[viscid cape]

It's a law of nature

[toxic urchin]

A creepy pervy penguin

[viscid cape]

Still a penguin

[mortal venture]

he was a penguin who's original mate died, and in this zoo they have similar anime cut-outs all over their enclosures. Grape-Kun, the penguin, fell in love with this one and was so in love that he wouldn't eat or even socialize with other penguins. It got so bad that they tried putting him in a fence just to get him away from it, though he could still see it from where he was kept. They even removed it but I guess fans made a big fuss because they put it back a little while later.

he'd just legit spend all day looking at it, showing signs of affection towards it, even sleeping near it.

boy was dedicated

[viscid cape]

Wow

See @toxic urchin

Penguins are loyal.

[mortal venture]

well they are one of the few animals in the world who mate for life

so yeah

[toxic urchin]

You said he was a creepy perv kryptik

[mortal venture]

well yer both wrong on that 😤

[lavish saddle]

Luna, Im being bullied q-q

[valid ice]

I have always fancied being able to enhance low quality pictures to DNA-size scale 🤔

we shall replicate kelso with my new found talent in that case

[pine ginkgo]

[lavish saddle]

😂 Leave my pinky fingerprint alone

[pine ginkgo]

it's all part of becoming a waifu

[lavish saddle]

TTuTT what if I dont want to be a waifu anymore

[pine ginkgo]

woa, chriskun, what became of your dreams!?

[lavish saddle]

I got bullied out of them

xD

[pine ginkgo]

woa

no weeb anymore

[lavish saddle]

nvm, I wanna be the ultimate waifu, Im not giving up yet >.<

[pine ginkgo]

no waifu dreams anymore

[placid heath]

Sol, I can trace an IP using a VB GUI

[pine ginkgo]

now you only got candy

but can you... double hack?

[lavish saddle]

noo, imma still be a waifu one day q3q

[placid heath]

I can Rinder hack

[pine ginkgo]

arrem can you double hack?

[sudden panther]

Speaking of Kelso, you know what she did? She floppsed out of her logic thingo yesterday.

I can indeed double hack.

[pine ginkgo]

did she?

i thought she tried

i fell asleep somewheb through the first exercise

[sudden panther]

She did the first one. And then died halfway through the second one.

[pine ginkgo]

rip

[lavish saddle]

quq

hehe

q3q

Sowwy

[pine ginkgo]

if you cant be a weeb

you have to become a nerd

[lavish saddle]

I died through the second problem though :c Im a bad nerd

I gotta go to nerd school

[pine ginkgo]

you have a respawn point, chriskun

just keep on dying

[valid ice]

nerd nontheless 🤔

[opal sequoia]

How is your programming assignment going, Kelsey?

[valid ice]

you have the role, you can't not be a nerd

[lavish saddle]

Im working on mooc

[pine ginkgo]

study and chill? lewd chriskun

[lavish saddle]

lol

[pine ginkgo]

and your bf isnt even home

l-lewd

[lavish saddle]

I have a few assignments to do before I have the knowledge to solve it

but I think ive already done it before 🤷🏼

[opal sequoia]

Ohh.

[lavish saddle]

but I wanna restart, I havent touched this in like 6 months

[pine ginkgo]

let's race who does it faster

ehehhehe

[lavish saddle]

Thatd be an unfair battle 😄

[pine ginkgo]

😦

[lavish saddle]

especially since my intellij is bullying me

[pine ginkgo]

bully back

[lavish saddle]

I am >.<

[pine ginkgo]

ohohohooh

i have an idea

you can screen share

[valid ice]

idea? 🚪

[pine ginkgo]

and we look at you bully :D

[lavish saddle]

lol

why

[opal sequoia]

Yes!

[lavish saddle]

what for o.o

no thanks

[pine ginkgo]

i should learn more intellij shortcuts though 🤔

[lavish saddle]

I bullied it and it works now

[opal sequoia]

It's second best to being there to stare over your shoulder.

[lavish saddle]

it was just going blank and freezing

[pine ginkgo]

quq

[lavish saddle]

like 2 times in a row when loading the new exercise

[pine ginkgo]

let us watch you chriskun quq

[rustic portal]

who wants to watch something random

and i mean it is super random and super weird

[placid heath]

What is it?

[lavish saddle]

Nou quq -Luna

[rustic portal]

a youtube video

it is called soap tips

[placid heath]

Sol, just h4x her PC and stream it

[pine ginkgo]

you gotta help korea

[placid heath]

k.

@lavish saddle ' OR 1=1; --

Now you solet

[lavish saddle]

TTuTT watching me do beginning stuff isnt entertaining anyways

[pine ginkgo]

it is :D

do it chriskun!

[lavish saddle]

but im reading ono

and I have to head out soon

:c

this is all im doing rn

Hm, I can maybe do this one...I have like half an hour TuT

if you really wanna watch

[sudden panther]

Cute.

[lavish saddle]

I know

TuT

[sudden panther]

So. Now explain why you need a + a instead of just a.

[lavish saddle]

if it were a+ instead of +a+ it wouldnt see it as a variable 🤔

and try mathing it up

well

[sudden panther]

Nou. It would work just fine without the plus. Variables are always variables. 😛

[lavish saddle]

it would?

e.e damn

[pine ginkgo]

yes

java types are strongly typed

[lavish saddle]

I thought I needed the plus there

[pine ginkgo]

so you don't have to do anything to them

[lavish saddle]

sweet 👌🏼

next exercise is with a scanner

yippee

[opal sequoia]

What is the +a thing?

[lavish saddle]

Im going to attempt to do this next one fast e3e

it apparently only has to be a+

[pine ginkgo]

tbh i thought +a would throw an error 🤔

[lavish saddle]

mwuahahah

it didnt

[opal sequoia]

Yeah but what is it for?

[lavish saddle]

so that it knows to put the variable in that spot 🤔

and then you have to add the +s inbetween everything new

[pine ginkgo]

eh

i have to look up what the plus actually does at the start of a string

[lavish saddle]

Do you want me to stream this then 🤔 Idk if I have enough time to finish it

[pine ginkgo]

next time, chriskun :D

[opal sequoia]

I see.

[lavish saddle]

👌🏼

I'll try to entertain you with my noob programming next time then 😂

[placid heath]

a is an int

+a is unary plus

[sudden panther]

+a wouldn't throw anrlfeirgo ergaeyeah that

[placid heath]

useless AF

but still exists

[opal sequoia]

What's unary plus?

[placid heath]

Like -12 vs +12

[sudden panther]

An operator that does literally nothing.

[opal sequoia]

Oh wow.

Sounds amazing.

[pine ginkgo]

oh, makes sense

[placid heath]

It's just an integer prefix

with no real meaning

[opal sequoia]

What is it used for?

[placid heath]

Nothing

Formatting

if at all

[opal sequoia]

Wow.

[pine ginkgo]

unary operators ehehe

unary plus ehehe

[placid heath]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2624410/what-is-the-purpose-of-javas-unary-plus-operator

There are uses

Unboxing and stuff you won't need usually

[lavish saddle]

I did it ono

yippee

[opal sequoia]

Oh okay.

Wow, good work.

[pine ginkgo]

mh, interesting

[lavish saddle]

I thought Id have more trouble with it

noice

[pine ginkgo]

i would just cast chars into int or use one of the class methods 🤔

[sudden panther]

^

Honestly abusing operators is just asking for confusion later on. It's like using !! to cast things to bool in C(++).

[lavish saddle]

huh 🤔

[sudden panther]

(This isn't related to anything you're doing Kelso. We're just discussing good practices in general. 😂)

[lavish saddle]

Good

o.o

I have 2 more exercises until Im to the one that is my hw

[whole rapids]

unary operators are good for making mistakes like "=+" instead of "+="

[pine ginkgo]

lol pferd

[sudden panther]

When in doubt, just use the tadpole operator.

[whole rapids]

"~<>"?

[sudden panther]

That's a weird child of the turbofish and the tadpole.

-~ and ~- are the tadpole operators. 😅

[opal sequoia]

Spooky stuff.

[sudden panther]

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20150525-00/?p=45044/

Funny thing is, the tadpole was so good that every major language decided to add it since then.

[whole rapids]

oh wow, that's pretty neat, didn't know about that

[placid heath]

Those operators are just a combination of unary minus and binary not. :D

And as unary operators usually bind very strongly to their argument, the need of parenthesis is eliminated

[lavish saddle]

cute kitty outside

[opal sequoia]

❤

[lavish saddle]

he kept rubbing against me quq

[opal sequoia]

Aww. So nice.

Nice shoes.

[lavish saddle]

[opal sequoia]

Quick, Kelsey. Dispose of the cat and shoes before he finds you!

[valid ice]

D: don't dispose of the cat

[placid heath]

Instructions unclear, disposed of the cat. 🐱 🔫 ☠

[lavish saddle]

😂

your fault call

[arctic helm]

🙀

[sudden panther]

oh wow, that's pretty neat, didn't know about that
Ahahaha. Please don't ever use that in real code. 😂

[placid heath]

Why not? As a #define maybe? :P

[whole rapids]

no fear, it's not often I have to worry about precedence order anyway

[crystal delta]

Instructions unclear, disposed of the cat.

I don't have an instagram of my own, but today I saw an instagram video of a dog butthole latte art

the question I have for any instagram users is this: how does one end up with an instagram where it's possible to see a coffee which also includes a tiny foam dog? and namely, that tiny foam dog's arschloch?

is that just how instagram works? someone somewhere decides it would be useful to post a video of a foam dog latte and you have no choice other than seeing it as you scroll down?

[arctic helm]

simple solution

don't use instagram

[mild cosmos]

that's exactly what I would say

[viscid cape]

@ocean robin 1) The evil villain slowly walked to the store that was open.
2) Luna patiently waits for Floppsel's memeful nice translation.
3) Mika, a hardworking student, is reading a big yellow book.
4) Base quickly appeared and said hi.
5) Krypti promised that he will help Flops.

Blame Arrem

[ocean robin]

LOL

[sudden panther]

"one by one krypti"

[viscid cape]

Let's do it one by one

Ops

[sudden panther]

proceeds to give out the whole thing

[tribal warren]

Kryptik has yet to evolve as a teacher

But he'll be fine

[ocean robin]

He has a long path to take

[sudden panther]

Your task is to translate the sentences to German and identify the adjectives and adverbs.

[ocean robin]

oH gOd

[tribal warren]

And you have exercises 😄

[sudden panther]

And unlike yesterday, you're not floppsing out of the second part today. :^)

[viscid cape]

Listen to Arrem's instructions

[ocean robin]

Oh damn those sentences are nice.

[viscid cape]

Start with 1. Translate, identify adjectives and adverbs

[ocean robin]

Okay let's do 1- Ariiiiiii!

[shy bobcat]

[ocean robin]

Der böse Bösewicht geht langsam nach dem Laden, der geöffnet war. Adjs: böse, geöffnet - Adverb: langsam

[cold vessel]

Can we have a fight about what preposition to use for "Laden"? 😄

[sudden panther]

Yes.

Henbri, what would you choose?

[cold vessel]

Maybe I should have said "you" instead of "we" 🤔

[sudden panther]

Too late now. 😈

[ocean robin]

Why not nach? You're going to the shop, right? 🤔

[tribal warren]

Is it to walk into or to?

Idk, I don't know if I'm supposed to try and help you flapps

so I'll just be quiet =X

[sudden panther]

So that's

1. nach
2. ???
3. idk
   Any more guesseroonis? 😛

[cold vessel]

I mean, the only options are zu, nach or in, right?

[tribal warren]

Yes

[ocean robin]

Zu? 🤔

[sudden panther]

Sure if you're not creative. You can always bring a ladder and use auf.

[ocean robin]

In doesn't sound right.

wat

[tribal warren]

Flappers, do you understand the difference between nach and zu?

That's crucial to make this phrase

the different usages

[ocean robin]

I admit that I always use nach in this case.

[tribal warren]

I won't spoil anything, I swear

[cold vessel]

If I recall correctly, two of these are used by natives, but one more than the other? Unless I'm thinking of another word than "Laden"

[sudden panther]

Okay, but do you know the difference between zu and nach?

[ocean robin]

So no I don't know the difference.

[sudden panther]

Reading time!

https://www.lsa.umich.edu/german/hmr/Grammatik/Praepositionen/Prepositions.html#wohin
tl;dr: If it's not a geographical place, nach is wrong.

[tribal warren]

@cold vessel no

[sudden panther]

With some minor exceptions.

[tribal warren]

""nach" only in conjunction with countries, cities, and other such places. "Nach Paris" is correct, "nach Disneyland" isn't. "zu" means to a place, but not necessarily into it. "Ich fahre zum Disneyland", "Ich fahre zum Supermarkt", also used with persons: "Wir fahren zu Oma"

[cold vessel]

@tribal warren Are you sure? I could have sworn this was discussed once and some German said they personally would use another preposition than the one that was being discussed

[tribal warren]

@cold vessel maybe one's more used, but that's not the difference

sorry I thought that was your answer to "what is the difference between"

we shouldn't spam this chat with this discussion though, let flappy have her space to write her answers

[pine ginkgo]

we have discussed this a few times :)

[ocean robin]

Ah ah ahhhh.

[cold vessel]

Was it an Austrian thing maybe? To use "in" in some contexts where Germans would use "zu"?

[tribal warren]

Flappy, did you rework the sentence?

[ocean robin]

Der böse Bösewicht geht langsam zum Laden, der geöffnet war. Adjs: böse, geöffnet - Adverb: langsam / Like that?

[tribal warren]

hmm there's an error that I can spot

[sudden panther]

Oooh, Bergo is at it.

[ocean robin]

🤔

[tribal warren]

Sorry

[ocean robin]

lel you began, you finish

[sudden panther]

No, no. No need to apologize. You didn't spoil anything, so I'm glad you noticed. 😛

[tribal warren]

What? It's your exercise

[hot oriole]

Was it an Austrian thing maybe? To use "in" in some contexts where Germans would use "zu"?

We say:

Ich gehe in die Schule.

In Germany they say:

Ich gehe zur Schule.

The difference is that we actually go into school and learn something. 😉

[pine ginkgo]

:P but that is something not quite related to this topic

[cold vessel]

@hot oriole Do you still say "zum Laden"/"zur Laden" though?

[pine ginkgo]

zur Laden

....?

[hot oriole]

We don't say Laden but Geschäft. Depends what you want to say. If you go in front of it: zu. If you go inside: in

[tribal warren]

Der Laden, @cold vessel

[cold vessel]

@pine ginkgo I forgot that "zu" only takes dative

[ocean robin]

But I am still wondering about thag 2nd mistake. And I hope it's the last.

[shy bobcat]

@hot oriole is that distinction really not universal? I learned in and zu that way

[ocean robin]

It would be great ;u;

[pine ginkgo]

it is eistee

[shy bobcat]

Ok thank god

😅

[cold vessel]

Ok, so I'm just totally misremembering then

[pine ginkgo]

it is just a bit different for school, since it has differnent... meanings depending on what you use

[viscid cape]

To my mind Flappo's exercise is correct, why is it wrong?

[ocean robin]

[pine ginkgo]

krypti

dm

[ocean robin]

There's another mistake that I didn't have found yet, and I am still wondering about it

[tribal warren]

kryptik

read the english one

[shy bobcat]

didn't have found

[tribal warren]

and then read the german one

one thing's different

[ocean robin]

wtf my english is weird

[viscid cape]

True, thanks 😄

[ocean robin]

I thought I said "haven't found" or something like that 🤔

Anyway let's focuuus.

[shy bobcat]

Flaps this last one isn't a grammatical error, just flopsing

[ocean robin]

[tribal warren]

Jep

[ocean robin]

Wow being the only one who doesn't know the mistake is awkward. 🤔

[viscid cape]

Why is it not a grammatical error

[ocean robin]

Ah it's flopsing? LOL

[tribal warren]

Because it's grammatically correct

[shy bobcat]

Because her sentence is fine German just not a right translation

[sudden panther]

Everything you do is flopsing. Just compare the English version to yours and you'll see it.

[tribal warren]

😎

[ocean robin]

waaaaaaat I don't see

[tribal warren]

Translate yours to english

and compare

[ocean robin]

No Arrem. I did that several times.

[viscid cape]

Well one grammatical category is wrong, so it's a grammatical error

[sudden panther]

Translate yours to English.

[ocean robin]

🤔

[pine ginkgo]

just do it flaps

[viscid cape]

Go flaps

This is just the first out of 5

[ocean robin]

But even if I translate I still find the same thing, at least for me, and since it's wrong, I am goinf to go deeper in the correction

I will just post it again.

[pine ginkgo]

it would be very interesting if you had the same result

[viscid cape]

Aim at the verb and try to spot something off about it

[ocean robin]

Der böse Bösewicht geht langsam zum Laden, der geöffnet war.

[shy bobcat]

The evil villain walked slowly to the store [...] = Der böse Bösewicht geht langsam zum Laden [...] 🤔

[ocean robin]

...oh god

[tribal warren]

haha

It was subtle

[ocean robin]

`1Der böse Bösewicht ging langsam zum Laden, der geöffnet war.``

fak

[shy bobcat]

I had to go read the English over to see what y'all were talking about lel

[tribal warren]

Congrats

[viscid cape]

Okay so one question

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin hasn't Luna told you to stop using preterites

[tribal warren]

böse Bösewicht is weird to me

but it's right, right?

[ocean robin]

awww

[viscid cape]

Why are "böse" and "geöffnet" adjectives and "langsam" an adverb

Explain

[tribal warren]

Yea Flapos

[shy bobcat]

Stop using preterites everywhere since they sound about as silly as passe simples in French

😉

[pine ginkgo]

well

gehen is one of the verbs

with which you can use it no problem

[cold vessel]

Do you have a list of those by any chance?

[sudden panther]

Yes.

[shy bobcat]

Sure but she's still using preterites everywhere first choice

[sudden panther]

It's painful to find though. And can be subjective.

[pine ginkgo]

it's pretty subjective

but any auxilary and modal verb

[tribal warren]

My solution: just use haben + past perfect for everything

or sein

[pine ginkgo]

gehen/wissen/kennen are some of the non-auxilary, non-modal verbs

that are quite normal to use with preterite

[shy bobcat]

^^

[pine ginkgo]

i will never tell people to stop using preterites though

[shy bobcat]

I still like the perfekt better with gehen tbqh

😛

[pine ginkgo]

so stop draggin my name in the mud

[shy bobcat]

Sorry 👀

[pine ginkgo]

:P

[viscid cape]

@ocean robin Still waiting

Did she leave

[tribal warren]

I think so

[sudden panther]

https://german.stackexchange.com/a/5060

[pine ginkgo]

sure, teeeis, i just don't like people saying "never use preterite" or "always use perfect"

especially learners

[shy bobcat]

[pine ginkgo]

atlas can say that any time he wants though

since he is austrian and you will be looked at funnily if you use preterite around his place

[viscid cape]

You'd better not mess with Atlas, lest he drops our world into the void

[tribal warren]

whoa

I'm strictly wrong, then

[ocean robin]

I am busy atm with momma.

[tribal warren]

Thanks for the headsup

[viscid cape]

Tell your mom we love insects

🐛

[sudden panther]

I don't think that'll work Krypti. French people only eat snails. 🐌

[tribal warren]

Scargot 🍷

[viscid cape]

Her mom is a fan of insects though

[ocean robin]

Okay I am back here.

[viscid cape]

Wb

[sudden panther]

Great. Krypti. Continue.

[viscid cape]

@ocean robin Now to the answer

[ocean robin]

Der böse Bösewicht ist langsam zum Laden gegangen, der geöffnet war. if you say so, Ari

[ocean robin]

And for adjectives/adverbs now.

[pine ginkgo]

look at what you did, teeeis 😦

[shy bobcat]

😦

Sorry 😦

I shall never help again

[viscid cape]

@pine ginkgo Now he'll start being gay.

In the bad sense of the word.

[pine ginkgo]

"start"?

🤔

[ocean robin]

"Böse" and "geöffnet" are adjectives here since they hive a more detailed description of the subject and they are declined. Langsam isn't, since because in this case it cannot be declined because it is next to a verb and it gives more explanation about the verb (walking slowly).

Did I go a little bit deep in there? 😅

[viscid cape]

It's good

Is geöffnet declined though?

[tribal warren]

Not really

[shy bobcat]

^^

[tribal warren]

Descriptive Adjective or something

[shy bobcat]

Predicate adjective

[ocean robin]

Ah ah ahhhh.

[shy bobcat]

😉

[viscid cape]

'being declined' is a good criterion, but you'll also find adjectives that aren't declined

Adverbs are never declined. Adjectives may be.

[ocean robin]

Yehah looks to sein

[viscid cape]

The safest criterion is the one you mentioned:

adverbs modify verbs/adjectives/adverbs

adjectives modify nouns/pronouns

[tribal warren]

Yea

Based on that, your explanation was pretty good

[shy bobcat]

^^ 😄

[ocean robin]

Oh thankies. ^^

[viscid cape]

2. Luna patiently waits for Floppsel's memeful nice translation.

[pine ginkgo]

lol

krypti

lol.

nice copy paste

[viscid cape]

😄

[shy bobcat]

I like how we're including non words in our translation practices now

[tribal warren]

memeful

[ocean robin]

memful

[pine ginkgo]

i hope this was intentional krypti

[ocean robin]

mmh

[viscid cape]

Not only new ones, but also ambiguous as to their class

😂

[pine ginkgo]

otherwise i call you a scam

[ocean robin]

XD Nuuu not my foot

[sudden panther]

since they [g]ive a more detailed description of the subject and they are declined.
What if they gave a more detailed description of the object instead?

[tribal warren]

Flappy.exe stopped working

[pine ginkgo]

well i am out for food

don't teach flops non-sense

Why is the name white 🤔

[tribal warren]

Ach so

[leaden stone]

Funny

[sudden panther]

Wrong Flopso.

[tribal warren]

memelich?

[shy bobcat]

[sudden panther]

Just throw the "memeful" out. You're not allowed to use meme words.

[ocean robin]

since they [g]ive a more detailed description of the subject and they are declined.
What if they gave a more detailed description of the object instead?

That is evil heh, but it is adjectives as well since it's not describing an action.

[tribal warren]

Me and Arizona did the eyes :c

[ocean robin]

Nooooooou why.

[sudden panther]

Okay, good.

[shy bobcat]

Ok @ocean robin go look up "wait for"

Tell me what you see

[twilit garden]

wait for it...

[ocean robin]

Erwarten? 🤔

[sudden panther]

Could do.

[twilit garden]

that's more like "to expect"

[ocean robin]

that is "await" huh

[twilit garden]

yeah

[shy bobcat]

there's another option

[sudden panther]

But use warten instead, since you'd need to rephrase the sentence a bit for erwarten.

Just see how warten is actually used. 😛

[ocean robin]

Abwarten

[sudden panther]

Dammit Flops. Warten is fine.

[ocean robin]

my love for seperable verbs

Wait whaaaat.

[shy bobcat]

There is warten with a preposition

[sudden panther]

Your preposition however, is not.

[tribal warren]

prepositions

[ocean robin]

🤔

auf etw./jdn. warten

gOd

[twilit garden]

abwarten = to bide time

[shy bobcat]

in my dict cc it's only like the third down

[sudden panther]

Again, prepositions aren't direct translations of each other either. Just because you use one thing in English doesn't mean that you use the same thing in German. Yes.

[shy bobcat]

Yes @ocean robin

[twilit garden]

yes, Flöpsel "auf X warten"

[ocean robin]

ahhhhh

Then is the case still Akk?

[sudden panther]

Wait.

[shy bobcat]

You tell me

[sudden panther]

See for yourself.

[ocean robin]

god

[sudden panther]

We talked about how to identify cases in a dictionary.

[shy bobcat]

It gives you the answer

[sudden panther]

So you should be able to do that.

[ocean robin]

oh lol

I am flopsing

[twilit garden]

flip-flopsing

[shy bobcat]

auf etw./jdn. warten

[tribal warren]

yea that should give you the answer

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin what does that say

what is jdn short for

[ocean robin]

Luna wartet geduldig auf Floppsels memeliche nette Übersetzungen.

Jemanden -> Akk

[sudden panther]

I told you to throw the memeliche out.

And it's technically still wrong. 😛

[shy bobcat]

^^ use "memevoll" if you want to but also don't use non words at A level 👀

[tribal warren]

I think I know what's off but I'm not so sure 🤔

[sudden panther]

Did Krypti flops away? Why are we doing all the work?

[viscid cape]

I'm here :v

Now

[ocean robin]

But I wanted to meme ;u;

[sudden panther]

No memeing until you're at least B2.

Now go and tell your student that she's wrong, Krypti. 😛

[ocean robin]

Luna wartet geduldig auf Floppsels memevoll nette Übersetzungen. ;____;

[tribal warren]

nah

[sudden panther]

For the love of meme, throw the word out. Completely.

[ocean robin]

"GO AND SAY THAT SHE'S ALWAYS FLOPSING"

Ah lol

[sudden panther]

No memelich. No memevoll. No nothing. No memes at all.

[viscid cape]

2.1) Luna patiently waits for Floppsel's curious, nice translation.
2.2) Luna patiently waits for Floppsel's curiously nice translation.

[tribal warren]

Memes sind verboten

[viscid cape]

Replace it for these two

[shy bobcat]

Whoever included a meme in the original was an idiot

[ocean robin]

Luna wartet geduldig auf Floppsels nette Übersetzungen.

[shy bobcat]

👀

[ocean robin]

Ah.

[sudden panther]

I mean. I did. But I crossed it out. Then the crossout got removed when it was copied over.

[viscid cape]

No "Ah." Do it.

[sudden panther]

Also I still don't accept the original. 😛

[ocean robin]

😦

[sudden panther]

Again, translate your sentence to English.

[ocean robin]

wHat the hEck is wRong here

[pine ginkgo]

thats why i called krypti stupid

[ocean robin]

Wow rude.

[tribal warren]

I should study biology but this is so fun o_o

[pine ginkgo]

i am calling stupid people stupid

nothing rude

[sudden panther]

Biology is easy. There are plants and trees and monkeys and shit and they all live and breathe and eat and then die.

[ocean robin]

🤔

If you say so, Solet

[shy bobcat]

What was the original again

[tribal warren]

@sudden panther No need for biology, now

[viscid cape]

@ocean robin translate these:
2.1) Luna patiently waits for Floppsel's curious, nice translation.
2.2) Luna patiently waits for Floppsel's curiously nice translation.
We'll get to your mistakes in a moment

[tribal warren]

Good thing you summarized everything

[sudden panther]

Luna patiently waits for Floppsel's nice translation. was the original.

Which is not what she has.

[ocean robin]

🤔

[shy bobcat]

Oh god

[tribal warren]

Is there more than 1 mistake? I only spot one

oh nvm 2

[ocean robin]

how to confuse flops sequel

Wait.

[viscid cape]

It's not, I'm just trying to leave the word 'memeful' aside so that I can explain it betterall things considered 😄

[ocean robin]

Oh my goooood.

[shy bobcat]

Back translate yours @ocean robin

[sudden panther]

Dammit. Forgot to remove the memeful. My bad.

[ocean robin]

Flops uses the plural with no reason at all. Damn I am flopsing a lot today.

[pine ginkgo]

it's alright flops

krypti did worse on this sentence than you

[shy bobcat]

Yeah, maybe though you'll read the sentence over a couple more times 😛

[ocean robin]

Luna wartet geduldig auf Floppsels nette Übersetzung. okay that should be okay for that one

[shy bobcat]

Before hitting send

[ocean robin]

Yeah.

[sudden panther]

We tried. It doesn't work.

[shy bobcat]

[sudden panther]

Flops is trying to slow down the inevitable heat death of the universe by conserving her energy. Why bother reading over stuff more than once. 😛

[shy bobcat]

Ikr

3. Mika, a hardworking student, is reading a big yellow book.

@ocean robin go

[sudden panther]

So now go ahead and do what Krypti told you.

[shy bobcat]

Krypti seems to have said bye bye again so

[sudden panther]

No worries, he still told her what to do.

[viscid cape]

I'm still here, but nobody pays attention to what I say anyway lul

[sudden panther]

2.1) Luna patiently waits for Floppsel's curious, nice translation.
2.2) Luna patiently waits for Floppsel's curiously nice translation.

Those two first. Then you can move on.

Also, we'll all shut up now. It's just you and Flops. We'll judge you over PMs.

[ocean robin]

3. Mika, ein fleißiger Schüler, liest ein großes gelbes Buch. I think that is all right. Fleißig, groß and gelb are all adjectives.

[shy bobcat]

Wow lel completely ignoring arrem

[ocean robin]

oH gOd

[pine ginkgo]

i pay attention to you krypti, dw fam

[ocean robin]

wHy

Now I must do those 2 sentences huh

[viscid cape]

@pine ginkgo You were rood to me

Flappo is still ignoring me

[shy bobcat]

😦

[ocean robin]

what

I can't listen to 3 persons at once

Ari asked that I do this sentence, I did

[sudden panther]

You're only listening to Krypti. He's your teacher.

[ocean robin]

Now I must do Arrem's

Ah.

[shy bobcat]

Krypti also voluntold me to help 👀

[sudden panther]

Krypti's word is law.

[pine ginkgo]

voluntold :D

[sudden panther]

So Krypti what do you want her to do?

[viscid cape]

Well she hasn't translated my sentences yet

[pine ginkgo]

i am rood to everyone, dw krypti, i gotchu fam

[ocean robin]

Oh.

Wow I am looost let's do this but before do you want to say of 3 is right ot not?

[viscid cape]

Yes @ocean robin

[pine ginkgo]

:)

poor bullied krypti, i got your back

[viscid cape]

@ocean robin 2.1 and 2.2 are brief modifications of 2

You should do them in 1 minute

[ocean robin]

Okay waito.

[ocean robin]

2.1 Luna wartet geduldig auf Floppsels neugierige, nette Übersetzung. 2.2 Luna wartet geduldig auf Floppsels neugierig nette Übersetzung.

[viscid cape]

Grammarwise it's correct. But neugierig doesn't really fit in here

[ocean robin]

[viscid cape]

To be neugierig is to have curiosity about things

You can't say the translation has curiosity

[sudden panther]

https://i.imgur.com/5ZBEpy1.png

[ocean robin]

mmmh

oH gOd

[sudden panther]

Arrem sees the future.

[shy bobcat]

this is "curious" as in strange

[twilit garden]

out of all of those, you went for the one that doesn't fit

[shy bobcat]

😅

This is called "reading the entry fully" @ocean robin

[twilit garden]

but i like it that you are taking the first translation of the word for once and not some obscure one down the list, Flöpsel ^^

[ocean robin]

uuuugh

LOL

[shy bobcat]

True

[viscid cape]

zzzzzz

[pine ginkgo]

you can get a cookie, krypti

[ocean robin]

Okay then- let's go.

[viscid cape]

Psy-y-y

[ocean robin]

2.1 Luna wartet geduldig auf Floppsels seltsame, nette Übersetzung. 2.2 Luna wartet geduldig auf Floppsels seltsam nette Übersetzung.

[viscid cape]

Okay good.

[shy bobcat]

👍

[viscid cape]

Now to 3.

[quasi merlin]

H-hi

[shy bobcat]

Lol

[vernal prawn]

Hi Mika schatziputzi

[pine ginkgo]

did you forget the questions for the types, krypti?

[viscid cape]

@pine ginkgo She already answered for 2, I think she already understood it in this context

🤔

[pine ginkgo]

alright

i trust you teacher

[thick charm]

[viscid cape]

But she has to do it for 3

Hello @thick charm

[vernal prawn]

Hello chuck!

[sudden panther]

Did she now.

[ocean robin]

3. Mika, ein fleißiger Schüler, liest ein großes gelbes Buch. wooo while he arrived look to sentence now

Okay

[tribal warren]

@ancient spade Do you know if you'll be Online for the reading today?

[ancient spade]

My bus departs at 22:00

So maybe I could

[tribal warren]

Hum does it take too long?

The trip

[ancient spade]

But I would receive some weird stares lol

Yeah, about 19 hours

[tribal warren]

Omgggggggg

😮

[ancient spade]

I know, I should've bought a plane ticket

Hahaha

[tribal warren]

Yea maybe

That'd be what, 2h?

[ancient spade]

Probably

[tribal warren]

970 km

[ancient spade]

The thing is that it stops a lot

To pick people up and drop them

[tribal warren]

Well you could talk on the bus, if you don't mind being stared

[lost dagger]

The bus or the plane?

[cold vessel]

When is the reading?

[tribal warren]

I wouldn't, it's probably weird to talk english and german with people looking at you

@cold vessel In 6 hours

[ancient spade]

But hey at least I get to see some nice mountains

[tribal warren]

Berge ❤

[ancient spade]

I know hahha

[cold vessel]

Ouch, that's late

[ancient spade]

Whatever, I'll never see these people again

[tribal warren]

Yea I guess

[tribal warren]

Fit people

[tribal warren]

19 hours is painful

[ancient spade]

The more things to do, the better

[tribal warren]

I've never had a trip that long in my life

My longest trip was like 10 hours

Or 11

[lost dagger]

THERES AN ANT ON MY PLATE

[viscid cape]

Eat it too, nobody's looking

[hot cloak]

[viscid cape]

[ancient spade]

Nah, you're good

You should follow baseado's advice

[tribal warren]

Hahhahahha

[tribal warren]

Baseado?

[ancient spade]

I'm proud of myself

hahaha

NICE

[ancient spade]

NOICE

[tribal warren]

NAISU

[ancient spade]

Hahaha

[tribal warren]

Yea

He said do it and no one will question it

Already waiting for a demotion bully though

[ancient spade]

Lol

[tribal warren]

Luna will bully me and demote me

[ancient spade]

Nah, you're b1, I'm telling ya

[tribal warren]

K

What actually encouraged me was the readings

and Baseado of course

oh btw me and kryptik made a deal, you should get in

whenever he says something that doesn't make any sense or it's just random shit

we say

baseado

[ancient spade]

Hahaaha

Yeah, that's awesome

[tribal warren]

or we don understand it cause we're dumb

it's our little inside meme

[ancient spade]

Is he aware of what it means?

[tribal warren]

not sure

[ancient spade]

If not, even better

[tribal warren]

I'll ask

[ancient spade]

@viscid cape wake up

[tribal warren]

Stop

Let him schleep

[ancient spade]

Nah

[tribal warren]

Btw how was your travel?

[ancient spade]

Tiresome

[tribal warren]

your travel

I know that's wrong

I'm slowly losing english vocab

[ancient spade]

Yeah, I saw that

Hahaha me too

[tribal warren]

how was your trip

[ancient spade]

That's better

[tribal warren]

yea idk why words just wouldn't come out

he's choking how, everybody's joking now

[ancient spade]

Lol

[tribal warren]

did you read your harry potter thingy?

[ancient spade]

I tried

[tribal warren]

it's pretty hard for a YA, right?

[ancient spade]

What does YA mean?

[tribal warren]

Young Adult

[ancient spade]

Oh

[tribal warren]

It's books made for children but adults also like em

[ancient spade]

I see

[tribal warren]

but basically HP, Percy Jackson, Narnia, Hunger Games, etc

[ancient spade]

I liked Percy Jackson

But I was like 13 when I read it

Hahaha

[tribal warren]

I read like 2 Chapters of narnia in german

so many words I didn't know, but I could actually understand it from context and looking up the words

HP was just very hard

idk why

[ancient spade]

Yeah, it was

Couldn't read it without a dictionary

[tribal warren]

B2 stuff

[ancient spade]

Yeah, B2-C1 maybe

[tribal warren]

Yeap

Kryptiko recommended me Die Verwandlung from Franz Kafka

have you read that?

I've heard that Kafka is impossible to read

he said it was pretty easy i was like wot

[ancient spade]

No haha

I'll look into it

[tribal warren]

it's a book that's cheap to buy inside Brazil

[ancient spade]

I've heard a lot of Kafka

[tribal warren]

like 30 reais max

[ancient spade]

Oh cool

That's probably gonna be 60 here in São Luís tho

We need to ship everything here haha

[tribal warren]

https://www.livrariacultura.com.br/p/livros/literatura-internacional/die-verwandlung-739649

21 reais

if you like physical versions

[ancient spade]

Yeah, I do

[tribal warren]

what you could do is buying on bookdepository, it's like 3 dollars there

and they don't tax

[ancient spade]

Cool

[tribal warren]

bookdepository is an awesome combo

I paid 30 reais for the harry potter

cause Brazil doesn't tax books

and they ship for free

[ancient spade]

That's nice

[tribal warren]

only downside is: it takes a lot of time to arrive

[ancient spade]

Oh

[tribal warren]

the thing is buying like 5 books in 1 go

[ancient spade]

Well, I can deal with that

Yeah

[tribal warren]

https://www.bookdepository.com/Die-Verwandlung-Franz-Kafk/9783872911865?ref=grid-view&qid=1508043341883&sr=1-2

3.82 bucks

[ancient spade]

Cool

[tribal warren]

12 reais

[ancient spade]

Too bad I can't buy books for ita there probably

[tribal warren]

Nope

[ancient spade]

Renato Brito, Caio Guimarães

[tribal warren]

that's more local stuff

[ancient spade]

Yeah

Have you seen these books already?

[tribal warren]

not really

[ancient spade]

I see

They're mostly for IME/ITA

[tribal warren]

what is it

Math?

there's this friend of mine that learns german right

he's been doing classes for 3 years

but he's like a2 I think

he just does classes

he doesn't do anything else

[ancient spade]

That's me 1 and a half years ago lol

I was too stupid

[tribal warren]

today I just came to him and forced german, to see how he could react

[ancient spade]

Still am a little

Woah

[tribal warren]

my god I saw the struggle

his german is too superficial

sounds like a robot

[ancient spade]

You went like mamãefalei but for German?

Lol

[tribal warren]

mamaefalei?

[ancient spade]

Yeah

[tribal warren]

who that

[ancient spade]

Really?

[tribal warren]

oh the guy that does political stuff

the liberalist

[ancient spade]

Yeah hahaha

[tribal warren]

kind of

but he has 0 vocab

[ancient spade]

Goes to rallies and stuff, asking people questions

[tribal warren]

yea

[ancient spade]

That's awful

[tribal warren]

like I used "das hängt von ab"

and he didn't know that

or ".., oder?"

[ancient spade]

Well, that last one is very basic

[tribal warren]

yea

[ancient spade]

You should help him 😄

Tell him he's bad lol

[tribal warren]

I do help him

[ancient spade]

Then help him

[tribal warren]

He refuses my help though

He says he'll only learn next year

cause he gotta learn physics now

But the thing is, he wants history

[ancient spade]

Oh

[tribal warren]

He's basically already in

[ancient spade]

Wait what

[tribal warren]

He wants to do History in uni

[ancient spade]

You don't need to know physics that much for that, do you?

Does he want USP?

[tribal warren]

yea

idk he's just insecure about the vestibular

but he'll pass so easily

[ancient spade]

I see

[tribal warren]

We're the ones that should be insecure

😠
