general-2

[ocean robin]

so first we could replace mache by macht and then I don't know 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

yep

i was just wondering f, if you knew what you did there

or if it was just a mistake

:D

[placid heath]

wonderif

[ocean robin]

lel

[tribal warren]

In case it was what you meant, what would it mean, @pine ginkgo ?

[placid heath]

BAC > 4% confirmed

[cold vessel]

What does Konjunktiv 1 mean in that context?

[pine ginkgo]

indirect speech, berg

[ocean robin]

[cold vessel]

Shouldn't it be 2 though?

[placid heath]

wondering f
BAC > 10% confirmed

[pine ginkgo]

yep

[cold vessel]

Like, if she hypothetically made a mistake

[pine ginkgo]

she did

no

konjunktiv 1

is indirect speech

so it would work, when she reported what korea said

[hot cloak]

is it indirect speech ?

[pine ginkgo]

no

or well, we can't tell

[cold vessel]

But wouldn't 2 actually make sense in that sentence?

[pine ginkgo]

why?

of course it can

[hot cloak]

so using of Konjunktiv 1 is a mistake

[pine ginkgo]

but you have just to justify it

[hot cloak]

?

[pine ginkgo]

in this case yes

but if she had a proper explanation for using it

it would be okay

[ocean robin]

Because Solet, I don't know abour Konjunktiv 1 and 2 yet

[pine ginkgo]

yep

[hot cloak]

ok thanks 😉

[ocean robin]

So I can't use them 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

that's why i was asking to make sure

[cold vessel]

@pine ginkgo Well, my justification for using 2 would be that it's talking about what happens if she hypothetically makes a mistake

[pine ginkgo]

sure

[ocean robin]

I did a mistake there though

[pine ginkgo]

it's similar to the english if constructions

If she makes a mistake, I will ban her

etc

of course you can also express the same in konjunktiv

but that changes the mode of the sentence a bit

[tribal warren]

Third sentence is still wrong, right?

[ocean robin]

I dunno

[tribal warren]

It is 👀

[ocean robin]

👀

where the fuck is it wrongo

[rugged frost]

It's not grammatically wrong

[ocean robin]

lel

[tribal warren]

I read the one before that

[hot cloak]

😂

[ocean robin]

[tribal warren]

went too far up on the convo

[placid heath]

the word berechnen does not fit there.

[ocean robin]

ah ah ahhhh

[tribal warren]

oh nvm xD

[placid heath]

It's etwas berechnen.

[ocean robin]

wat

[hot cloak]

May I guess the verb

🤔

[placid heath]

There's nothing they are calculating in that sentence.

[ocean robin]

🤔

[rugged frost]

True, my bad

[placid heath]

As a result, etwas berechnen does not fit

[ocean robin]

Rechen? Errechen?

[cold vessel]

dict.cc seems to indicate it can be used both with and without an object

[placid heath]

Rechen

Flappy.

Typos.

[rugged frost]

It sounds weird without an object

[ocean robin]

lol I did the typo 2 times

[placid heath]

Yup.

Ein Rechen ist ein Werkzeug.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a3/GrassRake.jpg

[hot cloak]

oh cool

[ocean robin]

Rechnen / errechnen?

LOL

[hot cloak]

a new word

rechnen I guess

🤔

[quasi merlin]

"berechnen" works without an object, but it sounds like I know what they're calculating, but I don't .. nobody does

[ocean robin]

TIL I didn't know it was a grass rake in English.

[rugged frost]

errechnen is also transitive

[ocean robin]

Mika that's sed

[placid heath]

sed

:flag_ddr:

Flappy is today typo-day?

[tribal warren]

sadderino

[ocean robin]

This one was intentional

[placid heath]

o: She's a spy!

[ocean robin]

[ocean robin]

LOL

[placid heath]

Ich hab natürlich nur gutes über den Genossen Generalsekretär zu sagen.

[hot cloak]

[pine ginkgo]

Bäfer

🤔

[ocean robin]

[hot cloak]

manchmal verstehe ich gar nicht, worüber Leute hier reden

[quasi merlin]

Über Memes und Spione.

[tribal warren]

@hot cloak gleichfalls

[ocean robin]

^

[quasi merlin]

Fläppers, der Satz

[ocean robin]

1.Flops hat heute gelernt, dass es Teile von der Autobahn ohne Geschwindigkeitsgrenze gibt. 2. Flops wird gebannt sein, falls sie einen Fehler mache. 3. Die Computer errechnen im Rechnerraum.

[thick charm]

Flops wird gebannt sein, falls sie einen Fehler mache.

[quasi merlin]

Ok, Flops, und jetzt mach die Fehler weg.

[tribal warren]

gebannt

[ocean robin]

yus gebannt

[pine ginkgo]

and flops wants a cookie

ehehe

[ocean robin]

Wait there's still 1 mistake?

Yeaaaaah I want a cookie :<

[hot cloak]

flapps

[ocean robin]

yues

oh wait

[hot cloak]

.....

say no more

[pine ginkgo]

just ban her

i know

shhh

[ocean robin]

I see the mistake I did again on mache >_>

[pine ginkgo]

so

fix it

[rugged frost]

You also can't really use errechnen because it also takes an object, same as berechnen

[ocean robin]

1.Flops hat heute gelernt, dass es Teile von der Autobahn ohne Geschwindigkeitsgrenze gibt. 2. Flops wird gebannt sein, falls sie einen Fehler macht. 3. Die Computer errechnen im Rechnerraum.

Oh please.

[dire sentinel]

moin leute

[ocean robin]

Hai Creepy!

[dire sentinel]

ich habe eine Frage

[ocean robin]

Jep?

[placid heath]

errechnen

:(

[ocean robin]

but which verb do I use

[dire sentinel]

Was ist ihre lieblingsgarnierung fuer Toast

had to dict.cc that one incase it's the wrong word

[thick charm]

Belag would be the word to use

Lieblingsbelag

Garnierung is closer to decoration

[dire sentinel]

Oh, it said that one was for Pizza

[rugged frost]

You could also add an object, then you don't need to change the verb

[dire sentinel]

but cool

[placid heath]

https://www.dict.cc/?s=calculate @ocean robin

[pine ginkgo]

Lieblings-Was kommt drauf

🤔

:P

[ocean robin]

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

wait what 🤔

[dire sentinel]

Lieblingsbelag für Toast, then

[sudden panther]

How can you not know how to translate the 3rd sentence.

[ocean robin]

IDK Arrem.

[sudden panther]

You literally read it out loud for us. 😐

[placid heath]

D__ _______ _______ im Rechnerraum.

[ocean robin]

🤔

[vale moon]

Are there any books with half english half german pages? i saw one from Hegel's Science of Logic, each page split in half and they were english on the left german translation on the right

[ocean robin]

Oh yeah Arrem.

Rechnet?

[placid heath]

Is that the infinitive?

[viscid cape]

@vale moon Try googling for a text originally written in german with the feature"bilingual edition"

[sudden panther]

Paralleltext.io or something

[thick charm]

rechne-

[ocean robin]

Something like that 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

flops-

[ocean robin]

[placid heath]

Bäfe-

[sudden panther]

Swear to God we should dump this whole German thing and let her play memory games instead.

[vale moon]

thanks

[ocean robin]

please no

[viscid cape]

@vale moon The app beelingua is also useful

[quasi merlin]

Memory games like .... Memory

[pine ginkgo]

yes

[sudden panther]

Precisely.

[ocean robin]

wow TIL.

[placid heath]

She just needs to play skribbl. We'll modify the game so that she has to draw Rechnerraum, every time

[ocean robin]

LOL

[pine ginkgo]

we gonna evolve her goldfish memory

[vale moon]

i prefer printed stuff

but i will look into that

[twilit garden]

@vale moon https://www.amazon.de/Englisch-Zweisprachige-Lektüre-Bücher/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=n%3A186606%2Ck%3AEnglisch%3B Zweisprachige Lektüre

[cold vessel]

Is flappy done with the 2nd sentence so I can ask some questions about it?

[twilit garden]

technically she is done

so go ahead

[cold vessel]

Flops wird gebannt werden, wenn sie irgendwelche Fehler macht.

1. Does it make sense to use the future passive here?
2. Can I use wenn instead of falls?
3. Does irgendwelche work?

[twilit garden]

1. yes
2. yes
3. yes

[cold vessel]

Would you prefer falls or wenn?

[pine ginkgo]

in this case, i would prefer falls

[twilit garden]

german wenn is both if and when combined so it is easier to use but falls is a bit more formal

i'd personally go with wenn here but both fit here equally

[cold vessel]

Thanks!

By the way, is there a word that only means when (in the same context as wenn)?

[dire sentinel]

wann

[cold vessel]

wann is only for time I thought

[twilit garden]

"wann" has a different usage

you cannot use it in this sentence for example

[dire sentinel]

sorry i thought that was the question

oops

[cold vessel]

That's why I specificed it should be in the same context as wenn

Something like that, but that avoids the meaning of if

[twilit garden]

you could use "sobald" here but it implies that Fläppers is definitely going to make a mistake at some point

a bit like "as soon as"

[cold vessel]

Yes, that's the meaning I'm looking for

Avoiding the hypothetical

[pine ginkgo]

in this context, it wouldn't be unreasonable to use sobald

eheheh

runs

[twilit garden]

während = while

grammatically speaking it would fit here as well but the meaning gets distorted

[hot cloak]

i don't think I understand this:

Obwohl der fremde Mann dadurch nichts erfahren haben konnte, was er nicht schon früher gewußt hätte,

[pine ginkgo]

what are you reading, mitch?

how did you get as a result...

[cold vessel]

Kafka, he said

[pine ginkgo]

wait

[hot cloak]

dadurch = therefore, as a result?

[sudden panther]

Yes.

[pine ginkgo]

but how did you get the part after that

[sudden panther]

In a way. How did you get the "as a result of exprwaopfaf yeah that

[pine ginkgo]

the part after that isn't in your quoted sentence part

[hot cloak]

rip

[rugged frost]

erfahren means to learn in this context not to experience

[sudden panther]

By the way, making mistakes is perfectly fine, you don't have to delete the whole thing, since that just makes it harder to help. 😉

[hot cloak]

to experience, to learn

same

[twilit garden]

Even though the foreign man could not get to know anything, what he had not known before, through it

[pine ginkgo]

fuckaianga

nemo

too fast

for me

[rugged frost]

as in: to learn new information

[hot cloak]

that's what I got from the sentence @twilit garden , but I guess I still don't understand it

ahaha

okay well 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

simple

[hot cloak]

the rest of the sentence is him asking a question

so that makes sense

[pine ginkgo]

He learned nothing, which he hasn't known before

[hot cloak]

he couldn't learn aynthing new from the question, but he is still asking anyway.

[pine ginkgo]

yeah

probably, since i don't know how it continues

:D

[hot cloak]

Ooookie 👍 ahaha

[cold vessel]

RAM prices are high at the moment

Find out if you need DDR3 or DDR4 ram first

Oh

[tribal warren]

@hot cloak do you listen to audio books in german?

[sudden panther]

Damn, that's a shame. You could have just downloaded more RAM.

[tribal warren]

@hot cloak Storage? Do you want a HHD or a SSD?

SSDs are more expensive but they're faster

I see, what I did was, I got a SSD for my windows, just like mika

and chrome and stuff that I use a lot

[pine ginkgo]

do they sell hybrid hdd/sdds for the public?

some laptops only have one slot

[sudden panther]

Buy a big rope, tie up a cloud above your house and upload all your stuff there.

[hot cloak]

@tribal warren check #resources

free text + audio book for kafka

warning: it's extremely hard lol

[tribal warren]

@hot cloak that looks too hard, though, yea

[hot cloak]

i'm writing it all out page by page myself, and picking it apart.

[tribal warren]

@hot cloak It's just that I'm going on a trip and I want to do some audiobooks while I'm at it, but I don't know what to start with, I'm thinking Grimm Brothers

[sudden panther]

Your laptop has a hole where you can insert another hard drive? 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

anyway mitch

[hot cloak]

i've heard brothers grimm is hard too actually

[twilit garden]

@hot cloak are you reading it on paralleltext?

[ocean robin]

wow those notes

magnificent

[pine ginkgo]

you are a brave man for trying kafka at your level

[hot cloak]

@JustNemoses yes

[twilit garden]

sorry 🙈

[pine ginkgo]

uh

[tribal warren]

@hot cloak It's hard, but I think I can understand it, after doing Rumpelstilstikin (gosh it's hard to type this name) last night

[sudden panther]

That's an SD card slot.

[pine ginkgo]

is that an ultrabook?

i don't think you can add anything there

only replace

[sudden panther]

Reading an SD card from your phone with an adapter.

[twilit garden]

Rumpelstilzchen?

[hot cloak]

@pine ginkgo i mean its not impossible, just takes longer.

But I feel my weakest points right now are hard/long Satzbau, separable verbs, pronouns that may refer back to sentences or paragraphs earlier ahaha...

all of that kafka uses extensively

[tribal warren]

@twilit garden yup

[pine ginkgo]

still, looking at how thin it is

[whole rapids]

is Kafka a particular book or just the author?

[pine ginkgo]

i don't think you can add storage

[tribal warren]

Any recommendations for a audio book that I could try?

[pine ginkgo]

at most you can only replace it

[sudden panther]

The author.

[twilit garden]

Franz Kafka was a person

[tribal warren]

@whole rapids Franz Kafka

[hot cloak]

@whole rapids Der Prozess / Die Verwandlung are on parallel text / youtube free

[sudden panther]

He was that weird kid who wrote stories about people turning into bugs.

[ocean robin]

@viscid cape this app amuses and intimidates me at the same thime

how

[whole rapids]

sounds familiar

[twilit garden]

his style of writing was kafkaesque

[whole rapids]

oooooh

that

[sudden panther]

What app?

[viscid cape]

@ocean robin try starting with the beginner level stories, they're pretty hard already and very entertaining.

[ocean robin]

👀

[viscid cape]

@sudden panther beelingua

[whole rapids]

Kafkaesque
ˌkafkəˈɛsk/
adjective
adjective: Kafkaesque

characteristic or reminiscent of the oppressive or nightmarish qualities of Franz Kafka's fictional world.

"nightmarish" jesus, sounds fun

might see if I can find it in the local library

[hot cloak]

lol yeah its good

dark, philosophical, nihilistic.

no happy endings

[twilit garden]

like real life

[whole rapids]

like real life

damn too slow

[pine ginkgo]

you can buy a bigger onew

and transfer your data

before yo ureplace it

[tribal warren]

@viscid cape does that app have Hörbücher? xd

[twilit garden]

good to hear yer scottish accent though @whole rapids

[viscid cape]

@tribal warren It can be used as such I think

[hot cloak]

lots of old books are on youtube @tribal warren

[pine ginkgo]

i mean sure, you can use SD cards to increase your stoarge

but that will be quite... volatile

[whole rapids]

oh, you heard it?

[twilit garden]

loife

[whole rapids]

0h

even my fingers type in Scottish

[twilit garden]

and now you use a zero for an O

[pine ginkgo]

it's really unsafe to have important data on your sd card :D

[whole rapids]

that was delibr4te tho

[hot cloak]

jas' loike rael loife

FTFY

[pine ginkgo]

especially how easy it is to pop it

[twilit garden]

ar ya follin ento a Loch?

[pine ginkgo]

no idea

i would replace it myself anyway

if you only use it to store photos and data

sure, use a sd card

but don't install stuff on it

[whole rapids]

naw pal, ma Haem is th' Loch

[sudden panther]

/r/hardwaregore

[pine ginkgo]

or just consider getting an external hard drive

[viscid cape]

🔥 🦊 🔥 -> Burn Flappo.

[tribal warren]

@hot cloak the thing with old books is that they are very hard for me to follow when just doing an audio book, that's why I'm trying to look for something more simple, do you know if Frankenstein is a hard book in german?

[viscid cape]

Sorry I'm bored

[pine ginkgo]

sure

don't install anything on it

though

[hot cloak]

@tribal warren i've heard its hard in english so lol

but if its on youtube, it most likely has the text on the internet too

[pine ginkgo]

look it up yourself

i have no clue about korean market

[hot cloak]

"young adult" books are great for adult 2nd lang learners @tribal warren

[pine ginkgo]

no, not really

[tribal warren]

@hot cloak Like Harry Potter?

[hot cloak]

yh

[pine ginkgo]

wha we can tell you

[hot cloak]

or like Series of Unfortunate Events

or what not

[pine ginkgo]

sd cards are the cheapest

[whole rapids]

just make sure to have a dictionary at hand when you read such books

[pine ginkgo]

you have vastly different prices

[hot cloak]

theyll have more words than just kids books, but they won't have mind bending vocab or sentence structure

[pine ginkgo]

especially if you look at australia or SEA

[hot cloak]

like old, adult books

[tribal warren]

The thing is I'm going on a trip and I kinda get motion-sick reading stuff, so the plan was mostly listening xD

[hot cloak]

idk man only listening is realy hard

[pine ginkgo]

no

[hot cloak]

and you won't learn much

[pine ginkgo]

just look it up yourself

[hot cloak]

or at least I wouldn't

i need to see the text of the word to remember it

[tribal warren]

k I'll do Eine Reihe betrüblicher Ereignisse

[hot cloak]

sounds good, the show is also on Netflix in german

😄

[tribal warren]

Yup, I've watched it

But in english cause dubbings for a live-action thing are ehh

[ocean robin]

1. Das ist das Buch meines Bruders. 2. Das ist das Auto meiner Schwester. 3. Das sind die Freunde meines Kindes. 4. Das ist Paulas Tasche. 5. Das war Boris Beckers Fehler.
genitive

[twilit garden]

It was Boris Becker's mistake

did it happen in a closet room?

[ocean robin]

what

[twilit garden]

he had an affair in a closet once

[ocean robin]

lel

OH MY GOD

[viscid cape]

See, no need to be too scared of it

[ocean robin]

FINALLY FLOPS MASTERED GENITIVE

[viscid cape]

[ocean robin]

god I am proud :^)

[nocturne spruce]

so are we

[ocean robin]

Now nicht placement

[nocturne spruce]

here 🍪

[ocean robin]

Yaaaaay!

noms cookie

[viscid cape]

Let's see if you really mastered it.

[ocean robin]

christ

[viscid cape]

😏

[ocean robin]

which 2 factors determine the use of Gen?

When you don't understand the question

[hot cloak]

i don't either lmao

[ocean robin]

please halp

[hot cloak]

possesion one of them of course...

[pine ginkgo]

i don't understand that either 🤔

[hot cloak]

is the other the use by prepositions?

[ocean robin]

Yeah but

[hot cloak]

1 and 2?

[ocean robin]

There's 2

🤔

[hot cloak]

während, z.B

[viscid cape]

=_=

Shush Peter Parker

[hot cloak]

@viscid cape explain ur chart

[ocean robin]

Krypti you explain, it's you who gave the exercise

😏

[hot cloak]

and i didnt really spoil anything, flaps knows both

[viscid cape]

It's an exercise, you're supposed to answer it

[ocean robin]

:v

But when you don't understand question

[hot cloak]

yeah it was pretty vague

[ocean robin]

it's hard to answer

[viscid cape]

What part of it?

[ocean robin]

The 1st question

[hot cloak]

"determine the use" should be worded something like "in what cases should it be used?"

[ocean robin]

"two factors"

[viscid cape]

Don't they mean the same 🤔

[ocean robin]

christ I only know 1

[hot cloak]

sort of... but the 1st is really confusing lol

[ocean robin]

Possession of something

And uuuuuh.

[viscid cape]

Okay, but that's what I meant.

[hot cloak]

flappppppps.

yyyyyyy

[ocean robin]

Yeeeeees.

[viscid cape]

Possession is one of them.

[hot cloak]

you know prepositions 😦

how about

give us TWO

prepositions

[ocean robin]

OH YEAH

[hot cloak]

that use the genitive

[viscid cape]

<_< Mitch I'ma kill you

[hot cloak]

what are the two most common

[ocean robin]

Trotz/während

[hot cloak]

gj

👍

@viscid cape i already said the answer, was going to make it into something lmao

[ocean robin]

2nd questeronni

2. Do modifier endings change for all nouns for the genitive case?

They mean the article?

If so, yus

[hot cloak]

endings of the noun

[ocean robin]

Ah.

Then no.

[viscid cape]

Explain

[hot cloak]

[viscid cape]

Wait

It says "modifier endings"

Not noun endings

[ocean robin]

Well, nouns which are masculine/neuter have an -s/-es ending

[hot cloak]

okay well that is easy @viscid cape

noun endings is a better question

and 🤔 is that right?

[ocean robin]

But what is #2 then?

[hot cloak]

are there cases in fem/plural where the noun changes? (idk)

[ocean robin]

I don't think so 🤔

[hot cloak]

me either

[ocean robin]

Only neuter and masculine

[viscid cape]

Good.

[ocean robin]

Then articles denclensions?

der = des
die = der
das = des
die (pl) = der

[viscid cape]

Good.

[ocean robin]

And nouns endings, well I already said it

[viscid cape]

Yeah, I think we got everything covered.

[ocean robin]

let me do a drawing

[viscid cape]

Alright.

[ocean robin]

[placid heath]

Draw in german.

Übersetze was da steht.

[ocean robin]

wooops 👀

Flops beherrschte endlich Genitiv

[placid heath]

Are you sure nothing is missing there?

[ocean robin]

except the Sonntag, den 1. Oktober nope

[placid heath]

Maybe an article?

[ocean robin]

🤔

[hot cloak]

flops hat der Genitiv schon beherrscht? <---- not correct, rip

[ocean robin]

TIL Genitive has an article

[placid heath]

der Genitiv

[hot cloak]

'ayy

[placid heath]

All cases are der.

[nocturne spruce]

for a direct translation, it isn't missing, but since it should have a "the" in English as well

You end up missing an article

[sudden panther]

Mastered Genitive. Bold claim. We'll see about that.

[ocean robin]

[placid heath]

We should do a translation with 10 nested genitives

[sudden panther]

Also go with endlich. Schon = already.

[ocean robin]

christ

[placid heath]

But first: Fix the translation!

[nocturne spruce]

It sounds harder than it is Flops

[viscid cape]

One thing is for sure: She mastered drawing😄

[nocturne spruce]

so dont worry

[ocean robin]

Flops beherrschte endlich den Genitiv

[sudden panther]

Falsch.

[ocean robin]

muuuuuh

[placid heath]

Why beherrschte?

[ocean robin]

Wait am I a cow to say "muuh"

[hot cloak]

must be hat beherrscht, no?

[sudden panther]

Yes you are.

[nocturne spruce]

she can use the past tense mitch, that's not the problem here

[ocean robin]

dat case

🤔

Really thought it was Akk though

[hot cloak]

oh didn't realize that was präteritum

[placid heath]

I'd use present with beherrschen

[viscid cape]

I don't know what the problem is to be frank lol

[placid heath]

Because past sounds like she no longer knows how to use it

[viscid cape]

[ocean robin]

[viscid cape]

Oh I see Korea

[nocturne spruce]

Then let's stick with past 😛

[placid heath]

=D

[shy bobcat]

probably more accuraye what with goldfish flops memory

[placid heath]

With etwas meistern past would work

[ocean robin]

[shy bobcat]

[placid heath]

Okay Flappy

[viscid cape]

So Flappy, fix your sentence for more exercises

[placid heath]

10x nested genitive translation

To prove your claim

[shy bobcat]

😉

[ocean robin]

WHAT THE FUCK

[sudden panther]

Go.

[ocean robin]

I need sentence first.

[placid heath]

k

[ocean robin]

god I am afraid

[hot cloak]

i am too

[nocturne spruce]

Don't be

[viscid cape]

You should be, Korea isn't known for being reasonable

😂

[ocean robin]

[nocturne spruce]

It's literally repeating the same task 10 times flops

[sudden panther]

You're supposed to write your own.

[ocean robin]

And I am sure it'll be with the verb and noun "flops"

[placid heath]

(might sound really bad in english, idk) The steak of the cow of the rancher of the ranch of the town of the district of the state of the nation of the continent of the world of the solar system tasted good.

[ocean robin]

WTF

[sudden panther]

Wonderful.

[placid heath]

10x nested genitive

[sudden panther]

Prove your mastery Flips.

[ocean robin]

GOD WHAT

[hot cloak]

🙃🔫

[sudden panther]

This will teach her to never say she mastered something again.

[hot cloak]

i tap out

[ocean robin]

FIRST WHERE THE HECK I PUT V2

WHAT

[sudden panther]

You tell us.

[ocean robin]

oh my god please

[sudden panther]

You said you mastered it. So you get a hard challenge.

[ocean robin]

[nocturne spruce]

The solar system's world's continent's nation's state's district's town's ranch's rancher's cow's steak tasted good

Does that look better 😛

[ocean robin]

inhales

[whole rapids]

Flaps, here is an easier alternative:

Thanks to the farmer's hungry army of pigs, whose snouts were injured because of the woman's evil legion of cats, the leftovers of the man's dinner were not eaten by the group of black crows.

[ocean robin]

what

[shy bobcat]

I have another uber-genitive sentence lel

[hot cloak]

this went from hard -> harder -> hardest

rofl...

[ocean robin]

^

[hot cloak]

korea's original is the easiest

[viscid cape]

I blame Mitch.

[ocean robin]

LOL

[viscid cape]

[nocturne spruce]

Ok flappy, do you know what to do if you had 3 nouns?

[ocean robin]

I HAVE NO IDEA

[nocturne spruce]

Give us an assumption

[ocean robin]

🤔

[hot cloak]

V[2]

[ocean robin]

YEAH V2

[hot cloak]

so, something must be in [1]

[ocean robin]

DON'T FORGET ABOUT THAT

[hot cloak]

what is that?

[ocean robin]

ALL THAT GROUP OF GENITIVE

[hot cloak]

^

[ocean robin]

And I should stop screaming

But seriously WHAT THE FUCK

[stark drift]

Is it true that there will be a reading session ? 👀

[ocean robin]

Yep!

[stark drift]

Wann ?

[placid heath]

*Wann

👍🏻

[whole rapids]

Flaps, look how easy it is:

Dank

done

[shy bobcat]

It's really easy especially since Korea was kind enough to use the "of" genitive which puts em in the right order

[nocturne spruce]

Again flappy

If there were only 3 nouns

what would you do?

We know that if there are 2 nouns, then one goes into Genetive

[viscid cape]

@stark drift Check #lessons , I think it'll start in 30 mins

[ocean robin]

Das Steaks der Kuh des Farmers der Farm der Stadt des Statteils der Beschaffenheit des Volkes des Kontinents der Welt der Solaranlage schmeckte gut.

dies

[shy bobcat]

Beschaffenheit

🤔

[whole rapids]

@ocean robin As it was so easy, I did it for you, but I will give you a harder one if you want.

Thanks to the farmer's hungry army of pigs, whose snouts were injured because of the woman's evil legion of cats, the leftovers of the man's dinner were not eaten by the group of black crows.

Dank der Arme der hungrigen Schweine des Bauerns, deren Schnauzen durch die böse Legion der Katzen der Frau verletzt worden waren, wurden die Essensreste des Abendessens des Mannes nicht von der Gruppe der schwarzen Krähen gefressen.

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin don't flop away now

👀

[sudden panther]

Solaranlage Lol lol lol lol lol

[shy bobcat]

Ikr

[sudden panther]

It literally gives you the context next to the word. And you didn't bother reading it.

[shy bobcat]

Did flap do the "last word is the good word" again

😛

[sudden panther]

No she did the second word is the good word. But she didn't bother reading the part that said
Solar system [for solar heating etc.]

[shy bobcat]

[sudden panther]

@pine ginkgo ^ /r/flopsbeingflops

[whole rapids]

I think she actually died

[shy bobcat]

I also like Beschaffenheit for state

[sudden panther]

At least we didn't get Zustand.

[shy bobcat]

True

[viscid cape]

You guys were too hard on her to be honest lol

[shy bobcat]

HOWEVER she didnt butcher any of the genitives themselves so her claim is ok

[whole rapids]

someone should throw in words with weak declension as well in the next sentence to fuck with her help her more

[sudden panther]

You're supposed to be hard on someone who claims to have mastered a concept. 😛

[viscid cape]

But but she made a cute drawing

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin to be nice: das Steak der Kuh des Farmers der Farm des Dorfs des Bezirks des Staates der Nation des Kontinents der Welt des Solarsystems hat mir geschmeckt. 😉

[sudden panther]

Well next time the drawing will say that she solidified her knowledge instead. 😄

[shy bobcat]

😄

Wenn Flops an Übersetzung stirbt

[pine ginkgo]

lol arrem

[shy bobcat]

ikr

"The steaks of the cow of the rancher of the ranch of the city of the city quarter of the condition of the people of the continent of the world of the solar heating system tasted good" to translate back fløps german

[placid heath]

So. Also gabs eine Übersetzung zur Beschaffenheit der Solaranlage?

[shy bobcat]

Jo

[placid heath]

Die Solaranlage ist vorzüglich. Allerdings müssen Kranplätze verdichtet sein, und Flops muss beschäftigt sein. Flops = RIF?

[red pewter]

good morning friends

[shy bobcat]

Flops ist zwar vielleicht dran gestorben

oder nur mega weggefloppt

😦

[placid heath]

rif mein gesang

xD

[shy bobcat]

Echte Poesie 👏

[placid heath]

Hab Völlig losgelöst auf Völlig losgefloppt umgedichtet

:D

[shy bobcat]

Ja 😄

Und? Das handelt sich um Flops also muss es poetisch sein 😄 😛

[red pewter]

I will continue to not exist 💔

[placid heath]

I 'd. Totally not just now, but like 10 minutes ago.

[shy bobcat]

@red pewter moin

[ocean robin]

LOL

[shy bobcat]

Flop!

[red pewter]

I slept for 6 hours last night ❤

[ocean robin]

Bell, take more sleep 🤔

And how was my translation?

seriously it was horrible

[shy bobcat]

you memed up your word choice again

[fair iron]

You shouldn't always put yourself down, Flappy. Your translations are getting better and better. ❤

[ocean robin]

You shouldn't say that Arizona, that's my style

Awww thanks Cacsa. ❤

[shy bobcat]

yeah they're getting better

[fair iron]

Nice typo, Flappy. ^^

[ocean robin]

LOL

[shy bobcat]

We just like to fuck with meme with you

[ocean robin]

just saw that

[shy bobcat]

💙

[ocean robin]

👀

But it's a friendly torture 💙

And yeah, I took a shower, that's why I wasn't here. I should have warned you. 😦

[shy bobcat]

no you died from translating but God Arrem revived you

when you make a typo while in a flops session

[ocean robin]

Doing a typo in a flops session is kinda normal though

Also I go eating.

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin why did you even bother coming back if you weren't gonna fix your translation

[ocean robin]

[frank dove]

Big German milking language learners by changing the language rules so you need recent dictionaries 🤦

[fair iron]

So long as your dictionary isn't older than 2006, you should be fine. ^^

Although the oldest I'd get is from 2007, to be safe.

[frank dove]

i bought one from 1998...........

was four dollars though so

and it's just a little beginner one

so just really basic vocab kek

[ocean robin]

👀

[fair iron]

@ocean robin I hope that Flappy will sleep well tonight.

[ocean robin]

oh yay

Ich hoffe, dass Flappy heute Abend gut schlafen wird.

🤔

[hot cloak]

but probably want Nacht instead of abend :p

[ocean robin]

weeeee thanks for cookie

[hot cloak]

unless you sleep mid day

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fair iron]

Either works fine.

[hot cloak]

oh really?

[sudden panther]

There. A mouth to eat your cookie.

[hot cloak]

haha

[fair iron]

But I agree, Nacht fits a little bit better.

[ocean robin]

LOL

[fair iron]

Now off to bed, Flappy.

Dors bien. ^^

[hot cloak]

ich will ein Cookie haben 😦

[ocean robin]

lel

See you guys.

[fair iron]

[lost dagger]

Heck

I just got a flat tire on my bike and I'm 2 miles away from home and 2 miles from the closest bike shop, which is also closed, and I have no spare inner tubes or pump or anything

[placid heath]

There's a german sentence

Wer sein Rad liebt, schiebt.

If you love your bike, push it.

[toxic urchin]

yea push it off a cliff

[lost dagger]

I like that!

[shy bobcat]

tú sabes, qué hora es?

Es "traducción y torturar a Flop" hora

[cold vessel]

Romanischen Sprachen 🚫

Germanischen Sprachen 👌

[twilit garden]

ROMANI ITE DOMUM

[shy bobcat]

@cold vessel alle Sprachen 😍

[unkempt stag]

Ahem

Why the comma?

Also when we call something 'x time'

we say 'La hora del/de la x' or just 'Hora de x'

Depending on the situation

[shy bobcat]

@unkempt stag because my spanish is no bueno

[unkempt stag]

I can tell :'1

Tu español me hace llorar.

[shy bobcat]

@unkempt stag gracias

[unkempt stag]

No gracias

[shy bobcat]

😦

[prime remnant]

Qué eh ehpañol

[shy bobcat]

necesitamos torturar a koolaid con el español horrible

[unkempt stag]

Heyyy

That was almost correct

...Almost

[prime remnant]

pero nablo ehpañol

[unkempt stag]

Que clase de español es este?

[prime remnant]

no sé

es importante?

[unkempt stag]

Estas hablando enserio o es una broma...?

[shy bobcat]

🤔

[pine ginkgo]

#other-languages

[unkempt stag]

Oh yeah

[shy bobcat]

my spanish is too bad to actually keep up a conversation

[unkempt stag]

Thought we were there

[shy bobcat]

so it doesn't matter

[prime remnant]

Okay that's actually all the spanish I can manage

[unkempt stag]

At least you're into ashens

Good lad

[pine ginkgo]

your german fits right in there, teeeislein, don't worry

[unkempt stag]

But why the random spelling?

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo

[prime remnant]

I guess I just wanna approximate how people speak

like random people

[unkempt stag]

Ehm

No we don't speak like that...

unless you're like cuban or something :x

[prime remnant]

I thot people eat all the s's

[unkempt stag]

Only cubans and certain people

It sounds dumb

[prime remnant]

cause in Harlem Shake it's like colloterrorihtah

[unkempt stag]

It really depends

here people speak really clearly

[prime remnant]

🤔

anyway I'll need a lot more Duolingo before I can actually say anything apart from Hola and Adiós

and no hablo español

and el pato bebe leche

[dire sentinel]

someone feed me translation material

[ocean robin]

hehehe

[dire sentinel]

Oi, flippo

You also speak Spanish right

[lost dagger]

filipo

[dire sentinel]

or anyone I guess

what site is best for learning it 🤔

[lost dagger]

I'm curious too

[ocean robin]

What, I am A1 in Spainish, I can say only hello and things like that 👀

[dire sentinel]

I fuckin' hate the Duolingo spanish course

[lost dagger]

I kinda wish I chose spanish instead of german since it's so much more useful here

[dire sentinel]

Oh right, you're french not spoonish

[ocean robin]

[pine ginkgo]

@shy bobcat this guy pretends to speak spanish

[lost dagger]

IDK if the duo course is good or not but I found it mindnumbingly boring

[ocean robin]

"pretends"

[dire sentinel]

The Duo Course is like, just a word-dump, and it's latin spanish

not euro spanish

[ocean robin]

GG Duolingo.

[lost dagger]

I don't mind it being latin spanish but yeah, word dump :c

[dire sentinel]

I feel like I'm not picking up what Memrise is putting down

[lost dagger]

for Spanish?

[dire sentinel]

at least Duo has the decency to use it in a fucking sentence

yeah

[hot cloak]

Memrise is better than Duo for German, imo

[lost dagger]

I feel like memrise is good for vocab after you already understand grammar

[dire sentinel]

Memrise doesn't help with grammar in german at all i feel like

[lost dagger]

use created courses I mean

[hot cloak]

Yeah no

[ocean robin]

Creepy, I am going to give you translation material

[hot cloak]

but Duolingo is fucking annoying

[dire sentinel]

Do it

[lost dagger]

Agreed

[hot cloak]

they e-mail you constantly

[pine ginkgo]

flappsy

[dire sentinel]

You can turn those off

[pine ginkgo]

only do it

if you can translate it yourself

correctly

[hot cloak]

yeah but crosses arms

[ocean robin]

[red pewter]

O_O

[dire sentinel]

ich liebe alle Spinnen

[ocean robin]

I know righto

[fair iron]

Creepy: Even though many people don't like them, I think that spiders are great.

Flappy: Toto, I've the feeling that we're not in Kansas anymore.

Henbruas: My Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates.

Bell: You never know what you're gonna get.

[pine ginkgo]

bell didn't want to?

:O

[ocean robin]

^

lel

[fair iron]

I pressed enter by mistake.

[shy bobcat]

I would join but I'm in math class 😦

[pine ginkgo]

extra points if people can tell the source of the translation

[dire sentinel]

Should I use Trotzdem or Obwohl here

[ocean robin]

And also when seeing "Toto" I was like "God is this a french reference"

[red pewter]

What's the theme of this lesson :? last time we did adjectives :?

[fair iron]

Obwohl.

[ocean robin]

[fair iron]

The theme seems to be (film) quotes. ^^

[ocean robin]

Movie? 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

yep

[fair iron]

Film.

Moving picture.

Cinema.

[ocean robin]

Yeah of course that someone talks about spiders in a fils

[fair iron]

Like a picture, just animated, and with sound.

Not every translation is a quote.

Only the last three are.

[pine ginkgo]

yep

[fair iron]

Bonus points if you can name the film. ^^

[thick charm]

Toto, I've the feeling that we're not in Kansas anymore.

We're in Africa now. Time to bless the rain.

[fair iron]

👌

[red pewter]

Man weiß noch nie was man werde bekommen. (forrest gump)

[pine ginkgo]

🤔

[fair iron]

What's the conjugation for One knows?

[red pewter]

....you saw nothing 😄

[fair iron]

Better. 😄

[ocean robin]

Toto, ich habe das Gefühl, das wir noch mehr ins Kansas sind.

[fair iron]

Why the noch?

That goes for Bell and Flappy.

[ocean robin]

lel

[red pewter]

i thought noch nie was never 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

very interesting

[fair iron]

[...] that we are even more in Kansas, Flappy?

[ocean robin]

just went on dict.cc

[pine ginkgo]

noch nie is never ever

[ocean robin]

goddamn 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

kinda like that

[fair iron]

^

Not ever.

[pine ginkgo]

oh

[thick charm]

Implying not yet

[pine ginkgo]

that seems sometimes more adequate :P

[red pewter]

....well you never ever know 😂 I'll take it out. I thought niemands was never ever :?

[pine ginkgo]

flaps

[thick charm]

So which one of those is it

[pine ginkgo]

read the sentence

[fair iron]

^

[ocean robin]

🤔

[red pewter]

Man weiß nie was man werde bekommen.

[pine ginkgo]

read casca's sentence

[ocean robin]

Thought about nicht mehr ar first

[pine ginkgo]

and then please stop flopsing

[fair iron]

Anymore is not the same as not anymore.

[ocean robin]

mmmh

[fair iron]

So what should it be, Flappy? ^^

[pine ginkgo]

why werde bell?

[fair iron]

^

[dire sentinel]

Obwohl viele Leute mag ihnen nicht, Ich denke, dass Spinnen sind toll.

[ocean robin]

Is the answer right in the front of my eyes?

[fair iron]

Why ihnen?

Yes, Flappy.

[ocean robin]

agh agh

[red pewter]

I interpreted "what you're gonna get" as "what one will get"

[pine ginkgo]

sure

but why

werde

[fair iron]

Why ihn, Creepy?

[red pewter]

because I forgot to conjugate T_T

Man weiß nie was man wird bekommen.

[pine ginkgo]

now bell

[fair iron]

Almost.

[pine ginkgo]

what happens to the verb

[fair iron]

Syntax.

[pine ginkgo]

in subordinating clauses

[fair iron]

^

^

[cold vessel]

Meine Mama hat immer gesagt, dass das Leben wie eine Schokoladenschachtel war.

I hope you weren't expecting Konjunktiv 1 😬

[red pewter]

Man weiß nie was man bekommen wird.

[ocean robin]

Toto, ich habe das Gefühl, das wir nicht mehr ins Kansas sind. Tell me it was only flopsing, I would be happy

[pine ginkgo]

uhm

[dire sentinel]

Viele Leute mag sie nicht ?

[fair iron]

I was not, Henbruas.

[pine ginkgo]

where is your konjunktiv

[fair iron]

So well done. ^^

[pine ginkgo]

exactly?

[shy bobcat]

Technically konj I works though I think, but coming from Forrest Gump it would sound weird I think

[fair iron]

Creepy, zu mögen, third person plural.

[cold vessel]

@pine ginkgo The second clause is reported speech, isn't it?

[pine ginkgo]

but why war

[fair iron]

Because that's the quote, Solet. 🤔

[ocean robin]

[dire sentinel]

oh, I thought mag was one of those you could stick anywhere.
Obwohl viele Leute mögen sie nicht, ich denke, dass Spinnen sind toll

[fair iron]

Where should mögen go?

[shy bobcat]

Is the quote not "life is like a box of chocolates"

[pine ginkgo]

that's direct speech then

if it's konjunktive 1

it should be sei

[fair iron]

The quote is actually life WAS like a box of chocolates.

[shy bobcat]

wow

[cold vessel]

@pine ginkgo I said I wasn't doing Konjunktiv

[fair iron]

It's one of the most popular misquotes. ^^

[shy bobcat]

This is like "Luke I am your father" lol

[fair iron]

Yep. ^^

Or Mirror, mirror, [...].

[pine ginkgo]

oh

i misread your intention henbri

lol

[shy bobcat]

Wut @fair iron

[pine ginkgo]

i thought you were snarky

[fair iron]

Hmm, Arizona?

It's Magic mirror on the wall.

[red pewter]

Man weiß nie was man bekommen wird. am I done :?

[fair iron]

Yep. ^^
