So, to everyone involved in the Broob pinging chains, it's been a fun few days, but the constant pings effectively make the channel rather unusable for people who would like to use it for actual conversations, and so we've decided not to do that anymore.

[hot cloak]

Want to here Wise words a frog told me

Wie er in den großartigen letzten Worten sagte: „Fürchte, kein Junge mehr sollst du retten, und Harmonie wird auf dieser Welt ruhen, wenn du deinen Namen rufst, in deinem inneren Frieden, soll für dich sprechen, diese Welt mag klein und grausam sein, aber wir lieben einander so wie wir wandle unter dieser Erde" Dein weiser Frosch

[kindred iris]

Very wise frog

[kindred iris]

Moin !

[glossy sail]

I still don't really know how to learn a language properly

I do flash cards, I try to read things in the target language

it just feels like I'm... missing something

[hot cloak]

i totally didnt write that

[exotic oxide]

talk to people

[glossy sail]

it's hard to talk to people

so many people just wanna talk to you in english

plus like...

my skill level is far too low to have anything coherent come out

[exotic oxide]

but not text

[kindred iris]

We all use translators at the very beginning

You can try having an extremely basic conversation with someone

Just like, greetings, and asking a bit about them

We can try a little if you'd like?

[kindred iris]

Texting is also important though, in our day and age we don't really use handwriting as often anymore, texting is also a good way to keep track of slang in the language you're learning and teach your fingers to spell

I made that mistake with french, and my level in conversation skills is horrid

[glossy sail]

oh jeez the thought of actually trying to talk with my current skills is just embarrassing lol

[kindred iris]

I'm horrible too don't worry

I'll start

Hallo!

[glossy sail]

Hallo!

argh I'm already overthinking

wie bist Sie?

[kindred iris]

You can use a translator, you can ask questions that's how you learn

Instead of that, you should say "wie geht's?"

We're practicing a very casual conversation

Now you try !

You can also say "wie geht es"

[glossy sail]

ahh, okay

[kindred iris]

It is the same thing, the first version is only condensed, I think you noticed that by now

[ivory girder]

Mashallah Bing BOng wo ist die Salatschüssel JA

sorry got carried away

[kindred iris]

Dei hallo

[glossy sail]

that does remind me

[kindred iris]

This is my friend dei they're very cool they can provide some feedback too if you'd like! Don't be intimidated they're lovely and won't judge you

[glossy sail]

I see 's sometimes in German but I don't exactly know what it is... is it a shortening of es?

[kindred iris]

In this case yes it is, I can't speak about others because I'm not informed enough

[glossy sail]

hmm...

[ivory girder]

sorry im gaming rn lol

it mostly is, never had another case where its something else

its mostly just used by the north/berlin people

[kindred iris]

Alright then, an dw dei have fun !

@glossy sail alright would you like to try and ask that once more?

[glossy sail]

so... wie geht es?

[kindred iris]

Es geht mir gut danke! Und dir?

[glossy sail]

ich bin...

müde

[kindred iris]

Oh nein !

Doing a great job

[glossy sail]

woher kommst Sie?

[kindred iris]

Alright here you made a conjugation mistake

If you would like to keep the Sie as the subject the sentence would be woher kommen Sie?

Which is the more formal way of asking

But if you wanted to match your conjugation you would say woher kommst du?

You can pick whichever one you like

[glossy sail]

oh, so it's conjugated as plural even if it's used as a polite singular... I see

I guess I should have known that because it's that way in french too

so, woher kommen Sie?

[kindred iris]

Ich komme aus Algerien, und Sie?

[glossy sail]

ich komme aus Kanada

[kindred iris]

Sehr cool !

Wie alt sind Sie?

[glossy sail]

ich bin 32 Jahre alt, und Sie?

[kindred iris]

Ich bin 21 !

Alright, so far so good?

You're doing well

The more you listen to/read conversations you'll pick up more questions you can ask and how to answer them

[glossy sail]

I still dislike having to pull up DeepL haha

[kindred iris]

You are A1 yes?

[glossy sail]

yeah... I'm just feeling like something's not there

err... is it possible to be less than A1?

[kindred iris]

Well yes it's called studying to be A1 but people just call it A1

It's very normal to use a translator

[glossy sail]

I don't believe I've achieved A1... I did try a test before starting to study at all and I got like 30% lol

[kindred iris]

And even higher level speakers need it sometimes, we're humans so don't feel guilty

It's very handy

[lapis dagger]

Hello guys

[kindred iris]

At some point, you'll stop needing it and know them all by heart !

Hi hello

[lapis dagger]

What are you talking about?

[kindred iris]

Just talking about german learning

[lapis dagger]

Aaaaa really difficult

[kindred iris]

Yeah it's a tricky subject !

Different things work for different people

[lapis dagger]

Yup but if the guy have a little age he can learned sooner than old ages !

[kindred iris]

Well yes scientifically younger people learn languages faster but that shouldn't discourage other learners

As soon as you find your learning style you'll do great

[glossy sail]

the "young" learning advantage tends to wear off by around... 12 or 13

for languages

[lapis dagger]

Thank you Sir, am just focusing to learn English right now, but bcz I love German ppl That’s why I’m in this server.

[kindred iris]

Good luck with your learning!

[lapis dagger]

Thank u Sir

[kindred iris]

Yeah it's nice to bring kids up bilingual

Useful for them later on in life too

Did the fear wear off a bit?

You can observe more conversations in #beginner-german

[lapis dagger]

My cousins can speaking German like real German, bcz of that !

[kindred iris]

That's very cool

[lapis dagger]

R U German?

[kindred iris]

Nope I'm not, but I'm learning the language

[lapis dagger]

Cool so, where r u from?

[kindred iris]

I'm from north africa!

It's getting pretty late here too so I'll get going now, have a nice one !

[sudden panther]

@crude ocean hello, please avoid reposting the same question across multiple channels (especially channels that are totally unrelated to your question), as it leads to people wasting their time on answering a question that has already been answered. The server is full of helpful people so it's enough to just ask in one channel like #942470380692590632 or #questions, and you'll get the answer. If you need to review what channel is used for which purpose, check out #channel-directory.

For your question in particular, feel free to run >faq akkusativ and >faq dativ in the #botchannel to see explanations that the community has already written.

[crude ocean]

Could anyone here explain me about accusative vs dativ case in german with clear explanation

[serene sinew]

heyyooo

[kindred iris]

Elo elo

[opal sequoia]

It's generally best to ask this kind of question in one of the #questions channels so that it's easier for people to see your question.

Accusative vs dative: both of these cases are for objects, but depends on what kind of object it is, the rules are a bit different. What I mean is that if it's the object of a verb or the object of a preposition, then the rules for which one to use are different.

Here's is a diagram that I made that shows you the different rules.

[shadow wyvern]

yea pictures like that seem discouraging

[opal sequoia]

You can see that if it's a verb with 1 object, 2 objects, or different types of prepositions, then the rule will be different.

[brazen moss]

Luckily most verbs are accusative - so that's also an approach.

[opal sequoia]

Comments like that are discouraging. The diagram is useful for a lot of people.

[shadow wyvern]

im sure it has, but its messy

[opal sequoia]

Sure, I just made it in paint in a few minutes.

But I don't think that really matters.

If you take more than a few seconds to look at it and understand it, it's pretty easy to understand.

[brazen moss]

When I'm learning, I'm always looking for the easy pattern or rule - but yeah, sometimes it doesn't exist and you just need to learn them one by one.

[shadow wyvern]

i understand it just fine because i already understand the rules, but if i didnt understand the rules, a messier photo can make it seem more complicated than it is

[opal sequoia]

Yeah, when you break it down into the categories, then each category has a simple rule to go with it.

So that works well for akk vs dat.

[opal sequoia]

Yeah. If the picture didn't come with any explanation, it might be difficult. But luckily, it comes with an explanation + people who can help explain it.

[brazen moss]

Right, just gotta follow the path of learning them one by one; nom -> akk -> dativ -> gen.

[shadow wyvern]

look i didnt mean to offend, im just saying that the photo looks a little intimidating

i also assumed it was a photo that wasnt thrown together in a couple minutes

[opal sequoia]

It's not really about offense or anything like that. But if you just say "X seems discouraging" without any kind of constructive criticism, then all you do is create doubt in any learner who reads your message. It doesn't benefit anyone, neither me, nor you, nor other learners.

If you have something constructive you want to say, that's very welcome.

[brazen moss]

@crude ocean A concise explanation probably might not the best thing for you, so yeah, I should probably suggest a reputable resource which I've used myself to satisfy your curiousty surrounding this topic: https://yourdailygerman.com/german-cases-accusative-dative/

[shadow wyvern]

this is a general chat, not the questions forum, i wasnt aware everything i say had to be constructive

[opal sequoia]

I was giving you constructive criticism for how to improve your feedback.

[shadow wyvern]

naja danke schön, but i wasnt really trying to give feedback with my statement because i assumed you just found the picture on google

[brazen moss]

It's a german learning server; it's definitely part of the vibe to be constructive. Should be anyway, if you're giving feedback about something.

[shadow wyvern]

i get where you guys are coming from, and ill remember that, no ill will.
i just feel like i was perceived as being intentionally illwilled when i wasnt

[brazen moss]

Idk, you just voiced your opinion, which is obvs fine.

But if you're saying the diagram is discouraging, maybe you could help the person who had the question and provide them something else?

Whatever would be better, according to your opinion.

[opal sequoia]

That's another reason why approaching stuff constructively is a really good approach in a learning space. Criticising stuff in a non-constructive way will almost always come across as ill-willed, especially when you follow it up with comments like "this is a general chat, not the questions forum, i wasnt aware everything i say had to be constructive" which make it sound like you don't care about being constructive/helpful.

[shadow wyvern]

it was the first thing i saw when i tuned in. I kinda just said the first thing that came to mind

[opal sequoia]

I'm planning to redraw it soon anyway so I will post an updated version once I have time to do that.

[hard patrol]

Hi

[kindred iris]

Hello

[sudden panther]

@hot cloak hello, when using the #942470380692590632, you are notifying a lot of people who have notifications on for that channel in order to see actual questions. Casual conversations and jokes are fine in any of the General Discussion channels, but abusing the parts of this server that are meant for learning can get you blocked from them.

[hot cloak]

i am sorry. i hope all other mayonaise lovers can understand

[warm kraken]

Hello

Anyone here from Germany

Are srh university heidelberg and iu University bad honneff good

[glossy sail]

argh, it feels very bad to fall behind on your flash cards because you're not remembering things

studying gives me a headache... lol

[hot cloak]

literally me every single time i study

are there any solutions for this

[rapid jay]

wassup guys

am new here a started learning german this week 1A i wanna know if there’s a group chat for ppl who r learning or native in german

[valid crystal]

This is literally the purpose of this whole server

[barren urchin]

idk i just started too

[barren urchin]

but sometimes its in full german

[barren urchin]

there needs to be

[valid crystal]

Most learners are in #beginner-german since #german-only is kinda the native chat ... unfortunately more natives are there than learners which is quite a sad thing

So if you just started I recommend you start in #beginner-german since ... that's the whole point of it

[barren urchin]

they still talk in pretty advanced german for people like me

[valid crystal]

Yeah, that can unfortunately happen

Then I'd recommend you just tell em to explain themselves

[barren urchin]

ok whatever

[shadow wyvern]

#beginner-german isnt restricted to only german so you can ask people in english to explain themselves

besides its beneficial to be around others at least a little bit of a higher level
if you understand everything youre not learning

does the discord server has a support waitingroom?

[valid crystal]

#report-issue

[swift hemlock]

i mean to talk with a mod

[valid crystal]

Yeah

That's the place for that

Open a ticket

And then tell em

[swift hemlock]

the only thing i want to ask it is when they edit my ticket

[valid crystal]

Uhhh, they react as soon as possible if that's what you mean

[swift hemlock]

soon as possible 10 hours of waiting now

[valid crystal]

I mean did you open a ticket?

[swift hemlock]

yes of course

[valid crystal]

Hmm

Then maybe ping them again

In the ticket I mean

[swift hemlock]

i ping the moderator over 20 minutes ago

[valid crystal]

Ah okay

Well, it's almost 1am

[swift hemlock]

i know

[valid crystal]

So maybe they'll react a bit late

Since mods also have a life besides discord and all

[swift hemlock]

i know that the people have a life besides discord

my ticket is open since one day

[valid crystal]

Yeah, maybe they just didn't notice it

What's the issue if I may ask

[swift hemlock]

der eine mod hat schon einmal geantwortet das mein text keine geschichte ist und seitdem ich eine geschichte da geschrieben habe tut sich da nix

[valid crystal]

So you're applying for native speaker role???

[swift hemlock]

ja

[valid crystal]

Ah

[swift hemlock]

du hast es erfasst

[valid crystal]

Dann können wir uns ja das Englisch sparen

[swift hemlock]

ja stimmt

[valid crystal]

Ja okay, das dauert generell länger

[swift hemlock]

uff

[valid crystal]

Kann auch Tage dauern

Das ist normal

Da brauchst du einfach Geduld

[swift hemlock]

aha

[valid crystal]

Was soll man machen

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[swift hemlock]

keine ahnung

voll die schwere aufgabe die man da machen soll

[valid crystal]

Das geht doch locker

Hat man in 3 Minuten runtergeschrieben

[swift hemlock]

nein geht nicht locker

3 minuten

[valid crystal]

Es muss ja nichtmal Sinn ergeben

Das muss nur irgendwie lose zusammenhängen

[swift hemlock]

hat es auch nicht aber die v1 ist war keine geschichte v2 ist noch in der warteschlange

[valid crystal]

Wie gesagt, geduld

Mehr kannst du nicht machen

[swift hemlock]

@slate cipher hi, we've noticed that the majority of your interactions in #beginner-german are in English, so please note that as the channel name says, it is primarily meant for conversations in German. We only allow English when a language-related question/matter needs to be explained or clarified. If your German isn't yet at a level where you can have simple conversations, feel free to talk to people in #general or #general-2.

You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you

[dusky garnet]

Huh

[junior granite]

I picked you out, I shook you up
And turned you around
Turned you into someone new

[orchid wren]

Are these song lyrics?

[junior granite]

Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you

[merry inlet]

I think they are lmao

[junior granite]

But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too.

Don't. Don't you want me?
You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me

Random question: what German fairytale did you like as a kid

[small idol]

Why do people put the verb before ich when not asking a question

Like I see people do habe ich instead of ich habe

[celest thunder]

Weiß Ich nicht

[errant nacelle]

answer: because that's the way it is

[coarse palm]

It depends on the way the sentence is formed

[errant nacelle]

but you can also imagine that there is a "das" at the beginning of the sentence

(Das) habe ich
(Das) weiß ich nicht

but you meant questions

those always start with the verb

miau

[hot cloak]

How do you ask "do you listen to ---?"

Hallo

[sudden panther]

@hot cloak heyo, do note that client modifications are against Discord's Terms of Service and our rules. As you saw, when you use them, you're essentially running code that you don't know, so just as it replaced your text with an emoji, a malicious extension could easily be giving others access to your account. So while custom styles are cool and it's sad that Discord doesn't support them by default, we still highly advise against any form of client modifications and our rules forbid them.

[hot cloak]

Ohhh I see.

[hot cloak]

What’s that mean?

[gaunt halo]

[small idol]

They basically saying don’t use modded clients

So no BetterDiscord

Well, it's kind of a relief to hear I'm not the only one who gets this phase (somewhere around A2/B1, I think) where all words kind of look and feel the same. :D
moving it here so I don't crowd the questions chat:

if you have struggles achieving the intuition of the particular use and meaning for each word, I would suggest that you learn with plenty sample sentences that showcase different uses, in case you don't already do this. also, actually using them in context yourself (and ideally having somebody check it for you just in case) helps a lot with really understanding the overall character of the word

@cobalt tapir

[strong gulch]

My girl’s parents already know about us and are ok with it. But my parents are complicated

[barren urchin]

I love that we’re here just sharing our lives on the internet hahahah

[barren urchin]

[barren urchin]

[strong gulch]

[barren urchin]

im sorry about that

Yeah, we try our best to keep people like that out. But unfortunately there's a problem where a lot of people don't report stuff to us.

But if you see anything like that, definitely feel free to contact us.

[strong gulch]

Good luck, ma’am

[barren urchin]

ty and to you

[strong gulch]

Yeah, I get the moderating part and how it’s hard to keep track of some things sometimes. But it happens pretty frequently when it comes to prejudice against the lgbt community

But thanks, bud!

[strong gulch]

Thanks ♡︎

@old shale hello, since piracy is against Discord's Terms of Service, you can't ask people for PDFs of paid books on this server.

[peak crypt]

ok so I just have to automatically choose the right case

[celest thunder]

its confusing and hard to get used to it instinctually

[peak crypt]

not super hard but the combination of cases (also for articles ffs),semi-random genders and the word order makes it harder than others for sure

[left jolt]

its not really harder than many many languages

technically an "easier" language

[peak crypt]

exactly

[celest thunder]

but in terms of objectively being hard in all senses, absolutely not

[manic merlin]

Right.

[peak crypt]

starting is a bit confusion but after that I think german is a really logical language

[left jolt]

it is

[peak crypt]

you can get to many words just by logic

[manic merlin]

But learning a new language is never going to be easy.

[peak crypt]

like lightbulb

glühbirne ahahaha

[left jolt]

every native speaker of a language says the same

weil sie einfach kein plan davon ham

[peak crypt]

yeah can’t argue with that 😂

but i love how it sounds,unpopular opinion I know ahaha

[left jolt]

dutch is the aggressive language

german literally isnt

[peak crypt]

true

or danish

danish pronunciation is next level

german one is not hard for the most part

[left jolt]

Georgian pronunciation is next level

[hot cloak]

Wait til you try to pronounce Russian or Arabic

[willow barn]

@warped tide I'm happy for those who do find it peaceful to pray, but personally it does not make me feel any better

It hasn't since I was quite young

[warped tide]

Just give it another chance

PLEASE

[willow barn]

I’ve given it many chances. I used to pray constantly when I needed Allah most, but his salvation never came. So I find it futile

The constrains of religion itself I find deeply disturbing. But if you want to continue let’s move to #archived-sensitive-topics

[warped tide]

It is a test of patience

[flint lake]

How patient can someone be?

I relate to you @willow barn

[warped tide]

@flint lake Are you a Muslim?

[flint lake]

yeah

not a practicing one but yes

I was born muslim

[warped tide]

Where are you from?

[flint lake]

the United States

[willow barn]

I’m the same Double A, just not practicing

[flint lake]

🇺🇸

[willow barn]

Humans are rational, they move on when something fails them

[flint lake]

preach bro

[willow barn]

Personally my patience has been tested enough

[flint lake]

same

[willow barn]

But I won’t judge other people’s decisions to practice/not practice

[flint lake]

yeah of course

[warped tide]

Do not say just
This is a trauble
Read about the people who do not pray

[willow barn]

Many, many people who don’t pray are happy

Myself included

[flint lake]

exactly

if anything now that I've taken control of my life and stopped relying on the divine, I've felt much better

but I understand those that resonate with religion

[willow barn]

On a personal level it’s liberating, I’m happy for you

[warped tide]

I do not talk about happiness in this life
I am talking about the happiness in the nest life

[flint lake]

who's to say that's real?

[willow barn]

Yeah, I can’t believe in an afterlife either

[flint lake]

I resonate with you @warped tide because there was a time where I was religious too

[warped tide]

So, you are saying you are not a Muslim?

[flint lake]

but you have to open your eyes at some point

[willow barn]

I implied earlier that I’m on the fence between a non practicing Muslim and atheist

[flint lake]

I'm a Muslim morally

I practice morality

[warped tide]

Muslims HAVE to believe in the next life

[solid bison]

I see you're talking about islam

Can i join

[flint lake]

well, then maybe I'm not muslim

[willow barn]

Of course tosca

[flint lake]

yeah ofc bro

[solid bison]

I am Muslim

[flint lake]

yeah hop in here

[solid bison]

Bro

[willow barn]

Then yes, perhaps I’m not it either

[flint lake]

I believe in the afterlife but not the way most Muslims advertise it

[solid bison]

Do you believe in 1 god, and his prophet Muhammad, his angels, heaven and hell?

[warped tide]

Do you think this is fine?

[solid bison]

If so, then ur Muslim

[flint lake]

I think there is another modem of existence after death, but not the afterlife as preached by Islam exactly

[flint lake]

is there a problem?

[warped tide]

Of course

[solid bison]

Mikasa

[willow barn]

Personally no, so I guess I don’t qualify anymore

[solid bison]

Can you chill a bit pls?

[warped tide]

What?

[flint lake]

I believe in the prophet, I believe that there is someone out there watching over us, and I believe at the end of the day we'll all be judged somehow

But I don't believe in God, heaven and hell, or angels

really

[warped tide]

K

[flint lake]

but I think there's something like that out there

[solid bison]

Agnostic?

[flint lake]

yeah that'd be the best way to describe it

but i was born Muslim

[willow barn]

I believe that there must be a higher form of existence than us. But not a romanticised deity(ies) that most religions portray it as

[solid bison]

Not all people will agree with you and they all won't believe ik what you believe so saying that what they're doing is a big problem is not such a problem for them so don't get nervous

[flint lake]

I'm willing to entertain @warped tide's point

[solid bison]

Ok bro so basically you are not sure if god is there or not?

[flint lake]

please tell me why being non-Muslim is a problem

[warped tide]

But the truth is it's a problem

[flint lake]

Yeah

I'm not sold on the idea completely

[solid bison]

Yeah ik but we gotta be calm

[flint lake]

how so?

[solid bison]

Look then

[warped tide]

K

[solid bison]

Everything has a creator, even discord does have one

Nothing comes from nothing

[willow barn]

It may be a problem to you, but please be more respectful about it. We are not casting shadows of doubt on your decision to practice Islam, so I ask you kindly not to do the same with us

[willow barn]

Do you believe in creation or evolution?

[flint lake]

yes thats basic logic

[willow barn]

The Big Bang, if you believe in it, technically is something out of nothing, though no one can explain why haha

[flint lake]

well, the Big Bang theory does have the singularity, which is a single point in space, which technically is SOMETHING

Thats the way I see it

[willow barn]

Ah fair point

[solid bison]

So basically, something magically had happened to create the earth and our universe

[flint lake]

its science not magic 💀

[solid bison]

After all bro, it is a theory no one lived and saw everything

[flint lake]

did anyone see God create the Universe?

[solid bison]

Good question tbh

[flint lake]

not tryna be disrespectful just asking

genuinely

I'd really like to learn more

[solid bison]

But we also didn't live the see who did

[willow barn]

Science has very slowly but surely explained almost all of the world around us. And the big bang theory is one very accurate model with the given information we have. But we don’t have all of it, but if we do, then I believe the theory can be concluded. Just trust the process of science in my opinion

[flint lake]

thats a fair point

[solid bison]

Look bro

[flint lake]

It could also be possible we're all in a simulation like the Matrix or something 😂

[willow barn]

I’m Neo 😎

[solid bison]

I was just thinking like yall until i asked a religious man

He said smth that convinced me

[flint lake]

what did he tell you?

[warped tide]

There are evidences proof that Alla is the god

[flint lake]

the Quran?

[solid bison]

If we claim that god is real, and see all the religions and compare them

[flint lake]

ok

[warped tide]

A lots of evidences

[flint lake]

like?

[solid bison]

( no hate to any religions ) then islam would the best pick

[flint lake]

ok

why?

[solid bison]

Well

That's another topic

[flint lake]

😂

[solid bison]

You can compare religions on your own

[flint lake]

yeah thats fair

[solid bison]

Whatever you think the religion is

Let's say Christianity is the true religion

You will either be a christian to enter heaven, otherwise, you're going to burn in hell

[willow barn]

I would agree with tosca. If we assume the Abrahamic God is real, then Islam seems the most likely candidate

[flint lake]

but see, just assuming isn't enough

we need proof

[solid bison]

Bro

[flint lake]

but for this experiment let's assume

proceed

[solid bison]

Proof? Just look how is the world was created isn't that a proof?

[flint lake]

big bang?

But I digress

[solid bison]

Big bang

What was before bigbang?

[flint lake]

please explain the rest of what you were gonna say

[willow barn]

I don’t think tosca said that to prove that Allah is real, but just as a statement as to why he finds Islam to be the most valid religion. Correct me if I’m wrong

[flint lake]

the singularity 💀
