Wir haben auf dem Mond zu gehen auserkoren und machen die andere Dinge in diesem Jahrzehn, weil sie einfach nicht sind, aber weil die hart/schwer sind. cases

Oh.

The heck?

[fair iron]

Bonus points for the attempted use of auserkoren.

[shy bobcat]

i love auserkoren 😍

[ocean robin]

thanks

[dire sentinel]

🙃

[shy bobcat]

nicht placement tho 😢

[ocean robin]

:'(

How many flops?

[shy bobcat]

umm

let's see

[ocean robin]

I can already see one wait

[shy bobcat]

the original sentence is the quote from the one president right

[fair iron]

Shouldn't you know JFK, Arizona? 🤔

[ocean robin]

Wir haben auf dem Mond zu gehen auserkoren und machen die andere Dinge in diesem Jahrzehn, weil sie nicht einfach sind, aber weil die hart/schwer sind. there for the nicht?

🤔

[shy bobcat]

I should but honestly

didn't want to look stupid by saying the wrong president

[dire sentinel]

wo es Liebe gibt, gibt es Leben

[shy bobcat]

so I just didn't say anything

[lost dagger]

JFK the moonman

[dire sentinel]

if that's not right i'm out of ideas

[pine ginkgo]

how the heck did you get to auserkoren though

[dire sentinel]

dabs irl

[ocean robin]

dict.cc boi, first word which appeared

:^)

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo sie hat's auserkoren, weil sie es mochte

wait wut

[pine ginkgo]

can you please show me

[ocean robin]

And I was like "oh nice"

[fair iron]

It's a nice word, Flappy, but I'd suggest swapping it out. ^^

[pine ginkgo]

how you searched for it?

[shy bobcat]

dict.cc shows auserkoren as the first word

[lost dagger]

she searched "auserkoren"

[pine ginkgo]

i am really interested how you find this as the first result

[pine ginkgo]

...

hahaha

[shy bobcat]

nice

[pine ginkgo]

why did you search for chosen

[fair iron]

^

[ocean robin]

idk tbh should've seached for "choose" first

[red pewter]

In drei Worten, ich kann alles ich habe über Leben gelernt sagen: es macht weiter (just fuck me up)

[pine ginkgo]

yeah

but how

[fair iron]

I can't find auserkoren unless I scroll. I can find erkiesen, though, interestingly enough.

[shy bobcat]

Is the original quote not "we have chosen...."? I don't know my quotes 😩

[ocean robin]

LOL

[pine ginkgo]

did you come to search for chosen

[ocean robin]

yep

[fair iron]

No, Arizona.

[pine ginkgo]

but how

[fair iron]

As Henbruas pointed out, it's present tense.

I just can't type today. 😅

[shy bobcat]

IDK, I back translated from flops a bit

[pine ginkgo]

what in your mind made you search for chosen instead of to choose

[shy bobcat]

lel

[ocean robin]

But you put present perfect, Casca :^(

[shy bobcat]

😮

[ocean robin]

Or wait no

[shy bobcat]

oh

[ocean robin]

Preterit

[shy bobcat]

lel

[ocean robin]

"We chose"

[lost dagger]

en=Infinitiv duh

[pine ginkgo]

We choose to go the moon and do the other things in this decade, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.

[shy bobcat]

Casca made a typo?

[pine ginkgo]

where

[ocean robin]

yap

[fair iron]

Flappy, you are aware that I corrected that, yes?

[pine ginkgo]

is present perfect

[cold vessel]

Das einzige Dinge, das notwendig für den Triumph des Bösen ist, ist, dass gute Mennschen nichts machen.

ist, ist, dass seems suuuuper awkward

[fair iron]

@shy bobcat A few, in fact. It's not my day today.

[shy bobcat]

People making typos? Unthinkable 😮 😱

[ocean robin]

Yeah Casca, but I saw it after posting my answer

[shy bobcat]

😉

[pine ginkgo]

henbri, what is Dinge

flops

[cold vessel]

One of a billion possible translations of "thing" 👀

[pine ginkgo]

i dont believe you

[cold vessel]

Wait

wut

[ocean robin]

I promise

[pine ginkgo]

look it up again

flops

please always search for the infinitive first

[cold vessel]

Das einzige Ding, das notwendig für den Triumph des Bösen ist, ist, dass gute Mennschen nichts machen.

[twilit garden]

it is one possible declination if that helps you

[red pewter]

i've seen "das Ding"

[pine ginkgo]

Dinge is plural

[cold vessel]

"Infinitive"? 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

you cheater

[twilit garden]

Solet meant nominative

[shy bobcat]

Been meaning to ask, what's the distribution of "Dinge" vs. "Dinger"

[pine ginkgo]

no

i talked to flops

[shy bobcat]

as te plural of Ding

[pine ginkgo]

indicated

by the flops

before the sentence

[ocean robin]

I am confusion.

[cold vessel]

Ok so what other mistakes are there?

[shy bobcat]

I am confusion as well

[pine ginkgo]

well

[red pewter]

Bell: In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. In drei Worten, ich kann alles ich habe über Leben gelernt sagen: es macht weiter (in case someone who didn't give me the quote wants to help)

[pine ginkgo]

well

[twilit garden]

"Mennschen" has a typo

[fair iron]

^

[pine ginkgo]

i wonder which typo

[fair iron]

^^

[pine ginkgo]

word order bell

as usual

[hot cloak]

kann ich

[red pewter]

😦

[ocean robin]

Bell, how many conjugated verbs has a clause?

[red pewter]

i really struggle with that

[ocean robin]

Dan Baniel.

[fair iron]

What happens to the verb and pronoun in the second clause, Bell?

[hot cloak]

oh wait was I not supposed to say that

[ocean robin]

yes you weren't

[red pewter]

is this another V2?

[hot cloak]

shit

[ocean robin]

[red pewter]

okay someone just tell me again: when do you push it to the end and when do you switch the verb and noun? I will write it down I promise

[cold vessel]

Ok, so "Menschen". But what about like the sentence structure? It feels weird

[sudden panther]

weil sie einfach nicht sind
When do we ban her?

[ocean robin]

I am sorry 😦

[lost dagger]

they just AREN'T Arrem is that too hard to understand?

[shy bobcat]

@sudden panther das können wir nicht tun, weil ihre Deutschkenntnisse einfach nicht sind

[hot cloak]

@red pewter [in drei Worten] is what you've set as the first 'part' or 'idea' in your sentence

that's the first part

so verb comes second

[ocean robin]

Still, how many flops in my sentence?

[red pewter]

so if there's any fluff, verb next. but if it's a dependent clause, verb end?

[shy bobcat]

please repost, too lazy to scroll up

@ocean robin

[red pewter]

i just want to make sure.

[sudden panther]

Still, how many flops in my sentence?
9

[ocean robin]

NINE?

[twilit garden]

Nein.

[shy bobcat]

Nein, neun

[sudden panther]

Nah, I just made up a random number, I'm too lazy to scroll too.

[shy bobcat]

lel

[hot cloak]

I didn't really learn the in depths about clauses

I learned about them a while ago

[red pewter]

Bell: In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. In drei Worten, kann ich alles ich habe über Leben gelernt sagen: es macht weiter

[ocean robin]

I was scared Arrem ;___;

[sudden panther]

It's actually 11.

[hot cloak]

remembered what I needed to know and then left so I don't have the practical knowledge anymore

[ocean robin]

Wir haben auf dem Mond zu gehen auserkoren und machen die andere Dinge in diesem Jahrzehn, weil sie nicht einfach sind, aber weil die hart/schwer sind. count the nicht mistake as well

pfft Arrem

[shy bobcat]

ok

right

[lost dagger]

ceebee u need more wörds

[pine ginkgo]

stop using auserkoren flops

[ocean robin]

oh yeah

[twilit garden]

I'm too lazy to scroll

Arrem irl:

[shy bobcat]

I count 4, but maybe there's more

[hot cloak]

so cbell you might want to use more clauses

[cold vessel]

Das einzige Ding, das notwendig für den Triumph des Bösen ist, ist, dass gute Menschen nichts machen.

So. Sentence structure. How is it?

[red pewter]

more commas?

[fair iron]

Does scroll lock even do anything at this point?

[sudden panther]

WIR HABEN AUFM MOND ZUNG GEHEN AUSERKOREN!!!!!!111111ELF

[ocean robin]

4? Oh wow.

[hot cloak]

yep

[quasi merlin]

What does scroll lock even do?

[ocean robin]

YEAH

[red pewter]

okay, thank you

[ocean robin]

"Aufm" best word

[twilit garden]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oabs2NUfZsU

[shy bobcat]

oh actually 5, two flops revolve around the same word lel

[ocean robin]

[hot cloak]

Flöps

[shy bobcat]

first flop: no más auserkoren por favor

[hot cloak]

it means auf einem

[twilit garden]

i actually use it if i have push-to-talk activated

[shy bobcat]

@hot cloak no, auf dem

[red pewter]

Bell: In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. In drei Worten, ich kann alles sagen, habe ich über Leben gelernt : es macht weiter

[ocean robin]

Daniel, you really say aufm? That's a meme.

[pine ginkgo]

scroll lock is nice since it's one of the few toggle keys on the keyboard

[fair iron]

Nemo gives purpose. ❤

[pine ginkgo]

aufm is not a meme

[hot cloak]

I think a lot of people say it

[ocean robin]

What.

[pine ginkgo]

yes

[lost dagger]

Ich gehe jeden Tag auf dem Mond 🌙 🏃

[ocean robin]

[pine ginkgo]

can you stop calling everything a meme flops

[ocean robin]

Oh wow TIL.

[hot cloak]

wait

[red pewter]

okay but now i want to put ich über Leben habe gelernt because dependent clause

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo this is about as bad as her kappas

[hot cloak]

auf nem is the one I'm thinking of

[pine ginkgo]

yes

[ocean robin]

I thought it didn't exist

[red pewter]

but i am genuinely confused

[pine ginkgo]

none of the words she ever said was a meme

was ever a meme

so please stop

[ocean robin]

I am sorry

[shy bobcat]

Can we please go back to correcting flöpsl's sentence 😩

[fair iron]

Getting close, Bell.

[cold vessel]

What about mine 😥

[ocean robin]

Too many pupils 👀

[shy bobcat]

yours too, but flöp is famous here

[red pewter]

yay! how else can i improve

[fair iron]

Since it might not seem too obvious, I'll just mention it. Use a was in that clause.

[shy bobcat]

Wir haben auf dem Mond zu gehen auserkoren und machen die andere Dinge in diesem Jahrzehn, weil sie nicht einfach sind, aber weil die hart/schwer sind.

as I said, first mistake, pls get rid of auserkoren

[ocean robin]

sure

[hot cloak]

maybe

[fair iron]

All I learnt about [...] -> All that I learnt about [...]

[hot cloak]

alles, was ich ...

[red pewter]

okay

[shy bobcat]

and fix the tense as well @ocean robin

[lost dagger]

about __

[ocean robin]

What verb should I use though?

[hot cloak]

just as a tip might work

[sudden panther]

deciden

[shy bobcat]

whatever verb you use, put it in the present tense

[ocean robin]

wow Arrem

[shy bobcat]

@sudden panther

[lost dagger]

Use auserkiesen

[shy bobcat]

@lost dagger 👀

[sudden panther]

Auserkiesen is a great verb.

You should definitely use it.

[shy bobcat]

Flop, look up "to choose" in dict.cc

[hot cloak]

when there is a need to define what alles is basically

[ocean robin]

Aussuchen. There.

[red pewter]

Bell: In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. In drei Worten, ich kann alles sagen, habe ich was über Leben gelernt : es macht weiter

[lost dagger]

I remember someone posting on /r/German about how it was a terrible verb and shouldn't exist

[hot cloak]

it's usually alles, was..

[red pewter]

ah okay

sorry i missed your note

[sudden panther]

Lol. No.

[hot cloak]

everything, that..

[shy bobcat]

who was the "Lol. No." meant for

[pine ginkgo]

for snekku

[shy bobcat]

oh

I thought it was for füchsl tbh bc I don't think "aussuchen" is the right word either 😛

[sudden panther]

It was meant for Floppsel.

[pine ginkgo]

oh

[shy bobcat]

oh

[pine ginkgo]

oh

[shy bobcat]

yeah lol

[quasi merlin]

oh

[ocean robin]

wat

[pine ginkgo]

wat

oh

yeah

makes sense too

🤔

[shy bobcat]

aussuchen

[ocean robin]

[viscid cape]

Why is it not right?

[ocean robin]

i saw that

[red pewter]

Bell: In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. In drei Worten, ich kann sagen alles, was ich über Leben habe gelernt : es macht weiter

[ocean robin]

but no

[red pewter]

i might have just missed the mark further

[sudden panther]

Because you such yourself a shirt aus. But you don't aussuchen to go to the moon.

[lost dagger]

Ok maybe I misremembered but I thought it was erkiesen

[pine ginkgo]

technically, if you modifiy it... you can use aussuchen

[red pewter]

oops

[pine ginkgo]

but i don't think flops will come to this

[red pewter]

i missed the wrong one

[pine ginkgo]

so no

[red pewter]

In drei Worten, ikann ich sagen alles, was ich über Leben habe gelernt : es macht weiter

[viscid cape]

Oh so you mean decide, not choose 🤔

[fair iron]

Syntax is still the biggest issue, Bell.

[ocean robin]

"She can't, because she flops everytime"

[pine ginkgo]

no

[red pewter]

i'm struggling.

[pine ginkgo]

because your german is not good enough

don't worry about this, flops

[ocean robin]

sich entscheiden? 🤔

[fair iron]

[...], kann ich sagen alles, [...] is still jumbled a little.

[ocean robin]

Found that for "decide"

[pine ginkgo]

why don't you just stay with choose

and look at the other verbs

[sudden panther]

dezidieren

[lost dagger]

decide on something floops

[ocean robin]

Huh?

[pine ginkgo]

though sich entscheiden works

[shy bobcat]

eine (oder auch mehrere) Alternativen aus einer Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten wählen
I just feel like aussuchen doesn't have the right sense to it to translate the sentence, but if you say so luna

[ocean robin]

So we stay at choose?

[sudden panther]

dezidieren is an actual word by the way.

[red pewter]

I think that kann ich alles sagen sounds better if i'm gonna do that

[pine ginkgo]

so i guess before it's get too messy

[ocean robin]

lol what

[pine ginkgo]

just use sich entscheiden

[red pewter]

but then i can't get alles at the end for daniel's tip

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo before it gets* 😉

[sudden panther]

Prepare for wir entscheiden sich

[ocean robin]

wtf

[shy bobcat]

😖

no arrem

pls

[fair iron]

I didn't see Daniel's tip, so I don't understand it.

[pine ginkgo]

thanks teeeis

[red pewter]

Bell: In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. In drei Worten, kann ich alles sagen, was ich über Leben habe gelernt : es macht weiter

[pine ginkgo]

idk

[shy bobcat]

nvm

[red pewter]

we have, i just keep copy/pasting the wrong one

[fair iron]

On to the last clause (before the colon).

[pine ginkgo]

i thought we were past it 🤔

[ocean robin]

Wir entscheiden uns auf dem Mond zu gehen und machen die andere Dinge in diesem Jahrzehn, weil sie nicht einfach sind, aber weil die hart/schwer sind. dat?

[shy bobcat]

tho comma 👀

[pine ginkgo]

oh no bell :(

[sudden panther]

Am I a meme or is there an extra comma in there?

[fair iron]

Leben needs an article, Bell.

[lost dagger]

at the befginning?

[sudden panther]

At the snekkining.

[red pewter]

das Leben?

[shy bobcat]

I think auf dem Mond zu gehen is wrong also

that sounds like 'to walk on the moon'

[ocean robin]

b-but

[shy bobcat]

idk what the original quote says

but iirc

not that

[pine ginkgo]

We choose to go to the moon and do the other things in this decade, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.

[sudden panther]

It's a Kennedy quote.

[fair iron]

We choose to go the moon [...]

[ocean robin]

What would you say for "to go" then?

[red pewter]

Bell: In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. In drei Worten, kann ich alles sagen, was ich über das Leben habe gelernt : es macht weiter

[fair iron]

Solet was quicker. ^^

[lost dagger]

the original quote was from a Nike ad campaign

[shy bobcat]

@sudden panther yes IK, but I don't have it memorised

[ocean robin]

Gehen is the only thing I can think of.

[pine ginkgo]

you forgot your correction in your quote, casca

:D

[fair iron]

The syntax after das Leben is wrong.

[sudden panther]

I'm revoking your Americaning permit,Ari. Sorry.

[shy bobcat]

@sudden panther 😦

[ocean robin]

And der Mond is Dative, since it's a location.

I think?

[pine ginkgo]

really

[ocean robin]

or wair

I said nothing

[lost dagger]

it's not whether or not it's a location that makes it dative

[shy bobcat]

gehen is not the issue, i don't think

[sudden panther]

Fan Blöpsel.

[ocean robin]

You're actually going to the moon

[red pewter]

is putting it back to was habe ich....gelernt better?

[sudden panther]

It's whether it's dative or not that makes it dative.

[ocean robin]

I am way too confused about those rules for Akk and Dat x.x

[shy bobcat]

helpful as ever

[lost dagger]

Taco Bell gelernt isn't the last word

[fair iron]

Only the part after das Leben was wrong, Bell. ^^

[ocean robin]

So if you're staying, it's Dat, and if you're are going somewhere, it's Akk

Let me put "auf dem Mond" then?

[sudden panther]

Ban.

[pine ginkgo]

you did

so

[ocean robin]

wat phone

[pine ginkgo]

don't

[ocean robin]

*den

I hate my phone uuugh

[sudden panther]

So how come we use zu with dative then if it's movement, Floop???!

[quasi merlin]

It's Dat. if you use any random verb and specify the location you're at.

[red pewter]

i don't know why it's wrong O_O

[pine ginkgo]

btw flopsel

you learned about prepositions for this earlier

from foxxo

[ocean robin]

but we need zu for this one

[red pewter]

ich habe gelernt is I have learned, I don't know how to fix it

[ocean robin]

Not nach 🤔

and oh yeah

[pine ginkgo]

and you used neither

[sudden panther]

Maybe the moon is a country.

[ocean robin]

Why did I say "on the moon"?

[hot cloak]

@shy bobcat By the way, I was right about aufm being auf einem too

[ocean robin]

I am crazy sometimes

[sudden panther]

sometimes

[pine ginkgo]

"sometimes"

[shy bobcat]

@hot cloak oh nice

[lost dagger]

If you're a verb, when you wake up from a coma you want to get as far away from that comma as you can

[ocean robin]

Wir entscheiden uns zu den Mond zu gehen und machen die andere Dinge in diesem Jahrzehn, weil sie nicht einfach sind, aber weil die hart/schwer sind.

[sudden panther]

Bad Casca. The comma has nothing to do with it. Aber has a comma too. 😛

[shy bobcat]

ZU DEN

[pine ginkgo]

ban flops

[ocean robin]

Oh jesus.

[pine ginkgo]

flopsel

[sudden panther]

Flops. I literally asked you a question about zu a minute ago.

[pine ginkgo]

do me a favour

[ocean robin]

Zu+Akk now bois

[pine ginkgo]

when you correct a mistake

can you asgagegzaetgaega read over it again

and check you actually did it correctly

[fair iron]

I can't just say c'est la vie, Arrem.

[ocean robin]

I'll try :')

[hot cloak]

wait

so is aufm used for auf einem just as much as auf dem

[ocean robin]

Wir entscheiden uns zum Mond zu gehen und machen die andere Dinge in diesem Jahrzehn, weil sie nicht einfach sind, aber weil die hart/schwer sind. okay

[red pewter]

Bell: In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. In drei Worten, kann ich alles sagen, was ich über das Leben gelernt habe : es macht weiter

[pine ginkgo]

aufm is only colloquial

daniel

[sudden panther]

Well, blame the Relativpronomen, not the comma. 😛

[hot cloak]

I know it's a shortening

[fair iron]

das has vanished. 🤔

[hot cloak]

but do people say it meaning both

possibly

[pine ginkgo]

no

oh

[hot cloak]

I don't mean that I mean

[pine ginkgo]

yeah

sorry

[hot cloak]

yeah

[red pewter]

Bell: In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. In drei Worten, kann ich alles sagen, was ich über das Leben gelernt habe : es macht weiter

i'm so sorry

[pine ginkgo]

it's mostly used for auf dem

[fair iron]

Only one mistake left!

[red pewter]

I need to make sure I'm looking at my last version

(thank you snuk)

[ocean robin]

And me? And me?

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin die andere Dinge 🤔

[hot cloak]

how would people usually shorten auf einem then

[pine ginkgo]

but if you ... speak "unclear" it can also sound like you say auf einem

[ocean robin]

[fair iron]

zu machen is the wrong verb.

[hot cloak]

or do they not

[pine ginkgo]

auf nem

[lost dagger]

auf nem

[ocean robin]

Well I thought that meant "the other things:

[hot cloak]

Ah what I thought

Oki ty

[fair iron]

[...] it goes on, Bell.

[ocean robin]

Unless there's a better word for that?

[sudden panther]

es spazierengeht weiter.

[ocean robin]

^

[red pewter]

okay, so "it continues" isn't an appropriate translation

[pine ginkgo]

uhm

casca

question

[sudden panther]

Remember when I got you to use spazieren gehen, Flops? :^)

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin not the problem, as ever

[red pewter]

let me rethink it

[shy bobcat]

grammar

[pine ginkgo]

We choose to go to the moon and do the other things in this decade, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.

[ocean robin]

yeeeah arrem

[pine ginkgo]

is the "the" for other things... really there?

[ocean robin]

The problem is cases?

[fair iron]

It is, Solet.

[pine ginkgo]

huh

understandable

but sounds odd

[shy bobcat]

nah, not really IMO

🤷🏼

[ocean robin]

Because those other things are specified I think, Solet.

[fair iron]

He's specifically addressing certain other things.

[sudden panther]

Look at Ari being the bully now.

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin die andere Dinge, do you see the issue

[fair iron]

Which is why the the is there.

[pine ginkgo]

yeah

[sudden panther]

Floop never sees the issue.

[pine ginkgo]

but you don't need it

[ocean robin]

don't tell me it's *anderen

plox

[sudden panther]

We won't. Check the table and tell us.

[shy bobcat]

^^

[ocean robin]

i thought my declination was right

Also what is my phone doing

[shy bobcat]

do less "thought" and more "checked that"

[cold vessel]

I'm just going to plug this again: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jWl5-kkqF3FQLDzrz8XLBJj7hvPFQK7MT5SYEDGK65E/edit

[shy bobcat]

[sudden panther]

But Ariiii! Checking things requires actual effort! Who has time for thaat these days.

[shy bobcat]

insert Dr. Flop story

[red pewter]

Bell: In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. In drei Worten, kann ich alles sagen, was ich über das Leben gelernt habe : es dauert an

[ocean robin]

It's -en ;___;

[cold vessel]

Imagine how much time she would save if she learned it instead 😬

[pine ginkgo]

also bell, can you tell me why there is a comma at the beginning

[ocean robin]

I learnt it a bit, henbri

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo i can already tell you the answer is "because the english had one" 😬

[red pewter]

because I'm a native english speaker and I suck 😄

[ocean robin]

At least for weak, I guess?

[pine ginkgo]

stop sucking bell

[ocean robin]

wow

[red pewter]

okay luna, just for you

[shy bobcat]

😄

[pine ginkgo]

thanks

[hot cloak]

I feel ya cbell

[pine ginkgo]

appreciated

[red pewter]

Bell: In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. In drei Worten kann ich alles sagen, was ich über das Leben gelernt habe : es dauert an

[hot cloak]

English sucks

[ocean robin]

Wir entscheiden uns zum Mond zu gehen und machen die anderen Dinge in diesem Jahrzehn, weil sie nicht einfach sind, aber weil die hart/schwer sind.

Next? 😛

[shy bobcat]

why do you switch from "sie" to "die"

[hot cloak]

kann ich sagen, alles was..

try that maybe

[lost dagger]

bad dadniel

[shy bobcat]

between "weil sie nicht einfach sind" and "aber weil die hart/schwer sind"

[pine ginkgo]

also check for typos, please, flops

[ocean robin]

That was a fokken typo

[pine ginkgo]

no

check for the other typo

that you haven't touched

[ocean robin]

it was I swear

[red pewter]

Bell: In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. In drei Worten kann ich sagen, alles was ich über das Leben gelernt habe : es dauert an

[sudden panther]

When do we fan Bloop?

[ocean robin]

Another one? Hdhedf seriously?

[pine ginkgo]

yes

[shy bobcat]

Die Beschaffenheit der Solaranlage können wir nicht checken, weil sie einfach nicht ist.

[pine ginkgo]

please check

every word

[fair iron]

Don't fix things that aren't broken, Daniel. ^^

[hot cloak]

I shouldn't be trying to help here my German sucks

[shy bobcat]

😦

[pine ginkgo]

you can daniel

[shy bobcat]

I mean I shouldn't either then

[pine ginkgo]

you just have to be confident

Bell: In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. In drei Worten kann ich alles sagen, was ich über das Leben gelernt habe : es dauert an :?

[pine ginkgo]

flops found a typo

[shy bobcat]

😄

[pine ginkgo]

after we told her

holy shit

[shy bobcat]

😄

[ocean robin]

ugh that hurts :(

[pine ginkgo]

PROGRESS

[shy bobcat]

oh wait

[hot cloak]

yeah the original sounds fine

I'm trying too hard to find mistakes and fuck up

lol

[red pewter]

do I get a checkmark :?

[quasi merlin]

Who's teaching bell here? She broke her sentence and nobody stops her.

[pine ginkgo]

anyway, word order, flops

[shy bobcat]

I feel like the nicht should be moved and aber should be replaced but idk my german is not good

and i'm tired

those two go hand in hand really

[hot cloak]

man

[shy bobcat]

my german sucks when I'm tired

😄

[hot cloak]

I dunno that alles still feels bad to me

[pine ginkgo]

casca 😦

[hot cloak]

Don't trust me though

wrong 50% of the time

[lost dagger]

alles feels bad to me daniel too but I cope

[pine ginkgo]

look at the original sentence, flops

[shy bobcat]

mein Deutsch saugt wann ich bin müden

[red pewter]

D:

i'm sorry

[ocean robin]

Word order? Nicht placement?

[hot cloak]

lol

[shy bobcat]

don't take that seriously

[pine ginkgo]

well

yes

[quasi merlin]

Yes, Flops.

[ocean robin]

lol knew it

[red pewter]

if it's not fixed please help me fix it ❤

[hot cloak]

I'd say maybe

[pine ginkgo]

the nicht placement is different in the english one too

so... that's a huge clue for you

[shy bobcat]

yeah, your weil sie nicht einfach sind means "because they are not easy", the original says IIRC "not because they are easy"

[fair iron]

Remember what you had before, Bell? es macht weiter. Only the verb really needed changing, the rest was fine.
[...] it goes on.

[ocean robin]

mh

weil sie einfach nicht sind?

idk

[fair iron]

No.

[shy bobcat]

Oh my god

[lost dagger]

that's what you had before

[ocean robin]

🤔

[shy bobcat]

we've gone backwards

[ocean robin]

oh

[pine ginkgo]

flops

look at the english sentence

[shy bobcat]

where is not

[pine ginkgo]

the placement is very peculiar

[ocean robin]

Nicht weil?

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo well it's not at all peculiar if she recognised the structure being used 👀

[ocean robin]

Wat wat

[hot cloak]

"Ich kann sagen, alles was ich über das Leben gelernt habe, in drei Worten erklären: "
is maybe what I'd say but I'm bad

[pine ginkgo]

well, she didn't

so

:D

[shy bobcat]

yeh

😄

[red pewter]

Bell: In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. In drei Worten kann ich alles sagen, was ich über das Leben gelernt habe : es geht weiter :?

[ocean robin]

nicht weil [...] guys?

[red pewter]

yay!!! ❤

[quasi merlin]

weil sie einfach nicht sind means something like because they just don't exist

[ocean robin]

🤔

[shy bobcat]

yeah

[ocean robin]

They don't exist?

[pine ginkgo]

you have to

be careful about your nicht placement

always

[shy bobcat]

as I memed earlier: Die Beschaffenheiten der Solaranlage können wir nicht überprüfen, weil sie einfach nicht sind

[ocean robin]

I try 😢

[pine ginkgo]

anyway do that

[quasi merlin]

Makes sense, Ari, you can't check things that don't exist.

[pine ginkgo]

and see if you remember the other thing you learned the last week

[ocean robin]

Wir entscheiden uns zum Mond zu gehen und machen die anderen Dinge in diesem Jahrzehnt, nicht weil sie einfach sind, aber weil sie hart/schwer sind.

oooh

[shy bobcat]

mika was here for solaranlage right

[quasi merlin]

Yes.

[pine ginkgo]

do you see it, flops?

[ocean robin]

Wir entscheiden uns zum Mond zu gehen und machen die anderen Dinge in diesem Jahrzehnt, nicht weil sie einfach sind, sondern sie hart/schwer sind.

wait

[pine ginkgo]

eh

[ocean robin]

word order now?

[pine ginkgo]

eeeeeh

you are

[shy bobcat]

where did weil go 👀

[pine ginkgo]

missing

something

[ocean robin]

🤔

[quasi merlin]

You lost a word.

[shy bobcat]

i hate when i a word

😮

😦

[ocean robin]

Sondern weil? 🤔

[viscid cape]

Arizona you're spending too much time with Korea

[ocean robin]

okay then

[shy bobcat]

[pine ginkgo]

Have you ever been far as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

[ocean robin]

Wir entscheiden uns zum Mond zu gehen und machen die anderen Dinge in diesem Jahrzehnt, nicht weil sie einfach sind, sondern weil sie hart/schwer sind.

[quasi merlin]

Word order

[ocean robin]

mh

V2?

[pine ginkgo]

mmh?

[viscid cape]

@pine ginkgo Wtf was that sentence

[sudden panther]

Wow, Solet is now C424

[red pewter]

may I please have another sentence :?

[sudden panther]

Have you fixed the comma in the last one?

[pine ginkgo]

casca has it abblessed already

arrem

[sudden panther]

Good. Because he didn't count it as a mistake the first time.

[shy bobcat]

she got ✅d so

[pine ginkgo]

casca is englishified

he can't be trusted in things of commas

[sudden panther]

Can Basca.

[quasi merlin]

Aan Brrem.

[hot cloak]

Aan Barrem

lol

same idea

[quasi merlin]

Yes but you cloned the A.

[hot cloak]

ye

[sudden panther]

Dammit Daniel. Can't do anything right.

[pine ginkgo]

i mean

it's daniel

[sudden panther]

https://i.imgur.com/WSflwLI.png One day I'll get this up to 100.

[ocean robin]

Wir entscheiden uns zum Mond zu gehen und machen die anderen Dinge in diesem Jahrzehnt, nicht weil sie einfach sind, sondern weil sie sind hart/schwer.? Or sondern + verb?

[pine ginkgo]

wut is happen

[ocean robin]

🤔

word order, Mikah said

[quasi merlin]

Wait

What's the original?

[hot cloak]

Flops

last line right

[pine ginkgo]

uh

[hot cloak]

weil

[pine ginkgo]

i think you just ignore mikah

[hot cloak]

Think about it for a moment

[ocean robin]

oh shiet

my sentence was actually right

[quasi merlin]

Depends.

[ocean robin]

Wir entscheiden uns zum Mond zu gehen und machen die anderen Dinge in diesem Jahrzehnt, nicht weil sie einfach sind, sondern weil sie hart/schwer sind. okay then.

[lost dagger]

Mika meant first clause I think

[pine ginkgo]

We choose to go to the moon and do the other things in this decade, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.

original was this

[ocean robin]

🤔

[hot cloak]

Flop needs a comma

[quasi merlin]

"do the other things in this decade" - is this a part of "we choose to"?

[pine ginkgo]

nope

[quasi merlin]

Ignore me, then.

[pine ginkgo]

otherwise there would be a to

i know what you mean though mikuh

i thought so at first

[hot cloak]

Wir entscheiden uns, zum Mond..

only if you really wanted to be picky tho

[pine ginkgo]

no

well

yeah

but

mhh

[hot cloak]

I know I know

[pine ginkgo]

mhhhhhh

🤔

[hot cloak]

only really official writing natives do it

not by most

[quasi merlin]

Optional, I think

[lost dagger]

I thought it was part of it. We decide to ... do these things

But I mitggghve misunderstood

[pine ginkgo]

yeah

but you would write it We choose to go and to do

no?

or... am i stupid

[lost dagger]

No I think you're right

[hot cloak]

it's likely optional

but I think most would probably not use the comma

I'd almost be happy enough if English was wiped from my brain and nothing was replaced even if it meant never being able to learn a foreign language apart from it

it's that cancerous

[cold vessel]

You're done with flappy and bell?

[lost dagger]

best if you just add a comma every 3 words to be safe

[pine ginkgo]

yeah

i think

[cold vessel]

Das einzige Dinge, das notwendig für den Triumph des Bösen ist, ist, dass gute Menschen nichts machen.

Can you tell me what you think of the sentence structure here then?

[hot cloak]

Luna I know the feeling

[pine ginkgo]

it's fine

it's stupid

but it's fine

wait

DINGE

AGAIN

[cold vessel]

fuck

[pine ginkgo]

HENBRI

[cold vessel]

I copied the wrong thing

[hot cloak]

don't copy it

[pine ginkgo]

:D

[hot cloak]

oh wait maybe you're talking about the full sentence

that makes sense

kind of

[cold vessel]

How would you structure it, Solet?

[lost dagger]

Can nicht notwendig placement change?

[pine ginkgo]

i don't think you can really restructure it

without changing the reading flow

[hot cloak]

is that ", ist," normal

looks a bit odd in that format to me

[pine ginkgo]

yeah

[hot cloak]

I see

English fuckin the brain again

[pine ginkgo]

dw

[hot cloak]

", is that.."

[pine ginkgo]

it's also weird for us

you usually don't want a seperated clause with only one word

[gleaming moth]

Is there a name for a rule or reason why it's Wir entscheiden uns and not just Wir entscheiden? .... Is it because entscheiden uns is like... decide to ourselves?

[hot cloak]

oh

[pine ginkgo]

cause that is confusing as fuck

because

it's reflexive in german

[hot cloak]

It's funny how to sit can also be reflexive in Irish English

lol

I sat myself down

or wait

is that all English

🤔

it is

I think

[lost dagger]

I know a lot of Americans say that

[hot cloak]

southerners

[lost dagger]

and brittos

yeah

[hot cloak]

You know a cool Germanish term we have though

is the term for something really cool

[lost dagger]

crass?

[hot cloak]

it's like too similar to be not taken from German

when something was really awesome or something like that

[ocean robin]

Can I have another translationni? o/

[lost dagger]

class?

[hot cloak]

we say "that was class!"

ye

[lost dagger]

That's pretty cool

Or class I guess

[hot cloak]

lol

I used to say it more than I do now

[quasi merlin]

class

[hot cloak]

like most Irish slang

Mika it's not a new thing like copying German

We all said that when we were 5 year olds

[cold vessel]

We say that in Norwegian too

[ocean robin]

In French, you can say "classe" too

But fuck, this means 2 things

[quasi merlin]

Not sure if klasse or krass

[hot cloak]

It might have just stayed in Irish English for some bizarre reason

[lost dagger]

Friend of mine tried to feign an Irish accent by just replacing every vowel with "I"

[hot cloak]

"No homework lad!"
"Class!"

example

[ocean robin]

🤔

[hot cloak]

also we have a term which is really useful

I don't know how the rest of the anglosphere deals without "to give out to sb."

[ocean robin]

To give out?

[hot cloak]

ye

the way we use it

[ocean robin]

What does that mean first...?

[hot cloak]

if someone is getting in trouble

they're being given out to

[lost dagger]

that's whack

[ocean robin]

🤔

[cold vessel]

In Norwegian that means to publish 🤔

[lost dagger]

sounds like the opposite of done in

[ocean robin]

I don't understand the explanation, sadly, Daniel.

[hot cloak]

a teacher gives out to a student after they did something wrong

means the teacher is like

giving the student some kind of a talk getting mad at them for what they did

[ocean robin]

mmmh

Okay.

[south cedar]

@quasi merlin

[hot cloak]

beware

only in Ireland

[quasi merlin]

?

[ocean robin]

That's arguring, can't we say that?

[hot cloak]

best just forget about it if you're outside the country

[south cedar]

Gimme role

[ocean robin]

*arguing

[south cedar]

I'm not learning German xD

[hot cloak]

no

arguing is when the other person is like

fighting back

about an issue

[ocean robin]

It's not?

[hot cloak]

giving out is more one sided

[quasi merlin]

What are you then?

[hot cloak]

teacher mad at student

student taking the words in

[south cedar]

Native

Kind of

[ocean robin]

"kind of"

[quasi merlin]

K-kind of?

[hot cloak]

if you started at 3 we'll let it slip

😂

[south cedar]

I have German Passport

[ocean robin]

[south cedar]

And I live in Germany

[hot cloak]

since what age

[south cedar]

I'm German

[hot cloak]

so since birth?

[quasi merlin]

Can you speak the language though?

[ocean robin]

You could say that earlier.

What Mika says.

[south cedar]

Since I was 3

Or 4

[hot cloak]

oh

well

[ocean robin]

okay then

[hot cloak]

I'd let it pass

[ocean robin]

^

[south cedar]

I speak fluently

[hot cloak]

seriously no difference in native when you start at that age

[south cedar]

I work as a translator

[ocean robin]

there

have fun

[south cedar]

Yes baby

[cold vessel]

That was really roundabout lol

[ocean robin]

:mmlol:

[south cedar]

I can translate German - Korean - English

[cold vessel]

I think I've seen some Korean in #other-languages

[ocean robin]

^

[south cedar]

Me too

But there wasn't any girls

:/

[ocean robin]

Can I have another translationni?
Arrem? Mikah? Daniel?

[red pewter]

same please

[cold vessel]

Me as well

[ocean robin]

I want to work hard today,I don't know why

[cold vessel]

Are you guys on Duolingo? I need some friends to get a pointless achievement 😛

[red pewter]

lol

i am

[ocean robin]

I am not, but I can sign up if you want to ^^

[red pewter]

i don't know how to make friends

[cold vessel]

Me neither irl, but I think I can manage on duolingo 🤔

What's your nick?

[ocean robin]

"Irl" 😦

[red pewter]

lol

where do you find your user?

[pine ginkgo]

cause there are no people in norway

[red pewter]

oh there it is

[pine ginkgo]

henbri can't find friends

😦

[ocean robin]

😦

[red pewter]

cbell9110

[twilit garden]

norwegian people are nice

[fair iron]

I've never met a Norwegian I didn't like.

[twilit garden]

just don't let them cook

[ocean robin]

[red pewter]

friends

when i go to germany in a few months

i want to visit somewhere else

do I go to the Netherlands/Denmark, or go further away to see the lights?

[cold vessel]

The northern lights?

[ocean robin]

You will go to Germany soon?

[twilit garden]

i so wanna see the aurora at some point in my life

[red pewter]

Ye

[cold vessel]

You need to go pretty far north

[ocean robin]

god, I am so happy fot you :')

[cold vessel]

in Norway or Sweden or Finland

[red pewter]

I'm going to Germany from Dec 30-Jan 15 ❤

[twilit garden]

but i think it would be easier to go to canada for you, cbell

[ocean robin]

And sad for me because I still wait

[viscid cape]

When I go to Germany, I'll visit France, kidnapp Floppo and have her locked in a basement to draw cuteso things for me for all eternity.

[cold vessel]

Are we bad cooks, Nemo? 🤔

[ocean robin]

👀 👀

[opal sequoia]

Go to Australia.

[pine ginkgo]

sounds good krypti

[red pewter]

yeahhhh but that's less fun 😄 I am trying to get my 12th new country in!

[ocean robin]

oh my krypti

[twilit garden]

too much fish for my taste

[ocean robin]

Salmon? Salmon!!!1!1

[twilit garden]

i love it

[ocean robin]

Salmon is best fish

[viscid cape]

https://m.popkey.co/de2d33/vkZO9.gif Flops are you finished drawing yet

[twilit garden]

but cold fish 😑

[ocean robin]

that face 👀

[viscid cape]

Best fish is

swedish stinky fish

[ocean robin]

Cold fish is, meh for me, I agree Nemo

[hot cloak]

now you're using too many commas in English flops

[ocean robin]

Krypti, you can give me a sentence.^^

yeah

[hot cloak]

it would be too many in German too

you flopper

[viscid cape]

I have a special one for you.

[ocean robin]

Nicht placement + denclension + genitive?

[hot cloak]

Flappy

English knowledge test

[ocean robin]

Ooooh!

[hot cloak]

what might young children say instead of 'subtract'

[nocturne spruce]

can someone help me understand this
) Eine Person (Masse mP = 60 kg) läuft mit einer Geschwindigkeit von 6 m/s (i) einem reibungsfrei rollenden Wagen (Masse mW = 90 kg) nach bzw. (ii) ihm entgegen und springt bei erreichen des Wagens auf ihn auf. Wie gross ist die gemeinsame Geschwindigkeit von Person und Wagen, wenn der Wagen zuvor eine Geschwindigkeit von 3 m/s hatte?

the wording is confusing as hell

[ocean robin]

👀

[dire sentinel]

👀

[pine ginkgo]

what part pengu dear

[ocean robin]

Subtract? Well, uh...

To take?

[hot cloak]

oooh

close

[nocturne spruce]

nach bzw. (ii)

[hot cloak]

to take away

[ocean robin]

oh

[nocturne spruce]

till the end of that sentence

[dire sentinel]

I was gonna say Minus

[ocean robin]

[hot cloak]

also minus

[pine ginkgo]

1. you jump on a care in the same direction

2. you jump on a car in the opposite direction

[nocturne spruce]

oh

wish they used a full stop

or something, thanks Luna

[pine ginkgo]

well

bzw

is pretty much full stop for german

:D

[nocturne spruce]

isn't it like a fancy oder here?

[pine ginkgo]

no

think of it is a list

[nocturne spruce]

so it's like respectively?

[hot cloak]

it's nice to see natives writing in funny grammar in comment sections
reminds me that they didn't have to go through what I do with grammar

[pine ginkgo]

in this case yeah

[hot cloak]

lol

[nocturne spruce]

ok, thanks again, now back to physics

Bye

[hot cloak]

u looky foks

lucky

You don't have to understand difficult grammar to use difficult grammar

[viscid cape]

9. Illness comes express and creeps away again like a snail. 🐌

[ocean robin]

=_=

[hot cloak]

Some East Asians would say the same about me and English but I just find it hard to imagine how a gender and all the declension in a sentence just comes to you instantly

[viscid cape]

😂 Don't blame me

[ocean robin]

Who should I blame!?!!?11

LOL SCREENSHOT

[hot cloak]

Flappy

[viscid cape]

What

[hot cloak]

is English easy

[viscid cape]

😄

[pine ginkgo]

lol

krypti

hahaha

[ocean robin]

"Is English easy" depends tbh

You mean, for me?

[hot cloak]

ye

also every German I meet seems to think English is easy

not to mention Scandinavians

[ocean robin]

I can say yes, even if verbs with prepositions are quite difficult for meh.

Like to give/ to give up/ to give to/to give away...

stoff like that isn't difficult but hard to learn for me

[hot cloak]

there is a little similarity with those and seperable verbs in German

it's a feature of Germanic languages

[ocean robin]

Because in French, this kind of verb is rare

[hot cloak]

yeah

you have unique verbs for everything

[ocean robin]

Yep.

[hot cloak]

but those kind of verbs aren't near as common in English as in seperable ones in German

Seperable verbs are like

[ocean robin]

Like for to give (to) = donner (à)
To give up = abandonner
To give away = away

[hot cloak]

So much of German vocab

[ocean robin]

Good thing that verbs in -ieren have a French root, it helps

[hot cloak]

the funny thing right

is that I don't feel like I'm uh

I don't feel like I'm using a language when I'm using English

[sudden panther]

Have we banned Floop yet?

[hot cloak]

I feel like my thoughts are being directly transmitted and their form just happens to look like English

lol

[ocean robin]

wow Arrem

The worst between German and English for me is

[cold vessel]

It's funny, Norwegian doesn't really have separable verbs, but we've stolen a ton of the ones German has. Some of them have become inseparable, while some are always separated. Some even have different meanings in the separated and inseparable forms

[ocean robin]

drink / trinken

[hot cloak]

yeah see the thing is

I think native languages are stored in different parts of the brain

So I never had that problem

[ocean robin]

Sometimes I write "drinken" :^^^)

[hot cloak]

it's more likely to happen frequently if you're dealing with two similar learnt languages
