[timid hornet]

guys how do I get good at German

[foggy linden]

Fr

It’s so much harder than I expected

[timid hornet]

yeh

I only know like 3 words

[foggy linden]

unlike Spanish

[timid hornet]

[timid hornet]

is Spanish easy

[foggy linden]

If you speak French, absolutely

[timid hornet]

I’m learning French in dschool

[foggy linden]

There are cognates

But I think German has more?

With English, that is

But French and Spanish have a 75% lexical similarity

[timid hornet]

oh

French is kind of hard

not too hard tho

[foggy linden]

There are no easy languages to learn

They’re all hard

There are languages that are generally *easier to learn though, depending on the languages you already speak

Immersion is crucial

[timid hornet]

hmmm

[foggy linden]

I haven’t had the chance to immerse myself in German—I think I’ll do that once I’ve done enough of Busuu

I’m clearly not even A1 though after over a month of learning

I’m currently taking a break though

[modern barn]

I feel like that's kind of normal

You just need some time

[foggy linden]

I guess I was expecting faster because of how I learned Spanish

[modern barn]

Even if you're taking a break you can still passively learn and motivate yourself with music and series and that kinda thing

I guess as a French speaker it must've been way easier

[foggy linden]

It was

[modern barn]

Is your native language French then?

[foggy linden]

It’s actually Russian, French is my third

[modern barn]

Ooooo

I'm learning French as my 4th atm

[foggy linden]

What other languages do you speak?

[modern barn]

English, Polish and German

[foggy linden]

Ooh Polish

I have Polish ancestry lol

Cool

[modern barn]

I can read Cyrillic though, I learned Russian for quite a bit in the past

[timid hornet]

[foggy linden]

How’d you learn German?

[modern barn]

So since slavic languages are really similar I can't get the jist of things

[modern barn]

Through pain and suffering

[foggy linden]

Oh yeah, sometimes I catch a few words here and there while listening to other Slavic languages

[modern barn]

Nah mostly through fun and just engaging with the language a lot

[foggy linden]

Haha when did you start?

I feel like if I were to interact with this server a whole lot, I’d learn faster—with ChatGPT as a supplement

[modern barn]

omfg there is a massive stink bug in my room and it just flew at my head

jumpscare

[foggy linden]

I feel drained when I use Discord too much though 🥲 so other methods would have to do

[modern barn]

Like 4 years ago, although I used duolingo for a bit as a younger teen too

[foggy linden]

That was me with Spanish when I started studying it more intensively

[modern barn]

Tbh there is all kinds of ways, I think if you find servers exhausting it might be worth finding a language exchange partner / or multiple and just calling with them would be fine too

[foggy linden]

I had a base and knew a lot of basic grammar and cognates from English and French both thanks to Language Transfer, and from there it only took a few months to become conversational

[foggy linden]

Through a language exchange app?

[modern barn]

What I find super helpful is just calling and reading a text together, that way you can point out when somebody makes a pronunciation mistake or when someone has a question about a word

You do need patience for that method though

[modern barn]

Nah discord works too tbh

I find the language exchange apps to be kinda like glorified dating apps tbh

the people on there are a bit odd

[foggy linden]

I don’t like getting dms too often, but Ig if I schedule calls it wouldn’t be too bad

Lol

[modern barn]

Oooo I've done Language transfer too

[foggy linden]

I had a fine experience when I was learning Brazilian Portuguese

Just had to find someone of the same gender

[modern barn]

Although I've only tried it for Greek, Turkish and French in the past, and not for that long

[foggy linden]

It’s great for Spanish

Language Transfer

I’ve only done the first 10 lessons for German

[modern barn]

Yeah that's fair, honestly if you have a thriving social life I wouldn't want to invest too much of my energy online either if I were you, I'm not sure how old you are but if you're in uni then you could see if there is a language exchange group meeting, there usually is

[modern barn]

I really love his method honestly

[foggy linden]

Agreedddde

Lol the e at the end

[modern barn]

I somehow managed to do a big portion of the Greek course purely because I found him super engaging

[foggy linden]

Im a big fan

[modern barn]

Wait I just drew the connection but is your pfp a screenshot from animal jam?

[foggy linden]

Sure is

[modern barn]

I used to be obsessed with that game 😭

[foggy linden]

Same 😭 not even obsessed, addicted

af

I had issues

[modern barn]

I'd watch all these youtubers playing it too

[foggy linden]

Same!

[modern barn]

it was the replacement for my club penguin addiction as a kid lol

[foggy linden]

Like WisteriaMoon, Aparri, etc

[modern barn]

exactly

I still remember their names

[foggy linden]

I played it till I was 15, after that I came back on a few times

[modern barn]

Wisteriamoon was the best though

[foggy linden]

I think the last time I was on was over a year ago

Yesss

[modern barn]

Is it still thriving or kinda dead?

[timid hornet]

does anyone reomend any apps or websites to learn more

[modern barn]

I haven't really heard anything about it for a long time tbh

[foggy linden]

It is kinda dead now

[modern barn]

There's plenty in #resources I think

[foggy linden]

Also people testing the limits of the chat system if you know what I mean 💀

It’s mostly edgy teens now

At least it was when I was still on

[modern barn]

I guess the kids today don't really care to play it so it's all the teens reliving their childhood memories now

like Club penguin rewritten

[foggy linden]

Yeah, there are still some kids—but yeah it is mostly teenagers

I played until I was a teen myself

[modern barn]

It was a great game though, I loved how they integrated animal facts into the game and made it educational

[modern barn]

I think I was too

Although I probably stopped playing it at around 15 or so

[foggy linden]

It’s a capitalism simulator now lol at least that’s how most people use it

[modern barn]

Oh did the whole trading system become an even bigger thing?

Or do you mean people buying in game items

[foggy linden]

There’s an ever-changing trading system and people trying to get rare in the game

[modern barn]

I remember when that one collar was so rare and everyone wanted it

good times

[foggy linden]

😭

Can say I succeeded in getting rare, but mostly thanks to luck

I remember I was in this AJ server and I was winning every other giveaway it was crazy

I also won one of the rarest items in the game in an AJ contest

On their Instagram page

[modern barn]

it's weird because I can genuinely not remember when I actually played it, it was such a twilight zone part of my life lol

[foggy linden]

By the end of my time on it, I was just doing giveaways

[modern barn]

I wonder if you could technically sell that for real money if you wanted to

[timid hornet]

WIAT how do I say how are you in German

[modern barn]

some people like to collect things like that

[modern barn]

Wie geht es dir/Ihnen

[foggy linden]

Absolutely

I feel bad letting go of all my rares though 😭 I gave away a lot of them because it was fun

I did a MrBeast style last to leave challenge

Also a guess the song concert theme

[modern barn]

Okay that's super fun honestly

[foggy linden]

Ikr

I’d also dress up as Bepper and go around giving people stuff, pretending to be a kind of Santa Claus

It was great

Ohh right there was another challenge where I’d hide somewhere in the world and have people find me

[foggy linden]

What I didn’t give away I think I’ll probably keep, but that’s a probably—we’ll see!

[modern barn]

You should do what you feel like doing anyways, either option is fine

[foggy linden]

I have considered it

[modern barn]

Although if you never go on the account again it might be fun to make a couple kids days before leaving completely

[foggy linden]

I think I thought I would sell my stuff when I was able to, but once I became an adult I realized I’m too attached

Attachment > profits

[modern barn]

Well sometimes it's just a nice source of comfort to leave things the way they are too

[foggy linden]

Tempting though, I’d get a few hundred dollars

Absolutely

[modern barn]

I think if I spent a ton of time on a cozy game and had everything grinded to a really high level then I'd probably feel sad about handing it over too

[foggy linden]

Magenta socks were my dream item

I didn’t think it was possible I’d get them

It’s true, once you’ve developed a personal connection to an object, it’s like it becomes a part of you

[foggy linden]

Thank you! Do you play any video games?

[modern barn]

I used to quite a bit but not so much anymore tbh, I just don't find it that fun to be stuck at my PC unless I'm playing with friends

I used to play Valheim, Stardew Valley, Terraria, Pokemon etc

[foggy linden]

Fair enough! I don’t play much of video games myself, only a bit of Sims 4; Stardew Valley while on call with friends

[modern barn]

Sims 4 is great though

if it doesn't fry your computer that is

I kinda mostly do painting/reading to enjoy myself nowadays

[foggy linden]

Before uni I started playing Hogwarts Legacy

[modern barn]

But tbh I do want to open myself up more again to talking to people online, I kind of miss the banter of calling semi regularly

[foggy linden]

That game requires a time commitment though, so I’m waiting for school to finish to continue playing

[modern barn]

Oooo I have that but haven't gotten around to it yet

[foggy linden]

I love it so far!

[modern barn]

I wanted to finish god of war first

[foggy linden]

Where are you from btw if you don’t mind me asking?

[modern barn]

No worries :) I live in Germany now but I grew up in Ireland and originate from Poland

How about you?

[foggy linden]

That’s really cool! How long have you lived in Germany?

I’m Canadian 🇨🇦

Russian-speaking parents, it’s a complicated story

[modern barn]

Exactly 2 years as of this march 🥳

[foggy linden]

Ayyy

[modern barn]

Oh that's interesting, one of my long time best friends is also from Canada with Russian speaking parents from Ukraine

[foggy linden]

Nice!!

Yeah I know a lot of people like that, there’s a whole community of Russian speakers here

[modern barn]

Honestly I really like Germany in some ways but I really miss being able to live life completely in English sometimes 😅 I get nervous over tasks I'd be completely fine doing in English

[foggy linden]

I can imagine …

[modern barn]

Oooo that's awesome

[foggy linden]

How long did it take to adjust?

To a certain extent I mean

[foggy linden]

Do you ever go back to Ireland?

[modern barn]

Honestly I'm still kind of adjusting in some ways, but I think after a year it just kind of sunk in and exited the holiday mindset

Honestly I can't imagine going back to my tiny Irish hometown now, the world is a lot bigger than I imagined

[foggy linden]

Have you travelled to other European countries?

[modern barn]

Honestly only to Amsterdam so far, I need to up my game now

I'm going to Italy next month though

[foggy linden]

Yayy

Where in Italy

[modern barn]

Milannn

and maybe Venice, not sure yet

It's actually a birthday gift for my grandma, we'll be tagging along with her

Have you ever been abroad?

[foggy linden]

Oh yeah

My most recent trip was to Spain

I absolutely loved it

[modern barn]

Oooo that's awesome!! I think I'll definitely travel to Spain at some point

I need to find myself some travel buddies since I'm kinda scared to solo travel just yet

[foggy linden]

I’m scared of it too

I really wanted to travel to France in April to see a concert from my favourite artist, but I’m wary of being alone in a foreign city for more than a day

[modern barn]

Yeah I feel that

Which artist was it?

[foggy linden]

Nuit Incolore

[modern barn]

I'm actually going to see my favourite Polish band with my parents this summer and I'm super excited, it's called Kwiat Jabłoni and i cant wait

[rugged kindle]

literally me

[modern barn]

Ooo I'll have to look that up

[foggy linden]

He’s incredible, especially his hit song “Dépassé”

[foggy linden]

Awesome!! :000

[modern barn]

it does have a nice vibe

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4wJURWmjw6eipmy45ak8ik?si=2F9gcPrgQWCJpATonF5dQw I'm kinda trying to add more songs to my French language playlist still

[foggy linden]

Either way if I were to travel somewhere alone, it would probably be in one of the Scandinavian countries

Maybe Iceland

Im reassured by statistics 😂

No but honestly when I was in Madrid I felt very safe

[modern barn]

I think I'd be fine travelling alone if I figured out a nice safe city along with a hotel so I wouldn't have to worry about retreating to my room when I need to lol

[foggy linden]

Can’t say the same for Barcelona though ..

It wasn’t that bad though

[modern barn]

Ig every city has its shady sides

[foggy linden]

Yeah

[modern barn]

The most annoying thing in my area is all the people constantly shooting off fireworks year round, it traumatisés our doggo :/

[foggy linden]

😔

Poor doggy

[modern barn]

It's just super annoying, swear I blow a fuse when I see them being sold in a store, like get rid of that crap after new years

In Ireland it was illegal so we only had some from the people that smuggled them in

[foggy linden]

Ohh that’s interesting !

[modern barn]

So our dog kind of grew up without needing to get used to them going off at random intervals throughout the year

[foggy linden]

Mm

Even I get spooked by fireworks when they’re unexpected

Alright, I think I’m going to get going now, but it was nice talking to you!

[modern barn]

Nice talking to you too!! I have to go sleep so good night

[foggy linden]

Good night!

[serene ivy]

Articles and pronouns are the hardest thing for me in the language so far, and unfortunately Duolingo doesn't explain them very well. 😭

[idle cargo]

GUTEN ABEND!!

[opal sequoia]

What kind of struggles are you having with those?

[serene ivy]

differentiating between variations like mein/meine/meinem, diese/dieses and such

[opal sequoia]

But is it because you don't know how cases work? Or are you just still in the middle of memorising it?

[serene ivy]

A little of both, I think. I would pick it up by hearing it enough times rather than actually learning how they work. Which of course is not ideal.

[opal sequoia]

Yes, that approach is much more difficult.

And doesn't work for most people.

Do you know why it's "den Haifisch" in this above sentence?

[serene ivy]

I'm looking forward to trying different resources for learning grammar to supplement my normal lessons.

[serene ivy]

Nope, sorry

[opal sequoia]

I can explain it if you would like.

[serene ivy]

If you have the time, I certainly wouldn't mind. I can make a note in my grammar/vocab notebook

[opal sequoia]

Okay, so first of all, do you know about nominative case?

[serene ivy]

I believe I've touched upon it probably. (My apologies for not remembering the terms for specific grammatical cases, even if I learn the content I'll probably forget what the term is for that grammar category)

Also be back in a bit, something came up and I gotta go afk so my responses will be delayed

[opal sequoia]

Nominative is the case that you use for the subject of a sentence, and it's also the "dictionary form", as in, the default form when you write the noun by itself.

So like for example, for the word "Fisch", you learn it as "der Fisch" because it's masculine.

The "der" is the nominative article for masculine nouns.

And you learn the nominative articles by just memorising them with the noun when you learn a new noun.

[forest apex]

Well well well — I bet you don’t know what a cat is — it’s not a goat 🐐, it’s not a pig 🐽, it’s not a dog 🐶, and it’s not even a cow 🐮 ! No, it’s a four-legged creature with pointy ears 👂 that just loooves to meow and cuddle 🤗! Should we dive deeper into some cat 🐱 facts or go in an entirely new 🆕 direction?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat

[serene ivy]

Ah, right. So in certain situations it changes to "der"?

[golden kraken]

For the nominative case, masculine nouns will always be der

[opal sequoia]

The default/original form is "der".

Like when you learn the noun "Fisch", you learn it as "der Fisch".

[serene ivy]

omg I meant "den" I'm so sorry

[golden kraken]

When words are plural, they will be "die" for the nominative case

[opal sequoia]

Yes, so that's where the accusative case comes in.

[golden kraken]

That's for accusative case

[serene ivy]

ohhh

[opal sequoia]

I think it's a bit confusing if we're both explaining the same thing at the same time.

[golden kraken]

Regardless of grammatical gender

[opal sequoia]

Could you wait until I explain it and then add anything you want to add?

[opal sequoia]

So, for accusative case, it's pretty simple. All the articles are the same as nominative, except for masculine nouns.

And that's why der changes to den. Because it's masculine.

[jade sage]

What are nominative and accusative?

[opal sequoia]

But if it were feminine, neuter, or plural, the form would be the same between those cases.

[opal sequoia]

You can start reading from here: #general-2 message

[serene ivy]

Thank you. I'll go review accusative case in more detail.

[jade sage]

okay thanks

[opal sequoia]

Sure. The basic idea is that for most verbs, the direct object is accusative. There are some exceptions though. A small number of verbs instead go with nominative, dative, or genitive. But you just have to memorise those exceptions.

But going back to the original sentence, the verb is mögen and the object of mögen will be accusative.

[serene ivy]

ohhhh ok

is that something specific for german?

[opal sequoia]

Yes and no. Every language will use cases slightly differently. But it is common for accusative to be used for direct objects in most languages which use a similar case system.

[golden kraken]

English also has the accusative case and used to have the dative case

[opal sequoia]

No, English doesn't have accusative case. It has two cases: subjective and objective.

[golden kraken]

The accusative case is the objective case

With the same essence

[opal sequoia]

No, the objective case is considered distinct, since it combines the roles of accusative and dative.

[golden kraken]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accusative_case

[opal sequoia]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_case

The term objective case is generally preferred by modern English grammarians, where it supplanted Old English's dative and accusative.

An objective case is marked on the English personal pronouns and as such serves the role of the accusative and dative cases that other Indo-European languages employ. These forms are often called object pronouns. They serve a variety of grammatical functions which they would not in languages that differentiate the two.

Whereas nouns do not distinguish between the subjective (nominative) and objective (oblique) cases, some pronouns do; that is, they decline to reflect their relationship to a verb or preposition, or case. Consider the difference between he (subjective) and him (objective), as in "He saw it" and "It saw him"; similarly, consider who, which is subjective, and the objective whom (although it is increasingly common to use who for both).

The Old English language had a dative case; however, the English case system gradually fell into disuse during the Middle English period, when the accusative and dative of pronouns merged into a single oblique case that was also used with all prepositions. This conflation of case in Middle and Modern English has led most modern grammarians to discard the "accusative" and "dative" labels as obsolete in reference to English, often using the term "objective" for oblique.

anyone here who has taken german in IB?

I was in a German IB school for primary/middle but that's probably not the same 😂

@inner adder Hii, how long do u learn german?

[inner adder]

Ich lern Deutsch in der schule vor zwei jahr, aber ich bin nicht sehr gut

Ich kann nicht viel Deutsch 😅

[hallow reef]

Möchtest du mit mir lernen?😁

Ich kann nicht gut Deutsch sprechen

und ich möchte mein Deutsch verbessern

[inner adder]

Sorry, I'm really bad at German,
'Do you want to learn German? I can't speak german well, and I want to improve my own german' is what you said, right?

[hallow reef]

Yes

[inner adder]

Ich kann nicht Deutsch spechen und produzieren, aber ich kann lesen und übersetzen

dass ist da Niederländisch sieht es Deutsch (? I don't know if this is correct)

[hallow reef]

I'm not sure if I get what you tried to say

[inner adder]

'I can't speak German or produce it, but I can read and translate. That's because Dutch looks like German'

[hallow reef]

Okkay

I did get it hahahaa

[inner adder]

phew 😅 im really not good at producing German, especially remembering vocab and producing sentences myself

[hallow reef]

Can I send u a friend request?

[hallow reef]

Totally mee hahaha😁

[inner adder]

sure!!

[wraith olive]

Hallo there you have some mistakes here

Ich lerne*
Zwei Jahren*
Aber mein Deutsch ist nicht gut*

[wraith olive]

And schule is a feminine noun so we use "die Schule".
We use "der" with masculine Nouns. Hope this helps 😊

[wraith olive]

When we use "dass"
The verb goes in the end of the sentence so in this case the helping verb "ist" will go in the end of the sentence

For example
Ich denke dass mein Freund krank ist
(I think that my friend is sick)

[wraith olive]

And this sentence is incorrect

[cold scroll]

This is not quite correct.

zwei Jahren

„aber ich bin nicht sehr gut“ is fine.

However, the entire structure of the sentence is a bit off.

[wraith olive]

Danke fur deinen helfen.
Okay 👍

[wraith olive]

Wie geht's dir ?

[cold scroll]

Super und dir? :)

[wraith olive]

Mir geht es gut

[wraith olive]

Aber habe ich viel Problem mit mein Deutsch.

[cold scroll]

Ach das ist doch normal, das wird mit der Zeit besser

[wraith olive]

Hoffentlich passiert es

[wraith olive]

Wie viele Sprache wissen Sie?

[inner adder]

woops, i forget gender all the time

[inner adder]

this one i didnt know, thank you!

[inner adder]

i have no idea how else to say it :')

[wraith olive]

Hahaha happened to me all the time 😅

[inner adder]

i keep forgetting the -e -st -t -en -t -en rule lmao when it comes to conjugating the verbs

[wraith olive]

The same case applies to "weil"
In English "because"

[inner adder]

ooh

[wraith olive]

Which level are you on ? A2?

[inner adder]

so for weil and dass the verb goes at the end of the sentence?

[wraith olive]

Yes you're right

[inner adder]

honestly, I have no idea

are there any words that have that other than those two?

''ich kann nicht deutsch weil ich spreche es nicht häufig'' would be incorrect then right? but how would the structure be then?

[wraith olive]

Can you please tell me what do you wanna say in English

[inner adder]

''I can't speak German because I don't speak it often''

[wraith olive]

Ich kann nicht deutsch weil ich es nicht oft spreche

Here sprechen was the verb

So we put it in the end

[inner adder]

ooh gotcha

whats the difference between oft and häufig?

because they both mean the same right?

[wraith olive]

Often and frequently

[wraith olive]

In English yes
In german the meaning varies for different purposes

[inner adder]

ah thats fair enough

[wraith olive]

Yes

Since you're a beginner i would recommend to get your base strong on

_ What forms of verbs to use with (ich, du, ihr ,wir ,sie....)
_ trennbare verben
_knowing the difference between Akkusativ Nominativ and dativ
_try to remember articles (ik it's difficult but its important)
_and vocabulary of basic words that you can use in daily life

[inner adder]

i know the difference between akkusativ, nominativ and dativ because i have the 'classic languages' at school,
nominativ - the person who is doing the action (der, die, das, die)
dativ - i dont know how to explain it honestly but it has the thingys aus bei mit nach seit von zu and you can also tell by dem, der, dem, die
akkusativ - same as above, i dont know how to explain it but it has durch fur gegen ohne um and den die das die

[wraith olive]

Alright lemme explain

[merry inlet]

Your Dativ articles aren’t quite correct

[inner adder]

uh oh

[wraith olive]

Nominativ :- the person who is doing the action
Akkusativ:- the thing on which the action is done upon
Dativ:- if you're referring to something indirectly

For example
Ich fahre mit dem Bus
I travel with the bus

So the bus is the indirect object here and we're telling which thing we're traveling from here

[inner adder]

oh yup i get it

[opal sequoia]

This is not accurate.

[wraith olive]

Alright correct me

[inner adder]

i could explain dativ, akkusativ, nominativ and genitiv in dutch (my mother tongue) but im not good at explaining grammar things in english

[opal sequoia]

What you're describing is direct and indirect objects in English. German accusative and dative are different.

[opal sequoia]

faq akk dat

[rocky goblet]

accusative vs dative

Both accusative case and dative case are used for objects in a sentence. This FAQ explains when to use each case. It’s recommended to learn and practice each of the following subtopics separately.

Verbs with 1 Object

For the majority of verbs, they have one object and the object is accusative. However, sometimes the object is dative. For example, "helfen": “Ich helfe dir.” You can find a list of these dative verbs here. Rarely, verbs also have genitive objects, but this is so uncommon that you don’t need to actively learn them.

Verbs with 2 Objects

For verbs with 2 objects, the following rule typically applies: the direct object is accusative and the indirect object is dative. For example: Ich gebe dem Mann das Buch. A very small number of verbs have 2 accusative objects. The only common example of that is “lehren”.

Prepositions with 1 Case

For most prepositions, you can just memorise which case the prepositions uses. For example, “mit” always has a dative object while “ohne” always has an accusative object.

Two-Way Prepositions

Some prepositions can have either an accusative or dative object, depending on the exact meaning. The basic explanation is that dative objects are for describing the location of something, while accusative is used to describe a change of location. Specifically, in the accusative version, the person/object starts in one place and ends in a different place.

Dative (location): Ich bin im Haus. (I am in the house.)
Accusative (change of location): Ich gehe in das Haus. (I walk into the house.)

Please note that the accusative version does not mean “movement”. Movement that happens all in one location will still be dative.

Dative (location): Ich gehe im Park. (I am walking inside the park.)
Accusative (change of location): Ich gehe in den Park. (I go to the park./I walk into the park.)

[opal sequoia]

These are the uses of accusative and dative in German.

[inner adder]

oh thats really helpful

[opal sequoia]

Actually there is a bit more than this but these are the main points people get stuck on.

[inner adder]

how do wechselprapositionen work?

[opal sequoia]

It's described at the bottom of the text there.

[inner adder]

oh gotcha

what about the 7/2 rule? i had it explained at school but i forgot

[wraith olive]

Yeah i get thay

That*

[wraith olive]

Never heard of it

[inner adder]

an, auf, hinter, in, neben, vor, zwischen, uber, unter
2 of these were akkusativ and 7 of these were dativ i think

something like that

[inner adder]

ill prob google it

[wraith olive]

Ohh you're talking about them

Yes

Lemme confirm

[opal sequoia]

Those are all two-way prepositions, not accusative or dative prepositions.

[inner adder]

i know,
akkusativ: durch, fur, gegen, ohne um
dativ: aus, bei, mit, nach, seit, von, zu
two-way/wechsel: an, auf, hinter, in, neben, vor, zwischen, uber, unter
^ 2 of those were akkusativ and 7 of those were dativ but i cant remember which ones and when you use that rule thing

[wraith olive]

Found em

[high fulcrum]

es gibt zumindest 3 weitere für Dativ:
außer, seit, gegenüber

[wraith olive]

Wohin + Akkusativ
Wo + Dativ

Was that the rule ? @inner adder

[inner adder]

yuppp but some cases could be like both

[inner adder]

I'm sorry, I have no idea what you said T-T

[high fulcrum]

aus, bei, mit , nach, von . zu, außer, seit, gegenüber 🙂

[wraith olive]

Yes i have found a table

[wraith olive]

Bro you're talking about dativ Präposition
She's talking about Wechsel Präposition

[inner adder]

i havent heard of auß and gegenüber before though

[wraith olive]

Probably in the advanced levels idrk

[high fulcrum]

i am talking about that dativ prepositions do have two more

bro

Ö=

[inner adder]

probably, i learnt aus bei mit nach seit von zu and i will never get them out of my head

[opal sequoia]

I've never heard of any rule like that (the 2 and 7 thing) and I can't really imagine how it fits in?

Two-way prepositions all work the same.

[inner adder]

it was something like there were situations where you could use both

or like it could be akkusativ and dativ

and then you use the 7/2 rule

[opal sequoia]

Yes, that's what two-way prepositions means. They can be accusative or dative.

[high fulcrum]

all of them can be used in both ways

[opal sequoia]

There is no 7/2 rule that I know of.

[inner adder]

i know but something like with context?? i dont really remember

[opal sequoia]

The rule is, you use dative for a location, and accusative for a change of location.

[wraith olive]

Yes

Right

[opal sequoia]

The book is on the table. -> location (dative)
I put the book on(to) the table. -> change of location (accusative)

[inner adder]

wait i just googled it, its for situations where you dont get an answer from wo or wohin

[opal sequoia]

Are you talking about something like abstract uses of prepositions, where you have to memorise the case that goes with the specific verb/noun?

[inner adder]

i dont know, im kind of just digging in my memories from my german lessons

i have to know it for my next test (wechsel thingys)

[opal sequoia]

Like for example... to wait for sb = auf jdn warten

[wraith olive]

Nah bro i think that's different

She meant something else

[opal sequoia]

So you've heard of the 7/2 rule?

[wraith olive]

Nope

[opal sequoia]

Then how do you know it's something different?

[inner adder]

oh its like 'im waiting on the bus' where it could be literal (you're literally standing on the bus while waiting) or figurative (you're waiting for the bus to arrive) according to google

apparently

[opal sequoia]

Yes, that's true.

But the figurative one is where two-way prepositions get tricky, because you have to memorise those.

[wraith olive]

It's just a lot of confusion here

[opal sequoia]

Like there is no rule to tell you "auf jdn warten" needs accusative. You just have to learn it.

[inner adder]

damn im cookd

[wraith olive]

Especially the ones which are specific with the Verbs

[inner adder]

cooked*

[high fulcrum]

where are you from?

[wraith olive]

For Example
Ich warte auf dem Bus

[opal sequoia]

They all are though. It's always a preposition + verb/noun/whatever pair that you're learning.

[inner adder]

netherlands!

[inner adder]

yeah that could be literal or figurative, but its usually meant figurative so its also just context?

[opal sequoia]

If it's a beginner level test, you won't be expected to know many (if any at all) of those. You're probably just getting tested on the location / change of location rule.

[inner adder]

no im getting tested on the figurative ones as well because we got taught the 7-2 rule even though it doesnt exist?? idk

[opal sequoia]

I think I found what you're referring to.

[high fulcrum]

nice 🙂
i am from slovakia 😛
and in slovakia we do have 6 cases (including dativ and accusativ) , so for me, it is much easier

[inner adder]

oh yeah thats it i think

[wraith olive]

🫡

[wraith olive]

That's what is special about German
It gets so confusing

[high fulcrum]

7 / 2 😮

butt, what is idiomatic use? 😢

[inner adder]

i was first taught latin and greek at school, which has accusative, genitive, dative and nominativ (also ablative for latin) so that was easy for me once i learnt german

[inner adder]

'im waiting on the bus' (ich warte auf dem bus) could be literal or not literal

[high fulcrum]

wow, this is just purrfect 🙂

[inner adder]

literally it could be that you are waiting on top of the bus

but its usually not meant that way

[wraith olive]

But auf is used with verb warten

Specifically

Isn't it

[inner adder]

i dont know, i suck at german, take everything i say with a grain of salt atp

im A2 level i thinkk? im supposed to be

[wraith olive]

A2 yes

But your basics are weak

[opal sequoia]

Ich warte auf dem Bus. = I am waiting on top of the bus.
Ich warte auf den Bus. = I am waiting for the bus.

[wraith olive]

Alright

Gotcha

[inner adder]

i feel like my basics are decent but i cant produce it myself yk? like translating, knowing the rules, listening (when they speak slower) is fine, but talking and making up sentences myself?

[opal sequoia]

@inner adder Just to be clear btw, the 7/2 thing isn't always true. It just means that those are the cases the preposition is more likely to go with if it's used idiomatically.

[inner adder]

ooh okay gotcha

[wraith olive]

It will get better from time to time and you just need practice

[high fulcrum]

ich stehe auf dem Bus und warte auf einen anderen Bus ? 😮

[wraith olive]

Since how much time are you learning German? @inner adder

[inner adder]

this will be my second year (after the schoolyear ends in july)

i think

i started last schoolyear

[wraith olive]

Ohhh okay so they teach you in school

Gotcha

I did A2 in 5 months

A1+A2

[inner adder]

they dont teach you skills, they teach you grammar and vocab but i cant produce the vocab myself which is why i struggle w sentences

[inner adder]

thats pretty quick, but then again, i have to manage 6 languages so its pretty reasonable they're not doing A2 in 5 months lmao

[wraith olive]

6 languages.....
That's obviously tricky then

Lmao

[inner adder]

french, dutch (mother tongue), english (required second language), latin, greek and german

its a lot :')

[wraith olive]

Using them more and more in your sentences will make you produce them and have a firm command on them

[inner adder]

truee

i feel like listening to german videos also helps it stick more

[wraith olive]

Exactly true

For now my lesen is at its worst

I just received my result's today and it was 80% from Goethe Institut

[inner adder]

my lesen is at its' best for me haha, im not good at listening because germans speak quickly, thats why i like easygerman

[wraith olive]

Easy german same

[inner adder]

thats still so high i could never do that

[wraith olive]

Nah it's easily doable

[inner adder]

lesen is easy because of how similar dutch is to german, so you can usually figure out the words even if you have never seen them before

[wraith olive]

Even if they speak slow
If your vocabulary is not good you'll make mistakes

[wraith olive]

Yeah you have an advantage here

[inner adder]

definently, but im not sure how to improve my production of vocab, because i can recognize it in texts but for some reason my brain just has error when i need to make it up myself

[wraith olive]

The only way to improve it is to use it

[wraith olive]

And dw it happened to me too

I got full marks in schreiben and 3 marks less than full marks in sprechen

[formal musk]

it happened with me too i only feel good when i try so much

[inner adder]

'ich kann nicht sehr gut deutsch' 'ich wil nicht mehr' 'wälzt sie es in semmelbroseln, mehl und eiern', 'unserer präsentation handelt von das wienerschnitzel' 'mein geburtstag ist neun juni' 'ich bin anna und ich bin vierzehn jahr alt' two of these are from a german presentation i have tmr so i memorized them but i can only produce very simple sentences

[formal musk]

i practice using writing it really helps me

[inner adder]

that makes sense, the only way to improve is practice

[wraith olive]

Even if you make simple sentence try to use weil and dass

Hopefully they push your marks

[formal musk]

but don’t forget to put the verb in the end of the sentence

[wraith olive]

Yes that's what i told her

In the beginning

[inner adder]

yup

[inner adder]

im still confused on pronunciation of ß and s and a/ä or just the umlaut in general tbh even tho thats the very basics

[formal musk]

this might help i don’t know

[inner adder]

ive had most of this grammar at school

[formal musk]

do you speak french?

[wraith olive]

a - aaahh
ä - aaeee

[inner adder]

un peu

[inner adder]

what about o and ö and u and ü?

[formal musk]

can you pronounce the u in french?

[inner adder]

uhh

i dont know

speaking is really undertaught here at school

[formal musk]

the u in french is the same as ü in german

[wraith olive]

O - ooo
u - oou

ü - uuu

[formal musk]

listen to spelling german videos on yt

[inner adder]

actually thats a really good idea

[wraith olive]

Since you're on A2 level so no need to worry
It's gonna be easy

[inner adder]

also maybe a weird question but do you know if its das or der wienerschnitzel? i have to do a presentation on it tmr lol

[formal musk]

always follow the second word which is schnitzel

so it’s das

[wraith olive]

Das

[inner adder]

okay phew we got it correct

[formal musk]

what’s your native

[wraith olive]

Use an app called dict.cc
It has all the articles

[inner adder]

my native language? dutch

[inner adder]

downloading it rn lol

[wraith olive]

Mhm

[formal musk]

es muss für dich einfach sein

@wraith olive am i supposed to use “für” oder nein?

[inner adder]

wellll yeah and no, the reading is easy, but it can get confusing because some words are totally different

in fact, 'dan' (es ist so groß dan) has the opposite meaning in dutch

[wraith olive]

I think yes we can use für

[formal musk]

ja ich verstehe jetzt

[inner adder]

so 'bigger than' is 'groter dan' in dutch, and in german 'großer als'

[inner adder]

what does verstehe mean?

[wraith olive]

Understand

[formal musk]

verb verstehen means to understand

[wraith olive]

To understand

[inner adder]

oh that makes sese

sense*

[formal musk]

du bist A2?

[wraith olive]

Where are you from bro ?

[inner adder]

ich wiss es nicht, wahrscheinlich

[formal musk]

[wraith olive]

Nice

[formal musk]

[wraith olive]

[inner adder]

i dont think i conjuagted wiss correctly

[wraith olive]

USA

[inner adder]

i hate irregular verbs </3

[formal musk]

nice to meet you

[wraith olive]

Weiß

[wraith olive]

Nice to meet you too

[inner adder]

ich weiß es nicht sounds better

thank youu

i hate irregular verbs with a passion

[wraith olive]

That is correct lol

[formal musk]

ich stimme dir zu

aber es ist leicht zu merken

[inner adder]

is 'vergessen' also irregular? ich vergesse doesnt sound right

[formal musk]

try to relate the words to something or someone

[formal musk]

no it’s regular

[wraith olive]

Wait lemme check

[inner adder]

can you translate?

[formal musk]

it’s easy to memorise

merken: to memorise

[inner adder]

oh wow thats totally different

[wraith olive]

Right

[inner adder]

merken means 'to notice' in dutch

so it is ich vergesse?

[wraith olive]

Yes

[formal musk]

it has the same meaning also in german

it means to notice or to memorise and sometimes to remember or realize

[inner adder]

not again :') i also had that with lustig, i was taught that lustig means 'cheerful' but apparently it means a lot because ive heard it in contexts where 'cheerful' wouldnt fit

[wraith olive]

You know dutch?

[inner adder]

no but dutch is basically drunk german

if you speak german you can understand dutch and vice versa

[wraith olive]

It means Funny*

[formal musk]

not really i know some words only

[wraith olive]

Oh okay

[inner adder]

woah what my book says 'vrolijk' which means 'cheerful'

[wraith olive]

Wouldn't it be wrong?

[inner adder]

wdym?

[formal musk]

heiter is cheerful

lustig is funny

[wraith olive]

I meant that a person who understands Deutsch
If he tries to understand dutch wouldn't he get the wrong meaning?

[inner adder]

hmm

in conversations, probably not

in some cases the german will be confused

but usually its pretty similar

[formal musk]

real

[inner adder]

like brot and brood

[wraith olive]

Ohh alright 👍 gotcha

[wraith olive]

They sound really similar while pronouncing

[inner adder]

yepp, but the stress in german is on the T with a shorter O, in dutch it has the stress on the O (it sounds slightly longer) and a softer t/d sound

[wraith olive]

It must be a challenge to remember both of them lmao

Now i get your point

[formal musk]

yeah real

[inner adder]

its actually not that bad ^^ its easy for dutch kids to mock german because german just sounds shorter so most dutch kids can say simple sentences in german

because of how repetitive german sounds

if you know what i mean

[formal musk]

it’s just about the meaning of words?

[wraith olive]

I'm still trying to understand haha

But that's okay

[inner adder]

okay so 'ik ben anna' and 'ich bin anna' are super similar but easy to like figure out

but for less basic words its a pain

[wraith olive]

😭

[formal musk]

ist das leben in den Niederlanden besser als in Deutschland?

[wraith olive]

Now got it

[inner adder]

NEIN.

ES IST TEUER

leben in den Niederlanden ist teuer

[formal musk]

deutschland ist teuer…

[wraith olive]

Nein

[inner adder]

definently not

[formal musk]

really?

[inner adder]

shampoo in germany would run you like 3 euros while the same brand would run for 6 in the netherlands

[wraith olive]

Doubled the price....... That's some serious pain

[formal musk]

und die Mieten?

[inner adder]

yeah dude its outrageous 😭

[wraith olive]

Depends

[inner adder]

what's mieten?

[wraith olive]

Rent

[inner adder]

the rent isnt bad, but the housing crisis is HORRIBLE

[wraith olive]

Varies from city to city

[wraith olive]

Especially in bigger cities

[inner adder]

I prefer not to interact too much who are above 18 years old because I'm a minor ^^
Also, with what do you want to help me?

[low drum]

In order to reply in German you should use German words, grammar and sentence structure.
I hope this helps you.

Nein, ich wei(Insert the big B thing that's pronounced as an S here, i forgot how to do that on keyboard and forgot the name) Deutsch, ich kann nicht sehr gut Deutsch

i know the grammar of A2 (nominativ, dativ, akkusativ, wechselpräpositionen, possessive pronouns, pronouns in general, conjugating certain verbs and i learned the modalverben but i think i forgot them)

@golden kraken Ich bin nie dort geblieben Doch wollte die gleichmäßig aufgeteilte Liebe Wo man die Intensität nicht erhebt durch's eigene Dedizieren Eliminiere diese Triebe Hab' es gedanklich schon so lange skizziert Maximal kannst du dich auf 'ne Romanze fixier'n Aber jeder gestufte Freund ist doch zeitgleich bedrückt Durch die Gefahr, der Ersetzung von ei'm Einzelstück Ob ich es einhalte?

[obsidian shoal]

i thought it was gen1

[crisp terrace]

Yeah I gathered lol

[obsidian shoal]

i needa read

[dawn wagon]

Hallo

[floral beacon]

I feel like the ability to pass certain German certification level exams doesn't correspond to being on that level

That's a mouthful

[crisp terrace]

Agreed

It’s too easy to infer what’s being said

Thank you for your insight, Dr. House

[left jolt]

Its like if you were tested on identifying animals by their picture and got 20/20 correct then believed yourself to be "an animal expert" that can identify any animal on earth forgetting that there are thousands more you were not tested on. You are tested on what you know for a very small section of overall language

[lilac lake]

Honestly there’s not really a tested manner in which someone can prove they’re proficient in a certain language

The leveled tests people take help one have an idea of what concepts to learn and what topic of vocabulary one should have in mind (like CEFR) and a leveled test like C2 would be a decent indicator of the level somebody’s in, but it’s not completely perfect

Ok, this makes me sound pseudo intellectual, Imma stop here

[left jolt]

I kinda agree but I also believe that there is a very obvious distinction between, if we put it more simply than it actually is, fluent and not fluent and I believe that you can find that out within a few minutes

[lilac lake]

Yeah I agree

Also, is it known if your uprising changes the way you speak your language?

Like I live in southern USA in Florida where there are a lot of Spanish speakers, and my mom has a pure Spanish accent, and apparently I’ve developed a slight Spanish accent

[left jolt]

Can be

[lilac lake]

Also I’m B2 in Spanish, which is prolly a bigger effect

[lilac lake]

How’s getting C1 in 5 languages

3 Romance, 1 Germanic, 1 Slavic

[left jolt]

Das sind meine Ziele nicht was ich bisher erreicht habe

[lilac lake]

Ich weiß, deshalb habe ich gesagt „How is getting“

That’s probably not grammatically correct but anyways

I meant to say like „how are you coming upon that goal“ like is it going well?

[golden kraken]

Du schaffst es King

[hollow goblet]

[river nova]

Wie geht’s?
