[craggy nebula]

a hobbyist

[viscid cape]

I haven't learnt any 20th century physics in high school

[craggy nebula]

and a high-schooler

[opal sequoia]

So far as I've learned quantum physics, it hasn't been very difficult.

Compared to other physics.

[toxic urchin]

Is being a hobbyist a hobby?

[craggy nebula]

is being a black-hole, black?

[opal sequoia]

[placid heath]

Nein, aber ein schwarzes Loch zu sein ist echt schwer (Grillen zirpen)

[craggy nebula]

basementality. basement. semen.

[opal sequoia]

[whole rapids]

I know the hardest language to understand

[opal sequoia]

What are you thinking about me now?

[whole rapids]

the human heart

[placid heath]

Bayrisch?

[opal sequoia]

My heart speaks Arabic.

[toxic urchin]

The human fart indeed is hard to understand

[placid heath]

My heart speaks 'Need more food, now'

brb, gonna fetch something to eat

[viscid cape]

Lol

[craggy nebula]

"in a coherently meaningless world"

hey guys. since you've discovered many cultures through many languages, 2 at least

[whole rapids]

what

[craggy nebula]

do you enjoy life with a coherent purpose?

[whole rapids]

what

[opal sequoia]

Hmm.

[toxic urchin]

Watt

[craggy nebula]

like do you find a meaning in your life?

[opal sequoia]

Yes.

[toxic urchin]

Nope

[whole rapids]

kinda have to

[craggy nebula]

Nope

[whole rapids]

otherwise depression will return

[toxic urchin]

Sometimes i just want to set the whole world on fire

[opal sequoia]

Poor Pferd.

[craggy nebula]

XD

Well, I'm sure about something

life is utterly meaningless

[opal sequoia]

The meaning of my life today is hunger, exhaustion and insomnia.

[craggy nebula]

even if there is a god, why tf would he need you in his cosmos?

[opal sequoia]

I'm studying existentialism this semester. 😏

[craggy nebula]

it's a shitty subject. totally useless, it will leave you depressed for some time XD

[opal sequoia]

Contemplating all what means it to be a being.

[whole rapids]

depends on your point of view

[sudden panther]

y tho

[toxic urchin]

What if we are bots in a simulation

[opal sequoia]

What will leave you depressed?

[whole rapids]

The "meaningless" of existence isn't depressing per se

[craggy nebula]

Logically and consistently, and incompassionately, if you think about it, there is not an absolute reason to be existent

[whole rapids]

I am sure there are some philosophical ideas that would disagree with that

[craggy nebula]

yeah, compassionately only

but in the lens of logic, no

[opal sequoia]

The philosophy of the young and aimless. 👌

[craggy nebula]

It's better to be drunk and feel hazy, than to think about your existentialism

[toxic urchin]

I wonder what would happen if we made a chain of super massive blackholes

[whole rapids]

they'd eat each other

[opal sequoia]

@viscid cape What do you think?

[whole rapids]

om nom nom

[viscid cape]

About what? 🤔

[whole rapids]

what happens when a black hole enters another black hole?

[craggy nebula]

@whole rapids no exactly. It depends on the direction of the rotation of the blackhole, its size, and position

[toxic urchin]

They make a baby blackhole

[opal sequoia]

This philosophical discussion what we're having.

[whole rapids]

I am being a bit facetious Cookiemonster

although the thought is an interesting one, now that I do consider it

[viscid cape]

@opal sequoia I kinda missed it 😂

[opal sequoia]

Tragic.

[viscid cape]

You mean whether there is a meaning

[whole rapids]

@viscid cape WHY IS LIFE SO MEANINGLESS

[craggy nebula]

but essentially, if two blacks holes of the same size collided, then you'd have gravitational waves spreading through the fabric of the universe, and A LOT OF ENERGY

it'd be awesome to simulate such thing in a computer or something and watch it ... interesting

[placid heath]

@craggy nebula, i created the simulation

[whole rapids]

mm, that is clear, perhaps I should be more precise. What would happen to the two black holes when they collide? Do they form a larger black hole that has both of their masses or do they equally siphon off mass to each other or another such method?

[pine ginkgo]

i am amazed

[whole rapids]

simulation is bugged

[craggy nebula]

they disappear, both

[whole rapids]

not dark enough

[quasi merlin]

They form a larger black hole.

[craggy nebula]

not really @quasi merlin

[quasi merlin]

Yes, really

[craggy nebula]

basing on what source?

[opal sequoia]

Real physics is experimental physics.

Test it.

[toxic urchin]

I have a phd in blackholes

[opal sequoia]

What can you tell us, crab?

[whole rapids]

what kind of black holes tho huh

[pine ginkgo]

is it the

S I N G U L A R I T Y

[craggy nebula]

well, it'd be kinda awesome to have gay-flag-like blackholes XD

[whole rapids]

weird way of saying "rainbow"

[opal sequoia]

[craggy nebula]

yesh.

[toxic urchin]

When two blackholes collide they suck each other up and disappear

[craggy nebula]

well in the past gay was the word for colorful, I wanted to use it, but thought it'd be offensive

[toxic urchin]

Trust me i know my blackholes better than anyone

[whole rapids]

it didn't mean "colourful" in the sense of actual colours

[craggy nebula]

then what did it mean?

[waxen dagger]

gay was the word for happy iirc

[twilit garden]

i have been summoned?

[waxen dagger]

cheerful

[gray charm]

@craggy nebula btw a friend of mine had an interesting idea why existence might actually be logically necessary based on Entropy

[whole rapids]

https://i.gyazo.com/ab2ca7c0bda79abd3256638a7087112a.png

[placid heath]

Auf deutsch war früher geil ein Wort für fröhlich. Wir haben hier ein Restaurant: Zur geilen Nonne

[lunar urchin]

since when is colorful offensive 😄

[craggy nebula]

german sounds superior to english in some senses

[opal sequoia]

Does it?

[craggy nebula]

@lunar urchin ever since humans were offended by anything

[quasi merlin]

https://phys.org/news/2016-10-black-holes-collide.html

[lunar urchin]

old man yells at cloud

[craggy nebula]

reading

[quasi merlin]

tl;dr: »And if you mash two black holes together, you just get a more massive black hole.«

[whole rapids]

oh cool, I just did a cursory glance at google, didn't see they've actually observed it already

[craggy nebula]

@quasi merlin there's a bit I don't understand. From where does the energy of gravitational waves come, if they just form a bigger one

[placid heath]

gravitational potential energy maybe

idk, I'm just a noob

[whole rapids]

probs need to look into relativity to properly understand

[twilit garden]

it is not the forming that creates the gravitational waves - everything causes gravitational waves, the force is just very weak and we are only able to measure it when something very heavy collides with something that is very heavy too

[craggy nebula]

It's a bit like combining two juices, and they form a bigger can of juice, but they leave some juice-wave spreading through the universe, or your living-hall

[toxic urchin]

Did you know there are more trees on earth than there are stars in our galaxy

[whole rapids]

I don't believe you

[placid heath]

On an absolute scale, I'm absolutely sure I understand relativity relatively well.

[whole rapids]

I would believe you if you said grains of sand

[placid heath]

[citation needed]

[twilit garden]

if we applied the juice-model to reality, every kind of juice would leave a juice-spreading force through the universe, but unless some very big tanks of juice were combined, we would not be able to measure it

[whole rapids]

oh wait in our galaxy

[nocturne spruce]

I see Arabic was mentioned

[toxic urchin]

Yea not the whole universe

[nocturne spruce]

It's unfortunate that I missed out

[placid heath]

hala ana almani

[craggy nebula]

well, we don't even know how big is the cosmos, we just know the observable universe

[pine ginkgo]

\citep{lordkorea et al, 2017}

[cold vessel]

Apparently there are 3 trillion trees on earth 😮

[pine ginkgo]

🤔

[placid heath]

>latex

[opal sequoia]

Did you know there's more cities on earth than stars in our solar system?

[viscid cape]

@nocturne spruce Enlighten us about arabic being quantum mechanics embedded in mathematics

[whole rapids]

we were saying how easy Arabic is to learn

[pine ginkgo]

oh

nice

it werks

[nocturne spruce]

I never said Arabic is hard to study though

I simply said that it is as intuitive as math

[craggy nebula]

as a native-arabic speaker, who studies arabic in school

I would say it's hard

[twilit garden]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw7U3BYMs4U

[whole rapids]

I never said that I said that you said that

oh then gg my life, maths may as well be magic to me

[nocturne spruce]

I'm directing that towards Kryp

Arabic is complex for sure, but it's very intuitive

[viscid cape]

I'm just teasing

[craggy nebula]

not intuitive to me at all

[nocturne spruce]

Where are you from?

[craggy nebula]

how much arabic did you speak @nocturne spruce

or do you, rn

[nocturne spruce]

I'm native :p

[viscid cape]

@opal sequoia Sorry to disappoint you, I don't have anything very interesting to say about the meaning of life 😦 That goes way beyond my calibre lol

[pine ginkgo]

what about anything interesting to say about your life, krypti

[opal sequoia]

That's okay, I was just teasing about the topic.

[viscid cape]

My life has no achievements or interesting prospects

[toxic urchin]

It sucks

[whole rapids]

I know the meaning of life

[nocturne spruce]

and I'm still in an Arab country so I speak Arabic more than any other language @craggy nebula

[whole rapids]

but it's a secret

[pine ginkgo]

when ya gonna go to switzerland, pengu?

[nocturne spruce]

I missed the semester

[pine ginkgo]

oh

[nocturne spruce]

Because the Visa didn't come out

[pine ginkgo]

summer then?

[nocturne spruce]

Just finished reapplying

[pine ginkgo]

or is it only winter

[toxic urchin]

Do you say merhaba in arabic too or turkish only?

[nocturne spruce]

There is in summer (Thank the lord)

[pine ginkgo]

nice

what you gonna do for this semester?
:D

[nocturne spruce]

Still trying to figure that part out

[craggy nebula]

well IDK. I have always found arabic hard

even latin was more intuitive to me than arabic

[pine ginkgo]

so you have to get a visa again later?

[nocturne spruce]

Nah, it's still in processing

[pine ginkgo]

since your application kinda went awry

[twilit garden]

LINGUAM LATINAM DICIMUSNE?

[pine ginkgo]

maybe just go there earlier to get a flat or something

[nocturne spruce]

They just asked for another statement from the University

I'm planning to go over there as soon as I can tbh

I have to figure out the European life as a whole

[opal sequoia]

To be quite serious though, I don't quite understand the question of the meaning of life. It seems self evident.

[pine ginkgo]

don't forget

no ß

[craggy nebula]

well I don't speak it, or write it, but I do understand a bit

[nocturne spruce]

wut?

Btw C00kiie, you didn't answer, where are you from?

[toxic urchin]

So youre not a native?

[craggy nebula]

Iraq

[pine ginkgo]

in preparation for your swiss life

if i see an ß from you pengu

[nocturne spruce]

Oh, basically a neighbour

[pine ginkgo]

you gonna get banned

[nocturne spruce]

As you wish

Never knew that was a thing

[twilit garden]

Iraqon you're gonna have a good time

[nocturne spruce]

I'm still extremely worried about swiss german tbh

[pine ginkgo]

you don't wanna out yourself as a noob in switterland

when you write ß in your exams!

[nocturne spruce]

The 10 days there, gave me quite the shock

[pine ginkgo]

it's the swiss

you have to get used to them

:D

[craggy nebula]

well.. what kind of english-accent you @all have?

[lunar urchin]

all of them

[twilit garden]

a German-British one

[nocturne spruce]

I honestly don't know how much of an accent I have

[lunar urchin]

not necessarily at once tho

[pine ginkgo]

do the daniel challenge

:D

[nocturne spruce]

Zwitschi sounds halfway between German and Italian for me, but I'm horrible at distinguishing accents

[lunar urchin]

and you will get the hang on the swiss german as well

[craggy nebula]

I speak american-english

[pine ginkgo]

i mean yeah

[craggy nebula]

Thanks to my gf.

[nocturne spruce]

I never heard Luna speaking English before

[pine ginkgo]

just listen to zwitschi a bit

[opal sequoia]

I have Australian.

[pine ginkgo]

helps easing into swiss a bit

[craggy nebula]

german-guy speaking english to me: I ZPEEK INGLEZ

[lunar urchin]

we'll meet anyway, inshallah

[nocturne spruce]

Inshallah 😄

[twilit garden]

I speek Inglisch

[pine ginkgo]

i speek ingland

[nocturne spruce]

Did you know that "Inshallah" is actually three words?

[toxic urchin]

Ich bin anna

[twilit garden]

Zäts vhat i häf bin taaking abaut

[lunar urchin]

yes, i do know that

[twilit garden]

I always recognised the -allah-part

but i didn't know what the rest was there for

[nocturne spruce]

It means "If god wills it"

[lunar urchin]

the sh is one word on it's own iirc

[toxic urchin]

Mashallah

[lunar urchin]

well, a part

[nocturne spruce]

The idea is that you can't guarantee that something will happen, so you plan on doing it then you say Inshallah

Nowadays though, Arabs use it as a way to bail on things

[toxic urchin]

Not just arabs man

Its the same here

[nocturne spruce]

Oh

[lunar urchin]

see it as part of the international cultural exchange

[nocturne spruce]

BTW, to answer your question, we say Marhaba in contrast to Merhaba

[proven cedar]

what language is that then

[nocturne spruce]

My German teacher started associating people saying Inshallah to them meaning that it won't happen

She was awesome, but sadly she couldn't handle Jordan 😦

[viscid cape]

WHY NOT

ops caps

[nocturne spruce]

Because she realised that Berlin was better than Amman

And eventually, she missed Berlin too much

[viscid cape]

Ah okay

It's not easy to change countries

[nocturne spruce]

She came to learn Arabic

[toxic urchin]

Just use a vpn

P easy

[pine ginkgo]

if you came to vienna

you could meet up with arrem

and kill him for us

[nocturne spruce]

and she was adorable when she spoke it

Didn't we agree to meet up in Vienna in 2018

[pine ginkgo]

no

well

[nocturne spruce]

Set the Arrem sacrifice then

[pine ginkgo]

if you pay

yes

[nocturne spruce]

He said, he's housing us

And covering everything

[toxic urchin]

Hes going to kill you all

[viscid cape]

@nocturne spruce She probably left because you were flirting with her

😏

[nocturne spruce]

Lol

The guys at the language center probably gave it a shot

[viscid cape]

Lul creepos

Guys gere are like that as well

[craggy nebula]

what would happen if you said HEIL MEIN FUHRER HITLER in germany?

[nocturne spruce]

Somewhere around being jailed

[toxic urchin]

We stab you

[nocturne spruce]

Saying it here might get you a warning

regardless of the context

Good job, you summoned Nemo

[twilit garden]

You would get punched in the face and banned from this server @craggy nebula

[nocturne spruce]

See

[sudden panther]

This http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-40842853

[twilit garden]

^

[nocturne spruce]

Never summon Nemo

[craggy nebula]

well I'm sorry

[twilit garden]

^ seriously a bad idea

[craggy nebula]

But I want to ask a german person for that

Like I know it's a bad idea

but how bad

[twilit garden]

it is illegal, that's how bad

[craggy nebula]

wow

[toxic urchin]

Bad enough to land you in jail for 3 years

[craggy nebula]

wow..

Well, not THAT surprised. Hitler did a lot of worst acts

and destroyed Germany

[nocturne spruce]

Wonder if there are similar things for other horrible acts

Like mentioning Sadam or Stalin

[craggy nebula]

I'm still wondering about how germany rebuilt itself in no time :/ ?

[nocturne spruce]

or something

[craggy nebula]

Well here sadam is somewhat okay to mention

[lunar urchin]

not itself, and not in no time

[craggy nebula]

but not praise

[toxic urchin]

I know people who supported osama

[nocturne spruce]

I'm aware of that, I just wanted a figure to compare to

It isn't rare to find Osama supporters

[toxic urchin]

And isis

[nocturne spruce]

I saw people celebrating the hurricanes because "Americans deserve it"

So...................

[craggy nebula]

UGH. ISIS is basically american weapons + arabic people from other arabic countries

Yeah

Sadly, I've seen that as well

[toxic urchin]

Not just arabic countries

[twilit garden]

I really liked the language topic, how about we change it back to that

[nocturne spruce]

Sure thing

I've been meaning to ask you something about that

Last time I pitched teaching you Arabic, you said that you had two languages, which you were ignoring/not giving enough attention

What are those two languages?

[twilit garden]

French and Swedish

[nocturne spruce]

Oh

I guessed right 😄

[twilit garden]

I'm A2/B1 with both of them

[nocturne spruce]

Ahh, nice

[twilit garden]

A bit better in Swedish, i guess, but it is closer to German and English anyways

[nocturne spruce]

I remembered Sustained saying that your Swedish pronounciation is fantastic

[twilit garden]

idk

[nocturne spruce]

And you posted your High school diploma or something here

[twilit garden]

what

[nocturne spruce]

Which had french on it if I recall correctly

[twilit garden]

nah

i had Latin

[nocturne spruce]

Oh

[placid heath]

Situs vilate inis et abernit

[twilit garden]

I have a B2/C1 diploma in English

but i am past that i think

[nocturne spruce]

You're probably C2 by now right

You seem like you are

[twilit garden]

Somewhere on my way two C2 - it's hard to find resources for that ^^

Other than just listen and consume a lot of media

[nocturne spruce]

That's how it went for me, I honestly didn't know I was C2 until I had to sit for an IELTS test

[placid heath]

on my way two C2

:P

[nocturne spruce]

on his way 2 Cto

[twilit garden]

hey, i am drunk, you don't need to correct me now ^^

[placid heath]

ö

[nocturne spruce]

I still want to know what it's like to be drunk

[twilit garden]

huh

[nocturne spruce]

Like, I don't want to drink, just wanna know how it is

[twilit garden]

Strange thought for me as someone from central europe

[placid heath]

Ninja, stay awake for 2 consecutive days :D

[nocturne spruce]

Isn't that a Hangover?

Like strong headaches and feeling sluggish

[toxic urchin]

You dint need alcohol to get drunk

Dont

[nocturne spruce]

Oh

What do you need

[toxic urchin]

Placebo can make you drunk too

[twilit garden]

Idk, getting drunk usually involves being sociable, so you have fun with friends until you start feeling numb, don't think clearly anymore and don't have that much control over your whole body anymore

[nocturne spruce]

Fair enough

[twilit garden]

usually, it makes you more sociable though

[nocturne spruce]

It's a tough question, but the whole concept is interesting

Especially because I'm almost certain I won't personally experience it

[twilit garden]

yeah, for me that is never the goal, it is just something that happens on the way and that marks a point for you to go home

getting drunk is usually more fun than being drunk

[nocturne spruce]

The journey is the reward here, not the end goal

😄

[twilit garden]

because when you are drunk, your body starts feeling the missing nutrients and you get really thirsty and often hungry

[nocturne spruce]

That makes sense

[twilit garden]

so yeah, being drunk is not really that much fun - the drinking culture around that changes a lot from country to country

[nocturne spruce]

Almost akin to fasting

[twilit garden]

that is something that i have never done for example

[nocturne spruce]

It is one of those things that sound way harder than they are

The concept of not eating or drinking anything for 15 hours

Is very hard to accept for some people, but I started fasting when I was 9

[sudden panther]

Placebo can make you drunk too
Correct. Just fill a glass with water and write "alcohol" on it.

[nocturne spruce]

Then the opposite must work as well

[twilit garden]

i watched a video on fasting a few days ago (several-day long fasting that is) and it was very interesting to follow the insuline levels over the days for example

[nocturne spruce]

Just write Apple Juice on Beer once you start feeling tipsy

I never saw anything about that, do you have a link?

[twilit garden]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APZCfmgzoS0

[nocturne spruce]

Thanks

[sudden panther]

Several-day long fasting is basically a hunger strike though.

[nocturne spruce]

How do hunger strikes work?

Do you just completely stop eating

[twilit garden]

yes

at some point, officials have to turn in and force-feed you unless they want to accept that they are letting you die

[sudden panther]

At least when people are looking. 😛

[toxic urchin]

Why would you go on a hunger strike?

[twilit garden]

to fight officials

you put them into the position of having to care about you

they will have to try to keep you alive or be the ones who let you die

[opal sequoia]

It can send the message "This issue is so serious that I'm willing to risk my health for it."

[valid ice]

being drunk is not that fun

i smashed at just dance 4 on the wii last night

[fair iron]

🔥 👌

[pine ginkgo]

you didn't invite me 😦

[valid ice]

sorry solet not my party 💔

[ocean robin]

Callum why don't you invite everyone here to play Just Dance 4

[cold vessel]

q.q

[valid ice]

tell yous what, come to my house anytime and we can drink with Just Dance

[ocean robin]

hell no I am not gonna drink uwu

[valid ice]

🤔 lies

[fair iron]

I, however, will.

[valid ice]

🤔 i think there may be a plan to go to the germany next year for gamescom, happy to meet up for jd and jd ^^

[ocean robin]

Yeah greato, while I wouldn't come because I can't yet quq

[fair iron]

I, however, could.

[pine ginkgo]

thus spoke casca

[fair iron]

Written in stone.

[valid ice]

and so spoke thusly

[fair iron]

Let the record show this accordingly.

[valid ice]

Let the ledger notes of this online gathering show the following information as such.

[fair iron]

It be noted.

[valid ice]

As in it often notes or it’s in the process of noting?

[fair iron]

Whichever suits your fancy, Callum.

Then we are in agreement.

[valid ice]

I think we can work out a deal here Casca - we should employ usage of code-switching and code words

We shall swap the words thusly and and now

For it shall thoroughly bamboozle the polis

[pine ginkgo]

let the information be known forever in the akashic records

[valid ice]

Sayst Solet, scheming.

[pine ginkgo]

the grand librarian has recorded it in the eternal archives

[fair iron]

Our word shan't leave this circle.

[sudden panther]

So Floppo,

Next guess?

[full falcon]

prokrastinieren sounds like a safe guess

[ocean robin]

let's just choose the first one

[sudden panther]

It would if she was looking for the right word. You can't procrastinate something. She's actually looking for put off.

Okay let's choose the first one. Is it transitive?

[ocean robin]

Lemme check 👀

yes it is 🎉

[full falcon]

oh

[sudden panther]

Ayyy.

[ocean robin]

so let's just put that instead of "zögern"

[sudden panther]

You tell me. 😛

[ocean robin]

but I have a problem with that "auf" first 🤔

[sudden panther]

Und zwar?

[ocean robin]

Well, haven't the slightest idea of where I could put it, because it's a subordinationg case

[sudden panther]

What do we do with prefixes in subordinated clauses?

[pine ginkgo]

she knows

but forgot

🤔

[ocean robin]

I don't want to say just "aufschiebe" although I have the feeling it's righto

[sudden panther]

Up to you Flops. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ocean robin]

I want to say that, but it seems that I am just drowing into the water since I am not 100% sure

[pine ginkgo]

flappy

less overthinking

more doing

[ocean robin]

okay

[pine ginkgo]

if you never say anything

you will never know if what you think is correct or not

but if you just say something, you will find out

[ocean robin]

"Ich bin Fläppers und ich brauche 3 Tage, um einen Satz zu übersetzen, weil ich immer es aufschiebe." Also Solet this is one of the rare times that you called me Flappy.

[pine ginkgo]

i am sorry

okay, arrem

do the next step

[ocean robin]

Nah, it's okay.

[sudden panther]

Is there any good grammatical explanation for the next step? 🤔 I can't think of anything other than "it's wrong you silly flopper".

[ocean robin]

lol

[sudden panther]

Could you rethink the word order in your last clause, Flops?

[ocean robin]

no idea except swapping the "immer" and the "es"

[sudden panther]

Yes, let's try that.

[ocean robin]

"Ich bin Fläppers und ich brauche 3 Tage, um einen Satz zu übersetzen, weil ich es immer aufschiebe."

[sudden panther]

Yes. Although, as said, I have no idea why. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ocean robin]

Ah.

Is there a little native over here to explain?

[quasi merlin]

Although, as said, I have no idea why.

Arrem = Native, confirmed

Hi Fläppers.

[ocean robin]

Hi Mika!

[quasi merlin]

I'm a native and I have no idea why.

[ocean robin]

Ah.

[pine ginkgo]

fuck

i was about to say

miku knows shit

but turns out, we all know shit

[ocean robin]

That's.. good right? 🤔

[quasi merlin]

Maybe

Objects before adverbs

But idk

[ocean robin]

Let's just conclude that objects are before adverbs because life reasons

i can't write oh my god

[cold vessel]

That sounds like the kind of rule that would have a billion exceptions

[sudden panther]

@hot cloak y grammer so grammery

[ocean robin]

[sudden panther]

Botto is our resident grammar nerd.

Some say that he even studies latin. 😱

[ocean robin]

[pine ginkgo]

who would ever do that

[ocean robin]

I didn't pick latin in school because I thought it was only for people who were shit in grammar.

[pine ginkgo]

hahaha

[sudden panther]

You're not shit at grammar? 🤔

[ocean robin]

I mean, not in the Frenchh one.

Nor in the English I think

[quasi merlin]

Rbutal

[ocean robin]

Also rbutal. Noice LordKorea.

[sudden panther]

So Flopperdoodle, go find yourself more work.

[ocean robin]

[sudden panther]

Which grammar book?

[ocean robin]

The ones you gave me the files.

Choose your topic.

[cold vessel]

Adjective declension , since she apparently didn't know that was a thing before yesterday 🤔

[ocean robin]

genitive case

yeah why not adjective declension

[sudden panther]

Too late Flops. Your choice has been made for you.

[hot cloak]

technically, immer es wouldn't be wrong. We just like to reference our object first before using an adverb which refers to the aforementioned one

[sudden panther]

Took you long enough. 😛 ❤

[ocean robin]

Don't tell me it's genitive that we'll do

[hot cloak]

I was getting something from the supermarktet :^(

[sudden panther]

Aw. Fine.

So Flops. Fill in the endings and translate the ones in English.
Es ist ein schön Tag.

[ocean robin]

OH

Dammit Flops. This is why it takes you 3 days to translate things.

[sudden panther]

Nice handwriting.

[hot cloak]

Do you have a new apartment?
That's an interesting book.

[ocean robin]

Do I need to translate into German the last ones?

[quasi merlin]

Fill in the endings and translate the ones in English.

Yes.

[ocean robin]

Ah I can't read.

[quasi merlin]

You fill in the endings in the German sentences.

And translate the English sentences into German.

[ocean robin]

Okay then.

Es ist ein schönes Tag. / Anja teleforniert mit einer guter Freundin. / Sie hat einen neuen Computer gekauft. / Hast du ein neues Apartment? / Das ist ein interessantes Buch. Seems like I am not sure on strong declensions heh.

[placid heath]

der Tag

[thick charm]

You got 3/5 correct

[placid heath]

3/5 is almost 3/7

[pine ginkgo]

but not even 5/7

[placid heath]

^

I failed

[thick charm]

but it's telefoniert, not teleforniert.

That I can tell you

[ocean robin]

lel

[thick charm]

Also hey Fleppsi

[ocean robin]

also hey chuckster

I can't write on computer

[thick charm]

You'll get used to it

[placid heath]

Ecrivez sur l'ordinateur!

I totally do not know if that makes any sense. French classes were too long ago xD

[ocean robin]

It does but it's like "DO IT OR YOU'LL BE DEAD"

[placid heath]

That's what I meant. 🗡

[ocean robin]

D:

[thick charm]

lmao

[ocean robin]

pssst where are the mistakes

[placid heath]

In the sentences

[pine ginkgo]

everywhere

[ocean robin]

lmao stop solet

[fair iron]

The problem with the first sentence is gender.

[thick charm]

Let's do it the other way around

which ones do you think might be wrong?

We know you got 3/5 right

[fair iron]

^

[ocean robin]

mmmmh 🤔

I feel like the last one sounds kinda weird, and the other uuuuh

Casca just said that the problem of the first one as the gender

[thick charm]

the last one is one of the 3 you got correct

[ocean robin]

Ah

The first is wrong; I just rememeber that it's "der Tag" now

[thick charm]

👌

That's one

[ocean robin]

And then I have no idea

[pine ginkgo]

chuck spoilt you already

with one other mistake

[ocean robin]

wow i can't read again

[fair iron]

rememeber. ^^

Cute.

[pine ginkgo]

recherchen

[thick charm]

The spirit of Arrem flows through her sentences

[ocean robin]

Stop saying that my typos are cute

LMAO STOP SOLET

[fair iron]

Never.

[pine ginkgo]

i will never say that your typos are cute, don't worry, flopser

[thick charm]

Rechchen

Was wäre der Diminutiv von Rechen?

[pine ginkgo]

ich würd einfach Rechlein sagen

[thick charm]

Kreativ.

[ocean robin]

Ah it's the typo of telefonieren?

[thick charm]

nope

there's another one

[ocean robin]

wot

[thick charm]

That's just a simple typo

The one we're looking for is grammatical

but you'll only have to change one letter

[ocean robin]

[pine ginkgo]

there's another typo

that you should find

[ocean robin]

shiet

[pine ginkgo]

because you are french

[ocean robin]

lol what

[thick charm]

oh lol

yeah there is

[pine ginkgo]

there are not many french words in the sentences

so you should find it

[thick charm]

But I think the English spelling is just as correct

[ocean robin]

Did I just write appartement?

[placid heath]

Non.

[pine ginkgo]

maybe, chuck

i just have never seen the english spelling in german before

[ocean robin]

I just don't see a frenchie word in here wot

[pine ginkgo]

lol flaps

[placid heath]

Ich hab bisher immer nur Wohnung gesehen

[pine ginkgo]

sagt der bademeister

[thick charm]

Fair point. That's the thing about Fremdwörter, you can write them however you want.

Flappy, you already found it.

[ocean robin]

Ah.

[thick charm]

German usually uses the French way of spelling Appartement.

[placid heath]

Apartment klingt so wie einen Wurstverkäufer Executive Fleischwarenmarketingmanager zu nennen

[pine ginkgo]

ah

[ocean robin]

Wow dict.cc.

[pine ginkgo]

duden sagt entweder Apartment

oder Appartement

[ocean robin]

dict.cc lied tu meh

[pine ginkgo]

dict cc didn't lie

[thick charm]

Ich bin nur ein Idiot

Whoops

[pine ginkgo]

dict.cc says the same

[thick charm]

"Sie haben da ein Loch im Lebenslauf"
"Ne, da war ich Executive Fleischwarenmarketingmanager, hat aber nicht auf's Papier gepasst."

[ocean robin]

wat

[thick charm]

But yeah, it's either Appartement or Apartment.

Both work

You'll find the French spelling more regularly though

[ocean robin]

Oki dokie.

[pine ginkgo]

so it's weird that flappsy

made french word mistakes

🤔

[thick charm]

Yeah, Flappy of all people

[ocean robin]

but I saw the other spelling

[pine ginkgo]

but then you failed

to write it

[ocean robin]

wat

[thick charm]

I think we have to revoke your French citizenship

[ocean robin]

seriously

no please

[thick charm]

You're German now

[pine ginkgo]

you mixed both spellings

[ocean robin]

wooooo

[pine ginkgo]

somehow

that's why it is so weird

[thick charm]

help I accidentally fullscreened Discord

how 2 fix

[ocean robin]

the hell Chuck how

[pine ginkgo]

wait

[placid heath]

F11 or Alt+Enter

[pine ginkgo]

it has a proper fullscreen option?

[ocean robin]

I am going to go for riding some horses now.

[pine ginkgo]

fix

[thick charm]

Ctrl+Shift+F

[pine ginkgo]

your sentences first flappsy

stop running away

[ocean robin]

No I can't.

[thick charm]

Wait no stop riding horses

[cold vessel]

There's only one letter to fix 😦

[pine ginkgo]

she still has to write them down correctly

which she didn't so far

in three occasions

[cold vessel]

I'm just going to post mine then ...

Es ist ein schöner Tag.
Anja telefoniert mit einer guten Freundin.
Sie hat einen neuen Computer gekauft.
Hast du eine neue Wohnung?
Das ist ein interessantes Buch.

[sudden panther]

Ayy Flopper actually finished her sentence thingos.

[pine ginkgo]

but she didnt correct them

:(

or you mean the old ones

:O

[sudden panther]

Ah, no I meant the ones I posted, but I thought she was done when hen posted his solution.

[cold vessel]

No, I'm just not as patient with her as you guys 😬

[placid heath]

In der Ruhe liegt die Kraft, henbruas

[pine ginkgo]

haha

you think i am patient

[placid heath]

Wenn de dich nochemol übers badisch luschdig machsch, dann bisch patient... ;)

[pine ginkgo]

wer machtn sowas?

[sudden panther]

Step 1: Make hen a mod
Step 2: Wait for him to lose patience
Step 3: Flops b& for slacking off

[ocean robin]

Wow when I wasn't here you spoiled. 😦

[hot cloak]

banned

[ocean robin]

nuuuh, I wasn't there! I was gone for my riding lesson

[hot cloak]

trop tard, banni

[ocean robin]

😦

Anyway, after doing my physics homework and taking my shower, I'll be there waiting for sentences. Free to add some to the queue.

[sudden panther]

Oh we will.

[hot cloak]

okay, translate this one:

Anyway, after doing my physics homework and taking my shower, I'll be there waiting for sentences. Free to add some to the queue. @ocean robin

german politics just seems like memes

[viscid cape]

Tru

I didn't mention any candidate though 😏

So less memes

[sudden panther]

Laddies. Be creative. We're focusing on adjective declensions.

[viscid cape]

Ohhh okay, I didn't know

Nvm then

[ocean robin]

Waw wot.

I came here because my brother wanted to do his shower before me, hey what

[hot cloak]

The fast, red, ugly, lazy, old, quiet, crazy fox jumped over the blue, sleeping, small dog.

[ocean robin]

Oh my god.

I am old?

[viscid cape]

Rekt by brother.

[hot cloak]

Technically, English would sort them by adjective strength

oh god

pls no

small sleeping blue dog

so subjective...

uh-huh

[sudden panther]

Quantity or number
Quality or opinion
Size
Age
Shape
Color
Proper adjective (often nationality, other place of origin, or material)
Purpose or qualifier

[twilit garden]

it is not subjective though

[hot cloak]

i have legitimately never heard of this rule

and i'm a native speaker

[whole rapids]

that's why you haven't

[viscid cape]

You don't have to

[hot cloak]

Well, it does exist

[viscid cape]

😂

[twilit garden]

many natives don't know about it

[hot cloak]

i think people just say whatever they want

adjective-order wise

no lmao

im not saying its correct lol

[sudden panther]

Would you say "blue big dog" instead of "big blue dog" 😛

[hot cloak]

e.g we don't say "Ich gehe in das blaue große Haus"

[sudden panther]

Blue is a silly color, why did I pick blue.

[twilit garden]

http://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/about-adjectives-and-adverbs/adjectives-order

[hot cloak]

why not, clifford was red

[whole rapids]

The Big Red Dog?

[sudden panther]

The poor Floppsel had to translate hard sentences, because a lovely memer forced her to [do so].

Go.

[ocean robin]

"Der schnelle, rote, hässliche, faule, ruhige, verrückte Fuchs springt den blauen, schlafenden, kleinen Hund über." That killed me and I chose to not cheat on adjective denclesion.

[hot cloak]

springt über*

[ocean robin]

Isn't über at the end?

[hot cloak]

Nope

You can't separate these two

[ocean robin]

Ah.

[sudden panther]

Über isn't a separable prefix, it's a preposition. Jump over.

Technically überspringen exists too, but that's not separable either. 😛

[ocean robin]

and the most important is:

are the denclesions righto?

[hot cloak]

yup

[ocean robin]

wow what

[hot cloak]

declension btw

[viscid cape]

Du darfst diese Aufgabe nicht überspringen 😛

[ocean robin]

I know, I will take a while to spell that word corretly

[hot cloak]

oh the irony

[ocean robin]

but if I would have put the über next to springen it would be my first correct translation

[sudden panther]

Flopsel cant spel anythyng corectly.

[ocean robin]

yesh i cunfirm

Now I will take my shower. See you soon.

[viscid cape]

🤦

[hot cloak]

why does general 2 exist?

[sudden panther]

it would be my first correct translation
Kek. One day Flops, one day.

[viscid cape]

She's the sneakiest fox ever.

[hot cloak]

Sometimes #general gets overly active

oh really

yeah

[sudden panther]

^And then you come here for some peace and quiet.

[hot cloak]

you like peace,

?

who doesn't

but crowded is good

😜

[twilit garden]

crowded is good
Sauer-crowded is better

[hot cloak]

xD

[sudden panther]

Anyway Floppser, ping me when you're back.

[ocean robin]

I am not sneaky. I really took my shower and I even sped up for you because taking care of my hair takes 45 mins. 😦

@sudden panther Arrememe I am back.

[sudden panther]

but now ur hayr will be uglee

We take no responsibility for that.

[ocean robin]

i dud tak car of it thouh

[sudden panther]

The poor Floppsel had to translate hard sentences, because a mean memer forced her to. Go.

[ocean robin]

👀

[sudden panther]

Kek nice one.

She probably is hiding though. It's been 2 minutes already. Slow as fok.

[viscid cape]

In her fox hole.

[ocean robin]

Daddy called for me.

[sudden panther]

🕕

[ocean robin]

"Die arme Floppsel müsste schwierige Sätze zu übersetzen, weil ein gemine Meme ihr (or sie, but I think it's dative?) zu (dunno about that one, literal translation?) zwang.

[pine ginkgo]

no

try again

[sudden panther]

Okay, that's pretty good.

Let's start small. Check your spelling of mean. 😛

[viscid cape]

Chuck your spelling

Mate.

[hot cloak]

chuck it, out the window

[viscid cape]

out the window? 😂

[ocean robin]

waito

[sudden panther]

Also it might be my fault for giving you meme words, but you can use der Memer for memer. 😛

[ocean robin]

Dict.cc says "gemein" for mean

[sudden panther]

Correcto.

As opposed to "gemine"

[hot cloak]

what is gemine...

[ocean robin]

And what did I write?

[sudden panther]

"gemine"

[ocean robin]

[hot cloak]

oh

[ocean robin]

"Die arme Floppsel müsste schwierige Sätze zu übersetzen, weil ein gemeine Meme ihr zu zwang.

The last words bother me soooooo much.

[sudden panther]

der Memer

[ocean robin]

oh yeah

But it's Acc?

[sudden panther]

Is it? 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

tell us

[ocean robin]

Floppsel is Nominative

then Arrem is uuuuuh

[sudden panther]

Floppsel is nominative in the first clause, yes.

[viscid cape]

She just called you a mean meme.

[sudden panther]

It's my sentence. 😛

[ocean robin]

Arrem just called himself a mean meme.

[viscid cape]

Oh. :v

[ocean robin]

I thought Arrem was nominative in the second clause too

[pine ginkgo]

we all call arrem a meme

and now flappsy

concentrate

[ocean robin]

and then "her" dative

[pine ginkgo]

why dative?

[sudden panther]

Who's doing the action in the second clause, Flops?

[ocean robin]

dunno, I hesitated between acc and dative, in fact it could be Dative because Floppsy is the direct object mmmh

It's Arrem righto?

[sudden panther]

Yes. Arrem is therefore the subject of the second clause.

Which should tell you enough about his case.

[ocean robin]

Does that mean that declension is wrong?

[sudden panther]

ein gemeine would be wrong, no matter what. It doesn't exist.

[ocean robin]

Mmmmh.

I will look up.

[pine ginkgo]

we should get flappsy to pays us

🤔

[sudden panther]

Once again, der Memer

[ocean robin]

no solet, I have no money

*ein gemeiner?

[pine ginkgo]

mh?

[sudden panther]

Why?

[ocean robin]

why? nominative and masculine?

so -er?

[sudden panther]

Less ????? please. 😛

But yes.

[cold vessel]

Ban her after the next queston mark 😄

[ocean robin]

lel

[pine ginkgo]

i would like to, henbri

[sudden panther]

So let's see the sentence again.

[ocean robin]

"Die arme Floppsel müsste schwierige Sätze zu übersetzen, weil ein gemeiner Memer ihr zu zwang." ther

[sudden panther]

Amazing. It's 100% correct.

[ocean robin]

[sudden panther]

Not.

[ocean robin]

Those 3 last words.

[pine ginkgo]

why dative

floppsel

[ocean robin]

yes I have seen that mistake when you asked the same question

let me fix dat and put acc

[pine ginkgo]

WHY

floppsy

just answer me

[ocean robin]

well, what was my reasoning again, I thought it was "forced whom?" instead of "forced who"

I realize that now I am a wierdo girl, wouhouu

[sudden panther]

Whom is just the object form of who. It should be used for both acc. and dat.

[pine ginkgo]

when you look up a word

you should also look at what case it takes

if it's verb

[hot cloak]

or a preposition

[pine ginkgo]

the nully corrector :o

[hot cloak]

❤

Akkusativ <---- wohin wo -----> Dativ

(meistens)

[ocean robin]

yeah true solet

[pine ginkgo]

the way you do it

is just guessing the case

and say

"oh, i think this sounds nicer"

[hot cloak]

right, totally (if you're a native)

[pine ginkgo]

which is not wrong, if you are good at a language

but that's kinda far for you

[ocean robin]

if you're good at a langauge

[sudden panther]

So Flops jemand__ zwingen, etwas zu tun. fill in the blank. 😛

[pine ginkgo]

also

as i told you

[ocean robin]

Jemanden?

[pine ginkgo]

if you are not sure

ask us

like

[hot cloak]

@ocean robin the rule I posted ---^ is a good way to remember most of them

[pine ginkgo]

hey i got this word

[hot cloak]

just a few break it, like nach (oh and some take genitiv)

[pine ginkgo]

what case does it take

instead of

mhh, this verb, i just take this

[ocean robin]

[sudden panther]

And yes, jemanden. Now fixerooni.

[pine ginkgo]

you should never

just blindly take a guess when you are translating as a beginner

[sudden panther]

solet why are

you doing

the Daniel

[ocean robin]

lel

[hot cloak]

what

[pine ginkgo]

it's my style, you mem

[hot cloak]

are

you

even

talking

about

i

[ocean robin]

if he didn't there would be a wall of text

[hot cloak]

like

the

enter

key

[ocean robin]

and then i would be like "tldr"

[pine ginkgo]

just don't forget, just ask us if you are not sure

[sudden panther]

If you ever say tldr I'll just ban you.

[pine ginkgo]

and if you don't know the reason

[ocean robin]

[pine ginkgo]

you never do that

you ask us after you tried to translate it

when you should ask us before

[ocean robin]

Sure Solet, note to self: stop chossing cases blindly, you fokken foxie

[pine ginkgo]

okay, you can do it flöpsel

now listen to the arrem

[ocean robin]

so, "Die arme Floppsel müsste schwierige Sätze zu übersetzen, weil ein gemeine Meme sie zu zwang."

what does that word even mean

[sudden panther]

What word?

[ocean robin]

your reaction above my text here

[hot cloak]

you said "chossing"

[sudden panther]

Just me bullying you about your spelling. 😛

[ocean robin]

[hot cloak]

choosing

[pine ginkgo]

i am pretty sure it is CHOBING

runs

[ocean robin]

I can't write on computer

lmao solet

[hot cloak]

well, use your keyboard

[sudden panther]

CHOẞING

[cold vessel]

Choβing

[ocean robin]

I do, but there are always stupid typos because I am not used to have Azerty while writing English

[sudden panther]

Switch to QWERTZ. 😛

[ocean robin]

on my phone it's Qwerty that I have for English

[pine ginkgo]

it's alright to do some typos, flappsy

that's why you have to take extra care when writing

[ocean robin]

but you do always do them, so it's tiring

[pine ginkgo]

so you have it in the correct form

[sudden panther]

Alright Flops, enough banter.

[ocean robin]

Yeah, what's the next mistake?

[sudden panther]

Tell us what this "müsste" thing is.

[ocean robin]

I wanted to say "had to" and thought that "had to" = müssen in past form

[sudden panther]

Correct.
