yeah exactly
i guess you could call it positional grammar
time is pretty strictly in like the 3rd spot of the sentence
ik kan om 3 uur
but you can swap it, just not very natural to me
so you couldn’t do „verlede jaar het ek die Toets geskryf"?
verlede jaar = next year?
last
and geskryf?
yeah
i just learned that
that word is pretty normal actually
just that it's either vorig or vorige depending on if it's a de/het word
thank god we don't have that in afrikaans
imagine having genders 
w afrikaans
tbf like 80% of words are de
wow gender discrimination
unironically the hardest thing i had with german in the beginning was genders
german is more balanced
die trips me up
also whenever i don’t know a german gender i just automatically go back to die
die feels so normal to me
because we have die in dutch but it's used more like ''that''
tech you're die biased
understandable
i usually notice early learners default to der/das but never die
from what ive seen
where my die defaulters at 😔
i'm used to only 2 so i mess up a bit
you guys killed neuter
going from no genders in my languages to 3 was not fun
you should've taken the dutch route
F
it indeed is
I could probably bs my way through dutch fine
the vocab is the annoying part
@real ice hiiiiii
wel jammer
ik some afrikaans speakers got jobs with dutch companies cuz they spoke with an accent 😭
klok
ooh the lack of wel in German also took a day to start feeling normal
what is wel
doesn't exist in english
wel jammer looks like was ein jammer
wel is like a emphasiser word
it emphasises the word after
wel goed, wel slecht, wel moeilijk, wel makkelijk
does it exist in afrikaans @orchid crypt
best way i can put it is that you can never use it if you don't want
idk if that makes sense
fok is fick?
but it's very common to hear as more or less a filler word
ja
yeah exactly
it’s a filler word
same as graag
why jou
cuz it’s like uhhh
that's like the possesive pronoun
subject vs object vibes
yeah
wat is jou naam
yeah
fuck idk how to explain the differences
jou is possesive pronoun!!
hoe heet je
is more common to ask in Dutch
but it’s also like used with the akkusativ case ig
ek sien jou
I see you
ek sien jy wouldnt make any sense
if it’s being affected it changes
ok so accusative exists
bonk @devout elm
You have prescribed 147 bonks to @devout elm. 
jy sien my?
yes but no one calls it that really
you see me
i just say that because ik u would get it
oh you guys have julle
i fucking hate
sy
sy was genuinely my enemy in school
who designed sy its so shit
@orchid crypt is there a heißen equivalent in afrikaans?
yes
you wont guess what it is
ever
heet
is it uncommon?
more personal ig
even i understand that
no like a small general conversation
ek leer vir teen maande?
we also could do a more complex convo
ek weet nie
jammer
b2
waarschijnlijk op A2 of B1 ofzo als je een wel grote zin wilt maken
what’s ofzo
ben je ooit naar Azie op vakantie gegaan? @orchid crypt
or so
ek woon in Duitsland
dus nog nooit naar Azie op vakantie dan?
ok so woon exists, i learned bly so far
also in Dutch
ek bly in n woonstel
this one hurts my brain
is dus du?
dus = so
nog nooit = still never
naar azie = to asia
op vakantie = on holiday
dan = than
ic
asië>>>
probably best to ask you but did you understand a lot?
i would say i could understand the jist but not fully
sometimes a word trips me up and then i get confused
yeah same as me dw
Dutch does rarely
Asië
Azië
only ë?
nah
i think german pitied dutch and gave them this letter
sê
who doesn’t pity them
dit reën
me
@crystal kindle do you also combine dit + is= dis
@lost marsh btw like no one ever uses „u“ as a pronoun
fairs then
maybe if you got official documents they’d use u
jij also exists though
dafuq that
formal of je
you
julle?
jullie = you all
jij
im probably gonna accidentally learn dutch too
at this rate
do you have almal?
there supposed to be like 80% transversal
julle almal
what's that
nah just jullie
well all of you more specifically is like almal van julle but julle almal you all
yeah we just do jullie
it’s so interesting to see where the languages speak
Afrikaans just hurts my brain
dutch also
but like we'd probably get 70-80% of the conversation with each other
but that 20-30% is a wow
80% sounds high until youre in a conversation 😭
yeahhhh
probs not
lemme pull up my fav poem
I wanna say here also, dit and deze both mean this
genders 😎
i've heard it's easier for Dutch speakers to understand Afrikaans than for Afrikaans speakers to understand Dutch
I think the genders really messes it up
dead internet theory is real it’s so hard to find stuff nowadays
yes
why do yall got genders in the big 2026
😭
w afrikaans
afrikaans deadass the most simple language out there
this is defo true then
what about separate verbs?
aankommen for example
we have them also
here is cape afrikaans not the poem i wanted though
lekke = nice?
lekker
lekker is more used with food
lekke is very weird in afrikaans because it’s a part of south african english
but anything good is lekker
okay
we do lekker = nice, tasty etc and leuk = nice, cool, etc
yeah so someone did that before and we thought it was weird
''lekkere vrouw'' being nice woman
but with this context it can read a bit odd
interesting
lekka is also the more common way it’s like said
because again it’s grown out of afrikaans
if i say „yeah that was lekka jol“
vibes
evryone gets me
deffo it’s hella straightforward even for english speakers (imo) so if you know dutch it’s definitely easier
Other languages = english chat lmao
tbf we mixed in some Dutch/Afrikaans 🙈
guy who doesn’t read anything
I read
I just saw mostly english but ik there are other languages, it's ironic
Πρεπει να μιλαμε σε διαφορετοικες γλωσσες ωστε να κανουμε αυτο το μερος σαν το πυργος της βαββελ
Μιλεί ελλινικα ;
I'm learning greek
Ναι
Paw sto Crete
Όχι
Ταξιδι?
I'm just travelling
Νταξει καλο
I'm not good in greek
Oh ok
I'm learning since 5 days 😭
Oh sheesh hahah
I can understand basic things
You are better than the average 5 day-long learner lol
I use ChatGPT for words list
And grammar
Good
And also duolingo
Do you know the most frequent words series?
I didn't learn a lot since
I mean the book series
4 books total 10k words. Very good for word lists. Word, translation, example sentence and translation of the sentence
All in frequency order from most frequent to less frequent
Very good stuff indeed, couldnt recommend it more
A few verbs, nouns
You're native ?
I'm trying to learn it fr
I mean not only for the trip
Nope
I was talking about the most frequent words book series
Thats great, greek is a very interesting language, youll enjoy it
I'm native french so some words are sightreadable
Ex : χρώμα
Chroma
But others are harder
Yeah greek shares a good bit of vocabulary with romance languages plus their common suffixes, prefixes and radicals that often have the same meanings
But most of the language's vocab is constituted by greek origin stuff that is not present in other languages so this part is harder
@frigid hinge greek is a cool language to learn
French from France or Belgium?
Also just a correction as a native English speaker
In your bio: “all I’ve to say” is incorrect, I don’t know the grammar behind it but we don’t use contractions in certain instances
I’ve got to say
Or I have to say
Both work
Il y a aussi des cantons francophones
i don't speak french
this is incredibly normal in Irish English so i see no problem with using it
I doubt OP is trying to speak Irish English
probably not but also pretty common in British English
Oh yeah definitely
Just not grammatically correct
And if especially when one is trying to learn a language they should avoid learning such slang if they haven’t developed the Sprachgefühl
i won't argue that because idk how grammar works in English
Idk if there’s a word for that lol
thats british english core
Thx
Editing 🛠️
Done
France
I'm not trying to speak irish nah
My english is a bit british tho but I don't think that's a valuable reason...
I've nothing
Other languages = english chat lmao
aluu

hola
Does anyone know a french learning server?
If u want a server to learn a language try using chat gpt to find, i found this server on him
Provavelmente porquê é a língua universal da internet
Look for it on reddit
Mas eu por exemplo falo português e entendo espanhol também
Try the french learning community there, usually these language learning communities have their official discord servers on their wiki
And if it is not there just try searching discord inside the community and you'll find it for sur
I found one
Thqnks
Its just thqt i dont know any other place to ask for interesting french youtube videos to listen to haha
necōmpraehendō
Latim, interessante
If youre wondering what language im talking, thats Brazilian portuguese
né h₁oynom ģn̥néh₃mi
Im pretty sure ts is not a language
proto indo european i think
From what i found, thats not really a speakable language
i mean it is
túh₂ ǵn̥néh₃si?
né (idk im guessing like basically everything here)
it is but just way too old to understand without a lot of learning
subjective, but as for *ǵneh₃- you maybe can see some similarities to: Germanic können, can; Lithuanian žinoti and Latvian zināt; Latin gnoscō
Makes sense that’s what I thought
yippie i guessed it
i would not know how to form sentences in PIE even with a dictionary
it is a really cool language though
me too, like in my sentence idrk what word order it should've been
I am also new here
Deu para perceber
Quando li o interessante "chutei" que fosse brasileiro tbm
Pior q tem bem pouco brasileiro nesse server
Melhor evitar (finja que no lugar deste parênteses têm nossa característica risada)
Eu diria que entre nós brasileiros, alemão não é uma língua muito bem vista (finja que há a risada aqui)
É verdade
As pessoas acham mto difícil também
E tem os estoriotipos q eu e vc sabemos doq eu me refiro

O que pega no alemão é que sua origem é totalmente diferente do português
Então a intuição vai pra casa do chapéu
Ent
É tipo aprender a andar denovo
Eu estudo francês e por vezes a mera intuição no francês ajuda um pouco na hora de usar este idiomaag
é completamente diferente
Agora alemão é mais hard
No máximo ajuda eu saber inglês
Sim, pois são idiomas próximos
Qual teu nível em alemão, meu caro?
Sinceramente da pra dizer q zero
Tô aprendendo o alfabeto ainda
(risada)
Eu só tenho um francês meia boca (finja que há a risada aqui)
Tu usas o que para estudar?
Je connais un serveur très bon
Youtube
Opa, desculpem interromper mas qual é o estereótipo? Fiquei curiosa agr
Tu tocaste num ponto interessante, "esteriótipo"
Assim, eu deveria ter utilizado outros termos quando escrevi, eu quis dizer, precisamente, que no Brasil o alemão não me parece ser uma língua muito bem quista, as pessoas preferem aprender mais, o inglês, o espanhol e francês.
Até japonês deve ser mais estudado aqui que alemão
Agora tomando por base esteriótipo, alemão sofre um problema grave por conta da história da Alemanha e de umas birras culturais, como do sul do Brasil com resto dele
Isto é apenas como eu enxergo as coisas, não é nada fundamentado ou coisa do gênero
Às vezes há uma comunidade imensa de alemão no Brasil e eu não faço ideia
Ah tá certo, já entendi!
Faz sentido o espanhol e o francês por estarem mais próximas do português
Mas japonês não sabia
No caso do japonês tomei por base a galera que curti anime
Com certeza uma parte dessa galera deve estudar japonês
Full achismo meu
Verdade 😅
Enfim, como tá teu nível de alemão? Você usa o que para estudar?
O meu entre A1/A2 só comecei alguns meses atrás
Uso flashcards, podcasts, livros para iniciantes, YouTube. E tu?
Só uso Busuu e Duolingo
E ainda sou bem iniciante
Às vezes assisto alguns vídeos no YouTube, pelo Easy German
O Busuu eu recomendo fortemente e o Duolingo só uso pois não quero perder 550 dias de ofensiva
Hahaha imagino
Sim já ouvi falar bem
E easy German também é fixe, já vou apanhando algumas frases sem legendas
Fixe?
Você é de Portugal?
Livro é interessante
Terias alguma recomendação?
Eu li a frase outra vez e percebi que ia denunciar
Mas sim kkk
A série Nico lernt deutsch. É recomendada para A1/A2, mas com A0 eu já entendia algumas coisas
Não entendi
Eu não queria ofender ou coisa do tipo, é que "fixe" eu considero um termo muito característico dos Portugueses
Români?
Ihhh
Vou pôr meu A-0 pra teste então
Portuguese
Eu nao falao portuguese
Portuguese from Brazil and Portugal
Não ofendeste, sem problema. Mas realmente o “fixe” é dos portugueses
Non
Mais tu as utilisé un mot Français
English deutsch română

Dar limba ta este înrudită cu noi.
Il ny a aucun mot français dedans
Não vou mentir, mesmo sendo brasileiro adoro falar fixe
Eu uso fixe como se fosse poggers
Ape angla combfianiust perca arsmatiam anouihimu.
u speakest Angolian
Basque?
No idea
Doesn't sound like anything I am acquainted with
Sounds vaguely romance
not very Italic at least

tfw no discord server to spam questions in
ik ging naar werk vs ik heb naar werk gegaan

om..te is infitive what
it's weird that toe comes after the object/destination
sometimes you drop om
9/10 times om te is what you use in general but sometimes you drop om

@orchid crypt whats the function of these 2 words
die aand is the evening
i personally would’ve said in die aand
which sounds more natural to me
i forgot exactly how order of time is tbh
doesnt gisteraand
already mean that
"i have yesterday evening 6 o clock in the evening outwent"

I went last evening six o clock in the evening out go
unless they’re implying it as the place
then they mean they went into the evening
ig
is that a normal way to say it?
honestly the deck could just be wacky who knows
Yoo
nah it’s honestly double repeating itself
I just joined this server
like if you mentioned the evening already you wouldn’t do it again
dopple gemoppelt
yea
