imagine

#

you have like 100 cats

#

you want to observe

#

to get a further observation of an individual cat

#

you take a sample of the population

#

let's say

#

you take one of those cats

#

and that cat is your sample

placid heath
#

🐱

shy bobcat
#

yeah thx korea I had forgotten what a cat was

#

😄

pine ginkgo
#

(can also take more cats than that, depending on your sample size)

shy bobcat
#

@pine ginkgo
After noticing that they have just come to life, the biologist quickly prepared a suitable vessel to sample the new population of her secretly raised species of especially adorable cats.

Nachdem sie bemerkt hat, dass sie gerade lebendig geworden sind, hat die Biologistin schnell ein passendes Behältnis dafür bereitet, um von ihrer im Geheim großgezogenen Art von besonders liebenswerten Katzen eine Probe zu zeigen.

#

be as harsh as you’d like, I’m not terribly confident either

#

😅

pine ginkgo
#

eh, i would take another word vor prepare

viscid cape
#

von ihrer though? 🤔

pine ginkgo
#

also consider, if you really need the dafür

#

what does it refer to anyway?

shy bobcat
#

the following clause

pine ginkgo
#

but do you need it?

shy bobcat
#

I’m never sure.

pine ginkgo
#

why is it there?

shy bobcat
#

Sometimes it seems like you do, sometimes it seems like you don’t.

pine ginkgo
#

also check your declensions

viscid cape
#

I always add da-compounds too, regardless of need eyeslol

pine ginkgo
#

for geheim

#

also not zu zeigen

#

she doesn't want to show her samples

#

she wants to make one

#

but since you said you had problems with

#

eine (Stich-)Probe nehmen

shy bobcat
#

Nachdem sie bemerkt hat, dass sie gerade lebendig geworden sind, hat die Biologistin schnell ein passendes Behältnis hergestellt, um von ihrer im Geheimen großgezogenen Art von besonders liebenswerten Katzen eine Probe zu nehmen.

pine ginkgo
#

nice

shy bobcat
#

so, when are and aren’t da words necessary, since it feels like sometimes they are

pine ginkgo
#

btw

#

the dafür wasn't wrong

#

but it just wasn't necessary

#

wait

shy bobcat
#

yeah, I just put them in because they sometimes are

viscid cape
#

I don't understand the von ihrer part, can someone explain

pine ginkgo
#

mhh

shy bobcat
#

and so better to have too many than too little

#

the verb is “von etw. eine Probe zu nehmen”

pine ginkgo
#

well i told you i gave you creative freedom

quasi merlin
#

But Biologistin is not a word.

pine ginkgo
#

but i expected you to take vorbereiten for prepare

shy bobcat
#

oh rip

pine ginkgo
#

oh fuck

#

mikah so klug und aufmerksam

#

x.x

shy bobcat
#

is it just “die Biologist”?

pine ginkgo
#

hint

#

it's Der Biologe

shy bobcat
#

die Biologin

#

👍

quasi merlin
#

Bingo!

pine ginkgo
#

overall i am quite happy with your translation

shy bobcat
#

Nachdem sie bemerkt hat, dass sie gerade lebendig geworden sind, hat die Biologin schnell ein passendes Behältnis hergestellt, um von ihrer im Geheimen großgezogenen Art von besonders liebenswerten Katzen eine Probe zu nehmen.

viscid cape
#

"the verb is “von etw. eine Probe zu nehmen”" Still don't get it though 😦

quasi merlin
#

Use vorbereiten for to prepare and it's 👌

shy bobcat
#

🤔 what’s the difference between bereiten and vorbereiten

sudden panther
#

Aww look at Luna being nice.

pine ginkgo
#

meh

#

the only mistake i would really have ranted about

shy bobcat
#

even though I said “tear into this one, I don’t think I did terribly great either” lel

pine ginkgo
#

would the failing the declension for geheimen

#

because i expect people to get their declensions right at that point

#

but meh

#

the rest was nice

#

so it was soothing

shy bobcat
#

I’ll repeat my question lel
🤔 what’s the difference between bereiten and vorbereiten

quasi merlin
#

"bereiten" is ... errrrr

pine ginkgo
#

eh

quasi merlin
#

different

pine ginkgo
#

.... kinda like

#

uh

#

to cause?

shy bobcat
#

vorbereiten felt in my mind like “have it ready a decent while before it’s needed” but I guess not?

pine ginkgo
#

i am thinking of jdm Ärger bereiten

#

🤔

quasi merlin
#

You can use it with some things where it means "to prepare" but it's not as universal.

pine ginkgo
#

bereiten generally is not used tooooo much

shy bobcat
#

it just seemed so logical, bereit means ready, bereiten means make ready, there you go

#

😅

quasi merlin
#

I think

#

@viscid cape had a question

shy bobcat
#

yeah

#

the whole “von ihrer etc etc.”

#

IDK how to explain it except “that’s the verb phrase” lel

pine ginkgo
#

well, it's actually the explanation

#

though simple

#

:P

shy bobcat
#

yeah I guess maybe he’s getting confused by all the crap separating ihrer and its noun?

#

because in english all that stuff goes after the noun

viscid cape
#

Nevermind, I'll just search on my own

sudden panther
#

y'all failed 😮

pine ginkgo
#

the english is

sudden panther
#

I actually don't get the question. What's unclear about it?

pine ginkgo
#

take a sample of the new population of her cats thingies

#

etc

#

so

#

and the verb is

#

eine Probe von etwas nehmen

#

so

#

well

#

arizona switched the her up to the previous term

shy bobcat
#

...von ihrer im Geheimen großgezogenen Art ... Katzen...

...of her species of .... cats raised in secret....

pine ginkgo
#

but it does not really matter

shy bobcat
#

at least that’s how I’d back translate it

pine ginkgo
#

welllll

#

you changed the location if her

#

actually

#

let me think about this

shy bobcat
#

of her secretly raised species of especially adorable cats.
that’s the original

pine ginkgo
#

yeah

shy bobcat
#

in which the secretly raised is actually positioned as it is in my German

pine ginkgo
#

i was thinking differently

shy bobcat
#

🤔

pine ginkgo
#

sorry

shy bobcat
#

meh it’s ok

pine ginkgo
#

#

quasi merlin

Sorry, I was thinking of 'ihrer' as a pronoun rather than a determiner

#

I'm an idiot

#

Thanks.

Quote - Arrem:

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.

sudden panther
#

We wait for her to come back and then we spam her with exercises and make fun of her until she cries and loses all hope until she learns stuff.

#

Long term, when we're done with that book, we should be sure that she has an understanding of the basics. And then we can move onto the intermediate one.
I did some imperative thingos with her yesterday. We can give her another exercise or something and then move on.

pine ginkgo

you should have only strikethrougiert the loses all hope

crying is fine mmlol

shy bobcat

Half of me wants to not bully flöps because I used to be a level too but half of me has fun with it 😅

fair iron
#

Were you bullied back then, Arizona?

#

Or you, Base?

opal sequoia
#

You need to learn to be bullied more, all you B levels.

#

In this sense? Yes.

sudden panther
#

Arizona is still being bullied, silly Casca.

cold vessel
#

Bullying the Bs should be easier, because when they make A level mistakes you can really rip into them 😄

opal sequoia
#

Yes, definitely.

shy bobcat
#

I wasn't even on when I was A

opal sequoia

But a lot of them get very distressed when you criticize them, you see. "Oh noo, I made a mistake. Woe is me!"

Translate Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, Arizona. ❤


Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.```

So does anyone know a good dictionary for Flops that would also show her the case that her verbs take.

That's good. Tell her about it.

opal sequoia
#

Is there any case where "telling someone" would have the "someone" as accusative in German?

shy bobcat
#

Don't think so

thick charm
#

No, because the thing you're telling already has to be in implied accusative

shy bobcat
#

Aye that's what I.was thinking

sudden panther
#

Of course there is! Have you not read Flops' sentences? 😛

viscid cape
#

That doesn't work for fragen though

#

🤔

shy bobcat
#

Lol

opal sequoia

Yeah, but I thought there could be some situation where you're not telling someone something but "telling them". I mean it doesn't make sense, but I can't assume. 😄

hot cloak
#

@sudden panther linguee has that actually

#

see the Akk ?

quasi merlin
#

The Akk. is for "sagen"

#

Not "erzählen"

shy bobcat

That's also the thing you're telling

opal sequoia
#

Yeah.

shy bobcat

Not the person you're tell to

yeah on erzählen which is above it

it doesn't have the Akk

I suppose if you want to say you're "tellong on" somebody

hot cloak

Heyo

You could make the case that the translation will have to be with accusative

But you wouldn't translate that with erzählen

but with verraten

Flops. Rewrite your sentence and think about the cases. Look them up and find example sentences if you're not sure. If you're still not sure, ask us. Don't just default to accusative. 😛

"Johnny, tell your father that I say, 'Stop working on your silly projects so often, and come in and help me!'"

But I really thought it was Acc mmlol

well scolling up I sae that erzählen wasn't the appropriate word. Thanks for spoiling. mmlol

And also, yeah I don't know how to use a dictionary properly. Flops just uses the word which she thinks she can use without making any new mistakes. 🤔

#

`Vor siebenundachtzig Jahren haben unsere Väter auf diesem Kontinent eine neue in Freiheit erdachte Nation gebracht, und zum Vorlagen engagiert, dass alle Menschen gleich geschöpft sind.

Jetzt sind wir in einem großen Bürgerkrieg engagiert, um zu prüfen, ob jene Nation, oder irgendeine so erdachte und zugeordnete Nation, sich lange erhalten kann. Wir sind auf einem großen Kampffeld dieses Kriegs zusammengekommen. Wir sind gekommen, um ein Teil jenes Feldes als Endruheplatz für die zuzuordnen, die hier ihr Leben gegeben haben, damit unsere Nation noch leben mag. Es ist insgesamt passend und richtig, dass wir dies machen sollten.

Aber in größerem Sinne können wir diesen Grund nicht zuordnen - nicht einweihen - nicht heiligen. Die tapferen Männer, am Leben und tot, die hier gekämpft haben, haben ihn weit über unserer armen Macht hinzuzufügen oder zu entziehen eingeweiht. Die Welt wird kaum bemerken, auch sich nicht lange daran erinnern, was wir hier sagen, aber sie kann niemals das vergessen, was sie hier getan haben. Es ist stattdessen für uns Lebende hier, hier zur unbeendeten Arbeit zugeordnet zu sein, für die sie bisher so edel fortgeschritten haben, die hier gekämpft haben. Es ist stattdessen für uns zur großen Aufgabe engagiert zu sein, die noch vor uns bleibt -- dass wir von diesen geehrten Toten erhöhte Hingabe zu jener Sache nehmen, für die sie die allergrößte Maßnahme der Hingabe gegeben haben -- dass wir uns hier hoch beschließen, dass diese Tote nicht sinnlos gestorben sind -- dass diese Nation unter Gott eine neue Geburt in der Freiheit haben soll -- und dass die Regierung des Volkes, vom Volke, für das Volk, nicht aus der Erde aussterben soll. `

Hm. You're technically allowed to move the partizip if you have another clause in the middle, but I'm not sure if that works with direct quotes. 🤔

While we're changing words, let's change the stoppen as well, because that isn't as common in German.

whole rapids

What is the sentence she was given today? So I can add it to my list

shy bobcat
#

we were gonna change the sentences we give, to be a bit less random, but the base structure of the transl8erooni game is still the same

I saw... your discussion yesterday. And saw that you still need it because you love seeing me struggling.

We are changing that. She did imperative exercises yesterday and I just wanted to give her a sentence to make sure that she gets the concept. Then Arizona went a tiny bit overboard. 😛

"So often"?

@sudden panther you want imperatives, I gave imperatives

ehh

I used a different word myself

Oooor "aushören" mmlol

Halten isn't for actions. A bus can halten.

a trennbar one 😏

Aushören doesn't exist. 😏

the right word is extremely close tho

#

😏

ocean robin
#

Aufhören.

shy bobcat
#

brave flaps

sudden panther
#

That would certainly be a lot better.

ocean robin
#

yayies

shy bobcat
#

that's the word I used 😏

sudden panther
#

But. Flops. Let's do a simpler one first, to help you avoid a mistake.

cold vessel
#

Weird, that is a word in Norwegian. Those prefixed verbs are almost always the same 🤔

sudden panther
#

Translate "Stop crying".

#

Use weinen.

ocean robin

#

What's that thing that modal verbs don't need, but all other verbs do, when combined with others?

ocean robin
#

dat zu again ?

fair iron
#

I try, Kryptik.

ocean robin
#

WHAI ZU HERE GOD.

shy bobcat
#

because aufhören is not a modal verb

ocean robin
sudden panther
#

Yes. That zu again. The correct version would thus be hör auf zu weinen. Because you're combining the aufhören with another verb. And aufhören isn't modal.

shy bobcat
#

Hör niemals auf zu versuchen, flöps 😄

ocean robin
#

👀

sudden panther
#

Keeping that in mind, go fix your sentence.

ocean robin
#

the heck wait whai is auf here and not in the end

#

#confused_flops

shy bobcat
#

because it's at the end of the clause

sudden panther
#

Because it's kinda like two clauses. Hör auf | zu weinen

shy bobcat
#

hör auf, zu weinen

ocean robin
#

AAH.

shy bobcat
#

@sudden panther can I just post my attempt at the sentence or do we keep torturing floop
