to be honest though
German grammatical constructs
are often quite natural feeling to me
Moreso recently
but never had a problem with verbs coming last in general
She's French, don't they raise them on wine?
Flappy
Champagne though ❤
I'm going to be a dickhead
sure
Please standby.
👀
I actually hate wine
I don't really like white wine
oh lo l
you want me to explain
White wine I do like
Champagne is nice as well
But can't you add a comma?
krypti
but
actually, I hate wine?
i think flops successfully ignored you
That she did.
I dunno how to explain it
Actually, I hate wine
is a perfectly fine construct
But what I said is better in this context
at least I'd say that
omg I have no idea
Okay Krypti.
To me "Actually, I hate wine" feels like you just remembered you hate wine, while "I actually hate wine" sounds like you're refuting something. Might be totally wrong though 🤷
Actually has a higher tone than the I have wine part
For refuting
I don't know why actually, I hate wine doesn't sound as good as I actually hate wine to me
in that context anyway

lol
I put commas everywhere now
I've been doing Irish almost every day at school from the age of 4 and in the creche before that
Some weird things stuck
like I feel the effects, some structures aren't as difficult as they should be for me as a native English speaker because of Irish being there annoying me my whole life
Yet, I'm still not fluent
@ocean robin What do you mean by okay krypti 🤔
Am I really fluent in English though?
We can begin the exercises. ^^
your brain is kind of forced to change it's chemistry a bit with sentences structured like "Is the pencil I have" for "I have the pencil"
FLÖPS
heh.
YEAH

We can begin the EXPERIMENTATION
I DIDN'T MEAN THAT AT ALL
well
Probably loaned directly from latin
oh
Experimentation looks like "expérience" or sth
http://www.etymonline.com/word/experiment French actually
Floppo I already gave you an exercise in case you didn't notice
esperment

krypti
Old French looks like a proper latin language
experiment
Not like the modern one
🤦
i think we can cross that off the list
About the snails? Agagajf.
I remember in 2nd class when everyone thought beautiful and chocolate were impossible to spell
this is why it takes English kids like 3 years later to get to the same standard of writing as kids from other countries
I see Flappy
answer
lel
I need to learn German though
- Illness comes express and creeps away again like a snail. Okay.
Is that the original or was thee original German
Original is German
ok
I've adapted it
"comes express"?
Was gonna say, either flop messed up or whoever wrote that messed up
Is that valid English?
Humm my bad then
By express I mean, as when you send something express - Faster than usual
yeah
Well it sounds funny
lul
just ignore it
Maybe the German sounds weird too lel
😄
Is that old
yes
Cool
Krankheit kommt ausdrücklich und schleicht wieder wie eine Schenke davon. uh wat
I FOUND THAT FOR EXPRESS OKAY
Premiumversand
extrapost
Lol Luna
no really
that would be a modern translation
extrapost
was basically a thing for mail
Ahh I see, so my translation wasn't all that off
to swiftly be transported

but on exclusive roads only for that
Oh cool
at least not in that meaning
By wot?
ohh sorry then
np :)

Krankheit kommt schnell und schleicht wieder wie eine Schenke davon.
I'm going to say something but I'm not sure
I see 'wie' as introducing a clause
So it has to be sepparated
of the other clause
So it's a preposition?
Yeah.
Huh? Reflexive seperable verb?
Solet would you use "wie eine Schnecke" embedded in the clause like that?
yes
I think the rule is when someone corrects you 3 times they get your color
Shush snail

You typed it wrong
Good.
🍪
Not only you learn German, but also wisdom.
Thanks to my sentences.

Now I must eat.
@pine ginkgo will take care of you, my pupil.
nope
lol
Btw Floppo
I'll stop with the snail jokes, this time it really wasn't my fault lul the exercise says it.
Do this in the meantime: https://i.imgur.com/FnW0ZIW.png
There should only be one article per sentence
ÖSTERREICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111
😍 😍 😍

https://giphy.com/gifs/reaction-BmmfETghGOPrW tfw you derive a probability formula on your own and then check if it's right and it is
I am too lazy to type anything, Henbri =_=
Just tell me the article and whether it should go in the first or second slot
Can it have none in a slot? Like the first one?
Yeah, only one slot in each sentence should be filled
oh okay
So the first is in der right?
Ich finde das Leben
sie ist eine gebürtige Französin
Karin ist in der Schweiz
Level A
constantly fails at typing
too lazy to type
Logic doesn't check out.
You have one mistake
one is wrong
Find out 🤷

Ahahahahaha find out. I love you Henbri.
he's a filthy cheater
but he is our filthy cheater
or mine
if you don't want him
I do. I want anyone who makes Flops suffer helps Flops.
It kiinda helps to think in English here, flappy
But it might be confusing as well I guess
In school?
@pine ginkgo It might only work if you already know where the mistake is 🤔
That one was right, flappy
oki dokie
Really? 🤔
I can't see the mistake 
I don't really know how to give a hint for this, anyone got an idea?

Flappy, you know that people's occupations are always without an article, that removes most options
Hint: Open the Modern German Grammar and check the section on article usage.
In fact it removes everything but two
And one of the remaining ones should be easy to eliminate
It's a nice hint. 😛 It would definitely solve her problem.

Well
i did nothing
We tried to keep her busy at least
so yes
😄 cool
It's a miracle that we ever finish anything.
still thinking atm
Lol.

(you can ask questions, if you think for 20 minutes)
(and if you don't get any results)
(or anything at all)
Sure but what kind?
Given that it's been 11 minutes, you could have as well downloaded the book and checked. 😂
Attention span: -234234
Hint: Open the Modern German Grammar and check the section on article usage.
Pls 2139. Come sooner.
I know Solet, I am thinking about that 🤔
Huh?

2139?
If so, you are a naïveboy
"Sometimes" often involuntary
😂
Floppy, did you do the process of elimination like I mentioned?
Yeah?
So what sentences are you left with?
2, 3 and 4?
Why's that?
yeah
Henbri :D
So no article for occupations
Since we still have another slot, 1,2,3 and 4 
🤔
flappy, you didn't use an article for the occpuations, ie. you did those right
So how are you left with 1, 2, 3 and 4? 🤔
Because there are 2 slots 
Mh.
And that one doesn't need a change
You didn't mess up a gender, flappy
You messed up puttin something in the right slot
🍿
Solet are you making henbruas' club ID already
My patience is infinite
Good.
I've TAed for 3 years, it helps
Sorry for taking so long by the way :(
It's just that I fokking can't see it
Flappy, can you tell me again what sentences you think are left?
Well, I don't really know what sentences are left since there's 2 slots, so everything besides the last one 🤷
Right
I have a feeling it's "die Gitarre spielen" for no reason
And then "nach dem Abendessen" 
sounds weird
Do you know the thing JFK said in a speech in Berlin that people make fun of, flappy?
Ich bin ein Berliner? 
People outside of germany are making fun off
He didn't actually do anything wrong
Cause no one germany actually makes fun of it

Also i csnt type todsy
We can see that
Solet 2017
You are flopsing all the way
Since "ich bin ein Berliner" and "ich bin Berliner" mean different things iirc, and him saying the latter would have sounded silly

Lol

:)
Ok, so my point is, flappy, you don't usually use an article when you say where you're from
@cold vessel Is remembering his TA years
🤔
oh okay
So use that to eliminate another sentence
People wont look at you funny though, if you use an article though
I don't even know what's being talked about
Err
Err
Both work actually
I didn't think about that part 🤔
And that is not the mistake
Awww 😦
Sie ist gebürtige Franzosin sounds weird 🤔 doesn't it
^
No it doesnt
Hummm
You're supposed to have an article there though 🤔
That's why I said eine
Sounds like a caveman
Yeah but it's not necessary
😂
flappy, and you were correct to
You're being influenced by Engrish
Pls no engrish
Engrish? What is that mentioned?
How do you say I play the guitar in French?
Je joue de la guitare/à la guitare
Hummm then French is also interfering
I am messing up my French now :^^^)
Ban french
English shouldn't necessarily interfer ...
Ban krypti
Je joue a la playa
If Solet were a mod, he would ban everyone sooner or later? 
lol what, you play the sand?
*the beach, ugh
wow 😦
Floppo, instruments = article zero
Yes
:^(
You can say "play guitar" in English btw
Yep
Do you say just "nach Abendessen", Solet?
I said for english
Oh
@cold vessel Play guitar?
I learned it as play the instrument too
But without article seems also to be widespread
Must be some 'murican heresy
It's "play guitar" or "play the guitar" equally IMO

And ditched us all
😦
patspats
^^
Damn
I'll talk in Engrish only

I'm okay with trying to talk to strangers
Just not to people I know
:c
🤔
Shouldn't it be the opposite? 
Yes, I'm weird
I'm afraid people will find out
The German fraud that I am
But if they don't know me
They have no expectations, so
It's alright.
LOL
😺
Do you think i have any

Yes

You want to demote me all the time
To sub-A

Flappo will soon surpass her master
Then take his life, as it's a tradition among us Sith
Flappo will soon surpass her master
2139?
😄
So you are the worst brazilian purple speaker, krypti? 🤔
I am sure he isn't 
😦
It's either him, bergi or the monkey
And according to bergi, the monkey is better than bergi
Krypti, your need your confident claim though. Just say a steadfast "no"
And krypti didn't refute
"i am the best"
🤔
I think I am to be fair 🤔
Maybe I know a little bit more grammar, but speaking I'm probably the worst amongst them
Patspats Floppo
Still lazy boye
😂
Pat yourself.

gepaet :>
It's not the same Arrem, it makes me feel lonely :<
Also when we all meet in Vienna, I'll make sure Krypti gives you exactly one headpat and says "Who's a good Flopper? Youuu're a good Flopper. Yes you are. Ohh yes you are." in an enthusiastic tone.
Otherwise i revoke it
🤔 I was as a child
Flappo I promise to Pat you like crazy if we meet.
Lol @sudden panther 😂
Hello people 😛
Hallo
Wie geht's?
nicht schlecht dänke, und dir?
Mir geht es gut, nur ziemlich müde.
so geh schlafen :>
Ich bin gerade von der Schule nach Hause gekommen 😛
Lazy boye
What

I was in school for 12 hours
Gimme a break
Hello Flaptrap
@valid ice Maybe I will..
Hellow
Hola
Flaptrap 
We should all play borderlands co-op.
I played that way too much :s
I don't have it though 😦
It's ok Flopps you're flaptrap you're in every story
peh, you can find it for real cheap these days
true
And momma would be like "wow guns no!!1!11"
:s
hi :3
How are you? ^^

Flappo do you have school by the morning
Nope, holidays 
and whatever my bf is writing is making him cry so now I'm a bit sad
Watch some lewd, berzi

no lewd is banned
i already did that
Mhhh
Is that even helping?
Read some lewd?
why ever last
because lewd is bad 😶
Callum is lewd
callum is most certainly not lewd
What has this conversation turned into 👀
Berg after spending a weekend at Flappo's

ah oui, it iz i, berzee

There should be more frenchies here
So that Flappo won't have to take all trolling alone
She would still
Also there are plenty of frenchies here, at least I've heard a few in VC
I believe I still haven't heard her voice 🤔
but admittedly I'm not in vc that often as of late
🐌
Too many
Any scargot jokes?
and excuse me if I sound creepy but I find french accent on English unbearably adorable
^^
oh waw
überraschung
UNBELIEVABLE
Un belì vabl!
Whoa
You didn't know?
We didn't know?
Not even flopps knew it whoa
B-but when I saw this I didn't understand
Ihr didn't know
Lol
I have issues for saying the word "happiness" tbh :^^^)
Wow!
Because there's a H! Didn't know Frenchies have issues with the hs!
lol what

💯 💯
Uuuuuh
PERFECT HERE, PERFECT GRAMMAR

Hello Fox

👀

two arrems? 😵
You seem to really like this smiley flappy 
a lot 
cause I live in a republic and a lot of students from villages speak bad russian
Which republic?
yakutia
:^)
Floop when's your birthday? 😛
don't tell him
December 11th, why? 😛
he s dangerous
As a birthday gift, we'll remove
😄
NOOOOO
don't you remember this story with a horse
HIW NAUGHTY
With a horse...?
GIFT
he killed a horse
freedom
Fail
Nice copypasta.
looool
TBH we should just kill all horses.
so he will kill you at your birthday
Except the ones that we use for food.
Ahahahaha. I'm just giving you time to prepare, Floop.
You kill horses too?
🔪 🐴
But I don't use it often so who cares 
Once. I ran over it and had to put it out of its misery. So I pulled out a knife and started cutting its throat. Turns out, horses are extremely resilient though. It took that thing 20 minutes to bleed out and die.
_>
have you seen Pferd recently? I haven't.
He's still with that story?!
We ate him
...oh god
O_O Arrem
Oh hey Foxxo, how was sleep? 😛
actually it was not dat bad
pferd \/
^true
wait do people actually pronounce findus as find us?
I don't know how to feel about this :^:
What's findus
Frenchies don't
You should try horse meat Floop. It's delicious.
it's DELICIOUS
I bet it's juicier than frogs.
Don't you mean fondues?
frenchies probably say findù
Sadly, I did once, and even if I found it decent, I will never eat it again
which sounds cute
No, it's not like find us, just a funny pun 
horse meat is great
you should try PFERD meat you wanted to say arrem?????
unicorn meat is better, but you don't find that very often these days


I am hungry too but everyone is sleeping 😦
You have anything small you can eat?
I ate it only once when I was 8. And when I found out I did I cried.
So, it's not mean to eat cows & chickens & frogs & things, but you can't eat horses?
flopsnek if everyone is asleep, you can make food quietly ^^
Why didn't your parents tell you it was horsie meat
Actually Arrem, that's a debate we're beginning, hm 
Horsie meat is too zäh
I always find it cute when kids find out where meat comes from and then panic and turn vegetarian.
Don't like it too much

I once got in trouble for telling my 5 year old cousin about the origins of meat. 😦
😦
dunno about you guys but I quite enjoy eating chicken embryos in various forms. I often beat them before putting them on intense heat and then eating them
^ same
^
Is there a hidden euphenism for your bf, berzi
There should be no more hunting, people should just go to the store and get meat so the animals font have to die
Embryos...? What?

lol no solet, you lewd beast
I insist on eating my chicken embryos beaten. Anything else doesn't taste as good.
wow now that you mention it it's true, I appear to be less lewd 🤔
Embryos...? What?
Sciency word for "egg" pretty much @ocean robin
never fried arrem? you heathen
Ah.
i like putting my chicken embryos in scalding water for a while until they solidify
Can we stop talking about that, it's disgusting 🤦
eggs are delicious in any form. I even ate them in powder form
Scrambled or bust.
Any form
that's right
Because you have the same word, well, it is similar and it doesn't mean the same thing, so I was confused 🤔
Distributes the fetus evenly for better taste.
Egg in ramen is nice too
even after they grow up into living things
Flops when did you become so rude?
floepsel
@ocean robin my brother is a fancy (non-french) cook and he dabbled in molecular cuisine
if that's the english name for it
Dunno, looks like my self-esteem somewhat increased
Oh, maybe I don't know how this egg is cooked then.
https://i.imgur.com/mcOdHic.png you were an innocent child when you joined, dammit.
We can change that
Flepperhecker needs to teach people how to swear in french though 
fdp
what, apparently I only have 131 results
je suis pain putain
Here. Slang. Go for it.
I like how girls use this expression "casser les couilles" even though technically they don't have any
cassay lay kwee 
🤔 i know of a way to translate that expression in italian but not in english
or german
fdp, 🤔 fille de pute?
yeah
Literally it mean "to break the balls of sb"
or fils
Füll die Pute
No I said fdp
also, somehow i guessed the meaning without formally knowing the words therein
son of a bitch borzo ^^
French has got too many slang tbh
I guess it's the secret power of every latin language speaker
Squid the berzi
Every language has a lot of slang though Flopsel 
Hf with morning lewds
gn9 
See ya Berzi! 
that's the cutest emoji ever
No, Callum, I mean in French, sometimes when there's a sentence, you can interpret it in the normal and the sexual way >_>
tbh I hate that
Heheh
I've used
more than Flopporhockor has said fuck ^^
You have not talked to berzi often enough, flops
oh I don't know the lewd Berzi yet
Whens drunk callum again

Math is awesome.

Also my superearly morning lecture got cancelled for tomorrow, so I get to sleep till 10. 😎

But I didn't study hard today so I am kinda ashamed 😦
what were you supposed to study?
damn
German + math thingos
you have 5h45 until you must start tomorrow's studying, so you can catch up between now and then 
I knew I should have given you more exercises

But people say that I should enjoy the holidays and rest a bit 
But I don't wanna because I realized that holidays actually kill my German, sooooo.
I didn't do any work yet
Yes you should. Listen to your teachers and do both at the same time ^^
oh okay
