And to get back to Arrem's helpful assistance

What do modal verbs do in sentence

[ocean robin]

wait.

[pine ginkgo]

translate this real quick I must go

[fair iron]

^

[thick charm]

or rather what don't they do

[pine ginkgo]

they don't do you, chuck

[thick charm]

I'm done already

I'm good

[grand seal]

First of all, find out what a modal verb is. 😄

[ocean robin]

LOL

[pine ginkgo]

[fair iron]

Yep.

[thick charm]

✅

[pine ginkgo]

[ocean robin]

Wait.

Is it only tragen.

[fair iron]

🎉

[pine ginkgo]

is it?

[thick charm]

yup

[grand seal]

Yeeee

[thick charm]

well müssen + tragen

[ocean robin]

godammit

[fair iron]

Hatten [...] zu tragen is not the same as mussten [...] tragen.

[thick charm]

but I'd assume you meant that

[ocean robin]

yes

[thick charm]

So can we get the sentence once more?

[fair iron]

[ocean robin]

yus

[thick charm]

You can do it this time

we all believe in you

This is a really cheesy episode of the Digimon anime

[fair iron]

Nope, you're good.

[ocean robin]

yay

[sudden panther]

I was gonna say "Now find the mistake" just to mess with you, but Casca and Chuck were too fast. 😦

[thick charm]

So do you have any questions?

[fair iron]

[thick charm]

Just in case you didn't understand why it has to be that way just yet

[ocean robin]

Mmmh, not yet

[fair iron]

Hey Nico and or Base, would you like to translate a quote into German? ^^

[ocean robin]

Nico is long gone for haircut.

[fair iron]

Oh.

[grand seal]

I have one that I think would be quite challenging.

[fair iron]

^^

[ocean robin]

Base is uh. Where is he.

[sudden panther]

Hopefully in bed.

[thick charm]

@opal sequoia

[pine ginkgo]

The school class wants to go to Disneyland for the summer school trip.

[grand seal]

I think he's translating

[thick charm]

^ shameless tagging

[opal sequoia]

Eh?

[thick charm]

they were looking for you

[ocean robin]

omg solet

[fair iron]

Translate this into German, Base: First we learn to read, then we read to learn.

[sudden panther]

Bedtime mister.

[thick charm]

ooh I like it Casca

That's a good one

[fair iron]

Then let me introduce you to the one and only Jaden Smith.

His Twitter is brilliant.

[grand seal]

Omg

Yas

[thick charm]

You're right, that is a jaden quote

[opal sequoia]

Oh, I was translating, yeah.

[thick charm]

I didn't even realise

[sudden panther]

Pls no Casca. 😦

What you can translate is "North Korea has conducted a major Nuclear Test. Their words and actions continue to be very hostile and dangerous to the United States....."

[thick charm]

I'm impressed

Well done Base!

[ocean robin]

Whoa.

[opal sequoia]

Thanks. This was Jawzie's that I translated.

[ocean robin]

And I see that my attempt is wrong.

[opal sequoia]

Wörte sind blasse Schatten vergessener Namen. Wie Namen Macht haben, haben Wörte Macht. Wörte können Feuer im Gedächtnis der Menschen machen. Wörte können Tränen der steinerensten Herzen abringen.

[ocean robin]

Almost though.

My personal favourite is this one:
If there is bread winners, there is bread losers. But you can't toast what isn't real. #BreadPeopleLives

[opal sequoia]

But it's a bit weird because I don't know what might be similar metaphors in German.

[ocean robin]

wat is this.

WHAT CASCA

That is gold lmao

[opal sequoia]

Or if I used the right translation of words.

[sudden panther]

"The Fake News is becoming more and more dishonest! Even a dinner arranged for top 20 leaders in Germany is made to look sinister!"

[pine ginkgo]

[thick charm]

[opal sequoia]

Which is the right one for this context, Luna?

Worte is the phrases and Wörter is the individual words?

[sudden panther]

Well you went for a mix, Base. "Wörte" 😛

[ocean robin]

The school class wants to go to Disneyland for the summer school trip.

Let's doooooo that.

I'll give you a 1/10 for effort.

Oh, did I misspell it? Abringen I meant to write.

Oh damn. Rude.

[grand seal]

Casca refer back to my picture of Jaden with multiple third eyes. It explains my feelings on this matter.

[ocean robin]

[pine ginkgo]

"Die Klasse" singular or plural

[quasi merlin]

What is happening and why is Casca copying quotes?

[ocean robin]

oh damn

[sudden panther]

Casca is now Jaden.

[ocean robin]

[grand seal]

They are Jaden Smith tweets.

[thick charm]

Does that mean I can put (sic) after all my German and I won't be responsible for the grammar?

[sudden panther]

That's not the answer Flops.

Okay that got me. I was laughing so hard

[sudden panther]

"Die Schulklasse wollen zu Disneyland für die Sommerschulreise gehen."

[fair iron]

I don't want you to think because I was born in America that I speak and abide by English grammar. I speak Jaden, indefinitely. [sic]

[ocean robin]

wher did I go wrong

[sudden panther]

Rethink that, keeping in mind that Klasse is indeed singular.

[fair iron]

You taught me how to play the piano but have never heard me.

[ocean robin]

AH.

they are quotes

[thick charm]

So I agree with him on that

[sudden panther]

Translate them to German.

[ocean robin]

LOL

And now it's all silent.

[pine ginkgo]

well, you have to translate

[ocean robin]

Now I can concentrate

mmmt

I dunno if I use nach or zu now

[pine ginkgo]

eheh

try your best

[ocean robin]

anyway let's use "ich will nach Deutschland gehen" I almost said wollte. Whai.

[pine ginkgo]

okay

now look back at your previous sentence

[ocean robin]

mmmh

[thick charm]

Look at your sentence, now back to me, now back to your sentence, now back. to. me. Sadly, your sentence is not me. But he can smell like me.

[pseudo trail]

LOL

[ocean robin]

Is it that "für Disneyland"?

LMAO

[pine ginkgo]

huh

why?

[ocean robin]

Is it true?

Wait.

[pine ginkgo]

what

[grand seal]

'Is it that' Your French is showing.

[ocean robin]

The school class wants to go to Disneyland for the summer school trip.

[pine ginkgo]

yes

now fix that sentence

with your new knowledge

[ocean robin]

mmmh.

your new knowledge

well uh wher is wrong

[fair iron]

Somewhere.

[pine ginkgo]

okay

[ocean robin]

Yes, I can see that

[pine ginkgo]

translate this for me flaps

I want to go to Disneyland

[ocean robin]

weee

Oh.

"Ich will nach Disneyland gehen?"

Wait.

wot.

[thick charm]

Take note, it can be one of two things here.

The second one is a bit obscure though, so nach is the one you want to use here

[ocean robin]

Zu or nach. 👀

[pine ginkgo]

chuck is a smart man

never zu

[quasi merlin]

nach

[ocean robin]

goddamn

I like zu too much then

[pine ginkgo]

yes

[thick charm]

It can also be "ins" (in das), which probably doesn't make sense to you right now.

Since the "land" in Disneyland is a different "land" than the land in Deutschland.

But just ignore that for now, okay?

[pine ginkgo]

listen to the smart man

[ocean robin]

wot

[opal sequoia]

If someone wants to try translating something more difficult: In dealings such as this, where something is put to use, our concern subordinates itself to the "in-order-to" which is constitutive for the equipment we are employing at the time; the less we just stare at the Hammer-thing, and the more we seize hold of it and use it, the more primordial does our relationship to it become, and the more unveiledly is it encountered as that which it is - as equipment.

[ocean robin]

👀

No way thanks.

anyway, nach or ins gotcha

[thick charm]

^ Never use ins for actual countries.

[ocean robin]

yes lul

[thick charm]

👌

[pine ginkgo]

ICH WILL IN DIE SCHWEIZ

[thick charm]

ins Frankenreich

Anyway

Where were we?

[ocean robin]

uuuuh

[pine ginkgo]

you make senetencerttaet

chuck

[thick charm]

uhh

Flappy wasn't done with the current one yet, right?

[opal sequoia]

Make senetencerttaet or bane.

[ocean robin]

No, but if there are no mistakes left

[thick charm]

I'm sure there still are

could you try and write it again?

[ocean robin]

of course my boy

yes sure

[thick charm]

Just so we have something to start off of

[ocean robin]

"Die Schulklasse will nach Disneyland für die Sommerschulreise gehen."

[thick charm]

I'll let it slide, well done!

Any objections, Solet?

[grand seal]

geheb*

[quasi merlin]

Memes.

[pine ginkgo]

it's alright

[thick charm]

Alright.

[ocean robin]

WHOA.

ONLY NACH WHOA.

[thick charm]

Just one tiny thing, native Germans would probably rearrange the word order a little bit

[ocean robin]

[thick charm]

but it's correct grammatically

So are you ready for your next sentence?

[ocean robin]

Yeee!

[hot cloak]

Can I join too?

[thick charm]

You're gonna love this one

Sure man

the more the merrier

[hot cloak]

Cool!

[thick charm]

I suppose we'll have to find a different sentence for you though

Since you're B and all

[fair iron]

Auf der Mauer auf der Lauer sitzt 'ne Wanze.

[thick charm]

Okay Flappy, translate this: Litten is a quadruped, feline Pokémon covered with primarily black fur.

[pine ginkgo]

The Chuck chucked a chuck with a chuckling chuck, when a chuck chuckedly chucked the Chuck

[hot cloak]

Well I'm actually A2-B1 my mistake @thick charm

[fair iron]

Ooh, Chuck.

[thick charm]

Then let's go with "You've probably figured it out by now, but I don't need you anymore." for you, Krank.

[ocean robin]

Ooooh yay Chuck.

[grand seal]

TIL quadruped is spelled with a u.

[fair iron]

^^

[grand seal]

I always thought it was quadraped.

But that looks awful now that I think about it.

[fair iron]

You just want Flappy to look up some scientific terms, Chuck. 😛

[thick charm]

Nah I just copied that straight off of bulbapedia

[hot cloak]

Du hast es wahrscheinlich bis jetzt geschätzt, aber ich brauche dich nicht mehr?

[thick charm]

the second part is good

[hot cloak]

Okay

[thick charm]

"by now" is its own adverb though, you can't translate it like that

wait nvm you could

but "bis jetzt" doesn't fit here

[hot cloak]

derzeit?

[thick charm]

It's more like "already" in this context

[grand seal]

"Chuck!" chucked Chuck chuckedly, chucking his chuckèd chuck.

[hot cloak]

schon?

[thick charm]

Yup, schon would work.

Just like "inzwischen"

[hot cloak]

Du hast es wahrscheinlich schon geschätzt?

[ocean robin]

"Litten ist ein vierfüßiges, katzenartiges Pokémon mit hauptsächlich schwarz Pels angedacht."

[quasi merlin]

You cannot use "schätzen" here.

[ocean robin]

[pine ginkgo]

case, flaps

[thick charm]

schätzen is closer to "to estimate" or "to guess"

[fair iron]

^

[thick charm]

to figure something out has its own translation

[hot cloak]

Yeah it's the closest I could get

[fair iron]

The word is der Quadrupede, Flappy. ^^

[hot cloak]

Etwas entdecken?

[ocean robin]

👀

[thick charm]

Right so, entdecken is technically not wrong, but it doesn't really work in this context either. The word you want to be using here is closer to "rausfinden" or "herausbekommen"

[ocean robin]

Oh, "schwarze" mmmmh wait before it is not nominative

[thick charm]

or "über etwas im Klaren sein"

[hot cloak]

Oh new words to learn!

Yay!

[ocean robin]

Unless schwarze, wat is wrong Solet

[thick charm]

So Flappy, two things here. The first half of the sentence is flawless. Covered doesn't translate as "andenken", there's another word that would fit better here. And as you already figured out, Pelz is not Nominativ.

[pine ginkgo]

the case

[ocean robin]

wait

Litten's fur

👀

Genetiv?

[pine ginkgo]

mit

[ocean robin]

goddamit

[hot cloak]

Genau

[ocean robin]

oh yay

[grand seal]

Remember mit?

You met earlier.

[thick charm]

So Krank, knowing these things, would you mind trying it one more time?

[hot cloak]

Sure

[ocean robin]

Yes thay mit

[thick charm]

aber ich brauche dich nicht mehr is perfect, don't change anything there.

Perfect as in flawless, just so people don't get confused.

[hot cloak]

Wahrscheinlich has du es schon rausgefunden, aber ich brauce dich nicht mehr

[thick charm]

Yup!

[ocean robin]

Dative.

[hot cloak]

Yippee!

[thick charm]

Well done, you're just lacking two letters

hast and brauche

[grand seal]

has

😄

[hot cloak]

Yay autocorrect

Ich hasse es

[grand seal]

Nerf autocorrect

[ocean robin]

mmh so if it's "dem Pels"

[thick charm]

Pelz, with a z

[ocean robin]

wooo

[thick charm]

But yes, it's Dativ.

dem Pelz

[ocean robin]

schwarzem?

[thick charm]

✅

[ocean robin]

lol what

[fair iron]

^^

[ocean robin]

And what is the other mistake?

[thick charm]

Now what word could you use for "covered" there rather than andenken/angedacht?

[ocean robin]

Number of mistakes are falling off, I see.

[thick charm]

Yeah, you're steadily improving.

[ocean robin]

owo

Too much just too much words

[thick charm]

https://www.dict.cc/?s=covered try this instead

[hot cloak]

I knew it has something to do with decken!

[ocean robin]

LOL

bedeckt

[thick charm]

It's an adjective in this case

[ocean robin]

kappa

[thick charm]

yup, bedeckt would be the word to use here

In German you want this to be a subordinate clause too, so you'll want to use a comma.

good luck

[ocean robin]

Yeeeah but whai a subordinate clause?

"Who has black fur an dblalal?"

[thick charm]

I mean you could try and make it one sentence and it could work, but it feels more natural to have a clear distinction in there.

And yup, it would be close to that

[ocean robin]

mmmh, let's try that then

[thick charm]

Actually

try to make it one sentence

I'm spewing bullshit again

It would feel more natural, but it's probably to difficult for you to translate correctly. You can try it if you want though, not stopping you.

[ocean robin]

"Litten ist ein vierfüßiges, wo katzenartiges Pokemon mit hauptsächlich schwarzem Pelz bedeckt"?

[thick charm]

Where did the wo come from?

[hot cloak]

Yeah

Wo is for a place

[ocean robin]

woopsie

wat to use then

[thick charm]

nothing

[ocean robin]

Ah.

[thick charm]

ein vierfüßiges, katzenartiges Pokémon.

That works

[ocean robin]

"Litten ist ein vierfüßiges, katzenartiges Pokemon mit hauptsächlich schwarzem Pelz bedeckt"

[cold vessel]

I must be blind, where's the English sentence?

[thick charm]

So the thign with this sentence is that no matter how you twist it (while probably still grammatically correct), trying to fit it all into one main clause doesn't really work.

itten is a quadruped, feline Pokémon covered with primarily black fur.

[ocean robin]

Yeeah.

[thick charm]

There are two ways to solve this

[ivory jolt]

Relativsatz

[thick charm]

First the easy one with a subordinate clause with das/welches, the second one would be to work a little magic and make it work without a Relativsatz.

[whole rapids]

@cold vessel Behold: Litten is a quadruped, feline Pokémon covered with primarily black fur

[thick charm]

"Litten ist ein vierfüßiges, katzenartiges Pokemon, das/welches hauptsächlich mit schwarzem Fell/Pelz bedeckt ist."

That would work

BUT

[ocean robin]

THERE'S A BUT

[whole rapids]

aber

[thick charm]

You could also say "Litten ist ein vierfüßiges, katzenartiges Pokemon, hauptsächlich bedeckt mit schwarzem Fell." - which isn't wrong either theoretically but it just doesn't sound great.

You want the Relativsatz there to make it sound good.

The latter one would be the most direct translation though.

[ivory jolt]

...Or turn the whole "mit... bedeckt" into 1 adjective

Oh btw hi guys just back from haircut :p

[ocean robin]

[thick charm]

How would you do that?

Hey Nico

welcome back

schwarzfellbedeckt?

[ivory jolt]

Ein Mit schwarzem Fell bedecktes Pokemon

[ocean robin]

[thick charm]

Yeah that works as well, true.

[quasi merlin]

Litten ist ein mit hauptsächlich schwarzem Fell bedecktes, vierfüßiges, katzenartiges Pokémon.

But he is no native speaker ._.

Doesn't work like that, native has to be given to you by a mod

And since he couldn't decide whether he was a native or not & he trolled us yesterday, I doubt he's gonna get it.

[lost dagger]

This is dumb, I have online assignments due at random times throughout the day

like some are 7 am, some are 9 am, some are 9:59 am, 12 pm, 3 pm, 12 pm

it's not consistent at all

[opal sequoia]

For the same class?

[lost dagger]

yes

[opal sequoia]

That is really strange.

[lost dagger]

all online grammar assignments on one site

for my english class

[opal sequoia]

7am is a weird time for a submission deadline.

[lost dagger]

Yeah

[hot cloak]

I found out you can play Words With Friends in other languages. I set it to German and learned quickly that my vocabulary is terrible lmao

Practically non-existent, but I guess that's not really surprising

[pine ginkgo]

well yes

[hot cloak]

Looked at my letters and I'm like "I can't make basic prepositions with these!" 😂

I didn't expect to be able to do it, I was just wondering how far I could make it.

What could I have made? Out of curiosity.

[pine ginkgo]

ex

🤔

[mild cosmos]

what are words like "besonders, deshalb, damals, damit, dafür" called so that I can find more information about them? I mean, what part of speech are they?

[opal sequoia]

Adverbs?

Or sometimes adjectives or conjunctions.

[mild cosmos]

thank you, I actually realized like right as you said that, that I could look one up in the dictionary to see what part of speech it was

[opal sequoia]

Ahh, yeah, that's a good idea.

[mild cosmos]

seems like this will be my grammar study material for a couple of hours or at least until I can make more sense of them https://www.lsa.umich.edu/german/hmr/Grammatik/Da/Da.html

[opal sequoia]

👌

I will also study some of that when I get time.

[mild cosmos]

Da+Präpositionen ist nicht so schwierig "am Papier," aber ich denke das oft und ich bin meistens falsch

[azure oyster]

...Hallo.

[ocean robin]

Heyo @thick charm, are you free for our good little game?

[thick charm]

I'm not, sorry. Busy doing a thing.

[azure oyster]

Schade.

[ocean robin]

It's okay.

Let's ask to simps then. It'll be his 1st time.

[sudden panther]

Besonders and damals are adverbs and have nothing to do with what you want, while deshalb is a conjunction, dafür is a pronominal adverb and damit can be both a conjunction and a pronomial adverb depending on where it is in the sentence.
Those ones that you're looking for are called Pronominaladverbs or Präpositionaladverb and they're what happens when you join a preposition and an adverb. 😉

[ocean robin]

look a lesson

[sudden panther]

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronominaladverb#Liste_der_gebr.C3.A4uchlichsten_Pronominaladverbien_in_der_deutschen_Sprache

[azure oyster]

Yay

[ocean robin]

Also hey Arrem.

[azure oyster]

FML German keyboard

[ocean robin]

LOL

[azure oyster]

Very difficult to use

[sudden panther]

Hey Flops!

[ocean robin]

Solet is here. Problem solved.

[pine ginkgo]

you shouldn't need to use a german keyboard if you are not used to it or living in germany :o

[ocean robin]

I do that as well for phone

[azure oyster]

I'd rather memorize a keyboard than the alt-codes for non-ASCII characters

[sudden panther]

I don't need to use a german keyboard? 😮 GroBartig!

[pine ginkgo]

i hope you are not programming :D

[azure oyster]

"Non-ASCII" :P

What else would I be doing :P

[pine ginkgo]

oh man

i hope you are not programming with a german layout lol

[azure oyster]

Nah always US English

[ocean robin]

👌

[azure oyster]

Can't do it on anything else

I can technically type with Canadian Multilingual Standard

But not in C/C++ :P

[ocean robin]

Anyway, are you both ready for translating game?

[azure oyster]

I am honestly not :P

Watching TV with my parents

[ocean robin]

LOL

ooooh

[azure oyster]

I just have my iPad on my lap :P

[ocean robin]

hehehe

[pine ginkgo]

Anyway, are you ready for the translation game?

go flaps

[azure oyster]

Flöps :P

[ocean robin]

yes but me doesn't have a sentence D:

[pine ginkgo]

you do now :)

[ocean robin]

holy shit

That is the sentence I must translate riiiight

[pine ginkgo]

yep

[ocean robin]

i wanted to translate "anyway" with "also" so hard

[azure oyster]

Moi aussi (no)

[ocean robin]

lul

"Also, bist du bereits für das Übersetzen Spiel?"

[pine ginkgo]

two mistakes

or three

mhh

or no

lets say two

good luck flaps

[ocean robin]

Typo?

[pine ginkgo]

not sure

you tell me

at least two mistakes

[ocean robin]

hoyl

First I wasn't sure about bereits

[pine ginkgo]

what does it mean in english?

[ocean robin]

Doesn't it mean ready?

[whole rapids]

🙃

[pine ginkgo]

what does it mean in english?

[ocean robin]

Oh god.

Another fokking typo.

[pine ginkgo]

are you sure

its a typo

[ocean robin]

*bereit, bereits is already

I am sure of it

[pine ginkgo]

how about

you just proofread your sentence

before sending it

[ocean robin]

By who?

[pine ginkgo]

by yourself?

how did you know it was a typo?

[ocean robin]

mmmh I already knew the word bereit for ready though

And when I sent the sentence I felt that was wierd

[pine ginkgo]

so how did you not notice it

whatever

well

you had a feeling

it's alright

there's one more translationmistake

[ocean robin]

Isn't that the "translating"

[pine ginkgo]

find out

[ocean robin]

[pine ginkgo]

check carefully what my sentence is

[ocean robin]

I can't see it

[pine ginkgo]

oh well

what is the translation of translation

[ocean robin]

I knew it.

[pine ginkgo]

really.

you seem to know a lot

[ocean robin]

To translate is übersetzen.

[pine ginkgo]

and despite that you still make the mistake

[ocean robin]

I knew the mistake was there

[pine ginkgo]

do you really know it if you make the mistake?

[ocean robin]

But not what

[pine ginkgo]

so why didn't you tell me

when i asked you

[ocean robin]

Because I didn't know the correct one but knew it was on this word

[pine ginkgo]

so why didnt you tell me

it was that word

[ocean robin]

Didn't I say it?

[sudden panther]

do you really know it if you make the mistake?
Tief.

[pine ginkgo]

no

[ocean robin]

Anyway.

I see Übersetzung.

mmmh

[whole rapids]

My turn for sentence.

Or is the game over?

[pseudo trail]

OMG

Hi

[ocean robin]

It is not Pferd.

[sudden panther]

Righto. Flops.

das Übersetzen Spiel
doesn't quite work. Any other ideas?

[ocean robin]

🤔

Nah. No ideas come up now.

[sudden panther]

Again, what does übersetzen mean?

[ocean robin]

To...wait.

Is it the verb to translate?

[sudden panther]

Yes.

[ocean robin]

Holy whai.

*Übersetzung.

[sudden panther]

Because it's in lowercase and ends with -en. Yes. Good.

And to be fancy we can smash Übersetzung and Spiel into one word.

[whole rapids]

don't forget the s

[ocean robin]

woooo

[fair iron]

Final step, Flappy!

You've got this.

[ocean robin]

Übersetzungspiel.

[whole rapids]

you forgot the s

[ocean robin]

Looks fancy waw.

wher.

[fair iron]

Between Übersetzung and Spiel.

[sudden panther]

Most of the time when combining words, you need something to glue them together. Like here.

[fair iron]

^

[ocean robin]

Ohhhh.

Übersetzungsspiel. c:

[fair iron]

🎉

[whole rapids]

https://blogs.transparent.com/german/compound-words-das-fugen-s-im-deutschen-the-linking-s-in-german-part-1/

relevant

guess you don't know about that

[ocean robin]

yay

[whole rapids]

seems most feminine endings require an s when compounding

[fair iron]

Translate: The barrel juice. ^^

[ocean robin]

[pseudo trail]

omg may I join in

[pine ginkgo]

lol casca

[fair iron]

Of course.

Perhaps you can help me, Solet. I need a feminine noun ending in -ss.

Das Fass is the closest I've gotten so far.

[pine ginkgo]

does it exist? 🤔

[ocean robin]

wait... what the heck

[fair iron]

Not sure.

I hope so. ^^

[ocean robin]

[pine ginkgo]

if you wanna slur Die Kress'

[ocean robin]

I must put 4 s here?

[pine ginkgo]

eheheh

[ocean robin]

whaaaat is this

[fair iron]

😄

[ocean robin]

I just want to say the "der Fasssaft" but god why 3 s I don't wang to put another one please don't say there is another one what

[fair iron]

Yep. ^^

Correct.

[ocean robin]

:0

What.

[fair iron]

Now translate the following: The ship journey.

[whole rapids]

oh

[fair iron]

Without using -reise.

:]

[ocean robin]

Goddamit.

God Casca. Why another one with 3 times the same letter.

Why.

[fair iron]

Because it's fun.

^^

[ocean robin]

LOL

Die Schrifffahrt. :]

[fair iron]

Would you prefer translating a compound word that has seven consecutive vowels?

[ocean robin]

God I love this.

[pine ginkgo]

Schrifffahrt

🤔

[ocean robin]

[fair iron]

😄

[pine ginkgo]

setzen, 6

[fair iron]

Hmm?

[ocean robin]

WAIT WHAT. SEVEN CASCA.

[fair iron]

Two thirds of the letters in setzen aren't vowels, Solet.

[ocean robin]

I want to see the word.

[fair iron]

Yes, seven, Flappy.

[pine ginkgo]

no

flappsy

[fair iron]

Translate this: The three-egg-eggsalad.

[pine ginkgo]

you first write the word correctly

[pseudo trail]

do you say it by making whale noises?

[fair iron]

No.

[pine ginkgo]

go back to the previous word

and write it correctly

[pseudo trail]

Dreieieisalat?

[pine ginkgo]

before continuing

[fair iron]

Close, but not quite.

[ocean robin]

WTF

[pine ginkgo]

flappsy

[fair iron]

I agree with Solet, Flappy.

[pine ginkgo]

write The ship journey again

[ocean robin]

oh

[fair iron]

No use starting one task before ending another. ^^

[ocean robin]

wher did I go wrong

[pine ginkgo]

well

try proofchecking yourself

try pronouncing it

[ocean robin]

[fair iron]

^

Translate each noun separately, Flappy.

[ocean robin]

Pronouncating 3 f. What.

[pine ginkgo]

no

the whole word

[ocean robin]

[pine ginkgo]

okay

let's do this

translate journey

[fair iron]

^

[ocean robin]

Wait wot.

[fair iron]

Translate journey, Flappy. ^^

[ocean robin]

I wanted to use -reise though. :(

[pine ginkgo]

don't use it

and just do it

[ocean robin]

okay then

I can see Fahrt.

[pine ginkgo]

okay

.... how did you translate the ship journey

[crystal delta]

[pine ginkgo]

and then be confused as how to translate journey

well anyway

translate The ship now

[ocean robin]

I-I just put Fahrt and Schiff together

andd poof

[pine ginkgo]

and what is The ship journey translated?

[fair iron]

^

[ocean robin]

don't tell me it has over 3 f.

Plox.

[pine ginkgo]

[ocean robin]

^ ^ ^ ^ ^

You did.

^^

[ocean robin]

[pine ginkgo]

[ocean robin]

"From now one" Solet 2017

[fair iron]

*on. ^^

[pine ginkgo]

thank you caca

[ocean robin]

[fair iron]

You are most welcome.

[ocean robin]

Is this a stupid typo or you wanted to write French in here?

[fair iron]

Now translate the word I gave you, Flappy.

[ocean robin]

holy.

[pine ginkgo]

and flappsy

check for typos

[ocean robin]

yes. ;_;

Das Dreieieissalat. wot.

[ocean robin]

LOL

[valid ice]

[ocean robin]

Forgot that there are several eggs

[pine ginkgo]

well

[valid ice]

🤔 n

[pine ginkgo]

one day

the day might be very far in the future

but one day

flappsy will translate something correctly

[ocean robin]

screenshot

On September 6th, Flops will have 1% chance to translate something correctly.

[valid ice]

flæpsies you will get there soon ^^

[ocean robin]

I love how typo is my friend but that I hate it

;_;

[opal sequoia]

You are doing a good job for practicing so much but you need to focus more.

[ocean robin]

Focus more?

Oh yeah.

Typos.

[opal sequoia]

When you write your answer, you should be able to look at it and understand why every part is written that way.

[ocean robin]

Yeah, will focus way more on that.

[opal sequoia]

🌞

[ocean robin]

I am quite impatient for the German class I'll have tommorow as well. The first since 2 months. I missed them without noticing it.

[proven eagle]

:c

[opal sequoia]

That's exciting.

[ocean robin]

And I have 3 hours of it.

🎉

Let's see another sentence Base, and if I can focus on that more like with cases and stuff.

[opal sequoia]

"The book I gave you for your birthday is my favourite, although the ending of the story is very sad."

[ocean robin]

Ooooh.

[lime zealot]

servus allerseits

[shy bobcat]

Hey

:smile:

[opal sequoia]

Hallo.

[fair iron]

[ocean robin]

Awww, all I wrote in there dissapered, whai. :/

Not sure how I should translate "favorite" though.

I am almost translating "favorite book" but that's not it.

And if so...

[fair iron]

Favourites are often turned into compound nouns.

[whole rapids]

he wrote "favourite" though 🙃

[fair iron]

Lieblingsessen, Lieblingsfilm, usw.

[ocean robin]

Yeah, I know all of those, and that's kinda because of them that I want to do it here.

[opal sequoia]

Yes, you can write it like favourite book, flappy. 🌞

[ocean robin]

But wait. I think I got it.

Oh okay.

[opal sequoia]

Unless you want to try something else.

[ocean robin]

"Das Buch habe ich dir gegeben, ist mein Lieblingsbuch/Lieblings, obwohl das Endes der Geschichte sehr traurig ist."

GOD THAT GENETIVE I AM NOT SURE. MAYBE IT'S "des Endes die Geschichte."

mmmh maybe I can spot typos now that I see the text way better

[pine ginkgo]

flappsy

do you know what a Relativsatz is

[ocean robin]

I have heard of that name before

[pine ginkgo]

okay

let's do it differently

how many clauses does your sentence have

[ocean robin]

3?

[opal sequoia]

Flappy, do you remember what I told you last time about the genitive?

[ocean robin]

Wait.

It's the owner who gets the genetive declination, right?

[pine ginkgo]

okay, please tell me all the subjects in your clauses

[ocean robin]

I did that mistake twice then. Once here. I switched the noun who should have genetive.

And Solet, wait a sec, sure

Hehehe. Now I can't see subjects.

1 and 2 are ich. 3 is uuuh 🤔

[lavish saddle]

1 and 2 aren't ich

[opal sequoia]

Yeah, owner is genitive.

[lavish saddle]

1 should be the book, 2 should be ich...I believe

[ocean robin]

I knew it.

I thought about the book though.

But is the verb conjugated about the book or ich?

[pine ginkgo]

well

[ocean robin]

[pine ginkgo]

that's easy

what would the verb look like if it's ich

[ocean robin]

I said "das Buch habe ich gegeben"

[pine ginkgo]

and what would the verb look like if it's the book

[ocean robin]

Ich = habe; es = ist

So subject is ich.

[pine ginkgo]

okay

how does it work with ist mein Lieblingsbuch

[ocean robin]

Oh.

[pine ginkgo]

what's the subject for this?

[ocean robin]

Lieblingsbuch? Because of ist?

[pine ginkgo]

that's not really a full sentence, is it?

[ocean robin]

Kinda not...

I just seperated it to not be confused about the another part

[pine ginkgo]

well

what word do you think would be a fitting subject?

[ocean robin]

mmmmh

I can't see something thay would fit... I was thinking about "das" but thought it was wierd. 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

well

what do you think the subject is in the english sentence

that should be easier

name the subjects in the english sentence

[ocean robin]

There, it's the book.

The book is the subject.

[pine ginkgo]

what does it mean for your sentence?

[ocean robin]

That I should swap ich and the book?

[pine ginkgo]

what would that accomplish?

[ocean robin]

Well, either way yeah, the sentence would be the same if I'd swap them

I should change the verbs then

And the sentence as well if so

[pine ginkgo]

small tip

add a that between book and I

and look at it again

[ocean robin]

Ooooh

The book that I gave!
