetive noun posessed the accusatiive noun

maiden abyss
#

Would a phrase [This is of utmost importance] be translated with genitive?

#

🆗

#

[deepl says: Dies ist von größter Bedeutung.]

boreal zealot
#

von + dativ

raw agate
#

why wegen instead of weil?

boreal zealot
#

wegen is basically for nouns

outer vector
#

"because of" vs. "because"

boreal zealot
#

it's like "because of"

#

yeah

maiden abyss
#

"des schlechten Zustands seines Autos."
the poor State [of] his Car

#

right?

boreal zealot
#

yep

maiden abyss
#

ah i kinda hoped it'd be Staat 😄

boreal zealot
#

wait

#

the first doesnt have to be in genetiv

outer vector
#

he was quoting the slide

boreal zealot
#

ahh

#

i wasnt paying attention to the slide sorry

maiden abyss
#

nope

coarse stratus
#

wegen = because of
weil = because

#

as far as i understood

boreal zealot
#

so wegen + noun (genetiv) and weil + phrase

coarse stratus
#

quick question: is "trotz" like "trotzdem"?

boreal zealot
#

yeah so trotz + noun

coarse stratus
#

thanks!!

#

both of you

maiden abyss
#

sorry, which ones to learn straightaway

#

What's the difference between anstatt and statt

wary atlas
#

Statt Spanisch lerne ich Deutsch.

outer vector
#

des Spanisch, Spanischs Duden

raw agate
#

What about " I want bananas instead of apples."

maiden abyss
#

google example: Statt Anton hat sie Peter geheirate.

trim ferry
#

I need to leave early today, thanks for the lesson!

boreal zealot
#

geheiratet*

wary atlas
#

Statt nach Deutschland fliege ich nach Australien.

coarse stratus
#

so if nach is used, the "an" is not needed?

#

z.B

tardy prawn
#

What about " I want bananas instead of apples."
Anstatt Äpfel hätte ich gerne Bananen.

maiden abyss
coarse stratus
#

ok makes sense to me

tardy prawn
#

Yup that is very accurate @maiden abyss

boreal zealot
#

Statt Äpfel möchte ich lieber Bananen (?)

mystic dune
#

If you don't use the genitive talks how do you know if it's possessive? @wary atlas

tardy prawn
#

Also works @boreal zealot

maiden abyss
#

@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." ?

wary atlas
#

an seiner Stelle

outer vector
#

formality

mystic dune
#

If you don't use the genitive case how do you know it's possessive

#

If it doesn't have an article

boreal zealot
#

context usually

tardy prawn
#

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

wary atlas
#

Statt Spanisch lerne ich Deutsch.

maiden abyss
#

English isn't my native language, so I have no idea what he meant by "higher register of German"

wary atlas
#

Statt des Hundes möchte ich die Katze.

vivid dagger
#

@maiden abyss just talking fancier

outer vector
#

@maiden abyss a register is the "kind" of language you use, influenced by who you're speaking to, or what environment you're in

maiden abyss
#

ah

outer vector
#

informal vs. formal in simplest terms

maiden abyss
#

danke

tardy prawn
#

Yup

boreal zealot
#

it's not gonna die in our lifetime lol

outer vector
#

we can't really predict linguistic evolution

#

i think genitive being associated with formal tone might be why people think that

maiden abyss
#

this is kinda unrelated, but maybe in the future you can do a lesson on slang words, chatting abbreviations and stuff like that?

vivid dagger
#

^^

coarse stratus
#

"was geht ab alda" 🙂

maiden abyss
#

ah okay cus i tried understanding german memes and failed 😂

boreal zealot
#

yeah probably a native speaker is more "geeignet" for that

maiden abyss
#

suitable?

boreal zealot
#

yes ty

#

i forgot lol

maiden abyss
#

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?

boreal zealot
#

an example for von that doesnt work for genitiv?

finite raven
#

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?

boreal zealot
#

like all myths do

#

from just people thinking they know shit they dont

maiden abyss
#

I guess it started from the regions where it's not used much

coarse stratus
#

we learned it in mexico too in a2 level, but the teacher told us that it was dying out

maiden abyss
#

(?) from what Base said. That's my theory.

wary atlas
#

Der Dativ ist dem Genitiv sein Tod (Zwiebelfisch)

finite raven
#

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?

maiden abyss
#

Zwiebelfisch? 👀

finite raven
#

we were told to ignore it initially because we would use it a lot less

boreal zealot
#

also u probably use dativ and akk almost in every sentence but definitely not the case for genetiv

coarse stratus
#

in literature it's pretty common actually

boreal zealot
#

yep

finite raven
#

👍

maiden abyss
#

sind wir fertig?

tardy prawn

we're doing this in final year of our high school german

boreal zealot

honestly it doesnt make sense to keep it for later

#

u read a text and you're like why is it "des"

coarse stratus
#

i learned it in a2

maiden abyss
#

wtf at high school we're translating german newspaper articles about ecology

#

rn

vivid dagger
#

lol wtf

maiden abyss
#

i mean not RIGHT NOW, but last year.

vivid dagger
#

what country?

maiden abyss
#

serbia

coarse stratus
#

i guess it depends on the region

tardy prawn
#

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.
@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.

vivid dagger
#

im in australia haha

maiden abyss
#

oh

#

yah...

#

here you start learning english grade 1

vivid dagger
#

sounds a lot better over there

maiden abyss
#

from grade 5 you pick another language

#

and learn it grade 5 - 8 + 4 years in high school

#

so...

vivid dagger
#

hahaha i think about 1 in 15 people even take a second language at all over here

maiden abyss
#

nah it's mandatory here (i think)

#

unless you go to schools for less intelligent students.

vivid dagger
#

lol no, i go to one of the better schools

tardy prawn
#

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.

maiden abyss
#

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

tardy prawn

But depends on the sentence

Best way to learn German
Should I study all these skills every day?

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.

How much time should I dedicate to studying?

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.

maiden abyss

Anything less than 5 hours and you may find it hard to keep improving steadily

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

coarse stratus
#

i got A2 in 2 years with 5 hours a week

maiden abyss
#

tardy prawn
#

That would be really way too much especially if it’s not immersion and just you alone

maiden abyss
#

I think I am doing good with grammar, kind of.

#

I'm really struggling with vocab, though.

coarse stratus
#

grammar+reading is, in my opinion, ideal

maiden abyss
#

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
