[ocean robin]

Why a comma then?

[shy bobcat]

because

[fair iron]

I have, Arrem.

[ocean robin]

life reasons

[thick charm]

Peter hat sich entschlossen

is the main clause

[shy bobcat]

that ohne ... denken clause is splitting a clause

[fair iron]

However, Flappy wanted a sentence, so I obliged.

[ocean robin]

Let me do that. And no I won't do as fast as you did lel.

[sudden panther]

Floppy doesn't know what's good for her. Us explaining 234523454 mistakes at the same time just leads to her forgetting about all of them the next day. Which is why I'm pushing for a more structured approach.

[thick charm]

I vote Arrem

[shy bobcat]

Ich wähle Arrem

🗳

[pine ginkgo]

arrem, what's the category?

[sudden panther]

2 votes for Arrem. Beat that memerkel.

[ocean robin]

The category is ahem.

[pine ginkgo]

oh, there's none?

[sudden panther]

Questions come next in the book. 🤔

[shy bobcat]

Arrem für Deutschlernserver wait never mind that's afd lel

[ocean robin]

Not genitive.

[sudden panther]

Can you ask a question Flops? 😛

[cold vessel]

Mutti Arrem

[ocean robin]

That depends.

[opal sequoia]

Ask us a question in German, Flappy.

Any question, it doesn't matter.

[sudden panther]

And when you do that, go ahead and do this https://i.imgur.com/DDNjorL.png

[ocean robin]

exercie coming ™

[sudden panther]

all you want, but you're doing it. 😉

[opal sequoia]

Warum wohnen Sie?

[ocean robin]

LOL

[thick charm]

Why even bother

[sudden panther]

Even though I have to run for a bit. Hands his teacher hat over to Ba- nevermind hands his teacher hat over to Chuck

[ocean robin]

[thick charm]

But I'm eating calzone

I'm in full Italian mode right now

[shy bobcat]

give the teacher hat to me

[sudden panther]

Arizona. You've been promoted. Congratulations.

Rekt.

[opal sequoia]

😶

[shy bobcat]

flöps, vorbereite dich für eine Welt des Schmerzen

[sudden panther]

Demoted.

[thick charm]

demoted

and banned

[shy bobcat]

😶

[thick charm]

the edit just made it worse

smh

[opal sequoia]

I'm only paying attention onand off anyway cause I'm studying linked C structures. 🙀

[shy bobcat]

yay @thick charm

[cold vessel]

Are you C in C yet, base?

[shy bobcat]

@thick charm wait so what's the genitive of schmerz

[thick charm]

des Schmerzes or der Schmerzen

[shy bobcat]

😶

[thick charm]

also vorbereiten is a seperable verb

"Bereite dich auf eine Welt des Schmerzes vor"

[shy bobcat]

😩

[cold vessel]

😂

[shy bobcat]

much nicer

unsurprisingly

[opal sequoia]

Still A1 in C, henbruas. 😔

[lavish saddle]

Awww, you'll get there soon, Base xD

Soon you'll be a C in C

[ocean robin]

that wall of text omg.

Wo wohnen Sie? / Was ist Ihre E-Mail-Adresse? / Was arbeiten Sie? / Was sind Sie von Beruf? / Woher kommen Sie eigentlich? / Wie viel kostet das? / Wann beginnt das Konzert? / Wie viel Uhr ist es? / Wie viele Einwohner hat Deutschland?

[lavish saddle]

🤔 Was arbeiten Sie? wut

[pine ginkgo]

Was arbeiten sie

🤔

[cold vessel]

Use line breaks 👀

[ocean robin]

[lavish saddle]

what are you trying to type there?

[ocean robin]

wot I knew somethinf like this had to come.

[lavish saddle]

all of the others seem fine

just that one o.O

[ocean robin]

lel I just noticed

[thick charm]

It works, theoretically. Just needs an 'als.'

[ocean robin]

🤔

[thick charm]

'As what are you working?'

[fair iron]

2. Correct.
3. Correct.
4. Incorrect.
5. Correct.
6. Correct.
7. Correct.
8. Correct.
9. Correct.
10. Correct.

Almost, Flappy.

[ocean robin]

whooo.

8/9.

[opal sequoia]

Flappy, what did you think the sentence was that you got wrong?

In English.

[ocean robin]

At first, I was thinking "what do you work" and then I find it weird as well

[opal sequoia]

Yeah.

What other question words do you think you could put into the German version of that sentence, Flappy?

[cold vessel]

Is "What do you work as" valid English?

[opal sequoia]

Yes.

[ocean robin]

Ah, where?

Where do you work?

[opal sequoia]

___ arbeiten Sie?

[fair iron]

^

[thick charm]

warum

[fair iron]

Go, Flappy!

😄

[opal sequoia]

Wie?

[ocean robin]

LOL

[fair iron]

That too, Chuck. 😛

[thick charm]

"wieso überhaupt"

[fair iron]

Wieso, weshalb, warum, weswegen, wofür.

[thick charm]

wer nicht fragt bleibt dumm

[cold vessel]

Wo tun Sie arbeiten?

[ocean robin]

LOL WHAT

[thick charm]

fckn anglicisms

[ocean robin]

Wo arbeiten Sie?

yayies

[opal sequoia]

Where do you come from?
What is your e-mail address?
What is the time?
Are you married?
Do you have children?
Do you speak English?```

Now do those, Flappy.

[ocean robin]

Sure thingo.

[opal sequoia]

Good work btw. 🌞

[thick charm]

Yeah, well done

[ocean robin]

Thankies. 😃

[thick charm]

Also for the sake of this

translate literally

so the first one isn't "wie heißt du" or "wie heißen sie?"

Because that would be cheating

[cold vessel]

Does the 4th one make sense as a literal translation?

[thick charm]

not really, no

[viscid cape]

can you say bürgen für instead of wählen?

[thick charm]

no

bürgen is more like to vouch for

[viscid cape]

Ahh okay, thanks

[ocean robin]

Was ist dein Name? / (Wie heißt du?) saw Chuck's awnser after that
Woher kommst du?
Was ist deine E-Mail-Adresse?
Wie viel Uhr ist es?
Bist du geheiratet?
Hast du Kinder?
Spricht du Englisch?
Also, polite way or nou? Because I'd have to do it again if yes.

[thick charm]

close

two things

[ocean robin]

wew

[thick charm]

it wouldn't be geheirated in this context

[ocean robin]

Ah.

I need to go and then I come back.

[thick charm]

also you conjugated one of your verbs incorrectly

[cold vessel]

ffs flappy

[thick charm]

Have fun

[viscid cape]

To be fair when I was her age I couldn't concentrate on learning for a long time either

[cold vessel]

Yeah I cared this >< much about my language lessions at 14

[opal sequoia]

Yeah.

[lavish saddle]

She's doing very well though ^^

At her age, I wasn't even studying for school

I was just watching anime all day 😂

[opal sequoia]

Studying is something you actually need to be taught to do, or at least it's a skill you need to learn.

[lavish saddle]

I don't really know how to study tbh

D:

[opal sequoia]

It's okay, you'll learn now you're at uni.

[lavish saddle]

But I think my best way will be notes

[opal sequoia]

Maybe harshly, but it'll be okay. 😄

[lavish saddle]

and notecards >3>

[opal sequoia]

Notes are great.

Practice is better.

So do both.

[cold vessel]

I think uni has mostly made me more lazy 🤔

[lavish saddle]

Yeah, I don't think I'll really have a problem figuring it out tbh

Just not used to studying 😄

[opal sequoia]

I don't think that would be possible for me if I wanted to pass, henbruas.

I have to study constantly.

[lavish saddle]

(studying besides using a book to do problems that is)

[opal sequoia]

Even then, I don't get especially good grades out of it.

[lavish saddle]

The C class?

[opal sequoia]

All classes at my uni.

[lavish saddle]

Ohh

That sucks D:

[opal sequoia]

It's okay. It's a good uni so it's worthwhile. 😄

[lavish saddle]

Yeah, that's good that it's a good uni ^u^

Makes things better when you actually like your Uni

[cold vessel]

My uni is good but I don't like it 😬

[opal sequoia]

Definitely. I looove my uni. It's so pretty and peaceful and has so many resources for us to use.

I don't take advantage of it enough.

[lavish saddle]

I'm neutral-happy about mine right now

I like the looks, but I don't know about the classes yet

I can't decide until I've had a bit of time there 😄

but the scenery is beautiful

[opal sequoia]

True, give it a year.

I mean, if you hate it, you'll still have to go there anyway.

[lavish saddle]

lol

I don't think I'll ever hate it tbh

I find it absolutely beautiful there

Then I can checkout if the uni has good teachers or not, but there's always gonna be good and bad

[sudden panther]

Flip already flipped away?

[cold vessel]

She flip flopped

[sudden panther]

Guess who has an OS class that includes C this semester, Bays. 😒

[ocean robin]

[sudden panther]

Why do you put your return type on the next line? 😓

Or rather alone in the line.

[cold vessel]

Why wouldn't you?

Multiple statements on a line 🤢

[sudden panther]

Return type, not return statement.

[cold vessel]

Oh, misread

[sudden panther]

int main()

[opal sequoia]

Oh, that's how you do it.

You put it on the same line when you're declaring functions before main.

[cold vessel]

@sudden panther https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_coding_standards

Looks awful, but apparently it's a thing

[ocean robin]

Thiiiiis became #science

[quasi merlin]

Are we still teaching Fläppers?

[ocean robin]

[cold vessel]

We are teaching her programming now

We gave up on the German

[fair iron]

Always, Mika. Always.

[ocean robin]

Did I say I am in programming?

[fair iron]

*into. ^^

[ocean robin]

[quasi merlin]

Teaching German is better.

[ocean robin]

I feel like I am quite bad at prepositions for English as well. 😦

[sudden panther]

That's awful styling. Not as awesome as some, but still. 😛

[ocean robin]

Wot are you talking about.

[sudden panther]

Code.

[ocean robin]

Ah.

And where is learning.

[thick charm]

did you figure out your mistakes?

You had two in those little sentences we gave you

[sudden panther]

Here. Go. Learn. Ask me what I'm talking about. In German. But after you finish whatever Chuck is talking about.

[ocean robin]

[thick charm]

Was ist dein Name? / (Wie heißt du?) saw Chuck's awnser after that Woher kommst du? Was ist deine E-Mail-Adresse? Wie viel Uhr ist es? Bist du geheiratet? Hast du Kinder? Spricht du Englisch?

Two tiny mistakes

we already went over the fact that it's not geheiratet in this case

[ocean robin]

Is it "spricht"?

[thick charm]

It's not

[ocean robin]

Ah.

[thick charm]

Well

it is

it is the mistake

[ocean robin]

lel

[thick charm]

If that's what you were asking

[ocean robin]

Yeah, that's what I asked.

[thick charm]

Yeah, that's the wrong conjugation

[ocean robin]

So, "sprichst"? Fok I just missed a s.

[thick charm]

yup

And geheiratet here is a tricky little trap

Because you're not looking for the verb 'heiraten'

You're looking for an adjective

[ocean robin]

Yeeeah. I took the past participle?

[thick charm]

Well it could be a Verb too

now that I think about it

[fair iron]

^^

[thick charm]

but yes, you took the past participle

[fair iron]

What would be the adjective, Flappy?

[ocean robin]

[fair iron]

Er ist mit seiner Frau __ __.

[thick charm]

'to be married to' instead of just 'to be married'

[sudden panther]

Zufrieden.

[ocean robin]

I don't wanf to cheat but- wot Arrem.

[thick charm]

It's not a cheat

Arrem made a joke

he did a funny

zufrieden = satisfied

[sudden panther]

^Laugh for a bit and go back to wörk.

[ocean robin]

That wasn't what I wanted to say, I was writing my thingy and then saw Arrem's joke.

So uuuh.

[thick charm]

It's close

[shy bobcat]

I'll hint you, it's very similar to "geheiratet"

[thick charm]

it's not geheiratet, but it ends with -heiratet.

[ocean robin]

Heiratet?

[fair iron]

No.

Ends with.

[thick charm]

It's not quite that easy

[fair iron]

Meaning there's more.

[thick charm]

sorry

[fair iron]

^^

[thick charm]

BUT I'M NOT DONE YET

[hot cloak]

sachsen

27%

lol

[fair iron]

Flappy:
This bottle has been sold.
This flower was forgotten.

What's the prefix?

[thick charm]

Keep the politics to #german-only

especially with a topic like that

[fair iron]

Diese Flasche wurde __ __kauft.
Diese Blume wurde __ __gessen.

[sudden panther]

But Casca! 'heiratet'.endsWith('heiratet') returns true. Floppo is just a programmer.

[thick charm]

lmao

casca noo

[fair iron]

^^

[shy bobcat]

Casca

You been make one fail

[ocean robin]

[shy bobcat]

😛

[fair iron]

Flappy didn't see that.

[cold vessel]

[fair iron]

^^

[thick charm]

Hen just suffers from extreme stuttering

[sudden panther]

gevergegessen

[ocean robin]

Wanted to say ge-

LMAO WHAT

[thick charm]

We already had ge-

that was your initial mistake

[shy bobcat]

Arrem is memeing

[fair iron]

^

[thick charm]

How did you get to ge- again?

[ocean robin]

[fair iron]

It came after gd-.

[shy bobcat]

@sudden panther verwirr mal die arme Flöäps nicht

😦

[ocean robin]

When you understand the words but not the sentence

[sudden panther]

Dö Flops muss verwirrt werden.

[shy bobcat]

😦

[ocean robin]

[thick charm]

right so, now that the cat is out of the bag:

geheiratet = past participle of married
verheiratet sein = to be married to somebody

[ocean robin]

the heck

[hot cloak]

@thick charm Yes, but i find it a bit difficult to discuss such a theme as politics purely in deutsch

[fair iron]

^^

[ocean robin]

ah ah ahhhh.

[fair iron]

Then #voice-chat is your friend. 😃

[thick charm]

I didn't make the rules, man

Just minimodding

[shy bobcat]

Also practicing your German is good

😄 😄 😄

[sudden panther]

Dat ist 1 Befehl, Ari. Vong dem Grammatikgötter. "Du sollst Floppo confusen"

[ocean robin]

purely in German
du it

[thick charm]

tu es

[ocean robin]

ARREM MEMEING AGAIN.

[hot cloak]

na ja weil die Thema komplizert ist

[opal sequoia]

Wanting to talk about something in Deutsch is a good motivation to learn it. 😄

[shy bobcat]

[quasi merlin]

What is happening here?

[shy bobcat]

no one knowd

[quasi merlin]

I'm not gonna disappear again for a while.

So we can do stuff.

[thick charm]

we're teaching flappy how to speak German

[sudden panther]

Mika. Whenever you disappear we switch to meme German.

[ocean robin]

ja bims ich flops aus frankreich

[sudden panther]

It's horrible.

[thick charm]

also we got mad at Fangske for politics

wow

[quasi merlin]

So, what are we teaching Fläppers right now?

Are we done with imperative?

[thick charm]

the basics

[sudden panther]

0x1 saw me complaining about that and he added it. 😍

[quasi merlin]

Arrem, update me.

[sudden panther]

We're teaching her questions.

And she still hasn't fixed her mistakes.

[ocean robin]

wew.

[shy bobcat]

I bims d'r Ari vrom Arizonenland

[ocean robin]

oh true sheit

[sudden panther]

Now do your work Floppo.

[ocean robin]

Was ist dein Name? / (Wie heißt du?) saw Chuck's awnser after that
Woher kommst du?
Was ist deine E-Mail-Adresse?
Wie viel Uhr ist es?
Bist du verheiratet?

Sprichst du Englisch?

[quasi merlin]

I'm proud of you.

[shy bobcat]

👏

[ocean robin]

yaaaaaay

[sudden panther]

I'm proud of you.

[ocean robin]

;w; yay

[sudden panther]

Now ask me what I'm talking about.

[ocean robin]

[sudden panther]

Wast bist du sprechen über??

[ocean robin]

LOL

[shy bobcat]

It was better before the edit

[cold vessel]

*Was bist du sprechen etwa

[ocean robin]

Über was sprichst du? I was going to say though.

[sudden panther]

Thank autocorrect for that.

[ocean robin]

AND AGREED WITH ARIZONA.

[sudden panther]

Horrible Floppo.

[ocean robin]

[shy bobcat]

Wast bist du sagen, ewiger memiger arrim

[ocean robin]

The über is at the end? Whaaaai.

[shy bobcat]

no

[ocean robin]

It was correcto?

[shy bobcat]

"Über was" is a bit of a no

[ocean robin]

[shy bobcat]

We have a way of dealing with those

It starts with a W

[cold vessel]

Everything starts with a w 👀

[ocean robin]

no shit

[opal sequoia]

Wüber was.

[shy bobcat]

It's one word

[ocean robin]

wot Base.

[toxic urchin]

Waffles?

[shy bobcat]

Base been memeing

[ocean robin]

DO YOU LIKE WAFFLES

Okay stop.

[cold vessel]

Wieüber

[shy bobcat]

"Wor-" something

[ocean robin]

Woran?

[shy bobcat]

Your preposition was right

:smile:

[dense rivet]

Waffles ?

[shy bobcat]

So woran is a no

[ocean robin]

[toxic urchin]

Worms?

[ocean robin]

Worüber?

[shy bobcat]

Youve got it

😄

[dense rivet]

Woohoo

[ocean robin]

yayies

🎉

[shy bobcat]

So now say it

All at once

[ocean robin]

Worüber sprichst du, Arrem?

[shy bobcat]

😄 👍

[ocean robin]

bleh

[thick charm]

Nobody is going to kill you for using "über was" though. In fact, that's how most Germans say it colloquially. But yeah, worüber is technically more grammatically correct.

[shy bobcat]

Yeah but stick to sthriving for "good German" while you're still A level

[thick charm]

sure

[ocean robin]

[thick charm]

just throwing it out there

[shy bobcat]

but yeah chuck is righr

Unsurprisingly

[thick charm]

It's not a mistake as much as there's a better way to express it.

[ocean robin]

learns meme German in the meantime

[toxic urchin]

Thats exactly something someone who'd kill you for using "über was" would say

[opal sequoia]

Can I give questions from the next chapter? I feel like this questions stuff is pretty good so far.

[thick charm]

Yeah

[cold vessel]

@thick charm "Über was sprichst du?" or "Was sprichst du über?" ?

[thick charm]

always the first one

[shy bobcat]

How about we teach flaps a mixture of bayrisch and memisch instead of German

[opal sequoia]

Yeah, prepositions always go with the thing they're about. Unless it's a seperable verb.

[ocean robin]

Just THINK about Flops speaking Meme German.

[opal sequoia]

If you put über at the end it's like übersprechen.

[thick charm]

I would pay to hear that

[ocean robin]

Ahhh.

[thick charm]

Just out of curiosity, is there any kind of meme-French?

[opal sequoia]

Here is the next set if you want them:

[thick charm]

Do you use 1 for "un" as well?

[opal sequoia]

The table and the window are broken.
The daughter is called Marianna.
The newspaper is too expensive.
The rose is very beautiful.
The cinema is closed. (closed = geschlossen)
The football team is bad.
The beer costs 2 euros.
The town centre is very old.
Is the computer new?
The girl is five years old and the boy is seven.
The cheese is from France.```

[dense rivet]

I'd love to speak meme

[ocean robin]

👀

[thick charm]

Ooh, there are a few tricky ones in there

But I believe in you, Flappy

you can do it.

[cold vessel]

What are those supposed to test?

[ocean robin]

@thick charm Yeeees 1 = un = indefinite article.

[cold vessel]

I don't see a theme

[opal sequoia]

"Nouns and gender".

[thick charm]

Adjectives, I'd assume

oh

[ocean robin]

hoyl adjectives

[thick charm]

It's a little bit of everything

[opal sequoia]

The other questions teach you about some categories that have consistent gender. But I feel like that's unnecessary.

[thick charm]

do you want to go over them one by one?

[ocean robin]

IDK, but it seems long.

[opal sequoia]

Like "Montag, Dienstag, Mittwoch, Sonntag" for example.

[thick charm]

What happened to the rest of the week

[ocean robin]

The cheese is from France. Dat reference.

[thick charm]

did they cancel Thursday?

[opal sequoia]

😄

[ocean robin]

Disappeared.

[thick charm]

Okay, Flappy

First one

[opal sequoia]

"Wodka, Rum, Rotwein, Schnaps"

[ocean robin]

[thick charm]

The Ferrari is very fast.

[ocean robin]

Yeah first what would be the gender of Ferrari?

[opal sequoia]

I'll add the tips as you go through the sentences.

[shy bobcat]

Der I think

[thick charm]

Proper nouns for car manufacturers are usually all der

Der Ferrari, der Porsche, der Renault.

[opal sequoia]

Oh, that, yeah.

[ocean robin]

Yaaaah okay.

Der Ferrari is sehr schnell, then.

Lol wot.

[shy bobcat]

Is the l in Renault pronounced

[thick charm]

Probably because of an implied "Wagen"

[ocean robin]

*ist.

[thick charm]

It's not

[ocean robin]

[thick charm]

No your sentence is perfect

I was responding to Ari

[ocean robin]

the heck

AH.

I got really afraid there lel

[thick charm]

Well done!

Ready for the next one?

[shy bobcat]

Ok

[ocean robin]

🎉

yep!

[thick charm]

The table and the window are broken.

[shy bobcat]

So Renault is just "Rännoh"?

[quasi merlin]

"Renoh"

[ocean robin]

wooo seems like Perfekt.

[thick charm]

It's not Perfekt

They are broken

[ocean robin]

Yeah actually you say Renoh.

Ah.

[thick charm]

It's present tense

[ocean robin]

Broken as an adjective?

[cold vessel]

Is the end of "renault" a diphtong?

[thick charm]

yeah, broken is an adjective here

or it can be translated as one at least

[ocean robin]

Seeing kaputt for the translation just makes me reminding of "waaah je suis capoute" in French

[thick charm]

It's not quite the same meaning

But we are going to kidnap you if you make any mistakes from here on out

[shy bobcat]

kaputt is nice because it's already a word in american english since a bunch of Germans, and then Yiddish people, came to the States

So we picked up a few words

[sudden panther]

Can I give questions from the next chapter? I feel like this questions stuff is pretty good so far.
We should have practiced wo + prep a bit more. Because she basically guessed the answer.

[shy bobcat]

😏

[thick charm]

kaputt ironically comes from French

capot

[opal sequoia]

Oh, sorry.

[thick charm]

capoter

[sudden panther]

No worries. We can always continue with questions when this part is done.

What's it about anyway?

[ocean robin]

So we were.

[opal sequoia]

I kinda just got the impression that she wouldn't be able to absorb the questions stuff straight away.

As far as wo- compounds and stuff.

[sudden panther]

Hm, we'll see. 🤔

[ocean robin]

Der Tisch und der Fenster sind kaputt. Genders are okay? Genders are okay.

[thick charm]

Close

Fenster is not masculine

[ocean robin]

Das?

[thick charm]

yup

[ocean robin]

Ahhhhh.

[quasi merlin]

Use a dictionary, Fläppers.

[opal sequoia]

Aren't you meant to not ask questions anymore unless it's an actual question? 😄

[ocean robin]

Actually tried not to.

[thick charm]

Right, well done again.

[ocean robin]

True Base lel.

[shy bobcat]

when I try not to use a dictionary we get things like "Geduldigkeit"

[thick charm]

Genders are hard, it's only a mistake in the theoretical sense.

[ocean robin]

the fok

[opal sequoia]

Die Table and Dem Window bist kabroken.

[ocean robin]

LOL

[thick charm]

Alright, the next one. Watch out for the Passiv: The daughter is called Marianna.

[sudden panther]

Back to work, Floppo.

[ocean robin]

Oh yeah.

[sudden panther]

Die tochter ist angerufen Marianna.

[ocean robin]

Passive.

[sudden panther]

Please don't use angerufen in your translation, Flops.

[ocean robin]

Y-yeah sure w-why not.

I know that "to call" is heißen or nennen lel

[thick charm]

both are possible

[quasi merlin]

^

[thick charm]

One would be active, the other one would be passive.

your pick

[sudden panther]

Hallo-o-o-o Wien heißt ☎

[ocean robin]

[valid ice]

active and passive? I may have changed my mind about learning German >.>

[ocean robin]

I think it's nennen.

[opal sequoia]

Callum...

[ocean robin]

SO.

[thick charm]

What has your mind been changed by?

[ocean robin]

[sudden panther]

"Both are possible"
"I think it's nennen"

[ocean robin]

Heißen in passive way is way too wierd

[thick charm]

correct

[ocean robin]

so nennen

[thick charm]

You can't passively heißen

[opal sequoia]

Weird.

[quasi merlin]

"One would be active, the other one would be passive."
"Heißen in passive way is way too wierd"

[shy bobcat]

heißen is already passive

it means "to be called"

[ocean robin]

lol wot

[sudden panther]

Ich wurde geheißen.

[ocean robin]

LOL WHAT ARREN

[sudden panther]

Hey look I can't type.

[quasi merlin]

Who the heck is Arren

[thick charm]

Aren is the ring from Eragon

[shy bobcat]

Ich heiße Arrem aus Memonien

[quasi merlin]

Fläppers, do the sentence.

[sudden panther]

Memonien 😍

[thick charm]

Also heißen in itself isn't passive. It would be in English, not necessarily in German.

[shy bobcat]

Ich würde unironisch gerne nach Memonien umziehen 😩

[sudden panther]

Imagine what these learning sessions would look like if we didn't meme every 2 seconds. If Flops just answered questions.

[ocean robin]

Yeah okay. But I am not that good at Passive and maybe it'll be a meme like genitive.

[thick charm]

https://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/Flexion:nennen

[quasi merlin]

NO SPOILERS

[sudden panther]

puts a link in code tags

[thick charm]

Use this if you're a dirty cheater

[sudden panther]

chuck you chuck

[opal sequoia]

I don't think you have to worry about passive in these exercises, Flappy. These are early A level just learned what a noun is exercises, so don't overthink it too much.

[thick charm]

Didn't want to spoil it

[red pewter]

Is passive just always wurde +ge on the verb?

[thick charm]

no

[quasi merlin]

Nope.

[sudden panther]

Nou. Depends on the tense.

[thick charm]

Also irregular and regular verbs

[toxic urchin]

You can use < >

[red pewter]

😪

[ocean robin]

"Die Tochter wird Marianna genannt." 🤔

[sudden panther]

There's always a werden and the partizip of the verb though. And potentially some other things.

[quasi merlin]

👌

[ocean robin]

Oh loook nennen is a fokken irregular verb.

[sudden panther]

On a scale from 1 to Flops, how much did you cheat? 😛

[ocean robin]

Only 1 for seeing the past participle of nennen.

[sudden panther]

Now do it with heißen

[ocean robin]

wot not passive.

Die Tochter heißt Marianna. Simple and ez. No passive. Because weirdo.

[fair iron]

👌

[quasi merlin]

👌

[sudden panther]

Horrible. Next one please.

[thick charm]

So just for fun

[ocean robin]

[thick charm]

let's try passive anyway

[quasi merlin]

Wat

[ocean robin]

lel what

[quasi merlin]

No.

[thick charm]

Why not?

[quasi merlin]

How even

[thick charm]

She looked it up anyway

[sudden panther]

Sie wird Marianna geheißen worden sein.

[thick charm]

not for heißen

for nennen

[ocean robin]

Die Tochter wird Marinna geheißen

[sudden panther]

She did try the passive for nennen.

[quasi merlin]

She already did.

[thick charm]

oh

[opal sequoia]

👍

[thick charm]

look at me, I'm Chuck. I'm a fucking idiot

[hot cloak]

Chuck can you help me with an issue i have ?

[ocean robin]

That passive with heißen hurts lel

[thick charm]

I can try

[opal sequoia]

Nuh, you're awesome, Chuck. 😻

[shy bobcat]

chuck 😍

[quasi merlin]

Chearthok

[sudden panther]

Fokk Chokk

[shy bobcat]

tbh the heart-eyed cat emoji is kinda creepy

[ocean robin]

Chokk chokkes

[hot cloak]

I can´t write you personally

[ocean robin]

[thick charm]

oh right

[sudden panther]

o-o-o-o-operator

[thick charm]

I still got the thing on

[sudden panther]

Arrem calling.

[thick charm]

Just accept the friend request

then you can msg me

[sudden panther]

And he said "Give me the next sentence or ill off yer dogger ye meme".

[ocean robin]

Ah.

[thick charm]

Alright

The newspaper is too expensive.

[opal sequoia]

What's creepy about it? 😦

[ocean robin]

Did everyone ever listened to Arrem's voice btw?

[quasi merlin]

Yes.

[ocean robin]

OH MY GOD.

[quasi merlin]

Don't lenk vom Thema ab.

[sudden panther]

Das Neupapier ist zu kostenlich.

[ocean robin]

I want to hear it so bad.

[opal sequoia]

Feel free to post after Flappy, cbell. ❤

[sudden panther]

[ocean robin]

flopz didn't understand

YAY

[red pewter]

Thanks! ❤

[sudden panther]

If you do your sentence in the next 5 minutes. If not I'll keep it a secret forever.

[ocean robin]

SURE THING

[sudden panther]

Time starts now.

22:46:40-22:51:40

[quasi merlin]

Poor Flops hasn't even heard Arrem's voice.

[shy bobcat]

I haven't really heard arrem either 😦

[ocean robin]

Hat jeder immer Arrems Stimme gehört? When I want to be fast I am fast.

[sudden panther]

Yes you have you meme.

[shy bobcat]

hmm I might have

[sudden panther]

Flapper. 🤦

[shy bobcat]

but idk

[sudden panther]

Not. That. Sentence.

[thick charm]

I haven't

[ocean robin]

dammit

[shy bobcat]

I just remember when you would sit and watch the voice chat silently

[ocean robin]

NO GOD.

[shy bobcat]

😛

[sudden panther]

The newspaper is too expensive.

[ocean robin]

AHHHHH.

quick quick

[sudden panther]

I've been sitting and watching the chat silently for the last 3 months. I talked before that. 😛

[red pewter]

Someday Bella will get to post the answer 🤐

[thick charm]

That's right when I joined

🤔

Arrem, are you hiding from me on purpose?

[quasi merlin]

Yes.

[sudden panther]

Feel free to post the answer. You get a cookie every time you post your answer faster than Flops.

[ocean robin]

Die Zeitung ist zu teuer.

[thick charm]

rip that cookie

[shy bobcat]

[red pewter]

Die Zeitung ist zu teuer.

[ocean robin]

[ocean robin]

[quasi merlin]

[shy bobcat]

fläps war doch zuerst

[thick charm]

[shy bobcat]

[red pewter]

I had mine pasted

[ocean robin]

[thick charm]

The rose is very beautiful.

[shy bobcat]

Fläps, Keks für dich 🍪

[ocean robin]

Die Rose ist sehr schön.

[red pewter]

Oh that was a sentence whoops

I don't know the word for rose so I'm going with that

[quasi merlin]

👌

[sudden panther]

Das Standauf ist sehr schönheitvoll.

[ocean robin]

Dict.cx said die Rose 🤷

LOL WHAT

[quasi merlin]

(He's memeing)

[ocean robin]

Also danke Arizona. 🍪

[red pewter]

People use something other than google translate to look up words what

[shy bobcat]

@sudden panther ich glaube, dein Maimaien ist ein bisschen zu weit gegangen, du verwirrst die arme Franzosin zu viel 😦

[ocean robin]

dict.cc

LOL

[sudden panther]

I just couldn't resist using Standauf.

[shy bobcat]

ja

das war

🤢

[sudden panther]

Flops you get a cookie if you can explain the logical connection between "Standauf" and rose. 😛

[quasi merlin]

too many memes

[shy bobcat]

@sudden panther lel

[ocean robin]

UUUUUH.

[shy bobcat]

it's not anything correct

[sudden panther]

^

[shy bobcat]

you have to use some really weird thinking to get there

😉

[ocean robin]

the heck

The rose is standing

on the.... ground.

[red pewter]

^

[sudden panther]

stand auf

[shy bobcat]

ok, the verb "aufstehen" means "to rise". What are the preterites of those two verbs, in english and in german

[ocean robin]

Rose and....

...

ok now stop with those puns

[shy bobcat]

stand auf 😉

[red pewter]

(bell doesn't get what's going on)

[sudden panther]

Ahahaha. That's how you speak meme german. 😉

[shy bobcat]

find the most ridiculous literal translations and write them

😄

[sudden panther]

Nothing serious, we're just goofing around for a bit. Now back to work.

[fair iron]

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

[ocean robin]

Wooo look Casca getting poetic.

[red pewter]

I can't translate that D:

[shy bobcat]

ein Standauf bei irgendeinem anderen Namen wollte so süß riechen

[ocean robin]

We won't.

[fair iron]

Actually, good idea! Translate my quote, Flappy. ^^

[ocean robin]

Unless tha- jesus.

[fair iron]

(It's Romeo and Juliet, not poetry.)

[sudden panther]

The cinema is closed. (closed = geschlossen)

[shy bobcat]

shakespeare wrote in verse though

@fair iron

[fair iron]

You make a good point. ^^

[shy bobcat]

shakespeare's lines are often just extended poems

[fair iron]

The prologue is a poem. 🤔

[shy bobcat]

for the rich folk at least

[sudden panther]

Casca is Shakespeare's cousin.

[shy bobcat]

the poor folk talk in prose because they dum dum

[ocean robin]

[fair iron]

Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
[...]

[ocean robin]

"they dum dum"

[shy bobcat]

😍

I love shakespeare

[ocean robin]

Also if I can translate a huge poem then I can do those lines.

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin it's not correct english, it's slang plus funny spelling

[sudden panther]

See it's just not as fun when the literal translation actually makes sense. 😦

But you can't translate a huge poem. 🤔

[fair iron]

Dante's Inferno was translated into multiple languages.

[ocean robin]

I did.

[fair iron]

Ergo, it's possible.

[red pewter]

Eine Rose mit ein anderer Name würde riechen so süẞ

[thick charm]

Okay

next sentence

[red pewter]

RIP

[fair iron]

^^

[sudden panther]

Nice ẞ.

[ocean robin]

You said my translation was evven brilliant, Arrem.

[sudden panther]

How'd you get the capital one?

[shy bobcat]

@sudden panther Sieh, es ist gerecht nicht als Spaß wann der buchstäbliche Durchsetzung aktuell macht Sinn

[thick charm]

Or do you want us to correct that sentence for you first, cbell?

[shy bobcat]

[thick charm]

oh

[red pewter]

sure

[sudden panther]

Poor Flopps still hasn't figured out what it means when I call something brilliant.

[ocean robin]

sure Casca

Took notes.

[fair iron]

Not to worry, I removed the correction, Chuck. ^^

[red pewter]

okay. if there's a capital and a lowercase someone just give me the lowercase

[shy bobcat]

how do you like my german arrem

😍

[sudden panther]

Brilliant.

[ocean robin]

Geez Arrem.

But I liked my translation.

[sudden panther]

It had details that were a bit off.

[ocean robin]

#never_forgetti

[shy bobcat]

wait what was flöps'

[sudden panther]

Anyway, back to work maybe?

[shy bobcat]

yes

back to memes

because memes = work

[ocean robin]

yes

[shy bobcat]

[ocean robin]

AND THEN SLEEP.

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin post your translation I actually missed it lel

[sudden panther]

I should get back to work as well. 🙄 I'm doing my presentation tomorrow and I still haven't finished it.

[fair iron]

Take care, Arrem. ❤

[ocean robin]

Didn't begin Arizona

[red pewter]

I still wanna see what i did wrong

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin rip

[red pewter]

that was tough and i need closure

[sudden panther]

Thanks Cassie. ❤ I'll be back in a bit. I'm mostly done.

[shy bobcat]

Eine Rose mit ein anderer Name würde riechen so süẞ
what was the original, "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet"?

right

that's not mine

I just posted bell's down

[red pewter]

(so bad he has to make sure everyone knows it's not his)

[fair iron]

Okay, so.

What gender is Name?

[red pewter]

der Name :?

[fair iron]

Yep.

[shy bobcat]

yes

[red pewter]

mit einen?

[fair iron]

Yes.

However, that's not all.

anderer also needs changing.

[shy bobcat]

@red pewter lel I saw luna typing and I didn't want him to think I had got worse

[fair iron]

As does Name.

[sudden panther]

I literally have no idea how to say 'tuition fees' in my native language. Send help. 😒

[pine ginkgo]

thanks eistee

[shy bobcat]

❤

[red pewter]

einen anderen Namen :?

[pine ginkgo]

[fair iron]

Yep!

[red pewter]

[valid ice]

Google translate Arrem

[shy bobcat]

[shy bobcat]

[pine ginkgo]

studiezki gebuerskiz

[fair iron]

Eine Rose mit einem anderen Namen würde | riechen so süß.

[pine ginkgo]

or something

[fair iron]

The part on the right still needs fixing.

[sudden panther]

It's wrong. :(
The word it gives me is usually used in the context of highschools. We have another one for unis but I can't think of it at all.

[shy bobcat]

@fair iron mit einen 👀

[sudden panther]

Needs less vowels.

[ocean robin]

Eine Rose würde mit einem anderen Name als süß riechen.

Sounds weird.

[pine ginkgo]

because it is

[ocean robin]

[fair iron]

Typo.

Wait.

[pine ginkgo]

it won't sound weird if it's correct

[fair iron]

I'm now doubting myself.

🤔

[shy bobcat]

"Eine Rose würde mit irgendeinem anderen Namen genauso süß riechen"

[ocean robin]

typooos tyyyypos

[shy bobcat]

🤔

[red pewter]

dying

[ocean robin]

Was picking ingendein too but said "eh too complicated"

[shy bobcat]

I'm not gonna say mine's good either

[fair iron]

It's pretty good.

[ocean robin]

Natives are the judges heh.

[shy bobcat]

certainly isn't the phrasing that they'd use while actually translating shakespeare lel 😂

[fair iron]

Want to see how it's actually translated in the play? ^^

[shy bobcat]

😄

yes

[ocean robin]

[pine ginkgo]

at least you the as correct, teeeis

[fair iron]

Was ist ein Name? Was uns Rose heißt, wie es auch hieße, würde lieblich duften.

[ocean robin]

👀

[red pewter]

i've only learned irgendwelche. apparenlty that's a lot of irgends....

[ocean robin]

the fuck

We were far away from that

[fair iron]

Shakespeare, Flappy. Don't question it.

[ocean robin]

[shy bobcat]

"What to us is called a rose, no matter how it would be called, would smell lovely"

essentially

again, it's shakespeare

the whole play is pretty much a series of poems

[fair iron]

^

[ocean robin]

duften = would TIL.

[shy bobcat]

no

[red pewter]

I tried so hard, and got so far....but in the end, it doesn't even matter....

[pine ginkgo]

shakespeare

[fair iron]

How about another Shakespeare quote or two?

[shy bobcat]

yessss

[ocean robin]

I need sleep.

I am quite crazy to still be here btw.

[shy bobcat]

yo

n8 works in german and in french

n-acht = Nacht
n-huit = nuit

[fair iron]

Oh Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?

[ocean robin]

[shy bobcat]

O Romeo, Romeo, wofür bist du Romeo?

[ocean robin]

wherefore
thou

[shy bobcat]

old words

"why" "you"

[fair iron]

Fast.

[ocean robin]

lol okay

[pine ginkgo]

[red pewter]

Ach Romeo, Romeo, Wo bist dich Romeo

[fair iron]

(German fast, not English fast.)

[red pewter]

dead.

[shy bobcat]

wo
wherefore

banned

😒

[fair iron]

^^

[ocean robin]

In English yep, Solet.

[fair iron]

Wherefore = Why.

[shy bobcat]

or

[fair iron]

(For what reason.)

[shy bobcat]

wherefore = wofür

[red pewter]

bist

[shy bobcat]

😏

[red pewter]

"Where is you romeo"

[fair iron]

It's not wofür, Arizona.

[ocean robin]

Anyway good night. I am dyinf right now.

[fair iron]

Sadly, it's a little duller.

[shy bobcat]

it isn't?

[fair iron]

Dors bien, Flappy!

[quasi merlin]

It isn't?

[shy bobcat]

I thought wofür was one of the 5000 words for why

[fair iron]

Nope, it isn't. :(

[shy bobcat]

😦

[thick charm]

sleep well, Flappy

[quasi merlin]

Warum sollte es das nicht sein?

[thick charm]

We'll go over the rest of the sentences tomorrow

[fair iron]

It's not the word used in the translation, I'm afraid.

[quasi merlin]

Das ist doch egal, lol.

[shy bobcat]

I don't care about the official translation, did I say something valid

[quasi merlin]

Casca, du Meme.

[fair iron]

Your sentence was valid, yes.

[shy bobcat]

Because

[fair iron]

Sorry if I caused any confusion. 😅

Oh Romeo, Romeo! Warum bist du Romeo?

[shy bobcat]

if I had looked up the official translation

[hot oriole]

Was heißt jetzt wherefore? Einfach nur wo?

[shy bobcat]

nein

[fair iron]

Nein, wieso.

[quasi merlin]

Wherefore = wofür

[fair iron]

^

[shy bobcat]

wofür, wieso, weshalb, warum

wähl mal eins aus

🤷

[red pewter]

T_T

[shy bobcat]

I wouldn't have actually looked up the official translation because that's cheating 😛

[red pewter]

german is hard

[fair iron]

Weswegen. ^^

[shy bobcat]

weshalb is weird... it means like "What's half" literally I think 🤔

maybe that halb doesn't mean half

[pine ginkgo]

yep

it doesn't

[shy bobcat]

phew

[fair iron]

On to the next quote! ^^

Thus with a kiss I die.

[shy bobcat]

was about to say "german u on sumthin"

[pine ginkgo]

Ich sterbe mit einen Kuss?

[shy bobcat]

ein--

[hot oriole]

mit + dativ

[shy bobcat]

deine Endung passt nicht

[red pewter]

oh.

[shy bobcat]

also I probably have spelt it "behaf" or something daft like that 😛

[red pewter]

mit einem Kuss?

[shy bobcat]

bravbell

but the original quote is

Thus with a kiss I die
so you a word.
