general-2

[ocean robin]

BUT THE SENTENCE IS CORRECT NOW?

REALLY?

[sudden panther]

No, I'm just messing with you. ❤

[fair iron]

^

Sorry, Flappy.

[ocean robin]

thankies ❤

I am used to it now

yeah dat "Mann"

[sudden panther]

So. What do we tackle next? 🤔
You pick. Declensions, cases, weird word choices.

[pine ginkgo]

typos

hahaha

[ocean robin]

LOL

[pine ginkgo]

runs

[ocean robin]

"Weird word choices"

Interesting, the hell is that.

Flops picking flopsy words?

[pine ginkgo]

yes

[sudden panther]

Again you choosing the 153454953495th result. Berichten = report.

[ocean robin]

Let me see what was the first word.

[cold vessel]

Because at least I have forgotten the original by now:
The rich lady, whose fat husband I saw yesterday, bought me the pretty flowers that I told you about.

[ocean robin]

Erzählen, I knew the word already lel

[sudden panther]

Then why didn't you use it? 🤔

[ocean robin]

Because this.

[pine ginkgo]

so

read again

what is the difference between two versions?

[viscid cape]

I'm back

[ocean robin]

One is for telling a story (erzählen) and the other for reporting (berichten).

[pine ginkgo]

no

what is the grammatical difference between those

let's say that

and why did you pick berichten

[ocean robin]

I dunno, it was the first I saw erzählen is also a verb with a inseparable prefix, correct?

[pine ginkgo]

no

okay

flaps

how many objects

do both verbs take

in english

[ocean robin]

huh wot

[pine ginkgo]

how many objects

do the verbs take

the page tells you

[ocean robin]

Oh, wait.

Actually I don't understand the question Solet

[pine ginkgo]

okay

the screenshot you made

has two different versions

right

[ocean robin]

Yep.

[pine ginkgo]

what is the difference between those?

because if there is no difference

why are there two versions

[ocean robin]

I searched at first "tell about"

[pine ginkgo]

yes

[sudden panther]

His main question is how many objects does each word take.

[ocean robin]

And then "tell"

[pine ginkgo]

and you got two resutls

what is the different

[ocean robin]

Yeah.

[pine ginkgo]

between both

tell me

[ocean robin]

Wasn't the one for reporting as a patrol or idk, for reporting. The second is just to tell basic stuff as "ey look I saw a cat today"

[pine ginkgo]

no

flapps

don't overthink it

really

i just want you to point out

when you look at both versions

what is different between those

[sudden panther]

Flops. How many objects are ther in give someone something?

[ocean robin]

You mean which cases they take? 👀

[pine ginkgo]

...

ah, you take it arrem

i need a break

[sudden panther]

Ahahahaha, okay.

No, I mean what I said. How many objects are there in this sentence: Ich habe Flops ein Buch gegeben

Possible answers
A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) I don't know what objects are
E) I don't know how to identify the objects in a sentence
F) Both D and E
Pick one. 😛

[nocturne spruce]

Flappy

What is an object?

She's gone

[past creek]

anyone here playing overwatch with the voiceover in german?

[ocean robin]

I would say D eh. I even don't remember what it is.

[nocturne spruce]

Ok

The Object is the noun that is affected by the verb

While the Subject is the doer of the verb

So in the case of something like "I gave the kid an apple"

You have two objects

since your action affects both the kid (He gets an apple) and the apple (It has been given from you to the kid)

Is that clear Flopsel?

[ocean robin]

Ahhh, okay.

[nocturne spruce]

So

[ocean robin]

2 objects.

[pine ginkgo]

it's kinda amazing how far we have come, without floppsel knowing it

🤔

[nocturne spruce]

How many objects does "berichten" take?

It's kind of easy to forget so there is that

[ocean robin]

Solet, idk really, I didn't know the term

[nocturne spruce]

Flappy

Answer the question

[ocean robin]

I'd say 2.

[nocturne spruce]

I'd say you're wrong

[ocean robin]

Because you tell someone about it and then you- wait wot.

Wait. Maybe 1.

[nocturne spruce]

Yep

Berichten, tells about someone/something

[ocean robin]

Because it's only the receiver of the information who ich "dir" in this case. Or dich. I don't remember.

[nocturne spruce]

Without addressing anyone in specific

How about "erzaehlen"

[sudden panther]

https://i.imgur.com/6T7zd7n.png

to tell about something one object.

[nocturne spruce]

That's cruel arrem

[sudden panther]

Now do the other one.

[nocturne spruce]

Let's stay at baby steps

[sudden panther]

How is it cruel, it's what we're going for. 🤔

[nocturne spruce]

then remind her of her mistake afterwards

[ocean robin]

Erzählen is for to tell, correct?

[nocturne spruce]

I don't know really, it just feels like highlighting the mistake this clearly is a bit mean

You are correct flappy

[ocean robin]

Yeah you say that it's highlighted but I don't see it. Lucky you.

[nocturne spruce]

Flappu

[sudden panther]

I wasn't highlighting any mistakes. I just posted the picture for reference and repeated what you already said. 🤔

[nocturne spruce]

Answer the question

[ocean robin]

I want to say one as well.

[nocturne spruce]

Fair enough Arrem, don't think about it too much, I'm just being dumb here 😅

I want to say that you're wrong

[sudden panther]

Which one, Flops?

[ocean robin]

The receiver as well.

[sudden panther]

What's the object in etwas berichten?

[ocean robin]

The dir?

[nocturne spruce]

What dir?

[sudden panther]

Where's the dir in etwas berichten?

Two words. One is the object, one is the predicate/verb.

[pine ginkgo]

etwas bedirchten

🤔

there, fixed

[nocturne spruce]

etdir dirdirchten

We can keep going here

[pine ginkgo]

oh, that's good pengu

[ocean robin]

The object is etwas. Lol IDK.

[sudden panther]

Yes.

[nocturne spruce]

Correct

[sudden panther]

But this isn't going anywhere and that question shouldn't take so much thinking, so I'd suggest taking a moment to recap.

[nocturne spruce]

Fair enough

[viscid cape]

I'm pretty confused as to what's going on

[ocean robin]

[nocturne spruce]

We're explaining objects to flappy

[pine ginkgo]

we found out, floppsel didn't know what objects are

[viscid cape]

Ohhh I see

[ocean robin]

[viscid cape]

@pine ginkgo Don't be cruel lol

[pine ginkgo]

which could be a determining point of why flopssel always chose the worst possibilites from the dictionary

what

i am letting arrem and ninja handle this

so i don't have to be cruel

[viscid cape]

😂

Just teasing, you may continue your ehm... heterodox educational methods

[pine ginkgo]

heterothodox :D

[viscid cape]

SHHH

[sudden panther]

To quote: "The object is the noun that is affected by the verb" It might have been the explanation that confused you, but objects aren't limited to nouns. Things that carry an action out are called subjects and are found in nominative. Things that the action is carried out on are the objects and are in accusative or dative. "Things" is of course imprecise, but it can be anything, most commonly nouns and pronouns. Of course, a verb can never be a subject or an object, since the verb is the action we're carrying out.
Thus, in etwas bekommen, the bekommen is the predicate/verb and the etwas is the object, because the etwas is being targeted by the verb.
In jemandem etwas geben, both jemandem and etwas are the objects. The jemand is getting something and the etwas is being given to him.
The same concept carries over to full sentences as well.
Ich gebe Floppsel ein Buch. => ich = subject, Floppsel = object (DAT), Buch = object (ACC)

[ocean robin]

wall of text ™

And yeah, I understood naw.

[sudden panther]

Shit.

[nocturne spruce]

You know, you could have said that you didn't understand when I asked you

[pine ginkgo]

lol

[sudden panther]

Thank you. ❤

[cold vessel]

Usually you'd call Floppsel the indirect object and ein Buch the direct object

[viscid cape]

😂

[ocean robin]

Ninja, that's main problem. I hate saying that I don't understand so I search blindly.

And I must eat.

[cold vessel]

You need to stop having a life outside of translating, flappy

[sudden panther]

It's fairly obvious to us when you don't understand things. And it's more embarassing to guess around for an hour than to simply ask. 😛

[viscid cape]

^ true

[nocturne spruce]

Flappy, it won't do you any good if you shy away from such things, part of the reason why I mess up so often as a "C" Level, is because I never asked about simple things

[sudden panther]

When you're back, you can identify the objects in jemandem von etwas erzählen.

[ocean robin]

Jemandem and etwas. 2.

[viscid cape]

[sudden panther]

Good. So the thing that Solet was aiming for is that you'll always need the same amount of subjects in your English sentence and your German sentence. Which is a pretty big hint that berichten doesn't work. It takes 1 object and you need 2.

[ocean robin]

Ah, so erzählen?

[sudden panther]

Keeping that in mind, let's try rewriting the sentence using jemandem von etwas erzählen, yes.

[ocean robin]

Die reiche Dame, deren dicke Mann ich gestern sah, hat mich die schönen Blumen gekauft, die ich dir erzählte.

[sudden panther]

What happened to the von? 🤔

[ocean robin]

Oh yeah.

[pine ginkgo]

left at eating table

[ocean robin]

Wait where do I put it then.

Die von ich dir?

[fair iron]

In the correct spot, if you please.

[nocturne spruce]

why von not "über"

[ocean robin]

because life reasons

[pine ginkgo]

mh, not sure there is any difference, pengu

[nocturne spruce]

Flappy, stay focused on the question please

[ocean robin]

and thanks Casca, that's what I am aiming for lel

YES OKAY.

[nocturne spruce]

😛

Ok, thanks for clarifying Luna

[pine ginkgo]

don't think there is any semantic difference

but obviously grammar wise it can change

[sudden panther]

Start with the preposition. Kinda like The old lady, whose husband I saw yesterday, bought me the flowers, about which I told you And pay extra attention to your cases.

[ocean robin]

The flowers are a clause now? No verb?

[sudden panther]

No I was just too lazy to type out the rest of it.

[ocean robin]

Ah.

[sudden panther]

There. 😛

[ocean robin]

Die reiche Dame, deren dicke Mann ich gestern sah, hat mich die schönen Blumen gekauft, von die ich dich berichtete.

Wooo I am not sure.

[sudden panther]

What case does von take?

And why are we back to berichtete. Stop copypasting please.

[ocean robin]

Christ.

[nocturne spruce]

Just write the last sentence

[ocean robin]

yes let me do that

[sudden panther]

Yes, I'm fine with you only writing the clause we're working on, but please write it out completely instead of just copying in old mistakes.

[ocean robin]

Die reiche Dame, deren dicke Mann ich gestern sah, hat mich die schönen Blumen gekauft, von der (dative for von right) ich dir erzählte.

WAIT NO.

Den for Blumen.

[sudden panther]

Good Flopper. But what is the den in that sentence. Is it an article or something else?

[ocean robin]

It's the flowers.

[sudden panther]

Nou that's not what I meant. Is it an article or a relative pronoun?

[ocean robin]

Relative pronoun.

Wait...

[sudden panther]

Waiting.

[ocean robin]

Denen?

[sudden panther]

Aaaaaaaa. Yes. Great job.

[ocean robin]

Woooo.

Die reiche Dame, deren dicke Mann ich gestern sah, hat mich die schönen Blumen gekauft, von denen ich dir erzählte.

[nocturne spruce]

Why do I feel like "hat mich die schönen Blumen gekauft" is wrong

[sudden panther]

Because you're a smart cookie.

Flops, can you see why?

[pine ginkgo]

pengu showing off his c-skills

[nocturne spruce]

Oh, now that I look at it again

[pine ginkgo]

:P

[nocturne spruce]

I know why 😄

[ocean robin]

Is it the wrong case?

[sudden panther]

Sure is. But what?

[nocturne spruce]

What is "it" referring to?

[ocean robin]

Can't be nominative.

[pine ginkgo]

fewer questions, more statements, flappsy

if you just ask like that all the time

[nocturne spruce]

Well that's correct flappy

3 more choices remain

[pine ginkgo]

it's kinda hard to see if you understand it

since you always ask about the case

[ocean robin]

Can't be genitive as well.

[nocturne spruce]

prefect

so you have 2 choices and nothing that would forcefully change a case (like a preposition)

Put the correct cases

[ocean robin]

I think it's dative, but I am looking foward why it should be.

[pine ginkgo]

well

[ocean robin]

to buy something to someone

mmmh

[nocturne spruce]

well, one of them has to be, but which one

[cold vessel]

I told you, flappy, always ask the two questions

[ocean robin]

I think it's mich which should be changed?

die Blumen are okay for me

[nocturne spruce]

ok

why do you think that it should be changed?

[ocean robin]

I don't think it's the flowers, because they are the direct object

But you bought the flowers for me, and then me is indirect

[nocturne spruce]

correct

the indirect object always comes before the direct object

[ocean robin]

woooo

so sentence:

[nocturne spruce]

take arrem's example as proof Ich gebe Floppsel ein Buch

[pine ginkgo]

good call, pengu!

[nocturne spruce]

Thank you captain Solet

[ocean robin]

Die reiche Dame, deren dicke Mann ich gestern sah, hat mir die schönen Blumen gekauft, von denen ich dir erzählte.

next mistake ™

[nocturne spruce]

I don't know if there is something wrong with it, it looks fine to me

[sudden panther]

A tiny thingo.

[nocturne spruce]

oh

[ocean robin]

[pine ginkgo]

bad pengu now

[ocean robin]

wow

[pine ginkgo]

i gonna mark you C- now

[nocturne spruce]

My heart 💔

But I deserve it

[sudden panther]

After relative pronouns in genitive, we have to use the strong declension. You can kinda think that the relative pronoun isn't an article for the following noun, but a connector, and the noun remains there without any article, and defaults to the strong declension. So instead of doing deren dicke Mann, we have to pay attention to the actual case of the Mann in that sentence and apply the correct declension.

[ocean robin]

👀

Oh yeah that Mann.

[nocturne spruce]

I actually didn't know that

I dissapoint myself 😦

[opal sequoia]

Aww, ninja. ❤

[ocean robin]

Awww, don't Pengu! We learn everyday.

[nocturne spruce]

Thanks base. ♥

That we do flappy. ❤

[viscid cape]

You disappoint me, Pengu.

All other birds flying around.

But you...

You.

[nocturne spruce]

I became a Ninja though

that has to count for something

[ocean robin]

^

[viscid cape]

Fair enough, you're special.

[ocean robin]

AND I AM A FOX WHO LEARNS GERMAN.

[opal sequoia]

Not all birds fly. 😢

[ocean robin]

I'LL BE THE FIRST.

fite me >:3

ANYWAY ARREM.

[sudden panther]

https://i.imgur.com/H1HcC7a.png

Hammer's 6.2.1. b

[ocean robin]

wot

[opal sequoia]

Wow.

[sudden panther]

Nothing I'm just quoting a section of a grammar book.

[ocean robin]

Ah lel.

[viscid cape]

Hammer's illegal copy detected

[ocean robin]

Let me download that~

LOL

[opal sequoia]

I don't know if you're ready for that. 😶

[nocturne spruce]

Use it only as a reference

Not as learning material

[ocean robin]

Ready for what?

[viscid cape]

German.

[nocturne spruce]

We don't need someone else asking at 4 am to construct a sentence in passiv plusquamperfekt

[ocean robin]

[opal sequoia]

For trying to decipher a detailed grammar reference.

[nocturne spruce]

That was a real nightmare

[ocean robin]

Oh true.

[opal sequoia]

If you are still learning what objects are, plainer grammar books are probably more suitable.

But you could try it...

[pine ginkgo]

lol the passiv plusquamperfekt

[ocean robin]

I hope I still have the 2 books Arrem gave me the link.

[pine ginkgo]

and then using modalverben

i noped the fuck out of that tiem

[nocturne spruce]

That one was mitch

[pine ginkgo]

oh right

[nocturne spruce]

The 4 am one was an A-Level, but I can't remember who

[pine ginkgo]

then i was asleep probably

so good thing i missed it

[nocturne spruce]

It was my fault tbh, since he asked for a grammar book and I recommended hammer's

[ocean robin]

So what's the declension then?

[viscid cape]

Yeah you should've recommended duden's

[nocturne spruce]

Go about it in 3 steps flappy

1- Identify the case

[ocean robin]

Mann is uuuuuuh.

[nocturne spruce]

2- Identify whether it's a strong or weak adjective

3- Identify the appropriate ending

[ocean robin]

Not genitive because it's the deren which is.

[sudden panther]

And I already did 2 for you.

[nocturne spruce]

^

[ocean robin]

wat

Don't tell me the answer is in the screenshot

[nocturne spruce]

No

[pine ginkgo]

gets popcorn

[nocturne spruce]

It's in the paragraph he wrote:
After relative pronouns in genitive, we have to use the strong declension. You can kinda think that the relative pronoun isn't an article for the following noun, but a connector, and the noun remains there without any article, and defaults to the strong declension. So instead of doing deren dicke Mann, we have to pay attention to the actual case of the Mann in that sentence and apply the correct declension.

[ocean robin]

we have to use the strong declension

[nocturne spruce]

Yup

So go back to step 1

[ocean robin]

So no genitive.

[nocturne spruce]

yeah

[ocean robin]

I need to have the sentence wait

[sudden panther]

the Mann can't be genitive. Otherwise it would be Mannes. 😉

[ocean robin]

"The rich lady, whose fat husband I saw yesterday, bought me the pretty flowers that I told you about."

[cold vessel]

Learned that the hard way

[ocean robin]

True though Arrem.

[cold vessel]

Or the easy way 🤔

[ocean robin]

Can't be nominative then because the subject is "ich"

[nocturne spruce]

Correct

[ocean robin]

So sehen jemanden or jemandem?

I think it's Acc.

[nocturne spruce]

Final answer?

[ocean robin]

Direct object is der Mann.

So den Mann, so acc.

[nocturne spruce]

Good

Move to step 3

[ocean robin]

weeeee

[sudden panther]

Ayy Flops got something right.

[ocean robin]

Ayyy I am improving.

What's step 3 again?

[sudden panther]

Dammitflops.

[nocturne spruce]

Identify the ending

You could scroll up btw

[pine ginkgo]

floppsy, memories of a goldfish

[ocean robin]

-en?

she says without cheating

[sudden panther]

Why en of all the things? 🤔

[ocean robin]

🤷 thought that it was okay because I actually remembered that den: -en

[nocturne spruce]

Btw, try not using question marks when giving us answers

[ocean robin]

OH.

yeeeah strong declension

[sudden panther]

It is okay. I just wanted an explanation. 😛

[ocean robin]

Btw, try not using question marks when giving us answers

Arrem and Solet are witnesses that I do that everytime.

[nocturne spruce]

Therefore

Try

[pine ginkgo]

ask questions for things you want to know

do statements for things you want to do

ask things, when you need an answer to do stuff

do things to know if you are correct or not

[ocean robin]

So I think it's -en.

[nocturne spruce]

We'll still correct you either way, but questions make the corrector hesitate, since they can't know whether you think what you wrote is right or wrong

Ok, now write the full sentence

[ocean robin]

Die reiche Dame, deren dicken Mann ich gestern sah, hat mir die schönen Blumen gekauft, von denen ich dir erzählte.

pfffiou

[nocturne spruce]

Judges?

[ocean robin]

Solet, Arrem, we call for you.

[fair iron]

Not me? 😦

[nocturne spruce]

I give you a 6/10 for the full journey

[pine ginkgo]

i am not participating

[nocturne spruce]

Can you provide us with a score Luna?

[ocean robin]

Sorry Casca, forgot you. D:

[pine ginkgo]

i give you 10/10 for insanity inducing

[ocean robin]

And all the natives by the way.

[fair iron]

^^

[ocean robin]

OH WHAT WHO

[nocturne spruce]

That's the only correct answer actually

How long did this take btw

[ocean robin]

"Insanty inducing"

4 hours.

[fair iron]

Longer, actually.

That sentence is from last night. ^^

But you never gave up! ❤

[nocturne spruce]

4 hours and 36 minutes since the first translation

[ocean robin]

Yeee Casca. ❤

[nocturne spruce]

Not too bad, but you took too many pauses 😄

Either way, well done.

[ocean robin]

but you took too many pauses

That is called life.

[fair iron]

A girl's got to eat is the phrase, I think.

[nocturne spruce]

That's called slacking off, but sure

girk

[ocean robin]

Nuuuh, I wasn't slacking off. 😦

Eating, and then momma calling for me, stuff like that

[nocturne spruce]

I'm just messing with you flappy

You did well

[ocean robin]

[viscid cape]

"Teacher I wasn't slacking off, my collegue Piérre called me, and also Maria, Fleur, Georgia, Annette"

[ocean robin]

You know a lot about French names, don't you. 😛

[fair iron]

Jean-Luc.

[ocean robin]

Christian-Jean-Alexandre.

[fair iron]

Napoleon.

Louis.

[placid heath]

The most french name ever is Pierre

[ocean robin]

I go for 20 mins and then another translation.

[placid heath]

Or Monsieur Baguette

[ocean robin]

Classic, Casca, classic.

korea that reminds me Daniel's recording omg

[nocturne spruce]

I might join for the next translation, but I'll likely be busy

[ocean robin]

"baguette baguette"

[placid heath]

Honhonhon

[sudden panther]

Ay she did it.

[fair iron]

She always does.

[sudden panther]

Or does she? 🤔

Anyway, Floppser, I think we should take a more structured approach to this. Instead of just randomly translating sentences where you make a bunch of mistakes and are told a whole lot of new information that you promptly forget, we should try to focus on individual concepts until you get the hang of them. And not just through translations, but through exercises as well.

[nocturne spruce]

I agree with that

[hot cloak]

Hey

[nocturne spruce]

Hi

[sudden panther]

Mmm she isn't even here, nice.

[ocean robin]

Mmmh oki dokie.

[nocturne spruce]

Lol

[ocean robin]

Exercises then.

[sudden panther]

Want some now? 😛

[ocean robin]

YES

[sudden panther]

WER SCHREIT DA

[ocean robin]

LOL

[sudden panther]

Alrighto. We'll work by the book, but if you have questions or other things you'd like to focus on or learn about (e.g. school things), feel free to tell us. I'll take the liberty of skipping the first 4 chapters because they're memes and seeing what you know about imperatives. Have you seen them before?

[cold vessel]

What book?

[ocean robin]

Imperative? Like "SLEEP NOW"?

[cold vessel]

Yes, but ignore that one 😛

[ocean robin]

okay

[sudden panther]

http://www.prsformusicfoundation.com/docs/408/Schenke - Seago - Basic German.pdf That one. You might already be past it, though.

[ocean robin]

215 pages

Oh, and you think so?

[sudden panther]

I was talking to hen. 😛

[ocean robin]

[sudden panther]

As for you, I don't know. It contains the basics and we've already mentioned 90% of the things in it, but I'd still like to go over everything slowly again, just to make sure that you have a solid foundation.

Anyway, do you know which three forms the imperative can take?

[viscid cape]

I agree with arrem though, step-by-step knowledge building is better than trying to learn new concepts based on exercises.

[cold vessel]

@sudden panther That's doubtful

[viscid cape]

Which is why you should pay attention to class, Fläpporz

Even if you find it too eez.

And possibly read additional material, like the one the wiener dude has recommended

[ocean robin]

Bur subordinating clauses

[pine ginkgo]

answer arrem, flaps

[ocean robin]

wew he questioned me?

[sudden panther]

Anyway, do you know which three forms the imperative can take?

[ocean robin]

3 forms? You mean du, sie and uuuh I forgot the 3rd. I wanted to say wir but saying an order to ourselves is odd.

[sudden panther]

Also, unless you're a criminal, I asked you a question instead of questioning you. 😉

[ocean robin]

[sudden panther]

Ordering ourselves is indeed weird. Although it can be 'faked'. Any other guesses?

[ocean robin]

I'd go with du/ihr/sie. I think.

[sudden panther]

Correcto. Except it's Sie and not sie. The polite form of you has the imperative, not she/they.

[ocean robin]

Oh yeah.

[sudden panther]

So, let's try translating eat more vegetables to all of those three forms. We'll start with the du.

[ocean robin]

Good you just put essen which is a strong verb. Arrem clever.

[sudden panther]

Blame the book. I don't feel like making up my own examples this late. 😛

[ocean robin]

I wanted to say "aß" and then I was like "did I invent a new word again"

[twilit garden]

aß
Ass
Aas

three different words

[ocean robin]

wew

gotta learn

[sudden panther]

^None of which are what you're looking for. Check the conjugator if you're not sure.

conj essen

[viral thunder]

http://conjugator.reverso.net/conjugation-german-verb-essen.html

[ocean robin]

Waw and me who actually thought it was dat.

Bleh iß. Essen you fokken strong verb.

[sudden panther]

Except the site is weird and iß shouldn't be listed first because it's the old spelling. Use iss instead. ß should only come after long vowels.

[viscid cape]

Yus or diphthongs

[ocean robin]

Ah.

So iss/isst/essen Sie mehr Gemüse?

[pine ginkgo]

flaps

is that a question

or an answer.

[quasi merlin]

Read the site again.

[nocturne spruce]

Write the three sentences

[ocean robin]

[cold vessel]

Why does it list the first person plural? Thought that wasn't a thing in imperative

[ocean robin]

I actually tried to not do that, Mika, and then I will see again

[fair iron]

Dors bien. I'm off.

[nocturne spruce]

[quasi merlin]

Good night, Casca.

[viscid cape]

Good night @fair iron

[ocean robin]

But actually seeing that I forgoy about imperative makes me a little bit sad. I learnt it months ago and mastered it. Holidays really killed my German.

Good night Casca.

[viscid cape]

@cold vessel It's equivalent to English let's ...

[ocean robin]

Wow it's esst instead of isst. 👀

[sudden panther]

You'd usually fake the imperative for 1st person plural using lass uns.

[pine ginkgo]

or if you are a strict parent

Wir gehen JETZT

[ocean robin]

You can't say I am almost B1 at this rate.

[pine ginkgo]

[ocean robin]

LEL

[sudden panther]

I never said that. 😛

[pine ginkgo]

yep

[quasi merlin]

You can't say I am almost B1 at this rate.

Less being sad, more learning.

[ocean robin]

[viscid cape]

Dat discipline.

[sudden panther]

Anyway Flops, yes, the imperative for the 2nd person plural is the same as the indicative form. It's only the 2nd person singular that actually varies.

[ocean robin]

I saw that and it helps.

[red pewter]

I just want to be A2 already T_T

german is hard

[sudden panther]

Man I don't know what I'm saying today. Krypt lifesaver. ❤

[viscid cape]

I work in the shadows.

[ocean robin]

Come here, A2-> B1 stuff here.

👀

[pine ginkgo]

eh.

i wouldn't go that far

[sudden panther]

When did we give you your A2 certificate? 😛

[ocean robin]

It's even A1 -> A2

[sudden panther]

In fact I don't recall giving you an A1 certificate either. 🤔

[ocean robin]

IDK guys you said I was A2.

[red pewter]

you give certificates :?

[ocean robin]

🤷

I will have 1 for English but not for German. And the tests online don't say whether you A1 or A2.

[viscid cape]

@red pewter We're just teasing 😛

[red pewter]

I know ~600 words so I'm hoping i'm firmly in A1 now. But eh if I'm not it's only been 4 weeks and I'll just have to work harder

[pine ginkgo]

don't worry, just keep learning

[ocean robin]

If you know even 1 word you're A1.

[pine ginkgo]

it will all come

[sudden panther]

@hot cloak Where's your Dannerd of the rich people certificate?

[red pewter]

thank you ❤

[cold vessel]

@ocean robin No

There are requirements for A1

[ocean robin]

The hell for real.

[sudden panther]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/226061545539371020/277942019375104000/SENTeacher-Certificate-1.png

[ocean robin]

Requirements? As introducing myself?

WTF

[sudden panther]

That's Dannerd's certificate.

[ocean robin]

Geeman D2 (best of the world)

[cold vessel]

Can understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases aimed at the satisfaction of needs of a concrete type. Can introduce themselves and others and can ask and answer questions about personal details such as where he/she lives, people they know and things they have. Can interact in a simple way provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help.

[ocean robin]

💯

[red pewter]

amazing

[ocean robin]

I can do that henburas.

[nocturne spruce]

There are no requirements to become an A1 learner, there are requirements for when have learned A1

[cold vessel]

What's the difference? 🤔

[ocean robin]

Now I want A2 requirements. And if I am not A2 then sad Floppsy will appear.

[nocturne spruce]

Beginning of course and end of course

[cold vessel]

Ok, with the edit I agree

[nocturne spruce]

Yeah, I noticed that it was confusing

[red pewter]

I don't know if i can talk about things I have...maybe a few things like "computer" "umbrella" "pillow" "cell phone"...

[cold vessel]

But you don't say "I am level N" if you just passed level N-1

You're learning level N sure

[ocean robin]

Ayyy look I ordered a meal in Germany. That was fokking stressful.

[nocturne spruce]

You are considered at an N level, once you are done with the first half of the level

[red pewter]

when i was in korea, i tried to order 4 chicken nuggets and accidentally ordered 40 D:

[cold vessel]

@nocturne spruce Is that an actual thing in the framework? 🤔

Or just for the tags on this server?

[nocturne spruce]

Not really

It's for the server

The Framework will identify you with the letter and number

[sudden panther]

Anyway Flops if you'd answer my question, maybe I'll give you an A1 certificate. 😛

[nocturne spruce]

since B1 and B2 as well as C1 and C2 varry a lot

[ocean robin]

[red pewter]

yeah i can't do that

[nocturne spruce]

like Riot and I have the same role, but I'm no where near as good in German

[ocean robin]

I can somehow

OKAY ARREM THEN I'LL BE A1 FOR SURE

[red pewter]

how long have you been learning flappy :?

[ocean robin]

2 years at school.

[red pewter]

wowza

[cold vessel]

At this point I feel like my vocabulary is holding me back a lot 😐

[ocean robin]

The 2 other years were just nothing.

[red pewter]

anki EVERYTHING

[nocturne spruce]

I know that feeling way too well @cold vessel

Way too well

[sudden panther]

But you don't say "I am level N" if you just passed level N-1
You do. Because passing the exam should be enough to prove that you have the knowledge required for the level. In practice, it may not, because you only need like 60% to pass, but still. It's a good measure. What you shouldn't do is give yourself the Level C role as soon as you start taking a C level class. Well actually you'd say I'm level N-1, not I'm level N.

[red pewter]

i've been banking about 150 words a week with anki

[pine ginkgo]

the vocabulary will come

if you use the language

[sudden panther]

Flops. Less talking, more doing?

[nocturne spruce]

Yeah, it does improve quickly, especially if you're surrounded by the language

[ocean robin]

• Iss mehr Gemüse.
• Esst mehr Gemüse.
• Essen Sie mehr Gemüse.

"�eat more vegetables, if you please"

[red pewter]

I just want to go back to germany and not sound like a potato T_T

[pine ginkgo]

i wouldnt worry too much about vocabulary, until you really have to use it

as long as you know how to look up words

[sudden panther]

What's the last one in English supposed to be? 🤔

[ocean robin]

dict.cc everywhere

The last one? Eh, uuuh, how to say that.

Ah in English?

[shy bobcat]

hey 😄 😄 😄 let’s do some translatearoonis

[sudden panther]

Yes. The imperative is a command. There's no "if you please" involved, unless you actually say so.

[ocean robin]

No, that was a joke

[viscid cape]

@shy bobcat First learn German

Fkn noob.

[shy bobcat]

tru

[ocean robin]

:v

[viscid cape]

"if you please" was golden though

I liked it

[sudden panther]

Okay. Let's do one more. Again, give me all 3 forms.
I'd like to see listen closely
And since I don't care about translations, use zuhören for listen and genau for closely. 😛

[ocean robin]

No problem

Closely for genau lel.

wait whhhy seperable verbs ;u;

[sudden panther]

Because we have to see how well you handle those. 😉

[quasi merlin]

Just do what you think is right.

[ocean robin]

Just... listen to your instinct.

LOL

[cold vessel]

@shy bobcat Do the really awkward sentence I posted earlier today

[shy bobcat]

which one

I’ve been away since a while now

[cold vessel]

Tbh it's probably way too easy for you

[sudden panther]

Make a more awkwardererer one!

[ocean robin]

Höre genau zu / Hört genau zu / Hören sie genau zu.

[sudden panther]

Now find the mistake.

[shy bobcat]

just give me the awkward sentence

[cold vessel]

The nice young man that you met yesterday went to the run-down store on the corner with his new friend to buy his favorite white chocolate because they had already eaten it all, but unfortunately it was sold out, so they went home empty-handed

How do you get more awkward than this 🤔

[ocean robin]

Mistake ™

[pine ginkgo]

that's the version with the mistake

you fokken noob henbri

[ocean robin]

Oh my god thay sentence

[quasi merlin]

Can you translate that in #general

[ocean robin]

LOL

[sudden panther]

Flops, what's wrong with your sentences?

[cold vessel]

No one saw that 😅

[ocean robin]

I have no idea.

[shy bobcat]

I did 👀

[sudden panther]

Check again. Pay attention to everything.

[shy bobcat]

The nice young man that you met yesterday went to the run-down store on the corner with his new friend to buy his favorite white chocolate because they had already eaten it all, but unfortunately it was sold out, so they went home empty-handed

Der nette junge Mann, den du gestern kennengelernt hast, ist mit einem neuen Freund von ihm zum abgewohnten Laden an der Ecke gegangen, um seine Lieblingsweißschockolade zu kaufen, weil sie alles davon schon gegessen hatten, aber leider war sie ausverkauft, also sind sie mit leeren Händen nach Hause gegangen.

@cold vessel

[sudden panther]

Find the imperatives Floppo.

[ocean robin]

"Kennengelernt"

exCuse mE whAt

Passt Arrem. There's one. And I am even not sure.

[shy bobcat]

👍

[sudden panther]

Almost correct, but incomplete.

[shy bobcat]

well, we don’t have to be too technicall, fløppr got it already, basically

[sudden panther]

We do though. 😛

[ocean robin]

"Passt auf."

[sudden panther]

Yes. Aufpassen.

oh

[ocean robin]

the hekl arrem are you lost in YT again

[quasi merlin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oy-3KI2eHi4

[cold vessel]

@shy bobcat Apparently "Lieblingsweißschockolade" doesn't work

[ocean robin]

hint

[cold vessel]

Because "weißschockolade" isn't a thing

[quasi merlin]

"Schockolade" 🤔

[ocean robin]

Because YOU SHOULD STOP SPOILING.

[viscid cape]

Lazy town is some crazy shit.

[ocean robin]

[shy bobcat]

wait, how would you say it @quasi merlin

[sudden panther]

Alright Floppso, there isn't really much more to the imperative, so I'd say you know it. We'll quiz you again in a few days though. 😛

[ocean robin]

Sure.

[shy bobcat]

Besides the spelling

Schokolade*

[pine ginkgo]

we'd normally just leave out the weiße

or

[viscid cape]

You'd better remember it when you're asked about it, otherwise...

[pine ginkgo]

(mikuh inc)

[shy bobcat]

but it’s speciffically favourite white chocolate

[sudden panther]

So, more or are you gonna go to bed? 😛

[quasi merlin]

"white chocolate" is "weiße Schokolade", but you can't really attach "Lieblings-" to that.

[shy bobcat]

Lieblingsscheißschokolade

[ocean robin]

LOL WHAT

[cold vessel]

@shy bobcat Fun fact, this is basically impossible to say in Norwegian. Dunno about Danish

[quasi merlin]

So you'd probably do what Luna said and leave out the "white" part.

[shy bobcat]

ok

[ocean robin]

Arrem, I'll think I'll go to bed.

[sudden panther]

Disappointing. Shameless. Awful.

[shy bobcat]

so, you literally cannot say a “favourite (adjective) X” in German?

[ocean robin]

But I WAKE UP AT 5 AM TOMMOROW

DAMN.

[sudden panther]

Alrighto Flops, you did good today. Good nighto and see you tomorrow.

[quasi merlin]

No, you can't, Arizona.

[viscid cape]

Good night foxy fox, see you tomorow.

[shy bobcat]

RIP

[ocean robin]

Ah thankies Arrem. See ya everyone.

[quasi merlin]

Good night, Fläppers.

[shy bobcat]

@quasi merlin so how would you phrase “her favourite blue dress”, “ihr Lieblingskleid, das blau ist”?

[cold vessel]

You can say "his preferred white chocolate" 🤷

[quasi merlin]

Btw. I'd prefer "heruntergekommen" for "run-down", what do you think, @pine ginkgo ?

[pine ginkgo]

klingt gut

mikuh klug

quasi

mikluh

[sudden panther]

Also, given that the whole bully Flops squad is here now, a little PSA for you all, after some serious discussion™ we've decided to change our approach
Anyway, Floppser, I think we should take a more structured approach to this. Instead of just randomly translating sentences where you make a bunch of mistakes and are told a whole lot of new information that you promptly forget, we should try to focus on individual concepts until you get the hang of them. And not just through translations, but through exercises as well.
We're using that old book thingo, so when bullying Flops, ask her what she did last time and do either that or the next thing in the book. http://www.prsformusicfoundation.com/docs/408/Schenke - Seago - Basic German.pdf Take small steps and don't give her sentences where she can make a billion mistakes at the same time.

Except Casca I guess, so @fair iron ^

[quasi merlin]

"ihr Lieblingskleid, welches blau ist"

[pine ginkgo]

in b4 there will b a secret flops role

and secret flops channel

[viscid cape]

Can you say" Betäubungsmittelverschreibungsverordnung"? Yes, excellent German, mein Herr, everything okay. Can you say "Lieblingsweißschokolade" though? OMG NO, that sounds terrible, terrible German.

[shy bobcat]

aww but bullying flops’ 500 mistakes is fun

[sudden panther]

I almost made one when that guy kept spoiling things. Fortunately he stopped. 😛

[shy bobcat]

that guy

😔

[sudden panther]

I don't mean you. 😛

[ocean robin]

[shy bobcat]

🤔

[quasi merlin]

GO TO SLEEP!

[sudden panther]

There was a native that just gave away the correct answers because he "didn't care".

[viscid cape]

This book is pretty cool

Fläppers you should read all of it, I mean it

And do all exercises

[pine ginkgo]

i wish i could stop caring about flops

[toxic urchin]

[quasi merlin]

Go.

Sleep.

[ocean robin]

wow such discipline

[viscid cape]

Wow Solet it makes FAIL as an acronym. Is that intentional.

uuuuwa what

[quasi merlin]

You bet it is.

[shy bobcat]

of course it is

[ocean robin]

[shy bobcat]

[pine ginkgo]

oh wow

it does

[ocean robin]

bullying ™

[pine ginkgo]

what curious happenstance

[shy bobcat]

I was about to say, that placement of “internal” feels a bit off

[ocean robin]

LOL

[shy bobcat]

but obviously it wouldn’t be FAIL if you moved it

[pine ginkgo]

i have a better version

Flopser Appraisal Integrated Learning

[ocean robin]

Anyway goooood night you lovely bullies. ❤

[quasi merlin]

Good night again.

[sudden panther]

Night Floppo.

[shy bobcat]

It is time to remind Arrem to give the Flopppelops a hand made certificate for reaching a certain level, so a notification should be send to Arrem.

(since i was too lazy to make it more advanced)

[sudden panther]

This is like the Daniel challenge in French. I bet all he's saying is "I like being young because I've been young all my life. And I'm good at being young. I've never been old. Because I'm young. Yeah."

Es ist die Zeit, Arrem zu erinnern, Floppelops ein handgemachtes Zertifikat (oder Zeugnis?) zu geben, weil sie ein bestimmtes Niveau erreicht hat, also sollte eine Benachrichtung (oder Erwähnung?) zu Arrem gesendet werden.

are thise the only mistakes?

my mum is totally gonna know I got this corrected shiit

oh well

[pine ginkgo]

good job teeeis

one minor thing

which is... not necessarily a mistake

but

something we do

[ocean robin]

And then it's correct. :)

[shy bobcat]

can you tell me which of the two parentheses’d words was correct

[hot cloak]

woopdidoo

[pine ginkgo]

both

[shy bobcat]

I kinda put two guesses in

[viscid cape]

"Not necessarily a mistake but something we do if we want to be correct"

[shy bobcat]

@viscid cape so a stylistic thing

[pine ginkgo]

drop the artikel für zeit

[marble glade]

"parce que je peux faire CE que je veux"

[ocean robin]

wow I am tired

[marble glade]

@hot cloak

[shy bobcat]

@viscid cape like, in portuguese “eu sou ari” you don’t need a eu but it’s correct with or without

[ocean robin]

oh yeah he dropped the "ce"

[viscid cape]

@marble glade isn't tired, you shouldn't be tired either

[hot cloak]

I'll remember that for the future

[ocean robin]

👀

[pine ginkgo]

you read me, teeeis?

[thick charm]

Yeah, it's just like in English. "It's time" and "Es ist Zeit" both usually go without an article.

[hot cloak]

but I think I'll leave it out of this one

[viscid cape]

@shy bobcat Since when do you know that

[hot cloak]

cuz my mum would definitely know I got this checked

[shy bobcat]

@viscid cape Google

[ocean robin]

[shy bobcat]

and Spanish

[viscid cape]

@shy bobcat Shush and answer Luna

[shy bobcat]

@thick charm yeah, but you germans like your articles

[cold vessel]

Are you being home schooled, Daniel?

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo yes

[marble glade]

@hot cloak Tu peux remplacer tous les "bon" par "bien"

[sudden panther]

No.

[marble glade]

on dit "C'est bien d'être jeune" et pas "C'est bon d'être jeune"

[sudden panther]

But his parents work at his school, so yes.

[pine ginkgo]

you can use the artikel in phrases like

"Die Zeit ist gekommen"/"Es ist die Zeit gekommen"

[quasi merlin]

Or "Es ist an der Zeit"

[ocean robin]

@marble glade Ça se dit tho

oh, mikluh!

[ocean robin]

FLOPPSING LOL I CAN'T

[quasi merlin]

I do the opposite.

I type "dass" instead of "das".

After commas

[shy bobcat]

tbh, I’m not sure which one I do more often

[sudden panther]

In whatsoever mode, or by whatsoever means, our knowledge may relate
to objects, it is at least quite clear that the only manner in which it
immediately relates to them is by means of an intuition. To this as the
indispensable groundwork, all thought points. But an intuition can take
place only in so far as the object is given to us. This, again, is only
possible, to man at least, on condition that the object affect the
mind in a certain manner. The capacity for receiving representations
(receptivity) through the mode in which we are affected by objects,
objects, is called sensibility. By means of sensibility, therefore,
objects are given to us, and it alone furnishes us with intuitions; by
the understanding they are thought, and from it arise conceptions. But
an thought must directly, or indirectly, by means of certain signs,
relate ultimately to intuitions; consequently, with us, to sensibility,
because in no other way can an object be given to us.

Go teeis.

[shy bobcat]

ahh

[viscid cape]

That's Kant

Tldr pls

I don’t even know what the original text is saying 😅

[sudden panther]

It is indeed Kant. Nice. 👌

[torn latch]

[ocean robin]

WOOOO CHUCKERINA

[shy bobcat]

well, the original english text, since I’m pretty sure Kant was actually German

[ocean robin]

and bye.

[sudden panther]

I took the first paragraph from Kritik der reinen Vernunft. 😛

[ocean robin]

@ocean robin Shouldn't you be sleeping? Geez.

[marble glade]

@ocean robin Oui ça se dit mais grammaticalement c'est mieux aha, c'est plus familier de dire "C'est bon d'être jeune" 😉

[shy bobcat]

I am 99 percent sure I’m gonna end up using the word for “blood vessel” or “vessel” as in a boat already, since I’m using the power of the dictionary

[quasi merlin]

Let's just ignore her if she comes back again.

[pine ginkgo]

i mean

just by context

you should know the correct vessel

😦

[shy bobcat]

I know what they mean

[pine ginkgo]

i hope

😦

if you end with a ship

[shy bobcat]

I just know I’m gonna select a wrong word because I’m a blitering idiot

[pine ginkgo]

then... it might be fun

[shy bobcat]

well yeah luckily all the nautical ones ended in Schiff and Wasserfahrzeug and stuff like that
