Wha? thinking_cat

cold vessel
#

"I show something to someone"

#

someone is then the direct object

ocean robin
#

Mmmh, maybe idk.

cold vessel
#

So it should be dative

#

Right?

#

err

#

I mean indirect

ocean robin
#

I saw what? Something.

#

I saw show what to whom? Somebody.

cold vessel
#

"saw"? 🤔

#

Are you here, @pine ginkgo or @twilit garden

ocean robin
#

Used wrong verb lul

twilit garden
#

totally not

#

how can i help?

cold vessel
#

Should it be "seiner wahren Liebe"?

#

"Arrem kommt nach Wien zurück, bringt mit ihm Blumen, Programmierfähigkeiten und Memes, um seine wahre Liebe zu zeigen."

twilit garden
#

no, it is fine as it is

cold vessel
#

Huh, why?

ocean robin
#

There are 2 errors left that I can't see at all.

twilit garden
#

"I show something to someone"
someone is then the direct object

No, "something" is the direct object

cold vessel
#

@twilit garden I corrected it to "indirect" 3 lines down

ocean robin
#

lol

twilit garden
#

sorry, i didn't see that

#

i think i understand the confusion now

#

if you used "seiner wahren Liebe" there, you needed a direct object

cold vessel
#

Oh, the direct object can't be in the previous clause?

twilit garden
#

"um seine wahre Liebe zu zeigen" just means "to show his true love"

#

"seine wahre Liebe" is the direct object here

cold vessel
#

I see

sudden panther
#

Memes.

ocean robin
#

Wot Arrem.

cold vessel
#

Thanks, Nemoses

pine ginkgo
#

#

arremzamzam

worthy valley
#

@sudden panther where are those memes you promised

cold vessel
#

Is the placement of "mit" correct?

ocean robin
#

NOW TELL ME WHERE ARE THOSE 2 FOKKEN MISTAKES THAT I AM SEARCHING FOR AN HOUR NOW

pine ginkgo
#

🤔

ocean robin
#

And if it's correct then fok mmlol

sudden panther
#

"I show something to someone"
someone is then the direct object
This is the correct reasoning hen. But the wahre Liebe is the something, not the to someone. Hence accusative, instead of dative.

ocean robin
#

Nemo just explained that to him secs ago.

cold vessel
#

Yep, I get it now I think

sudden panther
#

Yeah. Seiner wahren Liebe zeigen would mean that I'm showing sth to my true love, not that I'm showing the love itself.

#

Nemo also explained that your sentence is fine and yet you're still asking about the mistakes. mmlol

#

As for the mit, I wouldn't say it's wrong.

cold vessel
#

Isn't mitbringen a separable verb though?

sudden panther
#

You can also do it at the end though.

#

It is, but we're not dealing with mitbringen here.

ocean robin
#

jesus christ I had a feeling it would get like this

#

guys sometimes you are sadistic

pine ginkgo
#

well

sudden panther
#

Er bringt Blumen mit. => mitbringen
Er bringt Blumen mit ihm. => bringen, and we specified the object afterwards.

pine ginkgo
#

you are also letting it happen, flappsy

ocean robin
#

Yes but I am fokken naive FeelsBadMan

cold vessel
#

Oh, so to push "mit" to the end you would have to remove "ihm"?

sudden panther
#

Yes, yes you are. Which is why we're working on that. We'll stop when I see you say "Fackroff Arrem that's a perfectly fine sentence, you smelly meme".

ocean robin
#

Ah.

sudden panther
#

No, as I said you can still do Er bringt Blumen, Programmierfähigkeiten und Memes mit ihm, but the mit can stay where it is as well, because it's bringen instead of mitbringen.
Without the ihm (Er bringt mit Blumen, Programmierfähigkeiten und Memes), the placement would be wrong and the mit would have to go to the end, because then it would be mitbringen.

#

Also fokkenell Flops, you put two spaces after the comma. 😛

ocean robin
#

That's my thing sometimes. mmlol

cold vessel
#

Oh, I see. Thank you

pine ginkgo
#

actually i did

#

but for some reason

sudden panther
#

Also Flops I really thought that Nemo calling me cruel would give it away. mmlol

pine ginkgo
#

flops also did it

#

however it happened

ocean robin
#

did wat

sudden panther
#

She copies the sentence and translates word for word. mmlol

pine ginkgo
#

(i hope not)

ocean robin
#

of course mmlol

#

no

orchid kernel
#

ich nie kopiere den satz und uebersetzte wort fuer wort

ocean robin
#

*Ich kopiere nie (i am sorry I had to)

pine ginkgo
#

well

#

then find the other mistakes too

#

if you are correcting someone else

ocean robin
#

owo

#

Sure thing thinking_cat

#

I actually would say "Ich kopiere nie den Satz und übersetze Wort für Wort" capitalizing

cold vessel
#

@ocean robin Type "word for word" into dict.cc

ocean robin
#

jesus

cold vessel
#

Oh wait, maybe that does work 🤔

ocean robin
#

Is this a set expression?

cold vessel
#

Actually I think what you wrote was fine

ocean robin
pine ginkgo
#

(don't listen to him)

ocean robin
#

Let the native speak first, maybe it's not 🤔

quasi merlin
#

"Wort für Wort" is fine.

ocean robin
#

solet lmao

cold vessel
#

@ocean robin I got confused because the entries for "to translate word by word" and "word for word" are different

ocean robin
#

AH

#

See we have Mika's approval. Yay.

cold vessel
#

The words it suggests for "word for word" seem to be synonyms of "literal"

ocean robin
#

well, kinda when you think about it

quasi merlin
#

wortwörtlich?

cold vessel
#

Yes, and "wortgetreu"

orchid kernel
#

are wortgetreu and wortwoertlich synonyms for the most part??

#

i've never heard the former

#

but also my vocabulary is the size of a 2 oz cup of disgusting "queso" you get at Chipotle

ocean robin
#

Alright guys now I'll sleep. See you all tommorow. waevoli

orchid kernel
#

good night!

pine ginkgo
#

flappsy will never translate anything

#

:(

ocean robin

orchid kernel
#

ich moechte sport mit freunden treiben aber sie sind alle faul und wollen es nicht

cunning sun

Ich lerne seit etwa 3 Jahren, aber nicht allzu intensiv

cunning sun

Und ja ich sollte es allein probieren aber da fehlt die Motivation

#

Ich komme aus Kalifornien, USA

#

cunning sun
#

Ich komme aus Serbien

orchid kernel
#

Ooh interessant

cunning sun
#

manchmal trainiere ich aber immer allein weil meine Freunde sich nicht für Sport interessieren

orchid kernel
#

=(

#

Ich habe einen Freund, der sich fuer Sport interessiert (und Sport sehr oft und gerne macht) aber er ist so ausgelastet

#

wir haben kaum Zeit uns zu treffen

ocean robin
#

Yeah better.

opal sequoia

It somewhat lags my discord so fast messages. 😄

ocean robin
#

Yeah, same. 👀

ocean robin
#

So 2 fokken typos and no nicht. Was that to train kein now. Wooo.

quasi merlin
#

The verb is "trinken" with a t and "Karotten" is spelt like I just did.

ocean robin
#

Wow how did I spell it.

sudden panther
#

Sie isst Karroten oder drinkt Milch nicht.
Like that. 😛

quasi merlin
#

"Karroten" and "drinkt"

ocean robin
#

Wow drinkt lmao wtf

quasi merlin
#

Now a sentence using "kein"

ocean robin
#

Yeah. 🤔

hot cloak
#

ocean robin
#

"Er konnte keine Karotten essen oder trinkt keine Milch." official now that typo with trinken is always here. What. thinking_cat

opal sequoia
sudden panther
#

He couldn't eat carrots? Why? Was he allergic? 😛

ocean robin
#

Yes of course.

pine ginkgo
#

typical flappsy again

hot cloak
#

you usually don't use "oder" for joined conditions with the same negation

ocean robin
#

Solet strikes again

#

WAIT WHAT.

hot cloak
#

use "und auch keine.."

ocean robin
#

wooot ;u;

sudden panther
#

Yeah, you know what uncle De Morgan said.

opal sequoia
#

The sentence was actually "She doesn't eat carrots or drink milk."

ocean robin
#

AH.

#

don't be too harsh plox FeelsBadMan

opal sequoia
#

What, Saggy?

ocean robin
#

Yeah, and? That's what I wrote. thinking_cat

#

🤔 i

ocean robin
#

Wot.

opal sequoia
#

No. The original sentence is the one I wrote.

ocean robin
opal sequoia
#

She's trying to translate the sentence I just wrote, in other words.

ocean robin
opal sequoia
#

I was reminding her that she got some of the words mixed up between corrections.

pine ginkgo
#

emphasis on trying

ocean robin
#

LOL

#

So where were we?

sudden panther
#

I mean, the or is fine in English because you really only have one negation. But you can't keep it when translating.

#

You tell us Flops.

quasi merlin
#

You can't keep the "or"?

#

Oh

#

I see

Wow Flops, Solet is faster than you. 😮

ocean robin
#

Wasn't that a fact? FeelsBadMan

sudden panther
#

Yea, but we've just confirmed it now.

pine ginkgo
#

i'm not always faster :o

ocean robin
#

Also fok I am doing the dishes.

pine ginkgo
#

i think we need to reduce the number of words of a sentence to three

sudden panther
#

"I am Flops"

ocean robin
#

LOL

#

But that would mean that I am A1 FeelsBadMan

pine ginkgo
#

only if you can translate it correctly

sudden panther
#

We can bump it yup to four to make you feel better.
"Yes, I am Flops"

ocean robin

I proclaim with certainty, that, yes, indeed, I am the true born Flops, without any fail.

Keeping in mind that und isn't a subordinating conjunction.

#

any question

#

just make sure

#

you know what you are talking about

#

so ask questions to be sure

#

or find new things out

ocean robin
#

Sure thing. 🤔

#

So I think I might have found the mistake

#

might

#

And don't tell me there are several mmlol

pine ginkgo
#

depends on how many you will add in the next attempt

ocean robin

oh my god

sudden panther
ocean robin
#

HELL NO I DON'T

#

Arrem wow.

#

Trinkt and auch? thinking_cat

#

WOOO

opal sequoia
#

Hm, do you know why though, Flappy?

ocean robin
#

"Sie isst keine Karotten und trinkt auch keine Milch." YES BASE. VERB AT 2ND POSITION. ALWAYS.

#

Well not always.

#

NOT IN SUBORDINATING CASES

pine ginkgo
#

A L M O S T A L W A Y S

sudden panther
#

ANDQUESTIONSANDIMPERATIVES

ocean robin
#

AND AFTER A COMMA ALWAYS VERB AFTER IT

#

AHHHH

sudden panther
#

No. Bad Flops. That's wrong.

ocean robin
#

😦

#

I was so hyped.

opal sequoia
#

Mm, can you give us an example of a verb after a comma, Flappy?

ocean robin
#

🤔

pine ginkgo
#

me too

ocean robin
#

denke ich nicht

#

^

pine ginkgo
#

wow saggy

#

harter stoff

sudden panther
#

Sie stirbt, wenn sie zu viel Wasser trinkt.

ocean robin
#

And what does that mean.

sudden panther
#

Where's your verb now, Flops. mmlol

ocean robin
#

But you used a subordinating case Arrememe.

#

🤔

sudden panther
#

So did Saggy.

ocean robin
#

BUT DIDN'T I DAY THAT WHEN IT'S SUBORDINATING ALWAYS VERB AT THE END

sudden panther
#

What you're referring to is the Haupt- and Nebensatz inversion, but your reasoning is wrong. 😛

ocean robin
#

fiuuuii

#

Wait what.

sudden panther
#

My sentence is what happens when you place the main clause first and then the subordinate clause. Which is what you usually do.
Sie stirbt, wenn sie zu viel Wasser trinkt.

Saggy's sentence is what happens when you put the subordinate clause first and then the main clause.
Wenn sie zu viel Wasser trinkt, stirbt sie.

In that case, when you put your main clause second, you move the verb to the first place. That's the reasoning, not the fact that there's a comma before it. 😉

ocean robin
#

Lol I got tricked. FeelsBadMan

opal sequoia
#

Well it's basically the "verb in second position" rule, but the first position is the entire subordinate clause.

ocean robin
sudden panther
#

So Base, give us another one. 😛

#

Bonus points if it has a conjunction. And some memey cases.

opal sequoia
#

Ooh.

pine ginkgo
#

Base's base was based on basic base basics.

ocean robin
#

is thinking about genitive

#

GOD SOLET

sudden panther
#

on Base's basic base basics. mmlol

ocean robin
#

I don't want to do that. Last time with the Chuck I was lost.

pine ginkgo
#

you can edit my message, arrem mmlol

sudden panther
#

Unfortunately not. Otherwise I'd make a bot that changes them all to "ban luna" 😦

ocean robin
#

😦

#

Ban Arrem.

opal sequoia
#

She doesn't want to walk to work today because she'd much rather drive, but her car won't start.

Yes, or anspringen

BUT I CHOSE THIS ONE FIRST GODDAMN.

#

cries and collapses

hot cloak
#

I'd say anspringen I think

ocean robin
#

Arrem the worst is that I didn't look to your translation at first mmlol

opal sequoia
#

Flappy. Think about how you can break down the sentence to make it easier for yourself to write.

hot cloak

#

i cant stop ahahahhaa

ocean robin
#

look I have the talent to make Solet laugh mmlol

opal sequoia
#

Yes, that you have, certainly.

That wasn't the purpose though.

Imagine what a sad day it will be when your German is too good to entertain luna

So. Das Auto. Accusative. Ihr + acc = ihr. 🤔

#

Yeah. 😦

sudden panther

Gut gememed.

ocean robin

So "ihr Auto"? It wasn't that difficult. #flopsbeingflops

What gender is "Auto", flappy?

ocean robin

Das? thinking_cat

Don't tell me it's die.

#

DW Flops, we still lov yer. ❤

ocean robin
#

sudden panther
#

Also yes, break the sentence up into clauses and translate it part by part.

opal sequoia
#

Yep. Don't feel bad about your overall German progress, okay. It's your approach to the problem that's causing most issues.

cold vessel
#

She doesn't want to walk to work today because she'd much rather drive, but her car won't start.

Sie will nicht zu Arbeit heute spazieren gehen, weil sie viel lieber fahren wurde, aber ihr Auto wird nicht beginnen.

#

(for reference)

ocean robin
#

yus thankies

#

So let's start witht the 1st clause

#

mmmh, "to walk" I forgot a zu?

sudden panther
#

What are the verbs in the first clause?

ocean robin
#

"Doesn't want";"to walk" and to work isn't the verb right here. Wait shiet.

#

We say at work?

#

Or wait, she's going to work. So no. It's a noun.

sudden panther
#

Wot.

ocean robin
#

Yes I am confused again. mmlol

sudden panther
#

i don't follow. There are 2 verbs. Identify them and just them, nothing else.

ocean robin
#

Yes I said "doesn't want" and "to walk".

#

There.

sudden panther
#

Good. Except the doesn't isn't a part of the verb. to want and to walk. 😉

#

So, could one of those possibly be a modal?

ocean robin
#

Yeah righto.

#

Well the modal is to want. 👀

sudden panther
#

Righto. So that should answer "mmmh, "to walk" I forgot a zu?"

ocean robin
#

I think thinking_cat

sudden panther
#

Good. So, things to consider

  1. Word order
  2. For the love of memes, use "go on foot" instead of "walk" so you don't get "spazieren gehen"
ocean robin
#

i was writing to go on foot first ;u;

shy bobcat
#

spazieren gehen
"to go for a walk" 😄

ocean robin
#

and then i was "oh spazieren gehen"

cold vessel
#

"spazieren gehen" is pretty far down when you search "to walk"

sudden panther
#

I told you not to look at my translation. mmlol

ocean robin
#

But I didn't!

shy bobcat
#

@sudden panther >when you replace "God" with "memes" 😩

sudden panther
#

Arizona might quite enjoy it though.

ocean robin
#

He already banned Jesus.

shy bobcat
#

what translation 👀

sudden panther
#

She doesn't want to walk to work today because she'd much rather drive, but her car won't start.
Sie tut nicht wollen zu spazieren gehen zu Arbeit heute weil sie würde viel eher fahren, aber ihre Auto wird nicht beginnen.
The art of German.

Nicht is the new genitive.

Base's base was based on Base's basic base basics.
Bases Basis wurde auf Bases basischen Basegrundlagen basiert.

I have no idea what "base basics" is supposed to mean 😂

ocean robin
#

after the genitiv, the nicht

#

WTF ARIZONA

#

Wurde + past participle is a thing now? okay

shy bobcat
#

yeah, it's the past passive

ocean robin
#

wot.

quasi merlin
#

Yes, it's passive. But I think "basieren" already means "to be based on".

ocean robin
#

Oh, "was based"

shy bobcat
#

🤔

#

so "Bases Basis basiert auf....."?

quasi merlin

Past

shy bobcat

"basierte" is fine

I'd prefer Präteritum for "basieren".

Where is our corrected first clause, Fläppers?

Anyway my phone is dying right now and I am supposed to sleep.

@quasi merlin I still have no idea if the words Grundlage and Basis and Base were right thinking_cat

Not a mistake per se, but I'd write Französisch Polynesien as two words instead of one.

shy bobcat

not französisches Polynesien?

it's a proper noun
