about it

[hasty minnow]

hier ofen = furnace

[lunar anvil]

Dann sind wir schon zu zweit 🙂

[meager remnant]

Man wird ja wohl noch etwas mitlesen dürfen.

[hasty minnow]

my ass is very hot, no thanks

[lunar anvil]

I' sorry, I don't know this one. Can you say something similar f.e. to bite the dust = to die

[red raven]

uh, that's not a saying

[lunar anvil]

Ich hab ein z vergessen, tut mir leid

[red raven]

I have a literal meadow in my basement

[tranquil escarp]

Don't like the Duden entry for it so here's the Wiktionary entry since it's much more detailed. https://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/gell#Partikel
It's showing off some example sentences. But yeah "right?/isn't it?" would be the closest English equivalent.

[lunar anvil]

You have a ground with a lot of grass and flowers in your house?

[red raven]

yes, in my basement, come, if you want to take a look

[meager remnant]

Das erklärt's. Naja, besser zu zweit als nicht.

[nimble aurora]

doesn't "doch" mean "indeed" in English?

[lunar anvil]

Ich habe eine Wiese in meinem Keller, du kannst gerne kommen und sie anschauen.

[meager remnant]

Depends on the sentence. It can, however it doesn't necessarily have to.

[lunar anvil]

It can be used with "only" to: He only wanted to help = er wollte doch nur helfen

[hasty minnow]

gibt es angeborene Krankheiten in Gschaid?

[lunar anvil]

Or as "but": Er sagte nein, doch sie ja = He said yes, but she no

[hasty minnow]

Milfsdorf

[lunar anvil]

Or as "yes": He said no, she said yes = es sagte ja, sie doch

[nimble aurora]

thanks

[lunar anvil]

you're welcome

Oh, this is not original version of Bergkristall, but simplified version (I was suprised with difficulty of original version for level A2)

[boreal zealot]

Is this how i should do it?

I know, it's hard. Thanks

[hasty minnow]

please don't scream at me

[wheat ferry]

youre correct @dry gale

[boreal zealot]

is it considered a modal particle?

[red raven]

yes

[fiery thorn]

Are you going to show us how it's done then?

[boreal zealot]

oki oki thank you

[hasty minnow]

is here Bloß= doch?

[red raven]

no

[hasty minnow]

noch?

[humble thicket]

huh

[red raven]

uhh, no, it has its own meaning

it's more like a warning

[slate leaf]

is the g silent?

Na ja bin ich auch

byeee

[hasty minnow]

[spring girder]

Tschüss Bish

[distant mist]

I'll try to be back before it ends

[tranquil escarp]

Well I could but I'd make mistakes on purpose just to shoot the cow. 😌

[red raven]

I'm sure that's cheating

[hasty minnow]

Süßigkeiten= Süßwaren?

[red raven]

you just want to shoot the cow, you sadist

[opal trout]

What's the difference between naja & Naja in pronunciation?

None right

?

[humble thicket]

It is just uppercase

[solid dock]

I think so. But I am a beginner. You shouldn't ask me stuff like that.

[somber totem]

Die Weinachtsgeschenke bringt ja das Christkind??

[hasty minnow]

Christmas gifts

[somber totem]

The presents bring yes the children of christ?

Im confused about the ja not the presents

[red raven]

ja is another modal particle here

[spring girder]

Is the hyphen absent from German?

[red raven]

it's not a literal "yes", it's more for putting emphasis

[fiery thorn]

I usually just put the yes at the start of the sentence when I translate that into English

[hasty minnow]

it's to express assurance that X will happen

[somber totem]

Die Katze ist ja schon gefüttert worden, like this?

[boreal zealot]

hinein getan

what is?

maybe, in english, finn, it could be understood like...

"it was understood, yes, that... blah blah"

[somber totem]

Yeah what I said before was like yeah the cats already been fed

[solid dock]

Hinein is in it. And tun is verb do.

[hasty minnow]

whenever "ja" is used linked to an event in the future, it's to express a certain confidence that thing will happen

in the text, it's to say that the "christkind" will (with confidence) bring gifts

[boreal zealot]

ohh :0

[somber totem]

It can also be used for the past my man

[red raven]

I don't think that's what it means in this example

[hasty minnow]

i know, but i'm only explaining this situation

[somber totem]

Yea aight

[boreal zealot]

schneeflocke

[somber totem]

^^^

[boreal zealot]

x3

[somber totem]

Nicht Schneflocke

[boreal zealot]

snowflakes?

[hasty minnow]

yeah in finn's example it doesn't have that meaning

[somber totem]

In Schneeflocke the sound is a hard long e not a soft one

like ee not eh

[spring girder]

Is it the same for sensitive people who boomers mock?

[red raven]

?

[warm loom]

think they're asking if Schneeflocke is used the same negatively toward people who are "sensitive" politically as in english

[balmy gate]

Does German have solid L sound?

[somber totem]

Different dialect here then

[boreal zealot]

russian?

[somber totem]

Or pronunciations

[red raven]

I guess so, but this meaning would come from English anyway

[hasty minnow]

Burger king is learning german

[balmy gate]

da

[hasty minnow]

basiert

[boreal zealot]

i can speak russian too, but i dont have the right keyboard on my computer

[spring girder]

In England "snowflake" has come to be used to describe some1 who's intolerant of intolerance

[humble thicket]

Check out >faq keyboard in #botchannel

[hasty minnow]

[red raven]

words that end with -chen are always Neutrum so not that hard to remember

[solid dock]

Is there a site or a book where they explain properly how to recognize which article a word has?

[red raven]

there are a ton if you google it

[boreal zealot]

"es reicht"?

ohh,

das fenster

[solid dock]

Window

[red raven]

es reicht = that's enough | es riecht nach etwas = it smells like something

[boreal zealot]

"es riecht nach etwas = it smells of something" is there a way to.. understand this that makes more sense in english? or emm like, how can i remember this?

[red raven]

it smells like cookies

sorry

[solid dock]

Are these lessons regular? Like every month or so, or do you plan this spontaneously?

[warm loom]

"dieser Wein riecht gut" is a sentence i get on anki

[red raven]

not sure if smell is the right word

🍷 👃

[humble thicket]

if it smells good

[spring girder]

Aroma?

[boreal zealot]

i mean rather, the phrase itself, outside of this context

ohh, okay. sorry, i was confused by the double meaning of it

[crystal pumice]

The phrase is connected with wine degustation most probably

[boreal zealot]

i didnt know that word, riechen?

[spring girder]

Bouquet

[red raven]

💐

[hasty minnow]

yeah

[spring girder]

🍇

[hasty minnow]

so es reicht = it smells (bad)

[buoyant timber]

What does "umgefallen" mean? Is it talking about "Unglückssäule?

[hasty minnow]

[celest kettle]

i mean anything except

Like "But Sanna can't know this" but it doesn't use can?

[burnt scaffold]

well das Gehen is the nominalised version of gehen, the "regular" noun is der Gang

[fiery thorn]

Please scare us with German :D

[worn harbor]

faq cases

[tacit mauve]

Cases

Cases
German has four grammatical cases (der Fall or der Kasus in German): nominative, accusative, dative, and genitive. A case alters a noun, pronoun, adjective, etc., in some way to mark its grammatical function in a phrase, clause, or sentence. For example, the main function of the nominative (der Nominativ) case is to mark the subject in a sentence:

Ich liebe die deutsche Sprache!

In this sentence, the pronoun ich represents the first person subject and is in the nominative case. Every noun, pronoun, adjective, etc. has form in every case and it is very important to learn all of them. For example, the accusative form of ich is mich:

Die deutsche Sprache liebt mich!

See >explain adjective declension to get started on that. Don't get discouraged by how much there is, it takes some time master.

To see an explanation of the usages of every case, see their individual articles:
>explain nominative
>explain accusative
>explain dative
>explain genitive

[tranquil escarp]

Deal, read until the end of the page.

[fiery thorn]

[dry wyvern]

[proper spoke]

its good for accountability though, aside from that its not great

[dry wyvern]

Yes

[tranquil escarp]

I'd say it's not impossible but you'll need to actually show dedication to move between any two CEFR levels in a short timespan. It's a bit easier for the lower levels, but still you'll need constant every day work to accomplish it.

that's a good idea! I love kurzgesagt

I don't think so. You will mostly just focus on the English subtitles and not learn German

[candid pilot]

kurzgesagt is a nice channel, yeah

[native delta]

what if I focus on the German subtitles, and only use the English ones if I don't know what a word means?

[red raven]

you can look that word up without double subtitles

[worthy gate]

But I can tell you that I have learnt so much vocab out of songs

[fast bear]

I think watching the EN version first, then re-watch it in German

could help.

A lot of English idioms are the same in German, but yeah I agree trying to translate idioms in general is a bad idea.
For example "I'd say ______" is the same in German.

[candid pilot]

the what? can you spell it 😅 @ruby ocean

the example you used

[ruby ocean]

wegen dem Regen vs wegen des Regens

[candid pilot]

ah, I see

[native delta]

Is it better for learning German to read it or to write it?

[candid pilot]

so the second one (genitiv) is more typical in writing, while the former (dative) is more heard in spoken German?

[red raven]

the tip with wikipedia is

[worn harbor]

[candid pilot]

the thing with teaching pronunciation is that it depends which language you're teaching it from, like, the tricks ways to pronounce something might work in one native language, while they won't work in other one, tried to teach umlauts to a foreign friend the way I was taught to pronounce them and realized that her idea of some sounds is different than mine
