[stiff topaz]

that's why you're always banned solet

flopping off everyone

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo what’s the deal with gestrenge 🤔 is it just an old word

[pine ginkgo]

why are you blue

[ocean robin]

I am sorry, I must go for 20 mins.

OH ARI IS BLUE

[stiff topaz]

yes

it's very old

verraltet lautet dict.cc

[shy bobcat]

veraltet*

[pine ginkgo]

why are you blue

🤔

[shy bobcat]

Ja, blauer Name. Wenn du keine fehler machen würdest wärst du Gelb.

I mean, maybe Korea’s memeing but 🤷

[pine ginkgo]

well

there are worse blue people than you

[viscid cape]

So Flappy flopped once again

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo if you would prefer it this way

[pine ginkgo]

yep

we allow flops to proceed

once she is as good as you

[shy bobcat]

lel nah

let’s get back to the important task at hand, namely torturing everyone

[pine ginkgo]

flops is out

no point

[shy bobcat]

😦

of course

what else would I expect

😒

[pine ginkgo]

i mean i could try to bully you

but making complex sentences for C people is annoying

[shy bobcat]

I mean kryptik’s here, and a couple others

🤔

[viscid cape]

I'm not here

👁 u 👁

[shy bobcat]

[pine ginkgo]

translate Was hassn dn dadn gmacht

or transform it into a recoginizable sentence

idc

[shy bobcat]

Is that some sort of dialect 👀

umm I’m really really shit with those

[pine ginkgo]

shouldn't you know, mr c :)

[shy bobcat]

It obviously is, but I’m bad with dialects

[pine ginkgo]

:D

[shy bobcat]

I do not give up tho

[sudden panther]

Ooh challenge accepted.

[pine ginkgo]

so

do it

try it :)

[shy bobcat]

I am

[pine ginkgo]

imagine you had to try kölsch

or sächsisch

then look at this cute example

[cold vessel]

Congratulations, Ari

[sudden panther]

I'd rather stick to Wienerisch. :^)

[cold vessel]

How do I address you now?

[shy bobcat]

is kölsch that bad @pine ginkgo ?

only thing I really have genuinely no idea about is dadn

the rest of it is probably something like “was hast du mit den/dem (no idea which, since IDK what dadn is) X gemacht”

[pine ginkgo]

where did you get the mit from

[shy bobcat]

Felt better.... it probably can go without.

“Was hast du mit dem alten Teeeislein gemacht” usw.

[pine ginkgo]

(it's fine if you can get the gist of the sentence, btw, doesnt have to be super correct)

:D

[shy bobcat]

yeah I just have no idea what a dadn is

[pine ginkgo]

though admittedly

this is kinda a bit of dialect more dialectified

you got most of it correct

but not the meaning so far :P

[shy bobcat]

I’ll get it. ..... maybe

[pine ginkgo]

the hassn is pretty ambigious

:P

eheheh

[shy bobcat]

eheheh you’re good

[quasi merlin]

Huh

Arizona ist blau

[shy bobcat]

ja

[pine ginkgo]

anyway

since i feel sleepy

[shy bobcat]

[pine ginkgo]

Was hast du denn da denn gemacht

[sudden panther]

Just woke up from a nap. Sucks 2 be luner. 😎

[viscid cape]

Teaching Flappo has drained all of your juice

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo that’s ....

makes a lot more sense than what I was going for

😛

[pine ginkgo]

the funny thing is

how you wanna unwrap hassn

it can be hast du

haste denn

hast denn du

and so on

:P

[shy bobcat]

😛

so, why the double denn 😛

[pine ginkgo]

because you can

[shy bobcat]

besides to confuse about hassn

oh

lol

[pine ginkgo]

also they are slightly different

but modal particles

[sudden panther]

Hello Chuckerina.

[pine ginkgo]

kinda like

[shy bobcat]

now, one more question:

imagine you had to try kölsch
is kölsch like extremely hard or something

[pine ginkgo]

when you have Was hast du denn da gemacht

and you have Was hast du da denn gemacht

[sudden panther]

Arizona what the shit is this lol https://i.imgur.com/9SB0HuU.png

[pine ginkgo]

and then you combine both meanings

[shy bobcat]

[torn latch]

Oh yes indeed

[sudden panther]

And make the dialect lovely.

[pine ginkgo]

if you are not speaking in any dialect, you are a snobbity snob

[shy bobcat]

Lol

[tribal warren]

Congrats on reaching C-Level!

[nocturne spruce]

@sudden panther Get level C

at this rate everyone will have it before you

[sudden panther]

He'll be native when he marries an Austrian.

I don't mind. 😛 I'll get it when I feel like a C.

[tribal warren]

Only then will he be a Austrian Arizonian Chupacabra

I like how I inverted the verb position in that phrase

[shy bobcat]

Wenn Luna sagt, jeder Deutschsprachige (autocorrect 😡) muss einen Dialekt können, aber du kennst Muttersprachler, die keinen können

[tribal warren]

[whole rapids]

have you officially become C or unofficially?

[shy bobcat]

Unofficial lel

You think I'm paying to find out for real

[whole rapids]

k, thought you might have done a test

[tribal warren]

He's a C in our hearts

[shy bobcat]

😂

[whole rapids]

I dunno

you might be swimming im Geld

[cold vessel]

How much is a test?

[tribal warren]

Expensive

[sudden panther]

^

[tribal warren]

Idk in dollars

[sudden panther]

It also depends on the level.

The higher ones are more expensive.

[tribal warren]

I think 200 euros or something

or 250, don't remember

[sudden panther]

And also depends on where you're taking it I guess.

I don't think mine was more than 100€. Possibly even a bit less idk.

[tribal warren]

It's the one on the right (Para Alunos/ Para Externos means To students / To non-students)

So the C1 is 260 Euros D:

Yea these are in 7x1 Land I think

And it depends if you're a student of the Goethe courses

[cold vessel]

An A1 or A2 certificate seems like kind of a waste

[tribal warren]

Agreed

It's just more money to them $$

[sudden panther]

Depends.

There are people who actually need A1 for something. Can't really remember what it was though.

[red pewter]

75 euros for an A1 lordie

[tribal warren]

Oh, didn't know that Arrem

[cold vessel]

How could you possibly do anything useful with A1 🤔

[tribal warren]

Idk

And Arrem doesn't remember xD

But like, even if you know 0 of the language you're A1

[red pewter]

I dunno, I feel like my german is useful as it is and i'm A1

[sudden panther]

Like, old people in my course needed it. Maybe they require it for a visa or something, idk.

[tribal warren]

So this Prüfung is like, you go there, you pay and they look at you and give you your certificate xD

[red pewter]

Unheimlicher, untrue. there are requirements for A1

[valid ice]

only a1 german to study in wien?

[sudden panther]

But like, even if you know 0 of the language you're A1
Teeechnically false. You need to know a tiny bit.

[valid ice]

im coming to live with you orrom

[sudden panther]

Old people. Just to move there with their families maybe. I'm just making assumptions here.

You need B2 or C1 to study.

[valid ice]

ugh

[red pewter]

So tough 😦

[tribal warren]

Oh makes sense, to get a Visa

[sudden panther]

But A1 is pretty much a meme, yes. As long as you can introduce yourself, describe a simple picture, understand basic street signs and newspaper ads and write a silly 30 word email, you're A1.

[tribal warren]

I can't do that

[valid ice]

so im a2

great

[tribal warren]

I'm A0

[red pewter]

So it's okay for me to call myself A1 :?

[sudden panther]

Sure.

[tribal warren]

Depends if you really think you're A1

[sudden panther]

You can find some examples of the official tests in the resource list, if you're interested.

[red pewter]

Am I still on track to be A2 by the end of the year :?

[cold vessel]

Can I use a dictionary for the silly email 🤔

[sudden panther]

Absolutely.

No, hen, you can only use a dictionary from B2+. But the A1 email is something silly like inviting someone to your super cool party, or writing a letter to your German friendo. You introduce yourself, ask them how they're doing, banter around a bit more to get 30 words, say goodbye and that's it.

[tribal warren]

Yea it's those letters that you make for the textbooks in the german course

[cold vessel]

I don't know if I could to that tbh. My vocab is so shit

[sudden panther]

Henpls.

[red pewter]

you totally could

[tribal warren]

It doesn't require vocab

[sudden panther]

^

[red pewter]

Hello, how are you? How is the weather in germany? I miss you. When will I see you? Let's go shopping. I love you. I want to see you. Thanks, Bell

[tribal warren]

It's stuff like "Der Tag ist schön. Ich bin sehr traurig."

[red pewter]

it doesn't have to be GOOD stuff.

[tribal warren]

And it has so many clauses

Yea, that stuff bell

[sudden panther]

https://i.imgur.com/8tMvvBL.png

You're even told what to write about in A1.

[cold vessel]

As an example, I just had to look up "einladen"

[sudden panther]

If you're completely out of words, it's fine to list 5623452345 family members in the last part.

[red pewter]

that's to invite right?

[sudden panther]

Yeah.

[red pewter]

I only recently learned it

vocab is so weird. it's hard to judge your number of words. Like the tests can guess about which you know but what if i know the word for "salamander" but not "to guess"?

[tribal warren]

@red pewter I'm fairly sure you won't write about a salamandar or use the verb guess in these E-Mails

[red pewter]

no no i mean in general

[cold vessel]

Why do I know the word for "guess" but not "invite" 😂

[red pewter]

it's hard to get a count of all the words you know

becuase you might miss more frequent ones

or know less frequent ones

etc

[tribal warren]

Your brain learned that word more easily

Once word that never got outta my head is Die Absicht

[red pewter]

no clue what that means

[tribal warren]

The intention/purpose

But there are words that are much more simple that I forget sometimes

Like this one day I don't remember the context, I was going to write "Die Tasche"

and I couldn't remember what it meant

and I was freaking out xD

[red pewter]

lol

I like the word for birth control

best word

makes me giggle

and my german friend can't see why i think it's so funny D:

[tribal warren]

Antibabypille?

[red pewter]

yes!

[tribal warren]

I don't know how you call those in English

When you forget something so bad for a few seconds

[red pewter]

english isn't your native language?

we say "At the tip of my tongue"

[cold vessel]

You just say "birth control" I think?

[tribal warren]

No, not that

We use that in portuguese as well (Está na ponta da língua)

The one I mean is "Deu branco"

Something that roughly translates to

I've whitened or something like that

I've had a white

[red pewter]

brain fart!

[tribal warren]

Yea brain fart

I had a brain fart with "Die Tasche" xD

[red pewter]

some words just don't stick

[cold vessel]

In Norwegian they're called "P-piller", basically meaning "prevention pills"

[tribal warren]

Yea brains are weird

[red pewter]

i hate these names

birth control isn't just for birth

can we stop pretending it's only to stop babies?

[tribal warren]

Antibabypille is funny, though, I agree

[red pewter]

it has so many uses

[tribal warren]

Babys sind verboten

😠

Ne

Das Baby, Die Babys

😄

[red pewter]

DIE babys

die. babys.

[tribal warren]

haha

[whole rapids]

wow cbell

[tribal warren]

When punctuation changes everything

[whole rapids]

didn't know you had it in you

[tribal warren]

kbell

killerbell

[whole rapids]

no mercy

[tribal warren]

That one movie

Killbell

[red pewter]

D:

no let's not make this a thing

[tribal warren]

Sorry kbell

[red pewter]

NO D:

[placid heath]

Berg, are you making kbell sad? :P

[tribal warren]

I don't know, am I?

[placid heath]

Are you? I don't know

[tribal warren]

We'll never know

[placid heath]

k

[tribal warren]

haha

It's okay, kbell won't stay

Knowing myself, I'll just forget about the kbell thing in a few days

[shy bobcat]

😦

[mortal hound]

Anybody want to give out some sentences to translate?

[tribal warren]

Translate: "Anybody want to give out some sentences to translate?"

[mortal hound]

Oh geez

[placid heath]

👍🏻

[mortal hound]

Jemand wollen irgendeine Sätze übersetzen ausgeben?

I feel that’s way off lol

[shy bobcat]

your feelings are right

[mortal hound]

Well that’s good hahah

That wasn’t exactly what I was expecting

[shy bobcat]

well, let’s see if you can spot any of the mistakes

[mortal hound]

I’m sure my verbs are misplaced

Also wollen should be first

[viscid cape]

@mortal hound Yes it should

[mortal hound]

Should ausgeben be separated?

[viscid cape]

ausgeben usually means to spend

so it's not really correct here

You can use vorbringen I think

[mortal hound]

Oh I looked up “to give out” and that’s what it gave me.

[viscid cape]

Yeah I wouldn't say it's not possible, but it's probably unusual to use it in this sense

[mortal hound]

Okay ill gonna give it another shot lol

Wollen jemand vor irgendeine Sätze übersetzen bringen

[viscid cape]

What's the subject?

[mortal hound]

Sentences?

[viscid cape]

No, the grammatical subject of your sentence

[mortal hound]

Anybody

[viscid cape]

In German

[mortal hound]

Jemand

[viscid cape]

Is that singular or plural

[mortal hound]

Singular

[viscid cape]

So why is your verb in plural

[mortal hound]

I just thought that was the infinitive

[viscid cape]

You need to have a conjugated verb

If you're using a modal verb (wollen), that'll be the conjugated ver

b

[mortal hound]

Willst jemand?

[viscid cape]

-st is for 2nd person

The subject is not 'du', it's 'jemand'

[mortal hound]

I’m always get confused on how to conjugate verbs for words like jemand

[viscid cape]

when the subject is not "I" or "you", it's third person

[mortal hound]

Okay

So

Will jemand

[viscid cape]

And since it's a polite request, you might as well use "möchten"

instead of wollen

[mortal hound]

Ach so

Möchte jemand

[viscid cape]

Yes

Now, since möchten works as a modal

You need an infinitive

[mortal hound]

Verb goes to the end as well, right?

[viscid cape]

Yes, with modals the verb goes to the end

the whole verb

prefix included

[mortal hound]

Möchte jemand irgendeine Sätze übersetzen vorbringen?

[viscid cape]

Now things start getting complicated. German can't imitate English's construction with one infinitive after the other like that

[mortal hound]

Yeah I’m certain this is over my head lol

[viscid cape]

You had better say something like "Would someone like to put forward a sentence, so that I can translate it?"

So you need to break it down in two sentences

try the first part

(just remove one infinitive)

[mortal hound]

Möchte jemand irgendeine Sätze vorbringen

[hot cloak]

könnte jemand einen Satz für mich vorbringen, um zu übersetzen

ist besser ^

Sätze - plural

so you can't use irgendeine

plural form has no indefinite pronomens

you can say irgendwelche Sätze

[viscid cape]

@hot cloak an "um zu" clause doesn't work here, because the subject isn't the same as the main sentence's

[hot cloak]

🤔

damit ich übersetze

dann

[viscid cape]

Yes

[hot cloak]

a hard theme for me

cause in my native it works

:FeelsBadMan:

[viscid cape]

damit ich ihn (den Satz) übersetze

Yeah I frequently do that as well

So @mortal hound , "Möchte jemand mir einen Satz vorbringen, ..."

then you have to use a consecutive clause

introduced by "damit"

Try it again

[hot cloak]

ich bin Ingenieur vom Beruf

oder von Beruf

?

[viscid cape]

von Beruf

[hot cloak]

dane

danke

[viscid cape]

@placid heath would "Möchte mir jemand einen Satz vorbringen, damit ich ihn übersetze" be really a good translation?

[placid heath]

That would work, yes. Sounds formal with vorbringen, but works.

I'd personally say mir jemand, but I'm unsure with this

[viscid cape]

Thank you 👌

[hot cloak]

sagt man "welche ist deine Muttersprache?"

ist es korrekt oder nicht?

[quasi merlin]

"was"

Unless you have a list of languages

[hot cloak]

danke

:heart:

@quasi merlin sagt man "wie ist dein Nachname?"

[quasi merlin]

Ja.

[red pewter]

German can't do multiple infinitives in a row :? I've seen "Wir möchten essen gehen"

[royal pollen]

They can as far as I know

[opal sequoia]

Huh? Who said they can't?

[arctic helm]

yes they can....

[red pewter]

i must have misunderstood what was said earlier ignore me T_T

[rustic portal]

I think I have finished my tabellarischer lebenslauf, and the stuff I have so far in the bewerbung looks okay. Though what does it mean when they say "Mit dem Bewerbungsschreiben stellst Du dich vor. Wir freuen uns, wenn wir hier bereits etwas über Dich und Deinen Berufswunsch erfahren." I mean, what sort of info are they looking for?

[sudden panther]

What's the CV for?

Seems odd that they'd ask for your Berufswunsch if you're applying for a job. 🤔

[olive valley]

That's indeed a bit weird but maybe they're asking why you'd like to have that kinda job

[arctic helm]

What kind of thing do you expect to be learning from your job if you get hired

[rustic portal]

Here is what I have already written (It may be terrible)

@sudden panther It is a duales studium/ausbildung

[mild cosmos]

@rustic portal in my experience, if you use google docs and set the permissions to anyone with the link can view and anyone with the link can comment, then post the link to the doc in the writing channel, someone will get back to you with corrections. it just might not be immediately. I've never needed to wait for longer than just a couple of hours though.

some users would rather be able to edit the whole thing so if you set it to anyone with the link can edit, make a backup copy of your original or else you won't be able to easily see what they corrected

compared to your original

[rustic portal]

Oh, I was hoping more for input as to whether I was on the right track and what else I could improve right now. The topic rather than corrections

[mild cosmos]

ah ok

nevermind then

[rustic portal]

Here is a copy link anyway in case people would prefer to write feedback as a comment https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YC1G5RHm19_phcbiwH5CjF21MEsOrOms01gczB91pqs/edit?usp=sharing

[lavish saddle]

I fixed a few things that I thought I could fix. Idk about the entire sentence flow and maybe some germans can help you make this sound even better...But I fixed some grammar and stuff 😄

You have an actual resume to attach to it, correct?

[fair iron]

I'll take a look.

Doubt I'll find much, though.

Why does everything I type turn into a comment. 🤔

[rustic portal]

I do have a resume to attach it to but not sure if I should bother. Got a message about it that has really knocked me.

It is set to comments and view

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xpcg5emzoxGLwtEVJ-sU41SEbUU4AgqiKQPK79lxgRo/edit?usp=sharing

Here's the CV

[lavish saddle]

it kept saying you were adding it for me

it shows it in your pink color so she knows what is changed

[rustic portal]

Yes, I can see what people have put

"Terrible. Not a single right sentence. Will there ever be a time when I do not have to pick up your slack???" Is what I got from my boyfriend

[fair iron]

How encouraging. 👀

[lavish saddle]

its still showing up as comments o.o

wow

Thats not very nice

German aint easy yo

and is he native german?

[rustic portal]

He is native german

[lavish saddle]

then he should be helping you 😮

and encouraging you

[rustic portal]

He is frustrated that I do not have a job after a year and so he is supporting my son and I, and that I keep coming to him and asking stupid questions and can't do things myself

[whole rapids]

is he being sarcastic? That's pretty mean

[rustic portal]

No, he is not being sarcastic

[whole rapids]

maybe you should tell him that jobs aren't farted out of the sky

[lavish saddle]

exactly

Im jobless and I COULD get a job right now

[rustic portal]

He says that I am not putting in enough effort

[lavish saddle]

:c aw

[whole rapids]

well, I don't know your situation, but such a comment is not going to exactly make you feel motivated

kinda pisses me off

[lavish saddle]

Same

[rustic portal]

It does not

[lavish saddle]

Just because you make mistakes, doesnt mean youre not putting in any effort

[rustic portal]

I have issues with self confidence anyway and so he gets annoyed that he keeps having to pick me up

[lavish saddle]

that means youre trying even though youre unable to do it perfectly. In my opinion, thats trying more than most people

it's hard forming your own sentences and learning the ways to email people

[rustic portal]

It's also that I do not know what is expected

Like I would never have guessed to put a photo on my CV unless someone told me

[lavish saddle]

Yeah, emailing is a whole lot stricter here

and its different from the US/UK standards too

in the States, you can choose to put your photo on it, most dont

Here its almost like a "You have to, that just how its done"

[whole rapids]

yeah, I didn't know the photo thing either until my gf told me

UK CVs are a lot more anonymous than German ones

[lavish saddle]

But that's what your partner is supposed to do

theyre supposed to help you figure out those differences

x.x just like hed have to if he went to the UK

[whole rapids]

although people still replied to me without the photo on it so I dunno, guess it's not mega important

yeah

[lavish saddle]

Its not mega important yea

but, its normal

its almost a standard

[rustic portal]

In the UK you are told not to put a picture but you can if you want

[lavish saddle]

Keep on rockin though, you can do it c: just stay positive

we're always here to help

[rustic portal]

and there is a specific format to cover letters but not like the german one

[whole rapids]

there is lol? I just did whatever

[rustic portal]

The UK format (as I was taught it in school) is to say the name of the job, and where you found it as an intro sentence, then summarise the important parts of your CV which relate to requirements, say why you want to work there (basically be a kiss ass) and then summarise with saying the CV is attached and look forward to a response

[whole rapids]

oh, I didn't know that

I basically did that except the last part since it was implied

[rustic portal]

Not every school teaches it, especially now they changed the curriculum so much

It isn't considered a priority any more

but 12-14 years ago it was considered super important that letters had to be exactly right (at least in my old school)

But in Germany summarising your CV is seen as unnecessary and inefficient

back in a bit, getting my son

[viscid cape]

Teach your son D&D

👁w👁

[rustic portal]

Back

I will be when he is old enough

[sturdy shadow]

Teach him DSA

Make him super german

Nobody will be able to send you back to the UK

[wintry rivet]

dsa is a german thing?

[pine ginkgo]

yep

[sturdy shadow]

Yep

Das Schwarze Auge ist ein deutscher Abklatsch von DnD und Elster

[placid heath]

Um was gehts gerade?

[sturdy shadow]

DSA

[placid heath]

Soviel hab ich auch mitbekommen, was das?

[sturdy shadow]

Das Schwarze Auge ist ein deutscher Abklatsch von DnD und Elster

[placid heath]

Computerspiele?

[pine ginkgo]

Pen and paper

[sturdy shadow]

🅱en and 🅱aper

[shy bobcat]

ẞen and ẞaper ^^

[sudden panther]

ẞan Ariẞona.

[shy bobcat]

Aẞẞem needs a ẞan

[rustic portal]

What is Das Schwarze Auge about?

Is it fantasy or...?

[sturdy shadow]

Imagime you took dnd

And mix it with the fun and specificness of tax returns

[rustic portal]

Okay, German or British tay returns?

Because personal tax returns in britain are easy

Then again, I worked as an accounts clerk so I may be biased

[copper pike]

I love that description, Erik

[sturdy shadow]

German ones

Imagine DnD but not only german in language, but also in rules

It's literally someone who saw Adnd and said "hmmpf let's tone that down a little it's too much fantasy. Also there needs to be way more rules"

[rustic portal]

Sounds like 3.5 with all the supplements

only less fantasy

[sudden panther]

[sudden panther]

I watched Pokemon as a kid a long long time ago and I forgot everything because I was fokken 3 and didn't have a working brain, so most of my name knowledge comes from rewatching in German. I can mooostly identify the English ones, but eh.

[placid heath]

I mostly know the ones up to around 500
