Oh and then there're the measure words

#

Or whatever you call them in Japanese. In Chinese they were measure words

simple vortex
#

The way to look at German clauses is there's four slots. The verb always goes in the second in a main clause.

#

counters?

ivory turret
#

Like

#

Ippiki

simple vortex
#

ye

#

counters

ivory turret
#

They're the worst

#

Because they change form and stuff

#

And how 4 changes constantly depending on what your counting like telling time, counting minutes/hours/seconds

simple vortex
#

They have patterns

#

only ones starting in h, k, s, p, t change

#

and each has it's own pattern

ivory turret
#

Interesting

simple vortex
#

with few exceptions that don't matter

ivory turret
#

Maybe I'll get back into it

#

I used to follow George's JFZ videos on YouTube

#

The ones going alongside the textbook(s)

simple vortex
#

They all change on 1, 6, 8, 10;

#

(except h, s, t)

#

S, t change on 1, 8, 10 (everything but 6)

#

H has it own rules and changes on 1, 6, 8, 10 to the p sound and 3 to the b sound
(with a few exceptions here that are all on the number 3)

who decided? WHo said it first

lol

sturdy shadow
#

Düsseldorf Köln and krefeld are right next to each other

#

We had a match against Berlin (a club we like)

#

Their ultras took flags and shit and sneaked into our block

#

And then they started singing "scheiße düsseldorf" with us

pallid kelp

hahaha

Because krefeld, dead last at the time, secured berlin a playoff spot by defeating düsseldorf two days prior

i mean i didnt but im sure

idk what to tell you to do for anything else ahahaha, other than just dive into some chinese material

im sorry i reallyd ont have aything else bc ive been taking this class

#

i wanted to learn korean 👀

but i have no time

i think koraen and japanese are more similar

there are many sino-korean words i think

so that should make remembering some chinese words not... so hard

what is this mess

why is it not introduced at all LOL

what i thought

you meant by tones

so tones are all based off different levels of respect ?

uhhh

you knwo some japanese right?

yeah

#

oh

so like

when you talk about yourself, in certain contexts, you have to use one verb

#

if you talka bout somebody ese, you use a different verb

#

or a different verb conjugation

#

depends on the verb lol

does that exist in korean?

i like japanese and chinese

@pallid kelp I didn't want to clutter up #questions with memes. ^^
What does that meme have to do with spelling personal as personnel(l)? 🤔

#

That's the only thing confusing me. 😛

pallid kelp
#

The expression “nothing personal, kid” is derived from an illustration of Coldsteel the Hedgeheg, with its earliest known appearance dating back to May 29th, 2013 on Twitter (shown below).

#

from the page I linked

#

you can see the wrong spelling in the pic

Huh, it does say *personnel.

#

TIL. 😄

Never knew the meme had incorrect spelling. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Lately I've been writing in german as a "rant" for the grammar

#

It has two characters and one says it in English grammar and the other corrects him

It's not organized like a story but just as little short dialog pieces

if you're looking for a novel I bought a German version of The Goldfinch (Der Distel Fink) and I'm kinda just slugging through it whenever I have time 😪

I can only approve Lustiges Taschenbuch, the translations are often superb. Sometimes the stories are a bit stale and outdated though, stuck in time a bit too much even though that's more a problem of the DDSH

hot cloak
#

right @opal sequoia @fair iron you guys know how to find the lowest common multiple by prime factorisation?

fair iron
opal sequoia
#

Sure.

hot cloak
#

cuz my teacher gave us homework on one thing she never fully explained

#

right here's the problem

#

then this

#

wtf do you do when there is no highest power, as with 154?

hot cloak
#

any ideas?

fair iron
#

So you have to write each number as a product of primes?

#

(For part of it, not the entire task.)

opal sequoia
#

Oh, I see.

#

So the way you do it is...

#

You find the numbers that are common to all first: in this case, 2 and 11.

#

And then you multiply 2^a + 11^b where a and b are the highest powers of 2 and 11 respectively, out of all the numbers.

#

So in this case a is 4 and b is 1.

#

Makes sense?

#

Oh, actually, I guess you use all the numbers, not just the common ones.

#

So 2^a + 3^b + 7^c + 11^d

#

But same thing. Whatever single power is the highest out of the whole group.

hot cloak
#

I get the 2^2 x 2^4 I think

opal sequoia
#

What do you mean?

sudden panther
#

wtf do you do when there is no highest power, as with 154?
There's always a highest power silly. mmlol

lavish saddle
#

x -> *

thick charm
#

Be the highest power

#

make math illegal

hot cloak
#

so it says to solve one way I could take the highest power of each prime number and multiply them

opal sequoia
#

Yes.

#

I just explained what that means.

#

You take every number that occurs.

#

LCM = 2^a + 3^b + 7^c + 11^d

hot cloak
#

oh

#

I see

opal sequoia
#

And the a, b, c, d are the highest powers for each of those numbers.

#

e.g. for 2, it's 4, because you wrote 2^4.

opal sequoia
#

Why do you do ===?

pallid kelp
#

it means x has the exact value and type of y, as opposed to just the value, iirc

#

with ==, "2" would equal 2, again, iirc

opal sequoia
#

😮

#

What do you mean?

pallid kelp
#

it has the same value but not the same type ("2" is string, 2 is integer)

#

if you care about the type you want ===

opal sequoia
#

Oh. thinking_cat

#

I see. That's interesting.

pallid kelp
#

I wish someone would pass by and confirm if what I'm saying is right because I can't remember for sure. Never really used js

pine ginkgo
#

it's alright

pallid kelp
#

noice

pine ginkgo
#

2 == "2" would result in true

#

2 === "2" would result in false

opal sequoia
#

Is it relevant to this problem?

pallid kelp
#

what about 0 == false and 0 === false?

pine ginkgo
#

first should be true

#

🤔

#

though i don't know too much about javascript

opal sequoia
#

Is this just a js thing? thinking_cat

pine ginkgo
#

php too

#

ehehe

opal sequoia
#

Oh yeah.

pallid kelp
#

going by logic, the second one should be false since 0 is an int and not a bool 🤔

#

if not, then it's stupid

opal sequoia
#

Is bool a type in js?

pallid kelp
#

probably? Not sure

pine ginkgo
#

yes

pallid kelp
#

don't know of a language that doesn't have bool

opal sequoia
#

C.

pine ginkgo
#

you sure?

#

wiki says c has boolean since 99

opal sequoia
#

Oh I see.

sudden panther
#

There's no logic in Javascript's ==. Let me find a table.

opal sequoia
#

But you have to import boolean to C, right? Is that the same for other languages?

#

That looks kinda fancy, Arrem.

pine ginkgo
#

do you?

#

i have no clue how versions in c work

#

it's in the c99 version onwards

opal sequoia
#

Yeah apparently you need #include <stdbool.h>

#

But of course I also don't know how this stuff works. 😄

#

I just know that the lecturer said there's no bool so we have to define ints.

#

But that might just be so we know how it works.

#

Ew, yes that's true.

Is it bad to do that?

Okay, Flappy, let's ignore these pedantic guys and start practicing.

ocean robin
#

#

pine ginkgo
#

Ich aß mit Schneepfote, und muss sagen

ocean robin
#

yes

pine ginkgo
#

da auch nicht unbedingt

#

🤔

ocean robin
#

what is wrong there

thick charm
#

Da war ich mir nicht wirklich sicher, aber man kann es denke ich benutzen

pine ginkgo
#

na ja

thick charm
#

Da du sowieso von einer Zeit in die andere wechselst

ocean robin
#

or are you just getting perfectionist

thick charm
#

He is

ocean robin
#

i knew it

sudden panther
#

Etzt fickt Chuck dich richtig. Er hat niemandem was getan und du beleidigst ihn. :((((((((

ocean robin
#

but guys I came here for practicing LUL

pine ginkgo
#

while there are options where you can place a komma after und

#

generally... you shouldn't though

ocean robin
#

🤔

#

I did that?

#

Oh yeah

pine ginkgo
#

multiple times

opal sequoia
#

How about you try to write this sentence in simple past first Flappy: he picked up the ball and threw it.

ocean robin
#

used too much by frenchies

thick charm
#

So can I finally go now or is there anything else you want to pick apart

ocean robin
#

Mmmh.

opal sequoia
#

And I will try to write a sentence in simple past too.

ocean robin
#

how fo you say "throw"?

opal sequoia
ocean robin
#

OH

opal sequoia
#

If you don't like that practice it's okay though of course. 😄

ocean robin
#

nuh it's okay hehe

pine ginkgo
#

just go chuck

#

live with your schande

#

and come back later

ocean robin
#

oh a seprated verb noice

pine ginkgo
#

huh?

ocean robin
#

How can I do that then 🤔

pine ginkgo
#

wait

#

what verb did you choose

ocean robin
#

I see auswählen

pine ginkgo
#

wat

ocean robin
#

🤔

pine ginkgo
#

how did you search

ocean robin
#

i see that

sudden panther
#

I still don't get how someone can be at the beach and meme here with us. 😛

opal sequoia
#

German is important, Arrem!

pine ginkgo
#

how did you get to auswählen with throw

#

🤔

ocean robin
#

to pick Solet

pine ginkgo
#

how did you get to pick suddenly

#

🤔

ocean robin
#

but

#

this is a misunderstanding lol

#

@sudden panther I am at home not on the beach lol. It's raining.

#

Okay so let's go for the 1st sentence, just need to search something.

#

Wait Base, I should use which tense?

opal sequoia
#

In English, "tp pick" and "to pick up" are different verbs.

#

Oh, simple past.

ocean robin
#

Oh, okay.

opal sequoia
#

That's the one like "Ich aß" and "Ich spielte"

ocean robin
#

yeeeah

hot cloak
#

Ich bin heir

opal sequoia
#

Feel free to give me a sentence if you want btw, or I can just get one from this book I have. 😄

#

Hi Jeb.

hot cloak
#

Hallo

pine ginkgo
#

hier

hot cloak
#

"How many licks do it take to get to center of a tootsie pop"?

ocean robin
#

🤔

hot cloak
#

Translate that one

ocean robin
#

@hot cloak too complicated sorry lol

hot cloak
#

Base could prob do it

ocean robin
#

But still

#

Which one should I use? 🤔

opal sequoia
#

Maybe try the verb aufheben.

ocean robin
#

Okay.

opal sequoia
#

And when you want to search a verb phrase like that the best way is to specify it more.

#

Like "to pick sth up"

ocean robin
#

"Er hob der Ball auf und wirft es"?

#

🤔

#

Not sure with that at all

pine ginkgo
#

es?

#

why es?

ocean robin
#

i dunno

pine ginkgo
#

tell me

#

why did you choose es

ocean robin
#

"it"

pine ginkgo
#

what does it refer to

ocean robin
#

To the ball?

pine ginkgo
#

yes

#

so why es

ocean robin
#

🤔

pine ginkgo
#

if you refer to the ball

#

why did you use es?

ocean robin
#

Because the ball isn't male?

pine ginkgo
#

are you sure?

ocean robin
#

I seriously don't know wat

pine ginkgo
#

why did you write der ball then?

ocean robin
#

Wait.

#

Is it really er?

pine ginkgo
#

well, you wrote it

#

do you think it is das ball or der ball

ocean robin
#

It's der ball

#

I know that

pine ginkgo
#

okay

#

why is it es then

ocean robin
#

but

#

Are things like balls and animals neutral?

pine ginkgo
#

so again

#

is it der ball

#

or das ball

ocean robin
#

oh god lol

#

okay so it's er

#

Because der Ball

pine ginkgo
#

close

ocean robin
#

AH

pine ginkgo
#

you only have one subject

#

in this sentence

ocean robin
#

yes

pine ginkgo
#

so do it again, just correctly this time

#

:)

ocean robin
#

🤔

opal sequoia
#

Das Einhorn schnaubte und mit dem Kopf nickte und sein Horn spannte einen kurzen tatkräftigen Bogen.

ocean robin
#

Whoa.

pine ginkgo
#

flappsy

#

don't get distracted

ocean robin
#

oh

pine ginkgo
#

write your sentence again, correctly

ocean robin
#

o-oki

hot cloak
#

Anyone here tried Danish?

ocean robin
#

no and we don't care becauer we study German, sorry

hot cloak
#

Oh ok

opal sequoia
#

Ja, schreib es wieder, Flappy!

ocean robin
#

Now I am confused if I should us der or er LUL

#

*use

#

but still think it's er also

opal sequoia
#

Well, if you refer to an object with er/sie/es you use the gender that matches.

#

But otherwise you do it like normal, like whether you choose der or er is the same as if you were talking about der Mann.

ocean robin
#

AH

#

So is it er? 🤔

pine ginkgo
#

so

#

don't forget in your sentence

#

you only want to have on subject

ocean robin
#

"Er hob der Ball auf und wirft er"? 🤔

#

Damn Solet I love learning with you lol

pine ginkgo
#

well

#

can you decline "Er" for me

ocean robin
#

holy shit

#

how

pine ginkgo
#

what is "Er" in the nominative case

ocean robin
#

which one :thonk:

pine ginkgo
#

... which one?

ocean robin
#

the ball or the person who is throwing it?

pine ginkgo
#

well

#

er is already the nomitive case

ocean robin
#

So the ball?

pine ginkgo
#

i must admit

#

i am not sure i understand your question

ocean robin
#

oh

pine ginkgo
#

but let's try another way!

#

Er is in the nominative case

#

and you have two "Er" in your sentence

#

... but only one "Er" is performing the action

#

that is quite the situation

ocean robin
#

Yes, I can see that

pine ginkgo
#

so one of them is wrong

#

can you spot which?

ocean robin
#

the ball, isn't it accusative?

pine ginkgo
#

ydes

#

so why did you write er?

ocean robin
#

mh wait then, I'll see how to decline it

opal sequoia
#

Think about it like this, Flappy; "Er sieht mich. Ich sehe ... "

ocean robin
#

OH

#

I was about to say ihn

#

But not sure 🤔

#

god it was that

opal sequoia
#

That's correct. 😄

ocean robin
#

Yay!

#

So "Er hob der Ball auf und wirft ihn"

opal sequoia
#

What about the "der Ball" though? That's also accusative, right?

ocean robin
#

AH

#

wait errm then

#

Den? 🤔

#

Or dem? 🤔

opal sequoia
#

What do you think? 😛

ocean robin
#

I am sure one of those is dative.

opal sequoia
#

Yes.

#

Here's a hint: the akk of "er" is "ihn".

ocean robin
#

Dem, der, den.

#

Den then 😛

opal sequoia
#

What's the dative of "er"?

ocean robin
#

Isn't it ihn too?

#

🤔

opal sequoia
#

It's ihm.

ocean robin
#

AH.

#

Oh, it helps a lot then

#

Ihn, den; ihm, dem

opal sequoia
#

Er, der. Es, das. Sie, die.

ocean robin
#

Yep.

opal sequoia
#

And so on.

#

Awesome. Just one more thing though.

#

What tense is wirft?

ocean robin
#

heh I just saw that I picked the wrong colomn

#

"Er hob den Ball auf und warf ihn"

#

oh wait

#

there

#

fixed

opal sequoia
#

Yes!

#

Perfect.

ocean robin
#

yay

opal sequoia
#

Want to try another?

ocean robin
#

Yep!

opal sequoia
#

"The three cats chased a little grey mouse."

ocean robin
#

Oh.

#

"Die drei Katzen jagten eine kleine graue Maus."

#

i think

pine ginkgo
#

nope

#

okay

ocean robin
#

brah

pine ginkgo
#

what is the case

#

of the "a little grey mouse"

ocean robin
#

Isn't it accusative?

pine ginkgo
#

yes

ocean robin
#

then

pine ginkgo
#

what is the gender of maus

ocean robin
#

Das?

pine ginkgo
#

try again

ocean robin
#

woopsie

#

I really thought it was das, then all my sentence is wrong :/

#

God it was die

pine ginkgo
#

you can always try again :)

ocean robin
#

fixed hehe

#

"Die drei Katzen jagten eine kleine graue Maus."

opal sequoia
#

Awesome. 😮

#

Here's a trickier one: "She wrote a story that was 4 pages long."

ocean robin
#

Oh subordinate yay

pine ginkgo
#

(note, write 4 as a word, not as a number)

ocean robin
#

Oki

#

wait

opal sequoia
#

Oh yeah. 😄

ocean robin
#

Is this sentence referring to me LOL

opal sequoia
#

😏

#

You're welcome to write it as "I wrote ..."

ocean robin
#

Oh.

#

Oki.

#

"Ich schreib eine Geschichte, dass vier Blätter (saw this for pages) war.

pine ginkgo
#

mhh

#

look at base's sentence again

#

then look at yours

ocean robin
#

🤔

pine ginkgo
#

there's something odd

#

🤔

ocean robin
#

oh shoot

#

I forgot "long"

#

"4 pages long"

#

🤔

#

i have no idea how to do that

opal sequoia
#

Sie stand auf und öffnete das Fenster und schwelgte in der Nachtluft, dem Mondlicht, und dem Nebel, der vom See rollte.

ocean robin
#

Is the "4 hour long" correct but we remplace hour with pages?

pine ginkgo
#

it is correct

#

and you could

#

but don't do it

ocean robin
#

oh shoot whai

#

Wait there ia another way?

pine ginkgo
#

well

#

how about

#

jus translating "long"

ocean robin
#

well

#

It's lang

#

nooo I just need to put that like

#

"Ich schreib eine Geschichte, dass vier Blätter lang war."?

pine ginkgo
#

close

#

inspect the tenses again

ocean robin
#

mmmh

#

don't tell me I did a mistake on the tenses wot

pine ginkgo
#

well

#

what tense is base's sentence

#

what tense is yours

ocean robin
#

well

#

base's is past

#

And mine is Präteritum right?

#

Don't tell me you need to use Perfekt here?

opal sequoia
#

You can use either perfekt or simple, depending what you're going for. But this is practicing the simple, so you're aiming for the right thing.

#

You just got one of the verbs wrong.

ocean robin
#

Oh.

#

I am sure it's war.

#

whai.

opal sequoia
#

Yep.

ocean robin
#

wait

#

"Er/sie/es war"

#

🤔

pine ginkgo
#

are you sure

#

your whole sentence

#

is in präteritum?

ocean robin
#

OH

#

THE STORY IS 4 PAGES LONG

#

NOT WAS

#

so

pine ginkgo
#

🤔

opal sequoia
#

Well, I was about to ask actually, can you use "ist" for this?

pine ginkgo
#

eh, colloquially, yeah

ocean robin
#

it's not that, damn

pine ginkgo
#

but it sounds odd

#

if you use it

#

okay flappsy

ocean robin
#

🤔

pine ginkgo
#

look at your first verb

opal sequoia
#

Thanks, makes sense.

ocean robin
#

yes

pine ginkgo
#

tell me the tense of your first verb

ocean robin
#

Präteritum nuh?

pine ginkgo
#

are you sure?

ocean robin
#

damn

#

wait

pine ginkgo
#

why do you think it is in präteritum?

#

is it regular or irregular?

ocean robin
#

oh shit I forgot that verb is irregular

#

x.x

pine ginkgo
#

well even if it weren't

#

you didn't use prätertitum

ocean robin
#

oh shit

#

wait

pine ginkgo
#

maybe you did

#

maybe you didn't

ocean robin
#

"Ich schrieb eine Geschichte, dass vier Blätter lang war."

#

I did lul

#

i knew it

pine ginkgo
#

anyway

ocean robin
#

And what is wrong with war?

pine ginkgo
#

Blätter isn't really wrong

#

but you would use "Seiten"

ocean robin
#

oh okay

pine ginkgo
#

nothing is wrong with war

ocean robin
#

Ah.

#

So it was just that I inversed letters huh

#

spelling

pine ginkgo
#

well

#

i don't believe in typos

#

if you don't notice them

ocean robin
#

oh

#

And can we do a sentence with dative and accusative?

opal sequoia
#

Sure.

#

Hmmm.

ocean robin
#

That way I can choose the correct one 🤔

opal sequoia
#

Anyone else who wants to make one, feel free.

ocean robin
#
