general-2

[cold vessel]

Then for every mistake we find she has to redraw the whole thing 😄

[stark drift]

lel

[nocturne spruce]

Alternatively

Write the sentences, and then draw the shape from the mistakes

[ocean robin]

challenge accepted will begin

[sudden panther]

Wow. Drawing instead of learning.

That why bell is better. 😛

[nocturne spruce]

We are drawing knowledge

[ocean robin]

But I can write about what?

[nocturne spruce]

The exercise you have to do

[ocean robin]

LOL

[nocturne spruce]

Translate the sentences

then get creative with them

[ocean robin]

I TRANSLATE THE SENTENCES IN THE FOXIE

LMAOO

[nocturne spruce]

This isn't a chance to avoid the work flappy

[cold vessel]

This is going to take hours 😐

[ocean robin]

Then my foxie is too big

[sudden panther]

Yes.

[ocean robin]

waiti

[viscid cape]

Shit

[nocturne spruce]

Yeah, so for now just translate, and once you have the sentences correctly, you'll draw

[viscid cape]

Wrong paste lol

[sudden panther]

Sie gibt dem Buch ein Baby. Next please.

[nocturne spruce]

Why can I actually imagine flappy writing that

😦

[sudden panther]

I think we may have done that one.

[cold vessel]

Because she already made that mistake

[nocturne spruce]

Oh

[viscid cape]

Oh okay, my bad then

[nocturne spruce]

Also, Luna come back, session is starting soon

[sudden panther]

I think. Check pls.

[cold vessel]

I don't think we did all those sentences?

4 and 5 doesn't seem familiar

[sudden panther]

Oh no it was a different exercise, but that one had CDs and wine bottle as well.

You may continue Flopper.

[ocean robin]

1. Sie gibt dem Baby ein Buch. 2. Paulina gibt dem Kind das CD. 3. Er gibt das Großvater eine Flasche Wein. 4. Er folgt dem Mann. 5. Das Handy gehört dem Fahrer. 6. Peter hilft dem Mädchen. 7. Er gibt dem Kind eine Pocke.

🤔

Please don't murder me, that way I can see errors better.

mmmmh

[pine ginkgo]

banned

[ocean robin]

geez solet came back

[stark drift]

@nocturne spruce

[sudden panther]

Bad.

[nocturne spruce]

Oh nice

[stark drift]

Not from me

[ocean robin]

Is it the last one?

[viscid cape]

He was awoken by your misuse of cases.

[nocturne spruce]

I wish I could do that

[sudden panther]

You tell us flop.

[nocturne spruce]

But it takes so much practice

[stark drift]

me too ;-;

[ocean robin]

BUT ARREM I DON'T KNOW

[cold vessel]

flappy

Check your genders

[ocean robin]

WAIT

I SEE MISTAKE

[nocturne spruce]

For a first translation, not bad

[placid heath]

Heh. Das ist ne interessante Übersetzung von dem Sportgerät. :D

[nocturne spruce]

The mistakes are not overly blatant

[cold vessel]

Well

[nocturne spruce]

At least, by flappy standards

[ocean robin]

[cold vessel]

There is one pretty odd one 🤔

[nocturne spruce]

except for one

[sudden panther]

I have to compliment your word choice. Pocke is brilliant.

[ocean robin]

IKR

I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY MEANT

[nocturne spruce]

wot

[sudden panther]

You do.

[ocean robin]

I didn't understand they meant a ball

[cold vessel]

"Pocke" is apparently a dialect word from the Ruhr?

[ocean robin]

🤔

Anyway there's a mistake at #3 I think

1. Sie gibt dem Baby ein Buch.
2. Paulina gibt dem Kind das CD.
   *3. Er gibt dem Großvater eine Flasche Wein.
3. Er folgt dem Mann.
4. Das Handy gehört dem Fahrer.
5. Peter hilft dem Mädchen.
6. Er gibt dem Kind eine Pocke.

[sudden panther]

And that is?

[ocean robin]

And then #7 🤔

And that is that I put grandfather in Akk lel

[cold vessel]

Great, now check all your other genders 😛

[ocean robin]

[nocturne spruce]

Flappy, there's more to it than having grandfather in Akk

[ocean robin]

-n?

don't tell me it's -n

[nocturne spruce]

Why was the grandfather in neutrinum

[ocean robin]

Or Akk 🤔

[nocturne spruce]

das Grossvater

[ocean robin]

And no clue.

Wait.

[placid heath]

🤔

[ocean robin]

That was the wrooooong gender

[nocturne spruce]

Sorry

Brain lagged

[ocean robin]

faceflops

[nocturne spruce]

Why was it neutral

As a father

[ocean robin]

I dunno

[nocturne spruce]

Well, at least now you know the mistake

[ocean robin]

Yap.

[sudden panther]

Fan Bloppy.

[ocean robin]

So what's next? 🤔

Dat #7 btw

[pine ginkgo]

fix the rest

[ocean robin]

thanks for that advice solet

[sudden panther]

Let's not use Pocke maybe.

[ocean robin]

[placid heath]

Flappy, I'd even say you should correct all mistakes now.

[ocean robin]

😰

[sudden panther]

Yeah. Fix or b&.

[placid heath]

Fix the mistakes or I'll put a puppy 🐶 into an industrial shredder.

[ocean robin]

D:

[sudden panther]

Fix the mistakes or we'll remove and and .

[ocean robin]

NOOOOOO

[placid heath]

Say bye to waevoli.

[sudden panther]

Yes. For every mistake you make from now on, one emote dies.

[ocean robin]

[viscid cape]

Wow, Flappy... imagine the BURDEN.

[placid heath]

Yeah. So better don't make any mistakes.

[nocturne spruce]

[nocturne spruce]

Enough distractions

[ocean robin]

🤔

Okay then.

[sudden panther]

Yeah.

[viscid cape]

résultats

[ocean robin]

So what do we change Pocke for?

[placid heath]

For the correct word

[ocean robin]

but which one is it

[nocturne spruce]

There is a mistake before that

[ocean robin]

First I didn't understand the English sentence.

Aand ah ah ahhhhh.

When I hear "football" I only think about the sport

[pine ginkgo]

so

[ocean robin]

Not a noun 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

why didn't you ask

when you didn't understand the sentence

[ocean robin]

I-I don't know Solet. I should have done like that.

[nocturne spruce]

Well, what do you call the ball that the sport "Football" is played with

[ocean robin]

A ball.

[sudden panther]

Flops if it's not fixed by 20:00, we'll get rid of all emotes. 👌

[nocturne spruce]

And what do you call the ball that the sport "Basketball" is played with

[pine ginkgo]

🤔

🤔

[ocean robin]

I want to cry.

[sudden panther]

That's a lot of walls.

[shy bobcat]

[sudden panther]

So. Maybe go listen to the friendly ninja.

[fair iron]

Please don't cry, Flappy.

[sudden panther]

Because he told you what the mistake is.

[viscid cape]

Even Casca is here

Don't spoil her, join the punishment chorus

😠

[pine ginkgo]

if you listen to pengu

you won't cry

[nocturne spruce]

Wait, why would you cry?

[pine ginkgo]

because she is flopsing

[sudden panther]

Well we have to follow through now Solet. Living without emoji will be a bit hard, but it has to be done. 🙁

[nocturne spruce]

You know the correct answer and I told you what's wrong, it's literally just rewriting the sentence now

[pine ginkgo]

it's alright, arrem

i have my own

[shy bobcat]

[ocean robin]

But I know it's Kinder and then iuuuh Kindern

[nocturne spruce]

[pine ginkgo]

my face when i see flops learning german

[ocean robin]

Die?

[sudden panther]

And the sentence.

Die Kindern?

[nocturne spruce]

Focus flappy

How does the plural Die change with cases

[ocean robin]

1. Sie gibt dem Baby ein Buch. 2. Paulina gibt dem Kind das CD. *3. Er gibt dem Großvater eine Flasche Wein. 4. Er folgt dem Mann. 5. Das Handy gehört dem Fahrer. 6. Peter hilft dem Mädchen. 7. Er gibt den Kindern ein Ball.

[nocturne spruce]

Flappy, there is nothing wrong with looking up words

[ocean robin]

[pine ginkgo]

'echner'aum

[sudden panther]

You can find the next one on your own.

[ocean robin]

I thought when you say horrible it meant thay it was correcto.

[sudden panther]

It varies.

[ocean robin]

Or is silly meme playing with my self-esteem?

[sudden panther]

I don't know. You asked about the next mistake, not me.

[ocean robin]

🤔

You silly meme.

[shy bobcat]

😄

[ocean robin]

I am righto.

👀

[shy bobcat]

no you’re ’orribly wrong 😘

jk

[ocean robin]

And then "lol what Flaps"

LOL

[shy bobcat]

I think you’re fineä

[ocean robin]

My accent became a meme

[shy bobcat]

fineä

[ocean robin]

🤔

[sudden panther]

So you think it's fine?

[shy bobcat]

tbh I don't read 'orrible in a French accent

more of a heavy English accent

[ocean robin]

YEAH YOU MEME

[sudden panther]

And you're sure it's fine?

[ocean robin]

YEAH

[viscid cape]

Would you bet emoticon lives on it?

[sudden panther]

^^^^

[ocean robin]

🤔

[shy bobcat]

I'd bet emoticon lives on it 😏

[sudden panther]

Krypti can read my mind.

[ocean robin]

inhales

yus

LOL

[sudden panther]

Great. That's progress. You're confident.

[shy bobcat]

can we please stop with the memeing and give flüps credit where credit is due now 😄

[ocean robin]

[pine ginkgo]

where

[sudden panther]

She can get a "nice Floppo" and a cookie. How's that?

[ocean robin]

I want cookie! Want cookie!

[sudden panther]

Nice Floppo. 🍪

Wait I'm retarded.

[ocean robin]

🤔

Yay thankies.

[nocturne spruce]

Well done Flappy

[ocean robin]

Now I want translations but I wamt to do like this morning, would ne awesome if I do flawless translations again 😃

[placid heath]

ne awesome? 🤔

[sudden panther]

When Flops doesn't flop up, she gets a cookie.

[hot cloak]

'ne

[placid heath]

Flops r u drunk

[sudden panther]

You can translate Flop up as verfloppen.

[shy bobcat]

hey speaking of translate, I think i need to do some translation

[ocean robin]

[sudden panther]

Do it Flop. Go.

And it better be correct.

Ari just translate Romeo and Juliet. Like, the whole book.

[ocean robin]

LOL

[shy bobcat]

"flop up as verfloppen" like half of those aren't real words 🤔

or just don't make sense

@sudden panther thx

[fair iron]

[20:21] Arrem: [...] the whole book.```

Arrem, please.

[sudden panther]

Good. Abstract thinking.

If it's written down somewhere, it's a book. K?

[placid heath]

The film is better.

[ocean robin]

Wenn Flops nicht verfloppt, bekommt sie einen Keks.

[shy bobcat]

Romeo and Juliet
book

👀

[placid heath]

Nö, keinen Keks.

[viscid cape]

The videogame is better.

[?]

[placid heath]

Ja, Call of Juliet

[sudden panther]

Let's make it.

[ocean robin]

[sudden panther]

Good flopping, Floppy.

[ocean robin]

geeez

[sudden panther]

Geese?

[ocean robin]

Goose.

[sudden panther]

Moose?

[ocean robin]

Maybe.

Seriously what's wrong in the sentnece?

[sudden panther]

Idk.

[ocean robin]

Then it means it's right.

[sudden panther]

Maybe I'm just dumb. 🤔

[fair iron]

That's out of the question.

[ocean robin]

Nope.

[sudden panther]

🙁

[ocean robin]

lol Casca

Then I want cookie because it's righto. Except if there's Solet who bursts in and says "flop wtf"

[sudden panther]

You got 3 cookies last time though.

Casca can give you one.

[ocean robin]

Yaaaaay!

[sudden panther]

I'm all out of cookies. All I can give out are bans.

[fair iron]

🍪

[ocean robin]

Ah no thank you.

[viscid cape]

Wow.

[ocean robin]

Yaaaay thankies!

[viscid cape]

You rejected Casca's cookie.

[ocean robin]

Internet is dumb.

I was responding to Arrem.

He wanted to give me a ban.

[viscid cape]

Bans deserve some love too

[ocean robin]

🤔

[viscid cape]

Ready for your next exercise

[ocean robin]

Wanted translateronni ;u;

[viscid cape]

Humm better ask the others, I'm not particularly creative

[fair iron]

I'm sure the sentences you can come up with are just as great as the rest.

[sudden panther]

I heard that the colleague, that you talked to yesterday, got sick.

If you have to, do it part by part, but get it right.

[ocean robin]

👀

Must eat.

[viscid cape]

😂

[whole rapids]

how convenient

[sudden panther]

^

[shy bobcat]

wow

fläps

smh

😒

[placid heath]

Faule Ausrede. Ich ess vorm PC!

[shy bobcat]

^

[viscid cape]

-stares at Korea's greasy keyboard-

[placid heath]

Ich ess auf Tellern. Bin ja keine Sau.

[fair iron]

Das mit der Tastatur hat auch eher was mit deinen Fingern zu tun. ^^

Keiner hat vermutet, dass deine Tastatur auch als Teller benutzt wird. 😄

[placid heath]

Ich ess mit Messer und Gabel, ich bin ein halbwegs zivilisierter Mitteleuropäer.

[fair iron]

^^

[ocean robin]

Oki I am back.

[placid heath]

Bäck tu wörk.

[ocean robin]

Ich habe gehört, dass der Kollege, der du mit ihn gesprochen hast, wurde krank.
Please. This sounds off.

[placid heath]

Yes, it's wrong.

Fix it.

[ocean robin]

🤔

But where?

[placid heath]

after the second comma

[ocean robin]

Dat "der" huh

[placid heath]

to the very end.

:P

[ocean robin]

[placid heath]

sprechen mit

what case

[ocean robin]

Dat?

AH AH AHHHH.

I must go again.

[placid heath]

: waevoli:

waevoli b&.

[fair iron]

[placid heath]

pssst

[fair iron]

^^

[timid olive]

Guten Abend

[placid heath]

Nabend

[shy bobcat]

[fair iron]

[shy bobcat]

anyone got a good place I can go to look for translation sentences

instead of pestering #general-2 😏

[whole rapids]

like what we do here?

[ocean robin]

Okay I am back.'

So it's "mit jdm sprechen"

[fair iron]

Yep.

[ocean robin]

Ich habe gehört, dass der Kollege, der du mit ihm gesprochen hast, wurde krank.`` :v

[fair iron]

Still needs fixing.

[ocean robin]

Ah ah ahhh.

[fair iron]

Starting immediately after the second comma.

[ocean robin]

🤔

Dat der yeah it bothers me.

[fair iron]

^^

[ocean robin]

I searched for so long for a word that I could use instead of der, but couldn't find it

[fair iron]

It's a word already present in that clause.

You just need to move it to the front.

[ocean robin]

🤔

[fair iron]

How would you phrase that clause in English, Flappy?

[ocean robin]

wow I have no idea

mmmh, the original was: [...] that colleague, that you talked to yesterday, [...]"

[fair iron]

The German comes closer to: [...] that colleague, with whom you talked yesterday, [...].

[ocean robin]

🤔

[fair iron]

Try using that clause instead.

[ocean robin]

Whom now?

Ah ah ah.

Wait whaaat, it's mit which is position 1?

[fair iron]

Yes.

[ocean robin]

Ich habe gehört, dass der Kollege, mit ihm du gesprochen hast, wurde krank. Deleted the der. It didn't have an use anymore. 🤔

"Mit dem ihm" would be weird as fok.

[fair iron]

Which is why you only use two of those words, and not all three. ^^

[shy bobcat]

yeah

[ocean robin]

Aren't there other mistakies?

[shy bobcat]

“mit ihm” means “with him” and casca says it should be “with whom”... so therefore...

[fair iron]

There are, Flappy.

However, you first have to choose two of these three words to use: mit dem ihm.

[ocean robin]

yaaaaas

i wanted mit and ihm, the dem seems sooo wrong

Don't tell me it's "dem ihm"

[shy bobcat]

the dem seems so wrong
why?

[fair iron]

It can't be dem ihm, Flappy.

[ocean robin]

I have no idea, instinct is speaking at the moment

but eh

[fair iron]

[...] whom him [...] doesn't work either, does it? ^^

[ocean robin]

Nope 🤔

And don't tell me it's genitive 🤔

[fair iron]

There you go. ^^

So, what are we left with?

Is it mit ihm, or mit dem?

[ocean robin]

👀

want to say mit ihm so badly

mit dem looks uuuh

[shy bobcat]

you’ve already used one of those, and we’ve already called you wrong for it

[ocean robin]

Yeah.

But mit dem seems weird for me 🤔

[shy bobcat]

well it’s not

[ocean robin]

yeah, I am just learning I guess

[shy bobcat]

now write the sentence again

with mit dem

[fair iron]

^

[ocean robin]

Ich habe gehört, dass der Kollege, mit dem du gesprochen hast, wurde krank.

🤔

[shy bobcat]

you dropped the du lol

[ocean robin]

lol please

[shy bobcat]

put the du back, and then there should only be one real mistake left

[ocean robin]

done

[fair iron]

On to the final mistake!

[ocean robin]

And is it the "wurde krank" hell yeeah

[pine ginkgo]

"final"

[ocean robin]

solet please

[fair iron]

^^

[shy bobcat]

[...], dass der Kollege [...] wurde krank you see the issue here?

[pine ginkgo]

yo flaps

[ocean robin]

yo solet

[pine ginkgo]

listen to teeislein

[fair iron]

What happens to the syntax after a comma, Flappy?

[ocean robin]

🤔

Ah ah ahhhh.

You mean that of there's dass then subordinating, sure

[fair iron]

Now go complete your translation one last time. 😃

[ocean robin]

But eh, what.

krank wurde? 🤔

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo you know full well I meant “in this sentence”... of course this isn’t gonna be the last mistake fläps will ever make 😛

@ocean robin ✅ now write the sentence out

[fair iron]

🎉

^

[ocean robin]

Ich habe gehört, dass der Kollege, mit dem du gesprochen hast, krank wurde.

Weee.

I wonder if the godmode which occured this morning will ever happen again. 🤔

[shy bobcat]

🤔

what godmode

[ocean robin]

Because holy shit this morning

[shy bobcat]

your “morning” was probably my “lel I’m sleeping” so

I have no idea

😛

[ocean robin]

yeah you were sleeping

[pine ginkgo]

i don't know flaps

[ocean robin]

[pine ginkgo]

the first thing i saw this morning

was arrem telling me i lost my bet

because of you

[ocean robin]

LOL

[thick charm]

get destroyed

[shy bobcat]

Fläpp ruined the server’s emojis by flopping

[ocean robin]

It's not because of me, it's because of nicht placement

[shy bobcat]

...and who is messing up nicht placement?

[pine ginkgo]

which is because of you

flaps

all day

and yesterday

[ocean robin]

[pine ginkgo]

and last week

and the week before

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo I know flaps is messing it up, that was a rhetorical question 😛

[pine ginkgo]

:D

(for emphasis)

:D

[shy bobcat]

meanwhile I’m messing up genders like should not be allowed for a learner of three years 😅

[ocean robin]

Of 3 years? You got B2 in 3 years? :0

[fair iron]

Correction: He almost got further than B2 in three years.

[pine ginkgo]

the only thing keeping him from C1

is himself

😦

[shy bobcat]

and der and das

😦

which are again myself

so in the end luna is right

@fair iron >almost

has said ”ihr können” and “das Schirm” within a week

[ocean robin]

I learn German since a good 2 years and I am A2.

[fair iron]

Hence the almost. ^^

You've improved massively in a short space of time, Flappy.

Be proud of that.

[whole rapids]

Arizona is C1 in my heart

[pine ginkgo]

in my heart he is A

[ocean robin]

I am D2 in your hearts

[whole rapids]

do you have a heart tho

[ocean robin]

Except in Solet's, he think I am C-2

And yeah Casca, this server helps a lot

Because it actually made me liking German as I did when I discovered it, adn I had a ton of motivation which is still here

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo In my heart I am A--

[whole rapids]

we may have a bit of fun with the mobben but you are indeed getting better

hopefully your memory will improve too

[ocean robin]

Normally, I can memorize things fast but idk, maybe it's because I learn a lot of things at once that I forgot some important points

[nocturne spruce]

Arizona would almost certainly pass a C1 test

[whole rapids]

I will feel B1 forever until I can understand Tagesschau regularly

[shy bobcat]

except Dem Gendre

[nocturne spruce]

But I feel like he wants more than a pass

[shy bobcat]

I just feel shaky lel

[nocturne spruce]

to call himself a C level

[ocean robin]

I should take notes, like I just write the prepositions with their cases and then poof

[nocturne spruce]

I'm still shaky, at most I'm as good as you are

[ocean robin]

Ayyyy I can't pass a B test.

[nocturne spruce]

Although, I'm probably a bit worse

[whole rapids]

how well do C1 tests prove your fluency anyway?

[nocturne spruce]

Depends on how you pass them

For example, I barely passed and with a heavy skew towards reading and listening in comparison to speaking and writing

[cold vessel]

Did you do a C test, ninja?

Ah okay

[nocturne spruce]

Yeah, the university admission test is a C1 equivelant

I failed a Goethe one about a month and a half before the university one btw

[whole rapids]

yeah, comprehension seems much easier than, uh, expression, i.e. speaking and writing

[sudden panther]

Ayyyy I can't pass a B test.
true

[ocean robin]

'Allo mein name ist Flops

[sudden panther]

Many exam centers will let you use a dictionary for B2+.

That's what kept me from memeing up my genders.

[ocean robin]

I am just waiting first for the English test I'll have. Tbh I am kinda nervous to see if my level is below B2. Because it'd be weird.

[sudden panther]

If you get anything less than 100%, we'll consider you an A2.

[ocean robin]

[nocturne spruce]

Arrem

Get level C

[sudden panther]

One day.

[nocturne spruce]

Make it today

Right now

[lavish saddle]

I hope my uni lets me use a dictionary 🤔

[shy bobcat]

anyone got a good place I can go to look for translation sentences instead of pestering #general-2 😏
I never got an answer because flüp came back

[viscid cape]

You mean in exams?

[nocturne spruce]

What about that website that has texts in two languages

and you can press them to switch

[viscid cape]

There's the app beelingua

[sudden panther]

We can make #general3-3000. Every member will have their own general.

[viscid cape]

It's very good.

[nocturne spruce]

wouldn't that be a good idea, like read the English one, translate it, then check the actual translation

[shy bobcat]

yeah, but that doesn’t take into account synonyms

[sudden panther]

Find a text in German. Google translate it to English and then try translating it back and fixing all the possible memes that google put it.

[shy bobcat]

and slightly different phrasings

[whole rapids]

do you have an account on lang8?

[viscid cape]

Duolingo used to have that in immersion

[ocean robin]

lmao Arrem

[viscid cape]

Unfortunately it was removed

Arrem do you still read stuff in bosnian?

So as not to forget it

I think I'd read far more often in my mother tongue if I moved abroad

[sudden panther]

Meh. I read the local news, that's about it.

[shy bobcat]

I would read as little as possible in english to get rid of it tbh

😩

[sudden panther]

Even when I was home I did most of my reading in English.

Because internet™.

[shy bobcat]

lel

[nocturne spruce]

Did you sometimes randomly speak English with your family, because this happened quite often for me, until I started actively avoiding it

[whole rapids]

do you have an account on lang8? @shy bobcat

[shy bobcat]

no 😦

[whole rapids]

gg

closed until next year probs

that site is perfect for this type of stuff, albeit your texts don't always get corrected

[shy bobcat]

well I guess I’ll just pester you guys

and get meme suggestions from arrem 😏

“Translate the complete works of Shakespeare”

[sudden panther]

implying i was memeing

[shy bobcat]

[sudden panther]

I mean. It's not even a bad idea for learning about style/advanced vocab and what not. Except you take something a bit less silly and a bit more modern. And then you translate a paragraph and compare your work to the actual German translation.

[red pewter]

No more Shakespeare

I did that. I cry

[fair iron]

Shame, I love Shakespeare. ^^

[sudden panther]

Slept well, bell? 😄

[shy bobcat]

I like shakespeare

but using it and comparing for translating is pointless

since it’s poetry

[red pewter]

Ich schlafe seit drei Stunden 👌

[viscid cape]

That would imply you're still sleeping

[fair iron]

I've been sleeping for three hours.

[red pewter]

D:

[fair iron]

Somnambulism?

[viscid cape]

😂

[red pewter]

I'm amazing

[ocean robin]

[viscid cape]

You're learning German even while sleeping, whereas Flappo is slacking off

[shy bobcat]

@fair iron actually funny timing, I was gonna ask, in somethnig like “Ich schlafe drei Stunden (lang)” what difference does that lang make

[viscid cape]

[ocean robin]

wat I am not slacking off rn

[fair iron]

I sleep for a length of three hours.

[ocean robin]

lol

[fair iron]

In English length is often merely implied.

[ocean robin]

wat

[shy bobcat]

so is the lang more obligatory in German

[ocean robin]

Can I have sentence? ;u;

[shy bobcat]

Everyone should get a sentence 😄

who’s here

[fair iron]

I'd only use the lang if you want to specifiy the length.

[sudden panther]

I'm gonna go take a lovely shower. Ari/Casca, pls give Floppo a sentence and make it nice and similar to that one I gave her up there (A clause in the middle of another clause) because those are messing up her word order skills. Or just give her the genitive and nicht.

[ocean robin]

holy

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin “My computer, which I tried to fix yesterday, still will not turn on”. Go

[ocean robin]

[shy bobcat]

oops I used a nicht

rip flöp

[ocean robin]

screams internally

[fair iron]

The strange individual, whose creased hat and long overcoat gave the impression of a detective, slowly walked up to my father.

Start with Arizona's sentence.

^^

[ocean robin]

whoa what 👀

[shy bobcat]

I’ll take it you’ve been reading some mystery books recently @fair iron

😛

[fair iron]

I thought you were ready for a challenge. ^^

[viscid cape]

I can't even read the English version

[ocean robin]

geeez I see genitive in there

[shy bobcat]

what with the one sentence

[viscid cape]

[fair iron]

Haha, nope.

[shy bobcat]

and this one

[fair iron]

I just wanted to include creased, for some reason.

A hat gave me the perfect excuse.

[shy bobcat]

lel

[ocean robin]

LOP

[viscid cape]

what's creased

[sudden panther]

Flop. Go. Do. Your. Sentence.

[ocean robin]

Reminds me when we put a word in my French essay and that I had +1 point for it :^)

[fair iron]

A crease is a rough fold.

[ocean robin]

And what's a fold?

[sudden panther]

If you're not done by the time I'm back, we'll shoot your dog.

V <- folded line

[ocean robin]

Should I say that I don't own a doggo?

[sudden panther]

Dammit Flops we talked about this before. We buy you a doggo. And then we shoot it.

[ocean robin]

[fair iron]

Un pli, Flappy.

[shy bobcat]

well this is as good as I could do Casca’s without a dictionary

Der merkwürdige ???, wessen ???er Hut und lang-- ??? den Eindruck gaben, dass er ??? war, ist langsam zu meinem Vater gegangen.

time to go fill in the blanks because my vocab still sucks

[fair iron]

^^

[ocean robin]

Mein Computer, den ich gestern zu reparieren probierte, werde noch nicht andrehen.

[sudden panther]

a n d r e h e n

[ocean robin]

i smell mistakes

[fair iron]

Again, Flappy.

Wrong to turn.

[ocean robin]

[shy bobcat]

why do you kappa

what was there to kappa

[ocean robin]

just put it on dict.cc

And saw andrehen

[sudden panther]

Floppy has no idea what "irony" "" and "" mean, so she just uses them as she pleases. 😛

[ocean robin]

And said "oh well"

[shy bobcat]

how to flop:

1. use dict.cc
2. use the last word

[ocean robin]

THAT WAS THE FIRST WORD

[shy bobcat]

@sudden panther tbh I have no idea what means either I’ve just been flöpping my way through it

[minor heart]

[ocean robin]

[shy bobcat]

@fair iron Der merkwürdige Einzele, dessen gefalteter Hut und langer Übermantel den Eindruck gaben, dass er Dekektiv war, ist langsam zu meinem Vater gegangen.

🤔

[whole rapids]

I thought it meant "haha, I knew that along" or "haha, I am such a dumbo" or "haha, I dun goofed"

[sudden panther]

Well at least she didn't go for that kind of a turn on.

[shy bobcat]

😩

[fair iron]

👌

[ocean robin]

AlsO I see that nIchT pLacemnT

[fair iron]

Commendable effort.

[ocean robin]

[shy bobcat]

that means @fair iron that I made a silly error somewhere

[sudden panther]

is a lovely little meme. You use it like kappa or when you're making a memeful joke or just memeing in general.

[ocean robin]

[fair iron]

Not at all, what you wrote is grammatically correct.

[sudden panther]

But not when you're giving us your answer to a question. 😛

[shy bobcat]

I pretty much have been using it as like “I’m smiling but I’m dying on the inside“

[ocean robin]

grammatically

[fair iron]

I would only change der Einzelne for das Individuum.

That's about it, though.

[shy bobcat]

I was debating just Mensch, Einzelperson, etc

😅

[fair iron]

Also, der *geknitterte Hut.

[nocturne spruce]

I haven't used it, but I always thought of it as a way to say that you have no clue what you just wrote

or to distance yourself from it

[fair iron]

Else you're saying the folded hat, which tends to be made out of newspaper. ^^

[ocean robin]

LOL

[shy bobcat]

@fair iron oh I knew that

[nocturne spruce]

Casca's knowledge of Hats is impressive

[shy bobcat]

when flapps just kappas something at random 😩

[red pewter]

I was assigned to write a story with adjectives

[nocturne spruce]

And I seriously need to stop capitalising nouns in English

[red pewter]

I wrote my paragraph

[shy bobcat]

speaking of which, where’s flaps flapped off to

[ocean robin]

I aam here.

[nocturne spruce]

Flappy land or #general

Are the only places she goes to during translations

[ocean robin]

[sudden panther]

Ban Hatska.

[ocean robin]

ANYWAY SENTNECE.

So andrehen is wrong lel

Starten?

🤔

[sudden panther]

Certainly better than andrehen.

[shy bobcat]

yeah

but that means “start” not “turn on” 😛

[ocean robin]

[shy bobcat]

I’ll tell you, the correct translations are pretty high up on the dict.cc

just not the first one

[sudden panther]

Definitely needs more anmachen. 😦

[shy bobcat]

the correct translation is staring you in the face

but yeah anmachen could work too

[ocean robin]

[shy bobcat]

you know what, arrem gave you a word that works, do anmachen

[ocean robin]

okay

[red pewter]

would someone look at my paragraph? It's pretty silly :33

[ocean robin]

Mein Computer, den ich gestern zu reparieren probierte, werde noch nicht anmachen.

[nocturne spruce]

Sure

[ocean robin]

Ayyyy Bell show to us.

[nocturne spruce]

Post it, we'll take a look

[shy bobcat]

ok @ocean robin next mistake

zu-verbs

[sudden panther]

I refuse to interpret anmachen as anything other than that kind of turning on.

[shy bobcat]

“gestern zu reparieren probierte”

[red pewter]

Der starke Hund geht zum Supermarkt mit einer netten Katze. Sie wünschen Nachtessen kochen. Später brauchen sie ein kleines Geschenk für eine Party. Die graue Maus hat die Party. Die Katze gibt der graue Maus ein kleines Stück Emmentaler. Der lustige Hund gibt der Maus eine Tasse frischen Kaffee. Die Maus mag keinen Kaffee. Er ist ein schlechtes Geschenk für eine wählerische Maus.

[shy bobcat]

@sudden panther shhh, it works

[ocean robin]

please halp for that zu

LOL WHAT BELL

[sudden panther]

Well anyway, long overdue shower time.

[red pewter]

we were told to write a paragraph ❤

[shy bobcat]

well first off I think that probieren is not the best word for try

in this context

[ocean robin]

[nocturne spruce]

it works, but just like "Attempt" is better than "Try" in the english context

There is a better word in German

[shy bobcat]

tbh I’d prefer try

but that’s just me

[ocean robin]

True 🤔

[shy bobcat]

but anyway

@ocean robin go back on dict.cc and look at the other translations it gives for “try”

besides probieren

[ocean robin]

Versuchen 🤔

[shy bobcat]

yes

good fläp

[ocean robin]

yay

[shy bobcat]

now then

rewrite with versuchen

[nocturne spruce]

Nice paragraph Bell

but why Das Maus

[shy bobcat]

and use Perfekt rather than Präteritum

[red pewter]

!!!it's die

[nocturne spruce]

Yup

[red pewter]

I really thought it was das

[nocturne spruce]

When in doubt, look up the word

[ocean robin]

Mein Computer, den ich gestern zu reparieren versuchte, werde noch nicht anmachen.

lol arizona

[shy bobcat]

use Perfekt

[ocean robin]

geeeez

[shy bobcat]

Preterite sounds bookish

[ocean robin]

[shy bobcat]

so, rewrite it with versuchen in the perfekt

[red pewter]

Der starke Hund geht zum Supermarkt mit einer netten Katze. Sie wünschen Abendessen kochen. Später brauchen sie ein kleines Geschenk für eine Party. Die graue Maus hat die Party. Die Katze gibt der graue Maus ein kleines Stück Emmentaler. Der lustige Hund gibt der Maus eine Tasse frischen Kaffee. Die Maus mag keinen Kaffee. Er ist ein schlechtes Geschenk für eine wählerische Maus.

[ocean robin]

Mein Computer, den ich gestern zu reparieren versucht habe, werde noch nicht anmachen.

[shy bobcat]

right

[red pewter]

I think I fixed it

[ocean robin]

Then zu.

[pine ginkgo]

what do you mean with Nachtessen

[shy bobcat]

if I put a comma where a comma belongs:

[...] den ich gestern, zu reparieren versucht habe [...]

maybe you’ll see the issue

[red pewter]

....is that not dinner?

[ocean robin]

AH AH AHHHH.

[nocturne spruce]

Abendessen

[pine ginkgo]

no

[red pewter]

D:

[shy bobcat]

Remember to put your commas @ocean robin they’ll help you construct more correct german

[nocturne spruce]

Nacht means late at night

[pine ginkgo]

i think you can drop that comma, teeeis

but i am not sure 🤔

[nocturne spruce]

A point, when you really shouldn't be eating dinner 😄

[whole rapids]

Midnight food, yummy.

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo you probably can but flöp needs it for verb placement reasons

[red pewter]

Der starke Hund geht zum Supermarkt mit einer netten Katze. Sie wünschen Abendessen kochen. Später brauchen sie ein kleines Geschenk für eine Party. Die graue Maus hat die Party. Die Katze gibt der graue Maus ein kleines Stück Emmentaler. Der lustige Hund gibt der Maus eine Tasse frischen Kaffee. Die Maus mag keinen Kaffee. Er ist ein schlechtes Geschenk für eine wählerische Maus.

[ocean robin]

Um...zu? 🤔

[shy bobcat]

no not “um ... zu” here

[ocean robin]

ah ah

[pine ginkgo]

also bell

the verb is

wünschen etwas zu tun

[shy bobcat]

The “clause” den ich gestern is missing its verbs, they’re not with the rest of it

[red pewter]

O_O

want something to do?

[pine ginkgo]

wish

[whole rapids]

You wrote "They wish to cook dinner."

[shy bobcat]

I’m trying to teach fläppy but my own german is pretty messy

[red pewter]

Wish to cook dinner sounds fine....why the need for the bonus words?

[ocean robin]

den ich gestern versucht habe, zu reparieren 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

what bonus words?

[shy bobcat]

yes

[pine ginkgo]

the german translation for

[ocean robin]

That doesn't make sense at all tf

[shy bobcat]

yes it does

[red pewter]

wünschen etwas zu tun

[pine ginkgo]

to wish to do something

is

wünschen etwas zu tun

[ocean robin]

typo

i saw it

[nocturne spruce]

Pferd, she didn't write Wish to cook dinner she wrote Wish cook dinner

That's the point of the Zu

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo yo, what would the verb for “to turn on” or “to boot up” be, since now that I think about it anmachen would be like “I turn it on” rather than “It turns on”

[pine ginkgo]

anschalten

[viscid cape]

@nocturne spruce What?

[red pewter]

oh. So Sie wünschen zu Abendsessen kochen?

[pine ginkgo]

oh

angehen

maybe

[shy bobcat]

angehen makes sense

[nocturne spruce]

My Bad

[pine ginkgo]

or sich anschalten

[nocturne spruce]

forgive me Kryp

[shy bobcat]

will angehen work

[pine ginkgo]

no

[viscid cape]

I forgive thee, good friend

[pine ginkgo]

bell

[shy bobcat]

I don’t want to confuse flöp with sich yet

[placid heath]

angehen impliziert dass es es von alleine tut

[pine ginkgo]

read my verb again

[whole rapids]

I meant, that's what she wanted to write, rather than what she actually wrote

[pine ginkgo]

wüschen etwas zu tun

etwas before zu

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin anyway rewrite the sentence with the versucht habe in the right place

[red pewter]

Sie wünschen etwas zu Abendessen kochen?

[whole rapids]

oh nvm, I wrote my sentence as if she actually wrote that, hence your confusion, mb

[red pewter]

no

[pine ginkgo]

no

[red pewter]

i'm dumb

don't

wait

[nocturne spruce]

Etwas is replaced by a noun

While tun is replaced by a verb

[whole rapids]

she said "don't"!!!

[pine ginkgo]

what is the something in your sentence

I DONT CARE

[red pewter]

Sie wünschen Abendessen zu kochen.

[pine ginkgo]

i learned from flaps

[ocean robin]

Mein Computer, den ich gestern versucht habe, zu reparieren, werde noch nicht anmachen.

[pine ginkgo]

that i can ignore WAITS and DONTS

:D

but yeah

[whole rapids]

interesting

[ocean robin]

i learned from flaps
WHAT

[whole rapids]

shall now commence to always ignore them

[pine ginkgo]

anyway next, bell

Die Maus hat die Party

you are missing a verb

actually

a participle

[viscid cape]

how do you highlight a sentence like that?

[ocean robin]

``

[red pewter]

would it be better to say something like "Is hosting the party"?

[pine ginkgo]

yep

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin while I still try to figure on what the best word to replace anmachen with in this context is, look at the verb conjugation of “werden”

[viscid cape]

´´test´´

test

[ocean robin]

SHIET

[viscid cape]

Thanks Flappo.

[ocean robin]

Mein Computer, den ich gestern versucht habe, zu reparieren, wird noch nicht anmachen.

[pine ginkgo]

uhm

is this

futur

or passiv

[viscid cape]

@ocean robin Did you read Korea's tip

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo future

[ocean robin]

🤔

[shy bobcat]

I wrote the sentence

[pine ginkgo]

use angehen

[viscid cape]

Ops nevermind

[shy bobcat]

“my computer which I tried to fix yesterday won’t turn on”

[ocean robin]

This should be future

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo yeah I was about to tell her to use angehen

because I had to ask the natives, so I was gonna be kind 😄

[ocean robin]

Mein Computer, den ich gestern versucht habe, zu reparieren, wird noch nicht angehen.

Any other mistakes?

woooooo

[shy bobcat]

just kidding, ’orrible

[whole rapids]

spam more commas

[ocean robin]

Now Casca's :^)

[nocturne spruce]

Hell no

[ocean robin]

hell yes

[nocturne spruce]

We have a limited life span Flappy

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin gl fläp I had to look a bunch of words up lel

[cold vessel]

wut

[pine ginkgo]

The strange individual, whose creased hat and long overcoat gave the impression of a detective, slowly walked up to my father.

[red pewter]

Die maus eine party schmeißen?

[pine ginkgo]

verb

bell

conjugation

and position

[cold vessel]

What's the point of that comma before "zu"?

[pine ginkgo]

it's optional iirc

but i am a bit iffy on the correct usage for those

[red pewter]

Die Maus schmeißt eine Party.

[pine ginkgo]

it only works if the clause only consists of zu + infinitive i think
