Good. And what kind of a verb is müssen?

auxilary?

sudden panther Sep 23, 2017, 4:38 PM

Modal.

ocean robin Sep 23, 2017, 4:39 PM

sudden panther Sep 23, 2017, 4:39 PM

Haben, sein and werden are auxiliary.

ocean robin Sep 23, 2017, 4:39 PM

Ah.

sudden panther Sep 23, 2017, 4:39 PM

#

And what funny little thing do modal verbs do when combined with other verbs that we mentioned 27528345723458 times before?

ocean robin Sep 23, 2017, 4:39 PM

#

Wow I don't even know the right words. I knew it was modal somehow but was confused.

Do we drop the zu?

sudden panther Sep 23, 2017, 4:45 PM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Why would we drop the zu?

ocean robin Sep 23, 2017, 4:45 PM

#

Because the modal verb is already saying that we are doing something?

Forget zu, and forget zu too 🎼

sudden panther Sep 23, 2017, 4:46 PM

Modals don't take zu. The next time you forget it, I want to see it written 100 times on paper.

#

if anything, Arrem is closer haha

sudden panther Sep 23, 2017, 4:53 PM

#

So. We've already said that we use jemanden zwingen, etwas zu tun before. With that, we can write sentences like
Casca zwingt Flops, Sätze zu übersetzen.
I use zwingen, and then specify what I'm forcing you to do in the next clause. Many other verbs act exactly like this. However, when you have , weil ein gemeiner Memer sie zu zwang., the zu is kinda lonely there. When we have a lone preposition like that, we prefix it with a da-, so in your case, it would be dazu.

lavish saddle Sep 23, 2017, 4:53 PM

Riding the train to Germany is a whole day kinda ordeal x-x

btw, for everyone that's been talking about the ich verstehe nur Bahnhof phrase

here's the context for where it came from, it's actually kinda sad :(

Since train was the primary means of transportation, many soldiers associated the train station (Bahnhof) with returning home. Because the soldiers thought a lot about returning home it could happen that they could or would not follow the conversation because they "only understood train station"

Die Dursleys besaßen alles, was sie wollten, doch sie hatten
auch ein Geheimnis, und dass es Jemand aufdecken könnte, war
ihre größte Sorge. Einfach unerträglich wäre es, wenn die Sache
mit den Potters herauskommen würde. Mrs. Potter war die
Schwester von Mrs. Dursley; doch die beiden hatten sich schon
seit etlichen Jahren nicht mehr gesehen. Mrs. Dursley behauptete
sogar, dass sie gar keine Schwester hätte, denn diese und deren
Nichtsnutz von einem Mann waren so undursleyhaft, wie man es
sich nur denken konnte. Was würden bloß die Nachbarn sagen,
sollten die Potters eines Tages in ihrer Straße aufkreuzen?
Die Dursleys wussten, dass auch die Potters einen kleinen Sohn
hatten, doch den hatten sie nie gesehen. Auch dieser Junge war
ein guter Grund, sich von den Potters fernzuhalten; mit einem
solchen Kind sollte ihr Dudley nicht in Berührung kommen.

like in könnte

make it like eh

not like é

hot cloak Sep 23, 2017, 7:48 PM

#

hmm

#

you're probably right

#

it would likely be me trying to speak faster than I'm currently capable of and consonants and vowels getting muffled up

#

because I've always been able to pronounce them seperately like that

#

I feel like I should start speaking slower and slowly speeding it up because I keep tripping up and messing things up when I speak faster

#

also a big problem with it is my main problem in general which is not being able to come up with what else I want to say on time

pine ginkgo Sep 23, 2017, 7:50 PM

#

you should only speak faster

#

if you are confident in your correct pronounciation

hot cloak Sep 23, 2017, 7:50 PM

#

yeah you're right

pine ginkgo Sep 23, 2017, 7:50 PM

#

or if you want to fake out being bad

#

but that does not work msot times

hot cloak Sep 23, 2017, 7:50 PM

I might just keep it slow to get more used to the sounds

and speed it up once I'm confident I sound decent at whatever speed

Schwa

In linguistics, specifically phonetics and phonology, schwa (, rarely or ) (sometimes spelled shwa) is the mid central vowel sound (rounded or unrounded) in the middle of the vowel chart, denoted by the IPA symbol ə, or another vowel sound clos...

#

The e and z should be doable because I can already do those, just have to remember to use them. The soft ch I can't for the life of me do, but I guess I just have to work on it (if someone has a good guide, please let me know)

#

And I'll just repeat this question because it might have gotten drowned out a bit: How bad is my hard ch?

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.```

#

Allstar hadn't been written back then Ninja. The poor souls didn't know better.

nocturne spruce Sep 23, 2017, 9:50 PM

#

I guess it has to do with Arabic having a similar line, that would translate to "Not all shiny things are gold" or something

shy bobcat Sep 23, 2017, 9:50 PM

#

yeah, the actual idiom is Not all that glitters is gold

nocturne spruce Sep 23, 2017, 9:51 PM

#

Oh, felt like something was off, thanks Arizona

shy bobcat Sep 23, 2017, 9:55 PM

@fair iron
Alles, was Gold ist, glänzt nicht, Nicht alle, die wandern, sind verloren; Der Alte, der stark ist, verblüht nicht, Tiefe Wurzen werden nicht vom Frost erreicht. Aus den Aschen wird ein Feuer erweckt, Ein Licht wird aus den Schatten springen; Erneut wird die Klinge, die gebrochen wurde, Der Kronenlose wird wieder König sein..
Fuck trying to make it rhyme 😅

fair iron Sep 23, 2017, 9:56 PM

#

Impressive work nevertheless!

cold vessel Sep 23, 2017, 9:56 PM

#

Why is it "was" instead of a relative pronoun here?

shy bobcat Sep 23, 2017, 9:56 PM

#

...I typed the L and deleted it lel

fair iron Sep 23, 2017, 9:56 PM

#

^^

#

All which is gold vs All that is gold.

shy bobcat Sep 23, 2017, 9:57 PM

#

@cold vessel idk exactly why, but nichts alles etc use “was” a lot

fair iron Sep 23, 2017, 9:57 PM

#

Little difference.

shy bobcat Sep 23, 2017, 9:57 PM

#

@fair iron naw there’s no difference to my ears

#

😄

#

maybe in british english there’s one?

fair iron Sep 23, 2017, 9:58 PM

#

Just stylistically.

nocturne spruce Sep 23, 2017, 9:58 PM

#

Why did you translate "Shall" to "Wird"?

shy bobcat Sep 23, 2017, 9:58 PM

#

because shall basically means “will”

#

in english

#

😛

nocturne spruce Sep 23, 2017, 9:58 PM

#

I get that the meaning is the same here, just wondering why

#

Like is there an alternative, or is it the only option

fair iron Sep 23, 2017, 9:59 PM

#

I wonder how hard it would be to make the German translation rhyme. 🤔

nocturne spruce Sep 23, 2017, 9:59 PM

#

Depends on the rules of German when it comes to poetry

shy bobcat Sep 23, 2017, 10:00 PM

#

I think that I’ve heard wollen used with a bit of a future sense in a song or two, actually, and I think of that as a “shall”, like a ”will” but with more desire and intent behind it

pine ginkgo Sep 23, 2017, 10:00 PM

#

Erneut != erneuern

#

Btw

shy bobcat Sep 23, 2017, 10:00 PM

#

hey luna 😄

pine ginkgo Sep 23, 2017, 10:02 PM

#

Go teeeis, fix it

nocturne spruce Sep 23, 2017, 10:02 PM

#

How about "sollte erweckt sein"?

#

or does that not make sense?

shy bobcat Sep 23, 2017, 10:03 PM

#

...Erneuert wird die Klinge, die gebrochen wurde...

pine ginkgo Sep 23, 2017, 10:03 PM

nocturne spruce Sep 23, 2017, 10:04 PM

#

Aus den Aschen sollte ein Feuer erweckt sein is what I had in mind when translating

#

so I wanna know if it works

shy bobcat Sep 23, 2017, 10:04 PM

#

“of the ashes, a fire should be awoken”

nocturne spruce Sep 23, 2017, 10:05 PM

#

yeah, that was my worry, would it be should or shall

cold vessel Sep 23, 2017, 10:05 PM

#

What about "soll"?

shy bobcat Sep 23, 2017, 10:05 PM

#

soll is weird, I think it can translate one sense of shall, but not this one

pine ginkgo Sep 23, 2017, 10:06 PM

#

soll

#

it's a prophecy type of text

shy bobcat Sep 23, 2017, 10:06 PM

#

is that to say, soll does translate this sense of “shall”?

pine ginkgo Sep 23, 2017, 10:06 PM

#

so it's soll

shy bobcat Sep 23, 2017, 10:06 PM

#

ok

#

👍

pine ginkgo Sep 23, 2017, 10:07 PM

#

wird ist aber auch okay

nocturne spruce Sep 23, 2017, 10:07 PM

#

ok, makes sense

shy bobcat Sep 23, 2017, 10:07 PM

#

Es ist dann ein subtiler Unterschied?

pine ginkgo Sep 23, 2017, 10:07 PM

#

mhh, ja

#

ich kann es grad nicht sooo gut erklären

#

aber es gibt einen unterschied

nocturne spruce Sep 23, 2017, 10:08 PM

#

Probably has to do with how certain you are

pine ginkgo Sep 23, 2017, 10:08 PM

#

aber für diese art von text kann man sollen und werden verwenden

shy bobcat Sep 23, 2017, 10:08 PM

#

Soll means something like “aught to” but a bit stronger, afaik

#

ought*

#

english spelling is fun

nocturne spruce Sep 23, 2017, 10:08 PM

#

Similar to "Shall" and "Will" in English

#

The difference is very subtle but it's there

pine ginkgo Sep 23, 2017, 10:08 PM

#

soll is more like a command/compel

#

wird is then more like "nature"

#

but, uh, don't take my word on it

nocturne spruce Sep 23, 2017, 10:09 PM

#

so in this case "wird: is a bit better

shy bobcat Sep 23, 2017, 10:09 PM

#

luna says soll works well for these prophecy-ish type statements

nocturne spruce Sep 23, 2017, 10:09 PM

#

actually wait

pine ginkgo Sep 23, 2017, 10:09 PM

#

pine ginkgo Sep 23, 2017, 10:11 PM

#

Or pretends to 🤔

shy bobcat Sep 23, 2017, 10:12 PM

#

maybe he’s just typing out “eistee stop trying to speak german” over and over again kappa

cold vessel Sep 23, 2017, 10:16 PM

#

Now do:
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

shy bobcat Sep 23, 2017, 10:17 PM

~~time to look up the official translation~~ kappa

#

I’m actually gonna try it for real tho

viscid cape Sep 23, 2017, 10:22 PM

#

I wanna try it too :v

nocturne spruce Sep 23, 2017, 10:22 PM

#

I'm giving it a shot, but I haven't seen or read LoTR so this is awfully confusing

shy bobcat Sep 23, 2017, 10:22 PM

#

I have 😍

fair iron Sep 23, 2017, 10:23 PM

#

Making it rhyme has been a lot harder than I anticipated.

#

As such, some things had to be modified a little.

#

Nicht alles in gold reflektiert Licht,
Noch viele müssen den Weg lern';
Das Alte, was stark ist, verdorrt nicht,
Tiefe Wurzeln vom Frost bleiben fern.
Aus den Aschen soll Feuer erschüttern,
Ein Licht aus dem Schatten geströmt;
Erneut sei die Klinge aus Splittern,
Der Kronenlose erneut sei gekrönt.```

cold vessel Sep 23, 2017, 10:27 PM

Doesn't the simile kinda break down if you're just talking about the color? 🤔

shy bobcat Sep 23, 2017, 10:27 PM

#

I imagine “nicht alles aus Gold” could work 🤔

nocturne spruce Sep 23, 2017, 10:27 PM

#

I guess the point is that it looks Golden but actually isn't

fair iron Sep 23, 2017, 10:28 PM

#

I took it to mean a golden sheen, more than the metal itself.

cold vessel Sep 23, 2017, 10:28 PM

Entschuldigung an alle deutsche LoTR-Fans :D
Drei Ringe für die Elfenkönige unterm Himmel, Sieben für die Zwergenherren in ihren Steinhallen, Neun für die sterblichen Männer(/Menschen?), die zum Tod verurteilt sind, Einer für den finsteren Herrn, auf seinem finsteren Thron Im Land Mordor wo die Schatten liegen. Ein Ring, um alle zu herrschen, Ein Ring um sie zu finden. Ein Ring um alle zu bringen, und im Dunkel sie zu binden. Im Land Mordor wo die Schatten liegen.

if any of this sounds even remotely like the actual German translation then oops.

Lord 🤔

nocturne spruce Sep 23, 2017, 10:29 PM

#

Forgot to do a few things

#

Like fusing "In" with "dem"

#

and probably has a ton of mistakes but eh

#

I went to dict.cc for that, apparently "Der Lord" is a thing

#

so I went with it

shy bobcat Sep 23, 2017, 10:30 PM

I went to my brain, where I’m pretty sure the word for lord is Herr

Maybe it's because I've been emailing the University and the migration office a lot recently

so I connect "Herr" to a guy in an office

Good Night Casca

shy bobcat Sep 23, 2017, 10:32 PM

Herr’s also german for “Mr.” so makes sense

The word “mister” itself is a heavily corrupted version of “my sir” iirc, and “sir” is derived from French for “lord” afaik

Den Sterblichen, ewig dem Tode verfallen, neun,
Einer dem Dunklen Herrn auf dunklem Thron
Im Lande Mordor, wo die Schatten drohn.
