Nouns captilized, please. 😛

[uncut ember]

Er gibt der Katze einen Fisch

[ocean robin]

Perfecto. 💯

[uncut ember]

hööraz

[ocean robin]

Another sentence with a subordinate clause now?

[uncut ember]

hööray

sure

[ocean robin]

"She has to go to school, because she has a lot to learn."

That might be a little bit difficult.

And Englishing.

[pine ginkgo]

Flaps

[uncut ember]

She has to go to school, because she has a lot to learn

[fair iron]

^

[pine ginkgo]

^

[ocean robin]

My English is broken.

Feel free to use dict.cc for unknown words. 😉

[uncut ember]

Sie musst geht nach Schüle, denn sie viel zu lernt musst?

i dont know a good word for has

as in

has to

[ocean robin]

Oh you used denn. I didn't expect that. 🤔

Anyway.

[uncut ember]

i forgot the other word

[ocean robin]

Do you know how to do infinitves and where we place them in German?

[viscid cape]

Flopponcius

[ocean robin]

Let's take the first clause you wrote, shall we.

[uncut ember]

infinitive?

[ocean robin]

Yas.

[uncut ember]

what is an infinitive

[viscid cape]

MY PUPIL :v THEY GROW UP SO FAST

[uncut ember]

i probably know what it is just not the term

[ocean robin]

Yeah, in the sentence, it was "She has to go to school"

[pine ginkgo]

Krypti are you okay, do you need another cookie?

[ocean robin]

Oh wait. 🤔

[fair iron]

Your pupil? ^^

[ocean robin]

No, I am right okay.

So how do you say to go in German?

[uncut ember]

gehen

?

[ocean robin]

Good.

[viscid cape]

🍪 🍪
😻
🍪 🍪

[tribal warren]

Kryptik liked doing those

[ocean robin]

And then now you put that instead of geht.

[viscid cape]

Danke @pine ginkgo

[uncut ember]

i thought you have to conjugate it for sie

[ocean robin]

Not the infinitive.

[uncut ember]

what is infinitive

[pine ginkgo]

You only conjugate one verb per clause

[ocean robin]

^

[fair iron]

She has to go. to go is also not conjugated here. ^

[uncut ember]

to go?

[ocean robin]

Yeah.

[uncut ember]

does that make the two words combined the infinitive

got it

[fair iron]

Yep.

[uncut ember]

ok

so

[fair iron]

to + verb = infinitive.

[uncut ember]

dont conj inf

got it

[ocean robin]

Okay, so correct please. :P

[fair iron]

All conjugations are conjugated infinitives, it's just that you have already conjugated to have to/to must in that clause.

[uncut ember]

Sie musst gehen nach Schuele, denn sie viel zu lernen hat

[ocean robin]

Okay then.

Next mistake.

Where would you put that infinitive? Because it is wrong. :P

If you don't know, I can explain.

[uncut ember]

bitte

[fair iron]

Start at the very first mistake, Flappy.

[ocean robin]

The very first?

[pine ginkgo]

Yes

[ocean robin]

Huh, there's another one in this clause?

[fair iron]

Yep.

[ocean robin]

Oh yeah.

I see.

Conjugate mussen for me plox.

[uncut ember]

musst?

[ocean robin]

I did the same mistake once :')

Nope. That's for du. Du musst.

[fair iron]

Present indicative third person singular of zu müssen.

[uncut ember]

idk

[ocean robin]

Er/sie/es, to be more simple.

[fair iron]

conj müssen

[viral thunder]

http://conjugator.reverso.net/conjugation-german-verb-müssen.html

[uncut ember]

muss

?

[ocean robin]

Now learn that. :P

[uncut ember]

Sie muss gehen nach Schuele, denn sie viel zu lernen hat

[ocean robin]

Learn at least the present tense for this verb, since it is a modal verb and hence one of the most used.

Okay.

[fair iron]

Now onto the next mistake, Flappy.

[ocean robin]

Then we were talking about the infinitive. This isn't the place for this boy.

Where should it go?

[uncut ember]

at the end?

[ocean robin]

Perfect!

Now do that.

[uncut ember]

Sie gehen nach Schule muss, denn sie viel zu lernen hat

[ocean robin]

Wait. No.

[uncut ember]

: (

[fair iron]

You already correctly guessed where to put it. ^^

[ocean robin]

gehen must go at the end. Not muss. Remember that the verb is a stubborn little boi and it always want to be V2 in the main clause.

[uncut ember]

Sie muss nach schule gehen

, denn sie viel zu lernen hat

[ocean robin]

Good.

[uncut ember]

so

[ocean robin]

Then, reminder: Nouns captilzed. :P

[uncut ember]

the infinitive verb always goes at the end?

Sie muss nach Schuele gehen

[ocean robin]

It depends whether the clause is subordinated or not.

[uncut ember]

in a standalone clause

for got the technical term for it

inf goes at end?

[ocean robin]

Then you used denn in the second clause. But you used the right order if it was weil, that means a subordinate clause.

[uncut ember]

explain

[ocean robin]

And weil is way more used than denn. But I don't know; natives can confirm that or you can hear denn often? 🤔

[viscid cape]

Isn't she kewt

Okay I'll stop

[uncut ember]

so if its a subordinat clause i use weil

but then when would i ever use denn

because is never not in a subordinating clause

so

what next

[ocean robin]

In a subordinate clause, the conjugated verb always goes to the end, with the infinitive next, but not at the end. (Hope that's understandable.)

Example:

"Ich habe eine Katze, weil ich eine Katzefreundin bin."

[uncut ember]

weil sie viel hat lernen zu

[ocean robin]

The word order you had was right for weil, why do you change it? 🤔

[uncut ember]

denn sie viel hat lernen zu

[fair iron]

What's your current sentence in its entirety?

[uncut ember]

Sie muss nach Schuele gehen, weil sie viel hat lernen zu

[fair iron]

What's the first mistake, Flappy?

[ocean robin]

I said word order.

[fair iron]

What clause is the earliest mistake in?

[ocean robin]

Wait.

We did say something nach and zu earlier, right?

[uncut ember]

yes

[fair iron]

When is nach used? ^^

[uncut ember]

too soon

when there is no article

[fair iron]

When the location has no article.

What's the location? Die Schule.

[uncut ember]

Sie muss in Schule gehen

[fair iron]

Keep going, Flappy. Is anything missing from that clause, or is it correct?

[ocean robin]

Gender please.

The noun is crying because its fellow gender isn't here.

And which one is it then? Nach or zu? 😛

[fair iron]

I think we've safely established that it's not nach. ^^

[thick charm]

what

oh

[fair iron]

It's late, I'm tired.

[thick charm]

I'll allow it

[fair iron]

As Flappy said, though, a word is still missing from that first clause.

[ocean robin]

Where's our pupil though? Ist er weggefloppt?

@uncut ember Woo, are you still in there?

[fair iron]

The best solution to being tired is some rest. Good night.

[thick charm]

yeah that sounds reasonable

take care!

[ocean robin]

See you Casca. Have sweet dreams.

[thick charm]

on that note

I feel like I should be off as well

[ocean robin]

Same.

[thick charm]

Gute Nacht!

[ocean robin]

See you Chuck.

[uncut ember]

@ocean robin im back

had to help my dad

[ocean robin]

Oh no problem.

Where were we? When we finish this I am off to sleep.

[uncut ember]

gender?

[ocean robin]

No, zu or nach first.

Which one?

[uncut ember]

zu

becauase schule has article

@ocean robin hello?

[ocean robin]

I am sorry, I must go to sleep. I am very very tired.

I will pin you tommorow when I'll be on.

the parentheses thingy seems very wrong

well my English is worse than my German

i dont't think there were any in the original text

No, but couldn't see what it could mean tbh

[hot cloak]

so I'm probably shouldn't check floppso

[ocean robin]

I am tired.

[opal sequoia]

The English in the first sentence should be fixed.

If the English matters.

[pine ginkgo]

yes

[ocean robin]

In 2015?

Yeeeeeah.

[pine ginkgo]

good base, keks geb

[opal sequoia]

Yeah, Flappy.

How could I forget this

[pine ginkgo]

because you are a flops

[sudden panther]

I'd love to live in the Free State of Memes and free real estate, Seska. 😍

[opal sequoia]

And I would put the "in 2015" at the start or the end, otherwise it's kinda of just breaking up the middle of the sentence randomly.

[ocean robin]

solet, don't remind me that

[opal sequoia]

But that's not so important.

[hot cloak]

she forgot that she is floppso

[ocean robin]

Wow. Okay let's correct that.

Okay, so let's move on, Arrem made me laugh so hard. And yup Base, that seems to be the exact translation.

[opal sequoia]

So what is the next part?

Figuring out the last bit that you didn't know?

[cold vessel]

Demoted to A2? 🤔

[sudden panther]

English A2.

[ocean robin]

😦

[sudden panther]

Now back to work. If you're good, I might bump it up to B1.

[ocean robin]

Please stop Arrem. My Englishing is at least B2.

[pine ginkgo]

if we do not look at the mistakes

[ocean robin]

What

Wait, are you serious right now? You think my English is B1?

If so, I must work on it then 🤔

[cold vessel]

[placid heath]

[sudden panther]

K.

So Floop. Work maybe?

[ocean robin]

Anywaaaay.

[sudden panther]

Yeeeeees?

[ocean robin]

Repost it there and I'll translate the other paragraph.

Okay let's go.

Guys, what the heck is "gewannen" here? 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

have a guess

[ocean robin]

oh good, because couldn't find it in dict.cc either

I wanted to say that it was the same as "gewonnen"

🤔

[cold vessel]

Well, did you look up the conjugation of that verb?

[ocean robin]

In 2014, Germany isn't only the football world champion, but also become the European champion. The juniors of the U19 national team won in the end of July the title in Hungary. In the finale they won with 1:0 against Portugal. The most goals of the tournament, namely 7, Davie Selke shot of Werder Bremen. (We could rephrase this one please, it sounds a little bit off lel)

[fair iron]

It is a little bit off. ^^

[ocean robin]

Yes. Yes.

How could we repharse it though? 🤔

[opal sequoia]

I don't understand the last.

[ocean robin]

Because we are talking about the last which is pure literal translation.

[pine ginkgo]

stop copying german word order into English word ordery flops

[ocean robin]

i am sorry lel

[fair iron]

The most goals of the tournament, namely 7, were shot by David Selke of Werder Bremen.

[opal sequoia]

Ohhh.

[ocean robin]

Oh passive.

True that. 🤔

[opal sequoia]

You don't have to do it in passive.

But anyway.

Check your first sentence again also Flappy.

[ocean robin]

First sentence? Oki dokie.

"Also become" 🤔

[fair iron]

When did this happen, Flappy?

[opal sequoia]

Yes. 🤔

[ocean robin]

I think it's because I sae the past participle and then it blew my mind a bit
"why the past participle here? Oh well let's just try in English too"
But we must use preterit in there?

[fair iron]

I'd use it.

You don't have to, but it sounds best.

[ocean robin]

But why is there a past participle in the German text? 🤔

[fair iron]

Because Germany won in 2014, which is in the past. ^^

[ocean robin]

Yeah, but I mean, this is the preterit there, why couldn't we just use Perfekt or something?

I am so confused 👀

[fair iron]

Germany not only <verb> champion, but also [...].

[ocean robin]

Oh okay.

I think I understood now. Thankies Casca. 👌

Let's move on and correct those 2 mistakes.

[opal sequoia]

There is also just that little mistake that you made the last time too, Flappy. It's not too incorrect but I can't help point it out, in the second sentence.

[ocean robin]

The same thing with "in the end of July"?

[opal sequoia]

Yeah.

You just want to be careful about separating the verb from the object. "won the title"

[ocean robin]

In 2014, Germany isn't only the football world champion, but also became the European champion. In the end of July, the juniors of the U19 national team won the title in Hungary. In the finale they won with 1:0 against Portugal. The most goals of the tournament, namely 7, were shot by Davie Selke of Werder Bremen.

Also, can't we say only "won 1:0 against Portugal"?

[fair iron]

You can. It sounds better, too.

[ocean robin]

And is it the last mistake? 🤔

[fair iron]

Your first sentence still uses the present tense.

Except you're talking about an event in the past.

I don't know about you, Base, but it sounds a little off to me.

[ocean robin]

You would use wasn't

But it's a fact, huh.

[hot cloak]

flappsy hast du geschafft?

[fair iron]

Look at the way I phrased it above.

[opal sequoia]

Oh yeah, I agree with the tense issue.

You could change it a few different ways, depending on what you want to say.

[ocean robin]

🤔

[opal sequoia]

Oh yeah, and the thing with the verb too.

[ocean robin]

The thing with the verb?

In 2014, Germany wasn't only the football world champion, but also became the European champion. In the end of July, the juniors of the U19 national team won the title in Hungary. In the finale they won 1:0 against Portugal. The most goals of the tournament, namely 7, were shot by Davie Selke of Werder Bremen. I only see that.

[fair iron]

with 1:0 is still there.

[ocean robin]

oh shoot

Note to self: stop doing literal translation thankies

[cold vessel]

Ulrike spricht nicht sehr viel Englisch, aber (sie spricht) fließend Französisch und Italienisch
Why not sondern?

[viscid cape]

Base how was the reading yesterday

[fair iron]

Where would you put the sondern, Henbruas?

[cold vessel]

Instead of aber

[fair iron]

That would work.

[viscid cape]

Sondern would imply that the hearer assumed he spoke Englisch

To my mind

[pine ginkgo]

eh.

[opal sequoia]

Mmm, I'm not sure how to explain well Flappy. To put it simply, you only really have one verb in the German whereas you've changed the structure in the English so that it's different. The English is fine, but just a bit different.

The reading was good, Kyrptik.

[ocean robin]

Mmmh.

[viscid cape]

Actually, I think sondern doesn't work here

The sentences need to be mutually incompatible for sondern

It's not the case here

What do you think Casca

Glad to hear @opal sequoia , Sorry for leaving earlier

It was fun 😄

[pine ginkgo]

sondern works

[opal sequoia]

Here is how I would have written it, Flappy: In 2014, Germany became not only the football world champion, but also the European champion.

[pine ginkgo]

though i would change the sentence a bit

to make it sound better

[ocean robin]

Oh yeah.

[opal sequoia]

See how it's just the one verb in the German now? "ist geworden"?

[cold vessel]

How would you rewrite it, Solet?

[opal sequoia]

But anyway, you should translate some more, Flappy!

Oh, thanks for reading with us @viscid cape ❤

[ocean robin]

But I want some EN -> GE naw.

[viscid cape]

@pine ginkgo Thanks for the correction

[pine ginkgo]

Sie spricht nicht viel Englisch, sondern (viel) Französisch und Italienisch

[viscid cape]

What I had in mind is that they'd have to be somewhat mutually exclusive

Ich bestelle nicht Kaffee, sondern Tee. Ich gehe fahre nach Hause, sondern zur Arbeit

[fair iron]

Think of sondern as but instead.

[viscid cape]

Yes, but 'instead' doesn't fit in this sentence... does it?

[fair iron]

She does not speak much English, but French and Italian instead.

If you separate it, it fits.

[opal sequoia]

Are you going to give Flappy some challenges today, Krptirk?

[viscid cape]

Hummm I see, thanks Casca

Yes I can do that Base

She's been neglecting me though

[opal sequoia]

Oh. 😦

[viscid cape]

[ocean robin]

😦

[cold vessel]

But both aber and sondern work in this case? How do I recognize if a sentence only works with sondern?

[viscid cape]

Flappo are your ready for your exercises dose

[ocean robin]

Yap yap.

[viscid cape]

1. Hunger drives the wolf out of the bush.

[ocean robin]

Wot are those sentences :^)

[pine ginkgo]

it's only one

[ocean robin]

Mmh, I am thinking about the "drives" here

Is it like "to drive someone mad" or is it an abomination I have just created?

[viscid cape]

No, I think it's not the same

[ocean robin]

Oh.

[cold vessel]

It's kinda like "forces"

[ocean robin]

But it's not fahren

[viscid cape]

Yeah, not fahren.

henbruas is right.

It's like, forcing you to do something.

or compelling you to do it

[pine ginkgo]

in the sense of german

eh

nvm

[ocean robin]

Is this even right? 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

well

you see the description

[tribal warren]

"push"

[pine ginkgo]

do you think it works

[ocean robin]

I don't know tbh

But seems like I thought in French. Shoot.

[tribal warren]

I'd try using a verb that's not exactly to drive out, but it has the same meaning in the sentence, I don't know if that's allowed for your exercise, though

[viscid cape]

The exercise is about prepositions

[cold vessel]

You like challenging her, that's for sure

[viscid cape]

So you need to use one

[tribal warren]

It would have one =p

[viscid cape]

@cold vessel

Then it's okay

I think the verb is relatively straightforward

[cold vessel]

Ehh, if it's the right one I've found it's not completely obvious

[ocean robin]

Preposition,hm.

[cold vessel]

Of course I might have found the entirely wrong one

[viscid cape]

I'll give you one more minute to think Floppo

After that henbruas can say what he thought of

[tribal warren]

She doesn't know the verb

I'm not sure I do too 😛

[viscid cape]

The verb is a translation of 'to drive'

[ocean robin]

🤔

[viscid cape]

It should be among the first

[tribal warren]

oh I know then

[viscid cape]

If you look it up

[ocean robin]

With a prep?

[viscid cape]

No, the preposition is for 'out of the bush'

[ocean robin]

Oooooh.

[viscid cape]

it even sounds like 'drive'

😂

[ocean robin]

Treiben? 🤔

[viscid cape]

Good.

[ocean robin]

idk

[tribal warren]

good job

[ocean robin]

oh wow what

[viscid cape]

Was that what you thought of @tight grail

[cold vessel]

Yes, but I found it in a pretty roundabout way

Also I didn't notice it sounded the same 🤔

[viscid cape]

They might have the same origin

anyway

Translate it now

[cold vessel]

Yep, they're cognates, Krypti

From PIE *dhreibh

[viscid cape]

that's pretty cool, I had never thought about that

[ocean robin]

NOOOO

[viscid cape]

[ocean robin]

Well I was pretty confident for this one..

Seems like I messed up cases

And wait, did I just assume that wolf was Nominative?

Is it Akk?

Ask yourself that question 😛

Try identifying the cases you need

Sorry I gotta have lunch now, keep trying Flops, Kryp is here

[ocean robin]

Pretty sure it's akk.

And see you.

[tribal warren]

Question though

If you're pretty sure it's akk., why didn't you use any? 🤔

[viscid cape]

^

[ocean robin]

Hunger treibt den Wolf aus dem Busch. ;___;

[viscid cape]

Good.

Did you understand why?

[ocean robin]

Yup. Hunger is nominative and hence the subject.

[viscid cape]

Good.

2. Laziness is the key to poverty.

[ocean robin]

Faulheit ist den Schlüssel der Armut. lol Schlüssel sounds so wrong

[viscid cape]

It's correct though 😂

[ocean robin]

what

[viscid cape]

Something is wrong, however

[ocean robin]

🤔

What is it?

[viscid cape]

Schlüssel der Armut translate that.

[ocean robin]

"To"

[viscid cape]

Yes.

[ocean robin]

Don't tell me it was zu D:

[opal sequoia]

No, it doesn't translate to "to".

[viscid cape]

You tell me

[ocean robin]

🤔

[tribal warren]

Schlüssel der Armut = to

[viscid cape]

@opal sequoia She meant 'to' is the wrong part

I think

[ocean robin]

I was doing to say "zur Armut"

[tribal warren]

Base-ado

[opal sequoia]

Nuh, Kyrptik.

[viscid cape]

Very good, my pupil

[ocean robin]

and then I was like "eh"

[tribal warren]

👏

[ocean robin]

OHHHH

[tribal warren]

Don't scream flops

[ocean robin]

Wait.

[tribal warren]

:p

[ocean robin]

I used genitive in there without noticing it.

Faulheit ist den Schlüssel zur Armut.

[tribal warren]

Ne

[viscid cape]

[ocean robin]

whai?

[tribal warren]

Cases

[ocean robin]

Huh?

[thick charm]

yup

[viscid cape]

Arrem was right, eng-ger exercises are more effective

[ocean robin]

But where whaaaaat

[viscid cape]

Hello Chucko

[tribal warren]

The sentence is pretty small, if you analyse word per word you'll find

[ocean robin]

[tribal warren]

Moin Chuck

[thick charm]

[tribal warren]

Chuck, we're on the Top of the Hot category in headlinesmasher =p

[thick charm]

I know! It's amazing

[tribal warren]

Mine got 12 votes 😄

[ocean robin]

wot could it be 👀

[tribal warren]

Can I give a general tip about cases?

Can I kryp?

[viscid cape]

Sure

[ocean robin]

I mean,laziness is Nominative, key is Akk and poverty is Dat

[tribal warren]

No specifically for this sentence, but in general

[thick charm]

right so what cases can 'to be' take in German?

[ocean robin]

To be?

[thick charm]

yeah

sein

what does that imply

[ocean robin]

oh jesus christ

[tribal warren]

When you don't know if a case is correct, check articles, flops

[ocean robin]

let me put that nominative

[thick charm]

<3

[viscid cape]

😂

[ocean robin]

Faulheit ist der Schlüssel zur Armut.

[tribal warren]

Like in the other one, it was treiben, you knew it was akk., but you used an article in the nominative form, so if you're questioning your cases, look up and the articles and see if they match what you're thinking

Kryptik you're getting really creative with sentences, applause.

[ocean robin]

^

[opal sequoia]

You are doing good translating too Flappy.

[ocean robin]

Thanks Base. ^^

[viscid cape]

whispers to Berg I'm translating them from a book

3. Passion is a grasping animal with sharp teeth.

[ocean robin]

👁u👁

Leidenschaft ist ein packendes Tier mit spitzen Zähnen.

[tribal warren]

Oh

[thick charm]

I like it

[tribal warren]

Kryptik du Verbrecher

[viscid cape]

@thick charm Does packen work here

[thick charm]

Just one thing, 'ergreifend' sounds better to me here rather than packend

It would

[ocean robin]

I liek it but mistakes

[thick charm]

don't think it's necessarily wrong

[ocean robin]

And grammar mistakes?

[thick charm]

none

[viscid cape]

Floppo do as master Chuck says

[ocean robin]

WHAT

oh god flops can actually di denclension

[pine ginkgo]

here we see a flops being happy about translating A1 sentences

[ocean robin]

:')

[pine ginkgo]

good jobs flops

[ocean robin]

lel

[viscid cape]

😂 It's not A1 come on

[pine ginkgo]

okay

[viscid cape]

it has partizip 1, prepositions, etc

[pine ginkgo]

A1.1 then

Alright

A1.8

[ocean robin]

Leidenschaft ist ein ergreifendes Tier mit spitzen Zähnen. like that?

[thick charm]

A(2-0.5)

[viscid cape]

Floppo rewrite it with ergreifen

Very good.

[thick charm]

Way ahead of you Krypto

[pine ginkgo]

rip krypti

[ocean robin]

Yusss. 🎉

[viscid cape]

[pine ginkgo]

get flopsed

[thick charm]

Krypto? More like Kryptslow

[ocean robin]

Wait.

Is there a flop?

[viscid cape]

D: Rood.

Is there?

You say it

[thick charm]

I don't see any

[ocean robin]

Good.

[viscid cape]

Chuck you bozo

4. I'm speaking of psyducks, you're speaking of geese.

[ocean robin]

"Bozo" what is this word

ooooooh my goood

[viscid cape]

Someone take over, I need to eat lunch, brb.

[ocean robin]

Ich spreche von Enten, du spricht von Gänsen. here :v

[thick charm]

almost

[ocean robin]

Aww.

[sudden panther]

The plural of Enton is Entons, silly Floop.

[ocean robin]

[sudden panther]

[thick charm]

you lost a letter on your way through that sentence

[pine ginkgo]

nein arrem

Enton

du shitter

[ocean robin]

1 letter? Jesus christ, only 1 letter.

Oh I see.

[sudden panther]

Hm.

[ocean robin]

Ich spreche von Enten, du sprichst von Gänsen.

[sudden panther]

One day we'll remove .

[ocean robin]

[thick charm]

'Ich rede über Enten, du redest über Gänse' would have worked as well if you were thinking about going with that instead

[ocean robin]

I was going with that first tbh

And then I checked dict.cc

[thick charm]

though technically

speak is sprechen and talk is reden

But they're pretty synonymous

[ocean robin]

Yep.

[thick charm]

At least in this case

[tribal warren]

They're beautiful

They're such pretty synonymous

:v

[ocean robin]

Can we give me another sentence? :3

[sudden panther]

Yes.

[thick charm]

How about

[tribal warren]

Berg is waiting for lunch but it just won't be ready

And is starving

[thick charm]

Chuck was extremely tired, so he decided to take a midday nap.

[tribal warren]

Arrem's got a good idea

[ocean robin]

OH

WHICH ONE FIRST

[tribal warren]

Flaps sentences is just a way of us complaining about Life

[ocean robin]

:(

[tribal warren]

Do the math

Math is always better

[ocean robin]

(3x-5)(3x-5)

🤔

[tribal warren]

😛

[pine ginkgo]

lul

[ocean robin]

Symbols Flops.

[tribal warren]

hahaha

Flops is a genius

[slender rain]

Cool. Math.

[sudden panther]

Chuck war extremlich reifig, so er entschlossen zu nehmen ein mitteltag kurzer Schlaf.

[ocean robin]

oh my god

[thick charm]

Reifig is my new favourite word

[ocean robin]

Arrem just created a masterpiece.

[opal sequoia]

I was actually thinking, a good challenge would be, every mistake Floppy makes in her German translation should mean 1 maths problem to solve before the next translation.

[ocean robin]

👀

how many will I have it

wow

[pine ginkgo]

how many will i have it

[opal sequoia]

None if you write the sentence perfectly. 😄

[tribal warren]

She'll become a math god

[ocean robin]

But actually that's a good idea. 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

how many will i have it

[ocean robin]

Why is the "it" there.

[ocean robin]

My English is bad lel

[tribal warren]

hahaha

[ocean robin]

Stop starring my flops

okay then

[tribal warren]

Stars that

[ocean robin]

Do whatever you want lel

[tribal warren]

You are the star in this show

[ocean robin]

[thick charm]

you are the shower, star

[tribal warren]

It's a comedy show, by the way

[ocean robin]

THERE IS ANOTHER FLOPS

[sudden panther]

Wow. Banned.

[ocean robin]

Wow that's harsh.

[pine ginkgo]

why are you insulting yourself, arrem

[thick charm]

Almost sounds like the real one though

[sudden panther]

ban @lament pecan

[thick charm]

I say we believe this new Flops

[ocean robin]

loooool

[sudden panther]

We kinda broke the ban command, so I needed to test a fix.

[tribal warren]

He was really banned whoa

[sudden panther]

So I decided to have some fun while i'm at it. :^)

[thick charm]

How do you break a ban command

[ocean robin]

That was soooooo harsh lool

[sudden panther]

0x1 memed it up a bit.

[thick charm]

Did your teacher tell you how to do that problem, Eine? 😄

[tribal warren]

We're all about 모

[ocean robin]

:thinking:

[thick charm]

[ocean robin]

ah

[opal sequoia]

I think Eine ignored me. 😔

[tribal warren]

Where is his legs

모

[thick charm]

My legs are in my pants

where they belong

[opal sequoia]

Okay, good work.

[pine ginkgo]

why do you have more than two legs

[tribal warren]

🤽 모

뮤 WHOOOOOA

[thick charm]

You already know it

Three natural ones and a replacement if one of them breaks.

[tribal warren]

Kryptik now you can add people to Flappy's cult

5. Man does not live by bread alone

[opal sequoia]

Oh, is Flappy not doing that maths?

[tribal warren]

Did you mean to use One?

Kryp

[opal sequoia]

I was hoping to see it.

[viscid cape]

Sorry Base, you can have a maths exercise before if you want

[tribal warren]

She did, it said "Expand (3x-5)²" and she wrote "(3x-5)(3x-5)"

[viscid cape]

@tribal warren What do you mean

[tribal warren]

[ocean robin]

[opal sequoia]

That's incorrect. 😄

[sudden panther]

Wow.

[tribal warren]

I thought the sentence was "One des not live by bread alone"

[ocean robin]

wat is it

[sudden panther]

Expand it out. Fully. Flopps.

[tribal warren]

Yea

[ocean robin]

oh I know

[tribal warren]

It isn't incorrect, it's equivalent, but it's not what the exercise asked xD

[sudden panther]

You have a fokken formula that does just that.

[viscid cape]

@tribal warren The one I'm translating from doesn't use 'one' 😄

[ocean robin]

9x^2 -30x + 25

[opal sequoia]

If it's not what the exercise asks for, in maths, it's incorrect, Berg.

[tribal warren]

@viscid cape I see

Yea I know what you mean

[sudden panther]

latex (a+b)^2=a^2+\int_0_\infty \int_0_\infty ab \mathrm da \mathrm db + 3 \pi b^2 + \frac a b

[viral thunder]

Rendering Latex failed. See help if you think this is a mistake.

[sudden panther]

fuck fof

[opal sequoia]

There is another fancy word for this we use: FOIL.

Do you guys have this one?

[ocean robin]

🤔

[tribal warren]

Foil?

[opal sequoia]

Yes.

[ocean robin]

What's that?

[opal sequoia]

First, outside, inside, last.

[sudden panther]

Or something like that.

[ocean robin]

wAt

[sudden panther]

I don't remember the tiny details.

[ocean robin]

🤔

[tribal warren]

double integrals

[ocean robin]

I don't know what they are and how to use them though.

[sudden panther]

That's a meme Flops.

Anyway yes, your answer is correct.

[ocean robin]

I could see that :^)

UGH FINALLY

[opal sequoia]

Now time for a German sentence.

[ocean robin]

Yus.

[sudden panther]

After that, we can try to do this one again. For the 3rd time.

[opal sequoia]

Yes.

Count how many mistakes you make, Flappy.

And we will see how it goes.

[ocean robin]

Now's beginning: Flops German and Math learning arc.

[tribal warren]

Base is mean

Basemeantality

[ocean robin]

lel

what did he do

[pine ginkgo]

base did nothing

bergi is just derping

[tribal warren]

I'm just memeing Base is great =p

Yea as usual

So 1 mistake = 1 math problem?

[viscid cape]

5. Man does not live by bread alone

[ocean robin]

How about we can do a^2 + b^2 fof (3x - 4)(3x + 4)?

🤔

[pine ginkgo]

do the sentence, flops

[tribal warren]

hahaha

[ocean robin]

Oh okay.

[opal sequoia]

Yeah, 1 mistake = 1 maths problem.

As long as it's a silly mistake and not just a hard thing to know.

[ocean robin]

Mann lebt nicht vom Brot allein. Looks like it's a meme. Or I dunno. Sounds weird as fok.

[tribal warren]

How many will it be? I wonder

[ocean robin]

🤔

[viscid cape]

1 maths problem

😏

[ocean robin]

[viscid cape]

Can you spot your mistake

[pine ginkgo]

i would say two

[ocean robin]

Only 1?

oh shiet

[pine ginkgo]

but i defer to you, krypti

[ocean robin]

Nicht placement?

[viscid cape]

Solet you can help too 😄

[ocean robin]

👀

[pine ginkgo]

nah

[ocean robin]

Good.

[viscid cape]

It's a vocabulary mistake

[pine ginkgo]

actually, i correct myself

it's one mistake

the other one is... stylistic

[viscid cape]

😂

[ocean robin]

Is it allein?

[viscid cape]

No

[ocean robin]

🤔

I don't know what it could be then.

[sudden panther]

a^2 + b^2
ONE DAY. Flops will learn that it's a^2 - b^2.

[ocean robin]

[viscid cape]

Floppo what does Mann mean

[ocean robin]

BUT WHEN IS IT THE OPPOSITE

Oh. Oh.

You want me to use Mensch?

🤔

[sudden panther]

BUT WHEN IS IT THE OPPOSITE
Always? a^2 + b^2 is just a^2 + b^2. You can't do anything to it.
a^2 - b^2 is (a-b)(a+b) however.

[viscid cape]

What's the difference between Mann and Mensch

[ocean robin]

No, I mean Arrem, between (a + b)(a - b) and the opposite one, is it always a^2 - b^2?

Uh, I have no idea Krypti, except that Mann can also mean "husband"

🤔

[pine ginkgo]

who does "Man"

in the english sentence refer to, flops

[ocean robin]

Uh, well a man, a male person? Or the man as the human race?

🤔

[pine ginkgo]

well

what do you think makes sense

[ocean robin]

The second one.

[pine ginkgo]

now fix it

[ocean robin]

Mensch lebt nicht vom Brot allein.

What's the 2nd mistake?

[pine ginkgo]

forget the 2nd mistake

you still have to fix the first

and where is krypti

[ocean robin]

Didn't he go to lunch?

@viscid cape where are you yer teacher 🤔

[viscid cape]

I'm here, was getting fruits

[ocean robin]

Oh hello back.

[viscid cape]

It's good Floppo. But German would use a definite article there.

I think

Solet?

[ocean robin]

I thought about that ;____;

[viscid cape]

Add it, then

[ocean robin]

Der Mensch lebt nicht vom Brot allein.

[viscid cape]

very good, pupil.

[ocean robin]

Now. Math time.

[slender rain]

Would man not work? Sorry to interrupt.

[ocean robin]

Nope.

As I said earlier:

[pine ginkgo]

Man would work

[ocean robin]

Wot.

I am confused

[viscid cape]

No, you are confusion

[ocean robin]

ye

[viscid cape]

Man would work, but I think the original has specifically human beings in mind.

So Mensch would be the best choice.

Flops you said 'Mann', not 'man'

[pine ginkgo]

or Menschheit

[ocean robin]

Oh, man.

[slender rain]

Okay. So if it said "One cannot live by bread alone", then man could be good? Or is Mensch always better?

[pine ginkgo]

both work

[viscid cape]

Yes, then man would be the appropriate choice

[pine ginkgo]

i'd rather use man tho

[slender rain]

K thanks. You were both v helpful.

[pine ginkgo]

if you want to sound a bit more philosophical

you can use Ein Mensch

[viscid cape]

"Fortna notes that the word usually translated as man would more accurately be replaced by human beings as in the original Greek it is gender neutral.[7]"

it's probably anthropos in the original

Man is just a grammatical device to make a passive sentence an active one

[pine ginkgo]

@sudden panther @opal sequoia your turn

[viscid cape]

it's slightly different

Es wird nicht vom Brot allein gelebt.
Der Mensch lebt nicht vom Brot allein.

They're different to my mind

🤔

[opal sequoia]

Oh, I'm about to go to sleep. 😮

[viscid cape]

Base

Who's gonna teach Floppo if you go

😢

[opal sequoia]

Arrem is a good maths teacher. 😄

Okay, let me see. I'll give one problem.

[viscid cape]

Arrem flops often weg.

[ocean robin]

lel

[pine ginkgo]

wat

[ocean robin]

Arrem flopt oft weg.

🤔

[viscid cape]

Not even I know what I just wrote

[opal sequoia]

3x^2-13x+4

Factorize this.

[ocean robin]

How can we factorize this? There isn't even a common factor!

And (a - b)^2 doesn't work either.

[opal sequoia]

Hmm, you didn't learn how to do those yet?

[ocean robin]

Which ones?

[opal sequoia]

How to factorize that kind of equation.

[ocean robin]

Well I don't see the solution at all.

Thought first it was (a - b)^2 but it isn't

🤔

[opal sequoia]

True.

[slender rain]

lol

[ocean robin]

Wait, were you thinking about that, Base?

[opal sequoia]

Okay, try expanding this instead: (3x-1)(x-4)

[ocean robin]

3x × x + 3x × 4 -1 × x -1 × 4

which is whem simplifed:

[pine ginkgo]

this looks terrifying

[opal sequoia]

Flappy, you should use brackets instead of x for multiplications.

[ocean robin]

3x^2 + 12x -1x^2 - 4

[opal sequoia]

Since you are in high school now, x for multiplication shouldn't be a thing.
