[ocean robin]

I am sorry to bring up the subject again but since it got flooded, was my sentence righto?

[shy bobcat]

Mirror mirror on the wall who's the fairest of them all?

Really?

[fair iron]

Nope.

Magic mirror.

[shy bobcat]

😮

[pine ginkgo]

bell

you have a subordinating clause

what seperates clauses

[ocean robin]

^

[red pewter]

T_T comma

Man weiß nie, was man bekommen wird.

[fair iron]

@shy bobcat https://youtu.be/mqmIMvWnIV8?t=23

[dire sentinel]

Should it go... on the... end? 😰

[sudden panther]

Nah Flops, you're still a meme.

[ocean robin]

[fair iron]

Yes, Creepy.

[shy bobcat]

@fair iron Verstand = geblasen

[fair iron]

^^

[ocean robin]

Where the heck is it wrong

[fair iron]

Wrong blown. 😛

[shy bobcat]

I know

[fair iron]

Unless that was intentional.

I hope.

[red pewter]

[fair iron]

Good. ^^

[pine ginkgo]

flaps

[shy bobcat]

That was r/de ish

[pine ginkgo]

what is Kansas

[fair iron]

You were and always will be loved, Bell.

[shy bobcat]

On purpose

[ocean robin]

Did I mix up dass and das again Arrem? 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

simple answer

[ocean robin]

It's a place?

[pine ginkgo]

yes

[ocean robin]

wait

location

🤔

[fair iron]

Now that Arrem is here, I think it's easiest if we all focus on one person's translation each.

[pine ginkgo]

good

[dire sentinel]

Obwohl viele Leute sie nicht mögen , ich denke, dass Spinnen sind toll ? doesn't seem right

[pine ginkgo]

close

[fair iron]

What happens to the verb and pronoun after a comma?

This goes for your second and third clause.

[ocean robin]

Well Arrem go wit me.

[pine ginkgo]

now

flaps

[dire sentinel]

they flop

[pine ginkgo]

does your newfound information help

[fair iron]

^^

[ocean robin]

well if it's a place = dative

[dire sentinel]

Obwohl viele Leute sie nicht mögen , denke ich, dass Spinnen toll sind

[ocean robin]

BUT NO IT DOESN'T

[fair iron]

Yep! ✅

[dire sentinel]

phew

[fair iron]

How far has Flappy gotten?

[pine ginkgo]

1 mistake left

[ocean robin]

What preposition can I put instead of in?

WOO

[pine ginkgo]

you can use in

[fair iron]

^

[ocean robin]

Only 2 mistakes yey

[fair iron]

You should use in.

[ocean robin]

Then, in dem?

[shy bobcat]

The issue is how you used in

[fair iron]

No, Flappy.

[ocean robin]

Ah ah ah.

[pine ginkgo]

what else is special about Kansas flaps

it's not only a location

if you don't get it

what is Flaps

[ocean robin]

I dunno 🤔

A name?

[pine ginkgo]

yes

[shy bobcat]

Yes

[pine ginkgo]

so Kansas is not only a location, but also a?

[fair iron]

Band.

[ocean robin]

Naaaaaame.

LOL

[shy bobcat]

Boring state

[pine ginkgo]

:D

yes flaps

[placid heath]

Kansaw

[pine ginkgo]

and if you remember the little tidbit we had earlier with the rabbit

[viscid cape]

Ello

[pine ginkgo]

what do Names not have in german

[thick charm]

Carry on my wayward Flops

[viscid cape]

Did I miss all of the torture? :L

[ocean robin]

hoyl I remember von Kaninchen =_=

[dire sentinel]

Hopefully there will be more torture rounds

[pine ginkgo]

alright

[red pewter]

We are still being tortured ❤

[ocean robin]

No Krypti, had only 2 mistakes here :v

[pine ginkgo]

if i call you flaps

[viscid cape]

👌

[shy bobcat]

@viscid cape youve come right in the middle of one

[pine ginkgo]

should i sayHey, Flaps or Hey, die Flaps?

[ocean robin]

Hey, die Flaps

[pine ginkgo]

umh.

[ocean robin]

No, hey, Flaps.

[pine ginkgo]

okay

so what is left out for names?

[viscid cape]

@shy bobcat Are there chupacabras in Arizone 🤔

[thick charm]

the logic

[ocean robin]

I need to go for 20 mins.

[pine ginkgo]

FLAPS

[ocean robin]

But articles.

[pine ginkgo]

FINISH THIS

okay

[ocean robin]

YEAH I MUST GO

[pine ginkgo]

now fix it

THEN GO

[ocean robin]

NO I CAN'T

[thick charm]

Her people need her

[pine ginkgo]

YOU COULD HAVE FIXED IT

IN THE TIME YOU SAY NO

[shy bobcat]

@viscid cape well AZ used to be part of Mexico and the legend is known here

[fair iron]

Creepy: Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.

Bell: Houston, we have a problem.

Henbruas: Say "hello" to my little friend!

[thick charm]

[fair iron]

^^

[ocean robin]

Toto, ich habe das Gefühl, das wir nicht mehr in Kansas sind.

THERE

[shy bobcat]

👀

[ocean robin]

SEE YOU GUYS

[fair iron]

❎

[thick charm]

no

no

noonooooo

[ocean robin]

LOL PLEASE

[fair iron]

Oh.

[thick charm]

Flapps

[pine ginkgo]

NO CASCA

[fair iron]

Flappy, no.

[ocean robin]

[viscid cape]

😂

[red pewter]

Houston, wir haben ein Problem.

[viscid cape]

This torture is awesome :v

[shy bobcat]

my 👀 were right

[thick charm]

🇩 🇦 🇸 ❓

[fair iron]

Correct, Bell. ^^

[shy bobcat]

I didn't mean for them to come after flaps but she flopped up so

[red pewter]

yay ❤

[shy bobcat]

👀

[ocean robin]

in die Kansas please :v

[thick charm]

even worse

[shy bobcat]

That's not the problem

[ocean robin]

LEL

[shy bobcat]

Look at Chuck's message

That's made of emojis

[fair iron]

Bell: May the Force be with you.

[ocean robin]

I ma going to flop out now

[pine ginkgo]

determines names don't have articles
fixes it to no articles
finds out about a mistake
ADDS THE ARTICLE BACK

[thick charm]

May the Schwartz be with you

[cold vessel]

How literal do you want it, casca?

[pine ginkgo]

god damn flaps

:(

[fair iron]

I'll give you free rein as far as that is concerned, Henbruas.

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo more importantly ADDS THE WRONG ARTICLE BACK

[pine ginkgo]

oh yes

thank you teeleineis

[sudden panther]

Oh. Arrem is only here for a bit. Because he's busy being a productive boy.

[red pewter]

Dürfen die Kraft mit Sie sein. (i'm so sorry)

[pine ginkgo]

banned

[sudden panther]

Totally banned.

[red pewter]

T_T

[thick charm]

Okay we're not gonna count the translation of force as a mistake because you couldn't know

[fair iron]

^

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin there is only one letter off that you need to fix

[cold vessel]

Sag meinem kleinen Freund "hallo"!

I have no clue if the dative works here 👀

[fair iron]

Correct.

[thick charm]

But ignoring that, there are two more mistakes

[fair iron]

Henbruas: A martini. Shaken, not stirred.

[thick charm]

The translation of 'may' as 'dürfen' is a little tricky. Without going into too much detail, dürfen is the 'may' in 'may I?' and not the one used in the quote.

You get the difference?

[shy bobcat]

I want to make sure that I have my German star wars quotes down but I don't want to spoil bell

[red pewter]

yes. I don't know which to use

[fair iron]

^^

[thick charm]

It's the other one

[shy bobcat]

The one that actually looks like may

[sudden panther]

The one that sounds a bit lirbfjrjejgwjf

[fair iron]

If you want to make sure your quotes are correct, feel free to DM me.

[sudden panther]

Yes that.

[dire sentinel]

Oh boy

[pine ginkgo]

if you want to make sure your quotes are correct

make a voice recording

[shy bobcat]

[thick charm]

Right, Ari. Go ahead and translate Why, you stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder! then

[dire sentinel]

can I request a different quote

[fair iron]

You can.

[shy bobcat]

I'm not able to really do antthing atm because I'm in class still

[red pewter]

okay uh then "may" means "i hope that"

but is there a word for that

[thick charm]

bad excuse

[red pewter]

können_

_

[thick charm]

The other one

Not können, not dürfen

The one that's at the top on dict.cc

[red pewter]

mögen

[shy bobcat]

It looks like "may" and it has another meaning you're probably more familia with

[thick charm]

yup

[pine ginkgo]

💯

[shy bobcat]

Yeah

[dire sentinel]

need more baby-level sentences

[thick charm]

So what's the imperative of that?

[pine ginkgo]

I, Robot, creepy

:D

[dire sentinel]

Ich, Roboter

[fair iron]

Creepy: It was Beauty killed the Beast.

[dire sentinel]

🎉

[thick charm]

King Kong

[shy bobcat]

Auge Mensch-aus-Metall

[fair iron]

Chuck earns the bonus point. 😅

[thick charm]

It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage.

[red pewter]

does mögen have one?

[thick charm]

Yup

[shy bobcat]

Yes

[thick charm]

Every verb has one

[dire sentinel]

Es war Beauty, dass das Biest getötet ?

[red pewter]

Möge die Kraft mit Sie sind.

[shy bobcat]

Beauty
Banned

[dire sentinel]

I mean, it's her name

well

I guess her name is bell

e

[fair iron]

True, but they'd be translated here.

[shy bobcat]

No it's not... her names Belle

[fair iron]

^^

[thick charm]

We're getting closer, Bell.

What's the dativ of du?

[pine ginkgo]

or Sie

[red pewter]

Ihnen

[thick charm]

We know that mit has to be followed by a Dativ because we studied our prepositions

[pine ginkgo]

also answer chuck's

:D

[shy bobcat]

But the actual movie uses du so use du

[red pewter]

Möge die Kraft mit Ihnen sind. (I literally don't understand pronouns)

[thick charm]

Just one thing to fix

[dire sentinel]

Es war Schöne, dass das Biest getötet

[shy bobcat]

What's the infinitive of bin sind etc

[red pewter]

sein

[pine ginkgo]

why dass

[shy bobcat]

Good

[red pewter]

was that what i was supposed to keep?

I had that

[thick charm]

Yeah

[shy bobcat]

Jepp

[cold vessel]

Einen Martini. Geschüttelt, nicht verrührt.

I wouldn't be awfully surprised if I picked the wrong words for this one. I'm also not sure if "Martini" should be in the nominative or akkusative, I think maybe I've seen the akkusative used when you're asking for something in this way.

[red pewter]

Möge die Kraft mit Ihnen sein.

[fair iron]

Wrong prefix. ^^

[thick charm]

Well done

Bell

[fair iron]

Correct, Bell!

[pine ginkgo]

and now!!

we turn it into the real movie!

[red pewter]

Can I have a checkmark :?

[shy bobcat]

Now change it to du and you'll have the actual quote

[thick charm]

Do note though, that the movie uses du instead of sie

[pine ginkgo]

sure

here

[red pewter]

D:

[thick charm]

Because those guys are tight like that

[red pewter]

lol

[thick charm]

Change it to du and you'll get the checkmark

[fair iron]

Not dass, Creepy.

You're also missing a verb.

Notice that you're referring to Beauty.

[shy bobcat]

Mai die Kraft beem bei euch 👍 ✅

[cold vessel]

@lament pecan Einen Martini. Geschüttelt, nicht gerührt. then? Or is it aufgerührt 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

gerührt is good

[fair iron]

^

[red pewter]

Möge die Kraft mit dir sein.

[pine ginkgo]

nooow

[thick charm]

The movie also uses Macht instead of Kraft

But as I said

[pine ginkgo]

damn you chuckster

[thick charm]

No way for you to know

[fair iron]

^

[red pewter]

❤

[thick charm]

That would just be unfair

[shy bobcat]

But macht is a cooler word imi

[red pewter]

I have to make a presentation. I'll be back in about 20 if this is still going on!

[thick charm]

Alright

Let me give Bell the next one then

[red pewter]

Thank you so much!

[fair iron]

Kraft is a more literal translation, in her defence.

[pine ginkgo]

imi?

[dire sentinel]

Es war Schöne, wer hat das Biest getötet ?

[thick charm]

Where we're going, we don't need roads.

[shy bobcat]

Imo

[fair iron]

Not wer, Creepy. ^^

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo I did a flops and typoed

[fair iron]

Also, where should hat go?

[thick charm]

Bonus points if you do it in -10 minutes

wink wink nudge nudge

[dire sentinel]

Not wer? and, at the eeeeend i gueees

[pine ginkgo]

This is bat country

[fair iron]

Yep. ^^

Use die.

[dire sentinel]

Ah, that

Es war Schöne, die das Biest hat getötet

[thick charm]

close

[pine ginkgo]

nice end

[fair iron]

At the end, Creepy.

[pine ginkgo]

creepy

[fair iron]

😄

[pine ginkgo]

nice end

we should talk about where the end is for you

[dire sentinel]

Getoetet hat

[fair iron]

Yep. ^^

[dire sentinel]

This is the end for me 🔫

[thick charm]

this is the end

my only friend

[cold vessel]

Anyone got another one for me?

[fair iron]

Want to continue, Creepy?

[dire sentinel]

yes pls

[thick charm]

Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer

There hen

[fair iron]

Hold your breath and count to ten [...]

Oh, we weren't thinking of the same song.

Creepy: If you build it, he will come.

[dire sentinel]

Yo that was the best Bond intro song

in ages

[thick charm]

Again, bonus points if you lay a hog's head on my bed

[red pewter]

Wo wir gehen, brauchen wir keine Straßen.

[thick charm]

Very close!

Right so if we're just talking word meanings one by one, this would be almost perfect sans a missed capitalisation.

But (just) gehen is not the right word to use here in this context

[red pewter]

it's talking about going as in dying

[dire sentinel]

Wenn Sie es bauen, er kommen wird.

[thick charm]

This would roughly translate as 'where we're walking' instead of 'where we're going'

[pine ginkgo]

creepy

what did we say about verb positions after a comma

[fair iron]

It's actually the singular you here.

[thick charm]

And it's less dying and more a place where they're going to. Doc Brown doesn't die.

[dire sentinel]

But there are two man

[pine ginkgo]

the only verb

you must need care for

is the conjugated verb

[cold vessel]

Halt deine Freunde nahe, sondern deine Feinde näher.

[pine ginkgo]

why did you pick sondern henbri?

[thick charm]

So we're looking for a verb that translates as 'going somewhere' instead of just going

[shy bobcat]

yo I'm able to translate atm

[cold vessel]

Come to think of it I'm not sure 🤔

[fair iron]

One man is speaking directly to the other, Creepy.

[shy bobcat]

chuck I think you had asentence

[thick charm]

oh right

[red pewter]

Wo wir hingehen, wir keine Straßen brauchen.

[thick charm]

lemme scroll up

[dire sentinel]

Are they friends, or

[pine ginkgo]

you can keep it simple here, henbri :P

[thick charm]

You had the word order right, Bell.

[fair iron]

I think so? Haven't seen the film myself.

[thick charm]

Why did you switch it around?

[fair iron]

Their speech is informal, at least.

[shy bobcat]

asentence
mmm, classy typoes, I'm like flöpp

[red pewter]

because i thought solet told me to

[pine ginkgo]

you are not creepy, bell

😦

[thick charm]

Why, you stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder! Ari

[red pewter]

Wo wir hingehen, brauchen wir keine Straßen.

[ocean robin]

I AM BACK

[red pewter]

yay ❤

[shy bobcat]

@thick charm 👍 here goes

[ocean robin]

SO FOR LAST MISTAKE

[thick charm]

good luck

[shy bobcat]

dictionary here I come 😅

[cold vessel]

Ok, so "sondern" is like "but rather" and makes no sense here, so not sure why I wrote that.

Halt deine Freunde nahe, aber deine Feinde näher.

[pine ginkgo]

YES FLAPS

[ocean robin]

Toto, ich habe das Gefühl, dass wir nicht mehr in Kansas sind.

[pine ginkgo]

you got any idea, flaps?

wow

[ocean robin]

🤔

[pine ginkgo]

you fixed it

while you were away

[ocean robin]

yes

[pine ginkgo]

seems good, henbri

[shy bobcat]

@thick charm what the hell is a nerf herder

🤔

[thick charm]

No idea

but that's what she says in the movie

[dire sentinel]

Wenn du es baust, wird er kommen

[pine ginkgo]

i think it means

nerf water pistols

y'know

[ocean robin]

lol

[shy bobcat]

perfect, that means "just throw in something insulting" @thick charm

[fair iron]

Nerfs are cattle-like animals, Arizona.

[thick charm]

Right, so who's up for another one? Calling it your job don't make it right, boss.

[pine ginkgo]

oh.

makes more sense then

[ocean robin]

Whose is it?

[fair iron]

Similar to someone herding cattle.

Just space cattle.

[thick charm]

It's up for grab

[ocean robin]

Bell's or mine?

[red pewter]

I will translate more in like 15 minutes after i present

[ocean robin]

Ah

[cold vessel]

You want it to sound broken in German as well, Chuck? 😛

[red pewter]

flaps can have it

[pine ginkgo]

woa, chuck

that one is evil

[thick charm]

I know, right?

I'd rather have it in grammatically correct German, hen

[pine ginkgo]

casca, can you check creepy's?

[ocean robin]

just the "calling it" is killng me

[pine ginkgo]

i don't know her original sentence

[red pewter]

there's a gerund in there O_O

[pine ginkgo]

:P

[red pewter]

wtf

[thick charm]

Don't blame me, blame Luke.

[ocean robin]

[fair iron]

Oh, sorry. I was away for a minute, and must have missed it.

[thick charm]

Cool Hand Luke

[fair iron]

Creepy: ✅

[dire sentinel]

aww yiss

[ocean robin]

This sentence is ugh what

I think I'll mess up word order but either way let's begin

[pine ginkgo]

(i don't think she knows how to do it, chuck)

[fair iron]

Who wants a simple one?

[thick charm]

I do

[dire sentinel]

me too

[ocean robin]

Yiiiis

[pine ginkgo]

chuck

[thick charm]

But I wanna

[pine ginkgo]

translate Up

[ocean robin]

Because Chuck's is insane 🤔

[thick charm]

Hoch

[dire sentinel]

hinauf

[fair iron]

Creepy: I see dead people.

Chuck: Name the film. ^

[pine ginkgo]

😦

DER SECHSTE SOHN

[dire sentinel]

Ich sehe tot leute

[cold vessel]

Spoilers

[ocean robin]

I see dead people lel

[fair iron]

Solet, what?

[thick charm]

That's shawshank redemption

[fair iron]

😄

Chuck.

[pine ginkgo]

pshht, casca

:P

[fair iron]

Wot.

[thick charm]

The sixth shawshank redemption

[ocean robin]

my dear creepy please

[fair iron]

Oh boy.

[thick charm]

The one with Vin Diesel and the small boy

[ocean robin]

there's one thing which bothers me in dat sentence

[dire sentinel]

Tote

leute

sorry

[ocean robin]

no

[pine ginkgo]

anyone wanna translate Die Hard? :D

[ocean robin]

Not even that

[fair iron]

Do you by chance mean The Pacifier, Chuck? 🤔

[ocean robin]

You did the mistake twice my dear Creeps

[dire sentinel]

go easy on my asshole

[thick charm]

No but Bruce Willis and Vin Diesel are both bald

[fair iron]

True.

Correct, Creepy. ^^

[ocean robin]

Didn't think about tote

But I WANT CAPTILIZING ON LEUTE

THANKS A LOT

[dire sentinel]

was I right?

Oh

Flippo and her caps

[thick charm]

And I mean if you're a child psychologist in Philadelphia, does it really matter whether you're Vin Diesel or Bruce Willis?

[shy bobcat]

@thick charm Ach, du hochnäsiger, schwachsinniger, ungepflegt aussehender Nerf-Hirt! (apparently a nerf is just some weird star wars animal thanks to the power of reconning, so I just left it untranslated because it's not a real word anyway)

[dire sentinel]

Flippo And Her Capitals

[thick charm]

And does it matter if you have five, seven or even six senses?

[pine ginkgo]

why Hirt

[fair iron]

Damn, Arizona.

Impressive as always.

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo bc that's what dict cc calls a herder (first result)

[fair iron]

But I'd also like to pose Solet's question.

[ocean robin]

Anyway wot is dat sentence Chok >_>

[fair iron]

That's a shepherd, Arizona.

[thick charm]

Yup, well done, Arizona. Hirt is missing one letter though.

[fair iron]

^

[dire sentinel]

ari so talent

[pine ginkgo]

wtf

[fair iron]

^^

[shy bobcat]

@fair iron I just trusted the dictionary

[pine ginkgo]

TIL, Hirtexists

[thick charm]

huh

I didn't know that either

fuck dict

[pine ginkgo]

at least according to dict.cc

[ocean robin]

I can't translate "calling" I don't know it I should use the infinitive or not

[pine ginkgo]

GO TO DUDEN

[shy bobcat]

ok

[fair iron]

Duden says it exists.

Which means, Arizona, that you got it correct. ✅

[pine ginkgo]

TIL.

[thick charm]

I've only ever seen it in combination with Vieh-

[pine ginkgo]

wtf?

[shy bobcat]

wait @fair iron so it doesn't mean shepherd specifically?

[thick charm]

Viehhirt I knew existed

But just Hirt is new to me

[fair iron]

It does not.

[pine ginkgo]

duden sagt Hirt ist häufiger als Hirte

😦

[fair iron]

Wait, really?

TIL.

[pine ginkgo]

Hirt hat zwei Balken

und Hirte einen

???

[thick charm]

Also Flappy, that's a tricky one. Don't feel bad if you can't do it, most natives couldn't either.

[shy bobcat]

Hirt und Hirte sind wahrscheinlich ursprünglich dasselbe Wort.

[thick charm]

Because you need to think outside the box and use all of the tricks German gives you

[cold vessel]

Es macht es nicht recht, es deinen Job zu nennen, Chef.

prepares for a beating

[pine ginkgo]

also there are multiple ways to translate it

[thick charm]

That works

Hen

[fair iron]

^

[thick charm]

Impressive

[pine ginkgo]

yeah

[cold vessel]

wat 😮

[ocean robin]

Nennen es deine Arbeit, macht es nicht gerade, Chef. dat poor attempt :/

[pine ginkgo]

sounds odd

but owrks

[thick charm]

Close, Flappy

[fair iron]

^

[ocean robin]

what

seriously

[fair iron]

Flappy, not every attempt you make is poor. 😛

[thick charm]

But you need a few fixes

[shy bobcat]

I don't know what the original was exactly, but I think I'd say "Dass Sie es Ihren Job nennen, macht es nicht richtig, Chef."

Ihren

[pine ginkgo]

Calling it your job don't make it right, boss.

[thick charm]

But that's close enough, I'd say

[ocean robin]

Thought I fucked up tbh

[pine ginkgo]

yeah flaps

this is way above your level

don't worry

[shy bobcat]

I switched the du to Sie halfway thru and forgot to switch deinen

[ocean robin]

ah

[pine ginkgo]

not sure where you got the gerade tho

[shy bobcat]

probably because "calling"

usually means progressive

= gerade

[pine ginkgo]

yeah

[thick charm]

or 'right'

[ocean robin]

IDK, I first chose "gut" then "richtig" and then "gearde"

[pine ginkgo]

but where is right

then

hat.

what

[shy bobcat]

oh

I didn't realise which word gerade was

lel

[thick charm]

gerade = straight

[pine ginkgo]

where does gut come from

[ocean robin]

also niche typo

[thick charm]

niche typo

[rugged frost]

According to DWDS "Hirte" has gained popularity during the 20th century: https://www.dwds.de/r/plot?q1=Hirt&q2=Hirte

[ocean robin]

lel please phone

[fair iron]

Arizona, would you like to try your hand at translating a quote?

[pine ginkgo]

just pick the ones with the most votes, flappsy

:P

[fair iron]

Not from a movie, this time.

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin Gerade doesn't usually mean right.... like "gerade aus" can be translated "right ahead" but you can say "straight ahead" which is more "correct" to the meaning of gerade

@fair iron sure maybe

why not

[ocean robin]

But where are my mistakrs though? Sounds like this is > A2

[pine ginkgo]

this is about B1/B2

more on the B2 side imo

[fair iron]

Arizona: It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult. [Lucius Annaeus Seneca]

[ocean robin]

And how many mistakes did I have on that?

[shy bobcat]

@fair iron ooh classics ❤

[fair iron]

Yep. ^^

[dire sentinel]

me too agaaaain

[pine ginkgo]

eh

hard to say, flaps

because it's about the construction

not about words

[thick charm]

two if we're being lenient

[ocean robin]

oh

wHat

[pine ginkgo]

you have to know how to translate it

otherwise it will never be correct

[thick charm]

If we wanted to fix your sentence, we'd need to add a word and change another one.

[pine ginkgo]

and it doesn't matter how close you come

[ocean robin]

Especially that "calling"

It ugh agh

[pine ginkgo]

how would you

[thick charm]

Because if you translate it like you did, you need a zu

[pine ginkgo]

translate it into french?

cause i think french kinda has the same problem

[thick charm]

Do you know why?

[ocean robin]

mmmh wait that I do translation 🤔

Yeah French has

[fair iron]

Creepy: I feel the need, the need for speed!

[ocean robin]

[shy bobcat]

@fair iron "Es ist nicht, dass wir es nicht wagen, weil Dinge schwierig sind, es ist, dass sie schwierig sind, weil wir es nicht wagen." I don't think I've ever said "dare" like that in German. So don't hurt me

😮

[pine ginkgo]

wagen needs an object

i would say

[fair iron]

Yep.

[shy bobcat]

didn't mean to hit enter

lel

[fair iron]

^^

[pine ginkgo]

lel

[fair iron]

Wagen is an object.

Sorry.

[shy bobcat]

ari flopping up today

@fair iron ew that's like sub Korea joke 🚪

[pine ginkgo]

btw

i would put the weil clause

beofre the dass clause

[ocean robin]

It would be something like: "L'appeler ton boulot/travail ne le fait pas correct, chef." And since that "appeler" is also the infinitive of "to call".

🤔

[placid heath]

sub korea joke

[shy bobcat]

I did that at first @pine ginkgo but it didn't sound good IMO

[placid heath]

🤔

[pine ginkgo]

i think this sounds worse

:D

[shy bobcat]

😄

[fair iron]

Here's the translation you'd find in a German textbook: Nicht weil es schwer ist, wagen wir es nicht, sondern weil wir es nicht wagen, ist es schwer.

[ocean robin]

"nicht weil"

[pine ginkgo]

yeah

[ocean robin]

wow what

[dire sentinel]

gosh

ich fühle den Bedarf, den Bedarf für Geschwindigkeit

[pine ginkgo]

bedarf

:D

[shy bobcat]

@fair iron He wrote in Latin right? Any idea what the actual Latin is?

[ocean robin]

"sondern weil"

[fair iron]

Let me see if I can find it.

[ocean robin]

wow TIL we could use 2 of those

[pine ginkgo]

try another noun, casci

eh

creepy

:P

[thick charm]

So, let's fix that sentence. Nennen es deine Arbeit, macht es nicht gerade, Chef.
Es deine Arbeit zu nennen, macht es nicht besser, Chef/Boss.

You see why it has to be this way?

[shy bobcat]

I'd be interested to see if we or you have the closer translation

😛

[ocean robin]

🤔

Actually nope Chuck

Why?

[thick charm]

You name it

the du is implied

[ocean robin]

Ahhhh

[fair iron]

@shy bobcat Non quia difficilia sunt, non audemus; sed quid non audemus, difficilia sunt.

[ocean robin]

It's the infinitive, so zu?

[pine ginkgo]

another possiblility is

Dass es deine Arbeit gennant wird

[shy bobcat]

I don't think I see things @fair iron so you guys win 🇩🇪

[thick charm]

Literally To call it your job

It works the same in English

[fair iron]

^^

[pine ginkgo]

but don't worry about this flaps

[ocean robin]

Mmh, passive could work as well, huh.

[thick charm]

Theoretically

would be a horrible mess of a sentence though

[pine ginkgo]

it's not really nice in this sentence

but it can

[ocean robin]

But hOly sHit got almost right a B2 sentence

[pine ginkgo]

"almost"

:D

at least you are optimistic

[ocean robin]

yes

[thick charm]

Dass es (von dir) (als) deine Arbeit bezeichnet/genannt wird, macht es nicht besser.

[ocean robin]

Mmmh.

[fair iron]

Almost, Creepy.

Bedarf *nach.

Apart from that, great work! 😃

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo being optimism is the most important part, otherwise you end up like me

being optimism

wow

and I think I can speak german

[ocean robin]

Can I have another sentence now? And not a B2-ish?

[pine ginkgo]

end up like you

[shy bobcat]

[dire sentinel]

awww yeee only one mistake away from being right

[placid heath]

Ok, C3 sentence

[lavish saddle]

creepy!

[ocean robin]

LOL PLEASE

[shy bobcat]

oh no here comes a maymay

[placid heath]

Ok, even better

C4 sentence

Boom

[ocean robin]

[dire sentinel]

Kelso now you can see me almost be right

[pine ginkgo]

Frische Fische fischt Fischers Fritze

[ocean robin]

Boom

[pine ginkgo]

bla bla bla

[ocean robin]

NO SOLET

[nocturne spruce]

Are you guys bullying flappy again?

[ocean robin]

PLEASE

[lavish saddle]

lol (x

[placid heath]

Yes

[nocturne spruce]

Good job👌

[fair iron]

Kelsey! Care to join? ^^

[ocean robin]

[placid heath]

👌🏻

[shy bobcat]

@nocturne spruce the answer is always

yes

we're bullying flappy

[ocean robin]

Don't tell me my sentence now is Solet's

[shy bobcat]

[ocean robin]

please no

[pine ginkgo]

it's anyone's

[nocturne spruce]

No, there are times where we are planning to bully flappy

But she's not there

[placid heath]

Wenn hinter Fliegen Fliegen fliegen, fliegen Fliegen Fliegen hinterher @ocean robin

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo are Fischer and Fritze supposed to be names

[ocean robin]

pleeeeease

[pine ginkgo]

no and yes

[fair iron]

I know that phrase, but ending in nach, Korea.

[pine ginkgo]

but in this case

[fair iron]

Wasn't aware there were other variants.

TIL.

[pine ginkgo]

you can think of them as names

[ocean robin]

I wanted a EN -> GE :<

[pine ginkgo]

only for german tho

[placid heath]

EN -> GE? k

[shy bobcat]

because Fisher or Fischer are common last names and Fritz is like 200 percent German name

[placid heath]

If flies fly behind flies then flies fly behind flies

[pine ginkgo]

it's a job title, teeeis

[nocturne spruce]

Fischer is Fisher

[ocean robin]

good job Korea

[shy bobcat]

yes IK what a fischer is

[nocturne spruce]

but Fritze sound like a name

[shy bobcat]

but not a fritze

[nocturne spruce]

not a title

[ocean robin]

I have the awnser right in front of my eyes

k

[placid heath]

r u sure?

[ocean robin]

but i am sure he changed things

[nocturne spruce]

Is it like the Fritze fishers?

[shy bobcat]

awnser
floppy typing strikes again

[ocean robin]

so let's check

[nocturne spruce]

or something

[thick charm]

There is no place like home come on Flops

you can do it

[placid heath]

le awnser

[shy bobcat]

@nocturne spruce -fritze is a suffix but there's no word Fritze in the Duden

🤔

[nocturne spruce]

Yeah, dict.cc has nothing either

[thick charm]

Fritz is a name

[placid heath]

Ari, ich kenn den Spruch als Fischers Fritz fischt frische Fische

[thick charm]

Fischer is a name and Fisch is an animal

[pine ginkgo]

do you even read me, teeeis

D:

[placid heath]

Das -e bei Fritz ist auf Sol's Mist gewachsen

[nocturne spruce]

So the Fritz fishers fish fresh fish?

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo what

[ocean robin]

Es gibt keinen Ort wie Haus 🤔 when flops hesitates between nominative and akk ™

[pine ginkgo]

i told you

that it was a name

:(

[thick charm]

It's genitive

[shy bobcat]

Fisher's Fritz fishes fresh fish

[ocean robin]

WTF

[shy bobcat]

easy enough

[pine ginkgo]

good job

[thick charm]

Fischers Fritz

not yours Flappy

[ocean robin]

Ah god I was afraid

_>

[shy bobcat]

IDK @pine ginkgo you said yes and no, so I didn't know what the no part meant

[pine ginkgo]

you asked for two words

[nocturne spruce]

Oh, it's a full name

[pine ginkgo]

D:

[nocturne spruce]

🤦

[shy bobcat]

That would be referring to Fischer being an actual word I assume @pine ginkgo 😛

[thick charm]

So I'm gonna go ahead and say that you didn't mistranslate the words here, Flappy. However they don't make sense in this combination. Home here implies your home, the house you're living in. That wouldn't usually be translated as just Haus.

[dire sentinel]

I'm confused too as to the translation of "home" vs "house"

[ocean robin]

🤔

[dire sentinel]

I would have translated it just like Flappo did

[shy bobcat]

Think of "there's no place like at home" I think

at least my guess would be Es gibt keinen Ort wie zu Hause

[ocean robin]

Zu Hause? IDK.

Wait what

It would be zu Hause? TIL.

[dire sentinel]

would it?

[thick charm]

Zuhause works as a noun too

[nocturne spruce]

Yeah

[shy bobcat]

yeah

[ocean robin]

TIL.

[thick charm]

either zu Hause or Zuhause

[shy bobcat]

there's also Heim and Heimat but those are a bit different.

[thick charm]

daheim would work

[shy bobcat]

yeah, daheim is just a regional way of saying zu Hause

[thick charm]

But don't use that unless you know what you're doing.

^

[shy bobcat]

IDK which regions, but I know that it's regional

😛

[dire sentinel]

it sounds cuter

[ocean robin]

I want to have one sentence righto in one attempt again

[thick charm]

You're gonna like this one

[red pewter]

[ocean robin]

Actually that nickname idk where I found it

🤔

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin I think you could probably just say Wir haben immer Paris and that would work too because German can do that with the present

but yours is good too

[red pewter]

are we still translating :?

[ocean robin]

yay

YEEEEAH BELL

[shy bobcat]

@red pewter your whole life is just translating

[ocean robin]

I hate my phone huh ;__;

[shy bobcat]

[red pewter]

the first clause was good

[shy bobcat]

weil ist er gesunden

[thick charm]

weil does something to the verb
