They just need to send a bill for their own documents and stuff - they need to know that a book was sent to someone instead of just having disappeared.
Sie müssen einfach eine Rechnung für ihre eigene Dokumente und Zeuge schicken - sie müssen wissen, dass ein Buch jemandem geschickt wurde, anstelle von einfach zu verschwunden haben.
This one was a bit tricky. Am I in the ballpark or way off?
cold vessel
For the first part:
Sie müssen einfach eine Rechnung für ihre eigene Dokumente und so schicken
Is that better?
cold vessel
I can't even identify what tense that last part is 🤔
opal sequoia
Past.
cold vessel
I'm pretty lost to be honest. Does anyone have a hint, or a resource that covers whatever construct I need to use here?
opal sequoia
In English I think I'd call it a perfect past participle if that helps.
Hammers grammar is good for weird constructions.
viscid cape
What's a perfect past participle
hot cloak
Quatsch
cold vessel
@opal sequoia Thank you, I will check that out in the morning
pine ginkgo
You should also probably use another word than anstelle :)
opal sequoia
Like "having disappeared", @viscid cape
opal sequoia
Oh, sure, past and perfect. But the perfect participle is a past tense.

Ohh I see

Someone invited me to go to the beach on Saturday

is this something I should inform him about?
or would it be better for him to get a surprise sweet potato in the mail?
oh wait she said she'd send it to me to give to him i misread

@cold vessel Sie müssen einfach eine Rechnung für ihre eigenen Dokumente und anderen Dinge schicken - sie müssen wissen, dass ein Buch jemandem geschickt wurde, anstelle einfach verschwunden zu sein.
makes more sense to me
cold vessel
Oh, in that last part it's actually pretty similar to how we'd do it in Norwegian. The English tense really confused me ...
Couple of questions:
- You changed "eigene" to "eigenen". Does it take the soft ending because "ihre" marks the gender and case?
- How in the world do I know which translations of "instead of" to use? dict.cc lists four different prepositions
pine ginkgo
anstatt
lost dagger
I believe anstatt and statt are functionally the same, edit: maybe not idk
cold vessel
@pine ginkgo In what contexts would "anstelle (von)" be used?
torn kindle
"Nun gehe ich zu diesem Kurs anstelle von Luna"
cold vessel
@torn kindle Well, there's no "die" here, but I guess my question is if "ihre" fulfills the same role, in the sense of forcing the adjective to take the soft ending intead of the hard one
opal sequoia
@cold vessel If you said "meine eigenen Dokumente", would meine be the signifier of the gender? For ihre, or any such pronoun, it's the same.
cold vessel
Right, that makes sense
But then for the singular it would be "mein eigenes Dokument" because "mein" doesn't "properly" mark gender. That part is kinda hard to keep straight
Thanks for all the help with that sentence, guys 😃
pine ginkgo
well it does
if you know the case
(which we do)
if you look at the word itself, sure
but if you look at the sentence, then it's clear
cold vessel
@pine ginkgo Right, but I just mean compared to e.g. the definite article. It's "das eigene Dokument" because "das" "properly" marks gender
At least that's how I've seen it explained. Maybe that's not a good way of thinking about it 🤷
pine ginkgo
eh
i would just look at the case
and not the word
honestly
it's more like inferring the gender
vs stating the gender
if you look at the case
you can always find out the gender
whereas when you look at the articles and similar
you can't always do that
so i would say that's just an exception
i get what you mean anyway
but you are learning a new language
so better learn the rules for it
:)
would definitely be nice if you could just see the gender with any glance
but hey, languages
opal sequoia
It's better to just think of the ein declinations as total exceptions since the rules all work totally consistently for the rest of the adjective/article stuff.

this is a weird thing to say, but I think I'm not a polite enough person for the German language

I've never considered myself to be some sort of raging jerk or anything like that, and I've not really had the impression that others might think of me as one

I was hoping for a translation of it, so I can add more of such words to my databanks
ocean robin
But wait, "his ground plow"
It doesn't sound good
He plows with his plow the ground
better.
pine ginkgo
uh...
ocean robin
🤔

I know I wasn't here before and all, but this is a weird conversation, I must admit.
placid heath
Tja Kryptik. Wir sind eben nur alle Maiglöckchen auf den Flügeln des universellen Frosches. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
ocean robin
LOL
sudden panther
Technically speaking He plows the ground with his plow sounds the best. But I wouldn't translate Feld as ground. Did you just assume the meaning? 😛
pine ginkgo
go finish it, flupflep
ocean robin
Don't tell me it was the only mistake?!
pine ginkgo
not saying a word about it until it's correct
sudden panther
I don't think she'll figure it out on her own. Should we at least point out where the mistake is? 🤔
pine ginkgo
you are allowed to help, arrem
ocean robin
I must go again for 20 mins. Don't count 'em for tranlsating time.
sudden panther
Oke. Flops, while damit can mean hence in certain situations, it's nowhere near hence in this case. 😛

I have to prepare a 5 minutes presentation in German 2 weeks from now
I'll send you guise the slides once they're ready
whole rapids
what is it about?
pine ginkgo
you send us the recording of your presentation
sudden panther
Some examples of damit being used in the same way as here:
Er geht nach Hause, damit er seiner Mutter helfen kann.
Sie isst EichelKäse, damit sie stärker wird.
Solet will mich bannen, damit er endlich in Ruhe memen kann.
viscid cape
I need to pick a theme related to my area of studies, I don't know what yet exactly
@pine ginkgo I would, but nobody will be recording :v
placid heath
Faulenzen ist ein gutes studienrelevantes Thema x)
cold vessel
Aww, did I miss a translation
sudden panther
I think she died.
whole rapids
what is your area of studies?
placid heath
Höhö. Zwei Philosophen stehen an gegenüberliegenden Seiten eines Flusses. Der eine deutet auf eine Brücke und sagt: 'Komm rüber!'. Der andere: 'I Kant!'
opal sequoia
Philosophy. 👌
Why don't you just pick a cool German philosopher and talk about that?
placid heath
I kan't think of german philosophers :(
viscid cape
That's what I'll do
It'll be bad though.
It's always bad when I open my mouth
Today I finished reading one of Philip Dick's short stories in German
Really cool, I loved it
sudden panther
Haha he said Dick.
viscid cape
@whole rapids Probably will have to answer questions, and I don't have a script yet, I was informed yesterday about the presentation
😂
ocean robin
I am bak.
So "damit" is not "hence" in that context.
mmmh
In order that animals can eat quickly? We could just have used "um...zu" then...
whole rapids
you cannot
pine ginkgo
not can you
whole rapids
a detail you probably don't know, but "um ... zu" is for when the subject doesn't change
ocean robin
;w;
whole rapids
along the right lines
pine ginkgo
waht do you mean exactlysfasfa
ocean robin
Well, I try to translate the sentence, maybe it's "that way they can eat quickly"
whole rapids
there is a one word variant for "that way"
pine ginkgo
🤔
ocean robin
I have no idea at all ;w;
pine ginkgo
🤔
ocean robin
🤔
viscid cape
What's the sentence again?
ocean robin
Ein Pferd pflügt mit seinem Pflug das Feld, damit die Tiere flugs essen können.
GE -> EN.
viscid cape
Cool
whole rapids
So, what is your translation currently?
ocean robin
Dat damit though
viscid cape
No idea what flugs is though
whole rapids
nor I until Luna wrote it
ocean robin
A horse plows the field with his plow, hence the animals can eat quickly.
whole rapids
well, you know that "hence" is wrong
viscid cape
so quickly?
whole rapids
so how would you change it?
ocean robin
It's not in order to, nor that...
whole rapids
when you can't use "in order to" in English, what do you use?
whole rapids
that sorta works but also not really
viscid cape
There's a synonym to 'damit' that is very close to the English expression you're looking for
ocean robin
Is it a word or an expression with several words?
whole rapids
word
ocean robin
Hoyl only a word.
viscid cape
I'm thinking of two words 🤔
ocean robin
I was about to say nevertheless
whole rapids
"I am leaving now, in order to get home quickly."
ocean robin
But that can't be it.
whole rapids
what if I wanted to say me and someone else want to get home quickly?
ocean robin
Huh? I didn't understand.
whole rapids
in my sentence, in English, the subject is always me
ocean robin
Yeah?
whole rapids
what if in the next clause, I wanted a different subject
you can't use "in order to", so what else?
viscid cape
He's right, the reason why you can't use damit is that the subject has changed
ocean robin
Mmmh.
That word can't come to my mind, and when I'll see it I'll feel dumb because I maybe know it.
whole rapids
I used it in my previous sentence, except in a different sense
viscid cape
Let me list a few synonyms of damit
Maybe it'll ring a bell
damit, hiermit, hierdurch, sodass, hierbei, dadurch
viscid cape
Look for something that sounds similar to English
whole rapids
or, fill in the missing word:
"I am leaving now, [word] we can get home quickly."
ocean robin
So?
viscid cape
So + ...?
ocean robin
So that way?
whole rapids
no just "so"
whole rapids
"so that" works as well
pine ginkgo
yes you did
ocean robin
Oh, it's another one?
viscid cape
Is my suggestion wrong? 🤔
whole rapids
you did say that
ocean robin
I said that and so that too.
pine ginkgo
yes you did
whole rapids
and one of those doesn't work
viscid cape
In English I don't know what the rules would be, maybe you can only use so that
pine ginkgo
damit works with different subjects
ocean robin
Let talk the native, he seems skeptical.
pine ginkgo
or what are you on about?
mhh
like for sodass and damit, the subjects being the same or different
doesn't matter at all
whole rapids
you meant Finalsätze?
whole rapids
evidence deleted
whole rapids
sowieso, was ist deine Übersetzung jetzt denn, Flaps?
viscid cape
😂
whole rapids
0ps
ocean robin
🤔
pine ginkgo
denn jetzt
ocean robin
A horse plows the field with his plow, so that the animals can eat quickly.
Woah wait.
whole rapids
a hopeful order, no idea if that would work lol
viscid cape
I'll seriously stop trying to explain stuff, I'm just making others more confuse 😂
whole rapids
nah m8
even if you make mistakes 20% of the time, 80% of the time you are providing useful information
whole rapids
so negative
ocean robin
In my case it's uuuuh.
whole rapids
internalise your negativity and fake confidence, like the rest of us
opal sequoia
Don't say a single word unless you're 110% completely certain like you'd bet your life on it that it's correct.
whole rapids
anyway I think your sentence is right now, Flaps, but probably better to wait for the native to confirm
although I'd translate it with "plough" because Britishness, bestness
opal sequoia
Jk. 😄
pine ginkgo
i let base decide
whole rapids
Ein Pferd pflügt mit seinem Pflug das Feld, damit die Tiere flugs essen können.
opal sequoia
Seems fine to me.
whole rapids
well, if we were being picky...
I don't think we call an animal by a male/female gender unless we know its gender
but whatevas
whole rapids
she wrote, "his plow"
pine ginkgo
true
ocean robin
true
pine ginkgo
good pferd
opal sequoia
What would you say for a neuter animal then, Pferd?
whole rapids
yum
ocean robin
"its plow"
opal sequoia
Oh, its in English, I see.
ocean robin
French habit there whoops
pine ginkgo
yeah
opal sequoia
I thought you meant the German.
whole rapids
yeah, I meant the translation
pine ginkgo
i was confused a bit as well :D
opal sequoia
Well, to be fair though, it's normal in English to use his for unknown gender of animals.
As in, either is normal.
whole rapids
I never do that personally.
I don't know how common it is to do it one way or another.
opal sequoia
Both are very common.
sudden panther
So @ocean robin. Some of the following sentences can be converted to the um..zu form. Identify and convert them or we shoot ur dogger.
- Er fährt nach Hause, damit er seine Mutter besucht.
- Er spricht mit seiner Schwester, damit sie wach bleibt.
- Base kocht, damit Arrem essen kann.
- Ich esse Gemüse, damit ich gesund bleibe.
ocean robin
owo
whole rapids
Perhaps similar to how unknown people can be referred to as the singular "they", which I subscribe to
ocean robin
"Base kockt, damit Arrem essen kann" wat okay
sudden panther
No he most certainly doesn't kock.
thick charm
heh
ocean robin
thick charm
kochen != kocken
ocean robin
typo which actually comes back everytime
whole rapids
be nice if it was a word (or is it)?
