@cold vessel just to be clear Norwegian also use æøå right - never thought of it before?
Yes
Thanks!
Gummibarchen
Gummibärchen
yeah, norwegians use åæø because they got their writing from SUPERIOR DANISH 🇩🇰 🇩🇰 🇩🇰

Ari stahp you are making Denmark brush! 😊
Please continue
æ lik ikke dæn I dunno how to talk in that dialect 
@ivory turret
Oh and then there're the measure words
Or whatever you call them in Japanese. In Chinese they were measure words
The way to look at German clauses is there's four slots. The verb always goes in the second in a main clause.
counters?
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
They have patterns
only ones starting in h, k, s, p, t change
and each has it's own pattern
Interesting
with few exceptions that don't matter
Maybe I'll get back into it
I used to follow George's JFZ videos on YouTube
The ones going alongside the textbook(s)
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)
ye
I remember a lot of random words
Is he 10?
Idk
I'd find that hard :/
Why is it there in the first place?
lol
What kind of damn dragon is that?
I kinda get it from the working out but still some of it I dunno cuz I don't remember the rules for those sums
Idk sorry but thanks
It still makes no sense
How did it get there?
is it on the book or did you photoshop it?
I guess you could write it as the cube root of 4/x if you wanted.
@sturdy shadow i didn't quite catch what the krefelders said each time the announcer read köln's score, back during the hockey match
Except from hu hu hu
I will thanks. I don't really know what he wants :c
@pallid kelp der neue Spielstand
KRRRREFELD: 7
Köln: 3. Viel, Viel zu viel! Scheiß Kölner Haie! Scheiß DEG! Schluss hier!
Raus hier!
Bu! Bu! Bu!
hahaha
👌
how does something like this become a thing? xD
I mean, yeah
but there are a lot of words to make fun of kölners, why did this specific combination get adopted as the go-to?
We even chant that if neither cologne nor düsseldorf are involved
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
hahaha
Because krefeld, dead last at the time, secured berlin a playoff spot by defeating düsseldorf two days prior
I just googled and there are no hockey catgirl pics
what.
Yes
if only I could draw anything more than dicks on dirty cars
No I did not. I still am a catgirl inside
If I could draw I'd add cat ears to the mini saber alter in my pic
add cat emojis instead of cat ears
oh shit, chica is back
hi
:heavy_check_mark: Given you the Level A role.
getrole Level A
:x: You already have this role.
i forgot how to say "sich unterscheiden" in english
Good. Now you're a true German.
Yes.
is there a way i can ask someone for help with writing a german email?
You can just ask
will someone be willing to help me with a german email
sure
yep
it depends if it's a matter of construction and formulation, you could always leave out stuff you don't want to be online, like <so> or [so]

:heavy_check_mark: Given you the Nerd role.
😮 coding channel, ncie
^^
it's the worst
also nap was a good idea
I had fun dreams
and don't feel nearly as crappy
I always feel way more crappy after naps
Yeah I usually do too but this was more an extension of the previous nights sleep
I got 5 hours, woke up to do the homework I needed to then slept for 2 more.
Should I take a B2 course at a german school near me? it's like $350 for 1 semester, once a week, 4 months
i know the people there are nice
i've been to their stammtisch a couple times
i'm 90% sure i'm a british citizen!!!

@viscid fiber
oh
sorry
there should be a wiki thing somwhere
you can follow through that
i orgot what its called
Your practical, free, comprehensive online resource for Chinese grammar. 1,824 articles and growing! Jump to: A1, A2, B1, B2
thats really all i have, if i happen to look p some other stuff, i'll try to do that
oh
hmmm
what kid of phone do you have?
kind*
lol
im not sure what basic grammar is
like
how basic we talking about
hm ok
then you can use soething called
oh i deleted the app it hink lol
so on iphone
its called "Hello Chinese" it's kinda like duolingo
actually
its p much chinese duolingo
it'll be good for making sentences and refreshing vocab
i mean i didnt but im sure
i could probably now
maybe
idk what to tell you to do for anything else ahahaha, other than just dive into some chinese material
i mean
sure i think it would be good
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
Korean has tones, yea ?
no?
wat
what is this mess
why is it not introduced at all LOL
oh
thats not
what i thought
you meant by tones
i thought sthat how conjugations worked?
and i thought it was hard to know when to use the formal Sie lol
bit of a foreign concept
doubt i could ever get a hold on it
not for me
do you have in korean
uhhh
you knwo some japanese right?
yeah
oh
so like
honorific/respectful language
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 would look i tup
but im way too lazy
i like japanese and chinese
i see
Depending on that, you lower yourself or lift them using different verbs
tru
Asian cultures are a bit more traditional i think
never been to asia but thats what i hear
is it very homogeneous over there?
japan is like 99% japanese
rude
but are you a weeb
not really lol
do you watch anime
i mean i do but not excessivelya nd i dont fangirl over it
smh
its contminated
u can go to Heck
being a weeb is too much work
im so vanilla in general tbh im not super into anything
except some musicals lol
do you study any othe rlangauge thal
I'd study with you if i could find some good sources
i'd hate myself for it
bc
latin has cases up the wazoo
@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. 😛
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)_/¯
'tis arcane knowledge
memes are always wrong so that they can enforce how right they are
#tief

punani
That's a word?
apparently it's hawaiian slang
for what's above
it's derived from puanani, which means pretty flower
great, another vulgar word to add to the internal inventory 👍
@shy bobcat coincedentally punani is very liked vulgar version for the female genitalia in denmark
Is it the sweat that makes it sweet?
like sickly sweet
yeah
it is
Should I be using google docs for my college päpers?
This guy in the library is listening to music through his headphones so loud that I can hear it
they recently added special zones to the library
for conversation, limited quiet conversation, and no noise
and we're in the no noise zone 😦
Tap them on the shoulder and point to the sign.
It is.
I swear he's playing the shittiest techno music
and at the volume he's playing it I doubt his ears even work anymore
nah dude
gotta sack up and tell him to cut the shit
at worst you get your ass kicked
totally worth
.
Are there any interesting books that are written in german only?
Perhaps a grammar book or something rather lengthy
I'm up for anything but I'd rather not read a romance or smut in german I'll wait while for that
How difficult should the text be?
Saw what
Not reading that
oke
Lustiges Taschenbuch might be a good text.
You can draw conclusions from the images as to what a certain word might mean.
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
@fair iron thank you for the book reccomenation
😃
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
right @opal sequoia @fair iron you guys know how to find the lowest common multiple by prime factorisation?
Sure.
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?
any ideas?
So you have to write each number as a product of primes?
(For part of it, not the entire task.)
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.
I get the 2^2 x 2^4 I think
What do you mean?
wtf do you do when there is no highest power, as with 154?
There's always a highest power silly.
x -> *
so it says to solve one way I could take the highest power of each prime number and multiply them
Yes.
I just explained what that means.
You take every number that occurs.
LCM = 2^a + 3^b + 7^c + 11^d
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.
shit i broke my alignment

Bitch.
Not sure if that's correct.
tfw connection issues
It should be. I didn't factorize by hand. Had wolfram do it instead.
I meant the: 132 = 2^2 * 3 * 11154 😄
Oh, I do. 
Sorry for not using your latex nice bot btw Arrem. I haven't learned how to use that yet. 😦
Is there a good link to a latex code generator site? Cause that might be a good thing to pin somewhere.
Also Daniel join us in the nerd cave for math talk. ❤
yes Daniel, do it 😄
Alright everyone. I get it now. Thanks.
😦
Also look Cat, we're actually talking in #general-2!
Ah yes a few 🙂
Everything probably isn't going to be fine, but it might be okay. That's not so bad is it? Help me to do this full-time, if you're deranged enough ► https://...

Er suchte nach Arrem, wusste aber nicht, wo er ihn finden sollte.
Er fing an Passanten auf dem Bürgersteig zu fragen, ob sie einen "Arrem" kennen würden.
Aber niemand wusste es
Dann fand er zufälligerweise einen Briefumschlag vor seinen Füßen.
Es stand weder Name noch Adresse auf dem Umschlag.
Außerdem war dieser mit Blut beschmiert.
oh wow it's a day earlier than I thought it was
meaning it's 1:30 at night and I have class in the morning
wut?
eh
you don't necessarily learn programming in computer science though
don't read too much into it
doesn't mean you are actually learning to program
you can go through computer science with minimum programming

like how people pass school without knowing math
98% can't solve it? Where did you hear that?
I wanna major in computer science and specialize in playing FarmVille
there's some blog from
... i think codinghorror?
where they talk about computer student graduates not necessarily learning programming
also how fizz buzz is a stupid way to gauge programmin skills
it was released like around... 10 years ago
i think
this was the blog from back then
the codinghorror blogpost related to that
there's a lot of related stuff to read about that is interesting about the philosophical aspects
also i think they had a revival talk earlier this year about it as anniversary
🤔
Interesting.
what is a fizzbuZz?
not really
what's this fizzbuzz about and why does it have the most american, least descriptive name I've ever seen for anything
uh
it's kinda a game
like you are counting
and every x number you say a word
and every y number you say another word
and the one who fails to do that
has to do punishment etc etc
it's a children's game
or a drunken man's game
depending on who you ask
the drinking version i'd call drinkburp
we like to do batman for every 7th number
goodbye/night
🤔
a little Batman
Why do you do ===?
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
it has the same value but not the same type ("2" is string, 2 is integer)
if you care about the type you want ===
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
it's alright
noice
Is it relevant to this problem?
what about 0 == false and 0 === false?
Is this just a js thing? 
Oh yeah.
going by logic, the second one should be false since 0 is an int and not a bool 🤔
if not, then it's stupid
Is bool a type in js?
probably? Not sure
yes
don't know of a language that doesn't have bool
C.
Oh I see.
But you have to import boolean to C, right? Is that the same for other languages?
That looks kinda fancy, Arrem.
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.
Teaching you how to misuse data types right from the start. 👌
Is it bad to do that?
people who use booleans would look at you weirdly
🤔
maybe that is how everyone looks at c
🤔
wait so what exactly is the bad practice here?
Also why are we having this conversation in #general-2? 🤔
@ocean robin Here is a good place to write things too.
Oh?
Yep.
Oh, I'll check out your writing thing quickly btw, I didn't look at it yet.
Oh, do you want the Chuck's correction?
Yes.
stabbed in the back
Wow, he did a good job.
ich wusste nichts mit dieser Situation anzufangen 🤔
🤔
heh
Yeah I know I fucked up there
Warte Luna
Annehmen, you see when I don't know a verb like that
Das passt
das apostroph passt? 🤔
Oh das ist dein Problem
Okay, Flappy, let's ignore these pedantic guys and start practicing.
LOL
"wissen" nice escapes, nerd.
Ich aß mit Schneepfote, und muss sagen
yes
what is wrong there
Da war ich mir nicht wirklich sicher, aber man kann es denke ich benutzen
na ja
Da du sowieso von einer Zeit in die andere wechselst
or are you just getting perfectionist
He is
i knew it
Etzt fickt Chuck dich richtig. Er hat niemandem was getan und du beleidigst ihn. :((((((((
but guys I came here for practicing LUL
while there are options where you can place a komma after und
generally... you shouldn't though
multiple times
How about you try to write this sentence in simple past first Flappy: he picked up the ball and threw it.
used too much by frenchies
So can I finally go now or is there anything else you want to pick apart
Mmmh.
And I will try to write a sentence in simple past too.
how fo you say "throw"?
OH
If you don't like that practice it's okay though of course. 😄
nuh it's okay hehe
oh a seprated verb noice
huh?
How can I do that then 🤔
I see auswählen
wat
🤔
how did you search
i see that
I still don't get how someone can be at the beach and meme here with us. 😛
German is important, Arrem!
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?
Oh, okay.
That's the one like "Ich aß" and "Ich spielte"
yeeeah
Ich bin heir
Feel free to give me a sentence if you want btw, or I can just get one from this book I have. 😄
Hi Jeb.
Hallo
hier
"How many licks do it take to get to center of a tootsie pop"?
🤔
Translate that one
Base could prob do it
Maybe try the verb aufheben.
Okay.
And when you want to search a verb phrase like that the best way is to specify it more.
Like "to pick sth up"
i dunno
"it"
what does it refer to
To the ball?
🤔
Because the ball isn't male?
are you sure?
I seriously don't know wat
why did you write der ball then?
close
AH
yes
🤔
Das Einhorn schnaubte und mit dem Kopf nickte und sein Horn spannte einen kurzen tatkräftigen Bogen.
Whoa.
oh
write your sentence again, correctly
o-oki
Anyone here tried Danish?
no and we don't care becauer we study German, sorry
Oh ok
Ja, schreib es wieder, Flappy!
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.
what is "Er" in the nominative case
which one :thonk:
... which one?
the ball or the person who is throwing it?
So the ball?
oh
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
Yes, I can see that
the ball, isn't it accusative?
mh wait then, I'll see how to decline it
Think about it like this, Flappy; "Er sieht mich. Ich sehe ... "
That's correct. 😄
What about the "der Ball" though? That's also accusative, right?
What do you think? 😛
I am sure one of those is dative.
What's the dative of "er"?
It's ihm.
Er, der. Es, das. Sie, die.
Yep.
heh I just saw that I picked the wrong colomn
"Er hob den Ball auf und warf ihn"
oh wait
there
fixed
yay
Want to try another?
Yep!
"The three cats chased a little grey mouse."
brah
Isn't it accusative?
yes
then
what is the gender of maus
Das?
try again
woopsie
I really thought it was das, then all my sentence is wrong :/
God it was die
you can always try again :)
Oh subordinate yay
(note, write 4 as a word, not as a number)
Oh yeah. 😄
Is this sentence referring to me LOL
Oh.
Oki.
"Ich schreib eine Geschichte, dass vier Blätter (saw this for pages) war.
🤔
oh shoot
I forgot "long"
"4 pages long"
🤔
i have no idea how to do that
This seems right
Sie stand auf und öffnete das Fenster und schwelgte in der Nachtluft, dem Mondlicht, und dem Nebel, der vom See rollte.
Is the "4 hour long" correct but we remplace hour with pages?
well
It's lang
nooo I just need to put that like
"Ich schreib eine Geschichte, dass vier Blätter lang war."?
well
base's is past
And mine is Präteritum right?
Don't tell me you need to use Perfekt here?
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.
Yep.
🤔
Well, I was about to ask actually, can you use "ist" for this?
eh, colloquially, yeah
it's not that, damn
🤔
look at your first verb
Thanks, makes sense.
yes
tell me the tense of your first verb
Präteritum nuh?
are you sure?
anyway
And what is wrong with war?
oh okay
nothing is wrong with war
That way I can choose the correct one 🤔
Anyone else who wants to make one, feel free.
hehe
She showed him the sights in the city.
for sightseeing
Oh.
places of interests
that's wrong anyway
;3;
lol don't worry. Die Eine's isnt correct.
AH
Die Eine, we can just give you a new sentence if you want.
what do you mean, flapps?
Die Eine: "They went at a walk down the snow-covered hillside towards the highway."
It started as a joke but I quickly realized this is an actual german studying server
Indeed. Now translate your sentence. 👌
LOL
let's do the sentence Pferd said first
no, you do it
Do the sights one first, Flappy. 😄
sehen is not show
not us
yep Base
oh that's what you meant
omg so many choices for to show
just waiting for Luna
enough to do with flappsy
LOL SOLET
omg can I try the sights one
sure
go ahead
Sie zeigt ihm die Sehen in der Stadt
close
not too close
k
Sie zeigte ihm (wtf is sights in that way) in die Stadt.
yeah, correct tense
well the accusative word is missing
deduce it 0mG
Or can I say sightseeing
what does the dictionary tell you for that?
wait
mhh
mmmh
that one line
has a note on it
what could that mean
would that fit
questions over questions
🤔
🤔
think with portals
what is my sentence?
would it be Gesicht? wouldn't that be face though
I wrote it yesterday in some exam thing
it's not, czar
well, it was in past perfekt
hmmms
it doesn't change anything still
yes
also I derped and wrote gezogen, dunno why, feelsbad.jpg
wait wat

aufgetaucht.
