Enton Evoli (ARREM DU MEME) ist ein cooles Pokemon, das immer Kopfschmerzen hat . Ich liebe Enton Evoli!

😄

[ocean robin]

Enton ist ein tolles Pokemon, das immer Kopfschmerzen hat. Ich liebe Enton! Good job Arrem, yoi actually made me saying that...

[shy bobcat]

@sudden panther floppy actually said it

she loves enton

😄

[sudden panther]

Enton Enton Entooooon!

[ocean robin]

I don't care about that part! Is the sentence actually grammatically correct?

[sudden panther]

Anything with Enton in it is correct.

[ocean robin]

[sudden panther]

You should put Enton in all your sentences. And your math problems. And then they'll all be perfect.

[shy bobcat]

I still think my revisions made it a little Flopsier thus better.

[ocean robin]

No. No.

[shy bobcat]

Enton Evoli (ARREM DU MEME) ist ein cooles Pokemon, das immer Kopfschmerzen hat . Ich liebe Enton Evoli!

[ocean robin]

YES ARI

[shy bobcat]

Definitely improved

[ocean robin]

I AM PROUD OF YOU

[shy bobcat]

@sudden panther ban me, I flooped

[sudden panther]

Okay, next one Floop.

[shy bobcat]

😄

[ocean robin]

Did I get this one right?

[sudden panther]

I like snails and I have one. His name is Billy and he is 3 years old. 😄

[ocean robin]

HE WANTS TO KILL ME

Wait.

This sentence sounds way too similar. Looks like the one I did today about my cat.

[sudden panther]

Really?

[shy bobcat]

I have a suspicion that that might be the joke 👀

[ocean robin]

[cold vessel]

That's a pretty old snail

How did it stay off your dinner table for all this time?

[sudden panther]

Yeah. It's a miracle that she hasn't eaten it yet.

[shy bobcat]

we can't all be expert snail biologists

[ocean robin]

uuuuugh

[shy bobcat]

🐌

Ich mag Schnecken und ich habe auch eine. Sein Name ist Billy und er ist 3 Jahre alt. Ein perfektes Alter zum Essen 😄

[ocean robin]

seriously Ari

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin translate Arrem is giving French-stereotyping sentences about snails to annoy Flappo

[ocean robin]

YEAH

[cold vessel]

Do you generally using biological gender when picking a pronoun for animals?

[sudden panther]

See. My sentences were a lot easier Floop. I bet you'll meme that one up badly.

[shy bobcat]

IDK, I bullshat that tbh, poor billy.

[cold vessel]

Wait, snails are hermaphrodites 🤔

[shy bobcat]

@sudden panther oh yeah true, that grammar might be above enton level 😦

[ocean robin]

Arrem gibt französischen stereotypen Sätze über Schnecken, um Flappo zu verärgern

🤔

[sudden panther]

above Enton level
And then people call me mean. ❤

[shy bobcat]

tbh not bad, except for "French-stereotyping" is pretty vermemt.

@sudden panther 😉

I'm nice when I need to be

[ocean robin]

I was like "idk" for that part, Ari

[cold vessel]

I was meaning to ask, do Germans always clearly distinguish between dürfen and können or is the latter ever used colloquially in place of the former?

[sudden panther]

Ah so that's where I go wrong. Floop when was I ever nice to you?

[shy bobcat]

well, this is some pretty fun grammar if we want to keep the original structure

or we can change it to be something more familiar, like ... sentences about snails that stereotype French people ...

[ocean robin]

Tbh I don't know Arrem, but since you gave me cookies once I think you're nice then?

[sudden panther]

Eh, it's fine to use können when it doesn't really mater.

[ocean robin]

Mh, okay Ari.

[cold vessel]

Like if you don't need to worry about being polite? Or what do you mean?

[shy bobcat]

The actual grammar of what I wrote would be something like Franzosen stereotypierende Sätze über Schnecke but for A level I wouldn't expect you to get that on the first go

hell I'm a tiny bit shaky about that myself

[sudden panther]

No, I mean colloquially. You might hear können instead of dürfen and that's fine. Nobody will bite your head off or anything.

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin so, rewrite the sentence?

😄

with the changed structure

[ocean robin]

Arrem gibt Franzosen stereotypierende Sätze über Schnecken, um Flappo zu verärgern

[hot oriole]

do Germans always clearly distinguish between

I always feel so excluded when people ask such questions. And people do ask this a lot on here. 😢

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin Well, I meant to do the version that said "sentences about snails that stereotype French people" 😛

[cold vessel]

@hot oriole It's kinda awkward to say "German speakers" every time

[ocean robin]

:^>

[torn kindle]

Stereotypisierende*

[hot oriole]

But it's the same in English right? Do you always say what do Americans say?

[ocean robin]

blame ari

[sudden panther]

This is why we should have some great leader guy unite all the German speaking lands under one flag.

No, we can't blame Ari.

Oh we can.

Blame Ari.

[shy bobcat]

Oh, stereotypieren just means "stereotype" in the old way

like the literal way

[cold vessel]

True, atlas

[shy bobcat]

@sudden panther ban ari

ari flopd

[sudden panther]

Yes. Okay, if you're asking for it. 😄

[ocean robin]

ban arimeme even if I can't ban

[viral thunder]

❌ Check failed. You probably don't have permission to do this.

[ocean robin]

[cold vessel]

But what if I'm genuinely interested in how it's done in Germany? If I ask you about e.g. the preterite I'm going to get a totally different answer than if I ask solet or someone

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin anyway, Arrem gives sentences about snails that stereotype French people to annoy Flops. Using the right verb unlike me

[hot oriole]

Newsflash: In Germany it's also not the same everywhere. In Bavaria it's like in Austria for example.

[ocean robin]

Arrem gibt französischen stereotypen Sätze über Schnecken, die französischen Leute klischieren, um Flappo zu verärgern

[cold vessel]

But there's a Standard German and a Standard Austrian, isn't there?

[ocean robin]

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin wot, how do you

[ocean robin]

dict.cc boi

[shy bobcat]

did you add the clause in without getting rid of the original failed grammar?

[sudden panther]

There's only Wienerisch and other inferior dialects.

[ocean robin]

oh wait

that's true

[hot oriole]

But there's a Standard German and a Standard Austrian, isn't there?
That's the same. There are only a couple of specific Austrian words like Jänner for Januar.

[ocean robin]

Forgot to delete it

[shy bobcat]

französischen sterotypen Sätze .... die französischen Leute klischieren

Classic flops

[ocean robin]

yeah

[shy bobcat]

repost without reduncancy pls

😄

[ocean robin]

Arrem gibt Sätze über Schnecken, die französischen Leute klischieren, um Flappo zu verärgern

[sudden panther]

Fan Bloop.

[cold vessel]

Okay

[ocean robin]

What.

[cold vessel]

I can certainly try to be more inclusive in my questions if you want to 🤷

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin why did you decline it "französischen"

not to mention you could just use a single word instead of two

[ocean robin]

mh, that's true

[shy bobcat]

but

[sudden panther]

"Mh that's true."

[shy bobcat]

there is a single word for "a French guy"

[sudden panther]

That was a question Flops. It can't be true or false. It's a question. You answer it.

[ocean robin]

Thought die was only the relative pronoun

[shy bobcat]

That's because it is.

[ocean robin]

So I thought you had to use strong denclension because no article

[sudden panther]

You do.

[ocean robin]

Oh.

Then where am I wrong?

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin look at a declension table

[sudden panther]

At times like these I want to murder Floop. Figuring out that the die isn't an article was quite impressive. And then she floops it up by forgetting how things are declined.

[shy bobcat]

also "stereotypisieren" doesn't exist according to the duden

[ocean robin]

fak don't tell me it's -e

reeeee

[shy bobcat]

We won't

[sudden panther]

Flops. Have you checked the table?

[ocean robin]

fagasf not yet

@ocean robin ?

[ocean robin]

Arrem gibt Sätze über Schnecken, die französische Leute klischieren, um Flappo zu verärgern.

[shy bobcat]

Ok

@sudden panther seriously, what's the proper word for "to stereotype", seska's doesn't even appear to exist, the one I used apparently only refers to typesetting, and ugggh <_>

[sudden panther]

Eh. Idunno. Duden does list klischieren. https://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/klischieren

[shy bobcat]

yeah

[sudden panther]

And also lists no synonyms for the 2nd meaning. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[shy bobcat]

ah well

will have to do

@ocean robin remember how I said "there's a single word you could have used instead of französische Leute"?

[sudden panther]

Schneckenfresser? 🤔 That's rude Ari.

[shy bobcat]

@sudden panther 👀

[ocean robin]

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin look up "Frenchman"

what word does it give you

use the plural of that

[sudden panther]

And don't use "in Algerien geborener Franzose"

[shy bobcat]

inb4 Franzmänner

[ocean robin]

Franzose hm.

[shy bobcat]

yeah, now use the plural of that

instead of französische Leute

inb4 "französische Franzosen"

[ocean robin]

lel

[sudden panther]

[ocean robin]

I didn't know Frenchmen were French, TIL.

[mossy lance]

how do you know when to use habe vs bin doing the other past tense thing

[ocean robin]

Perfekt?

[mossy lance]

ich habe gelernt

ich bin gegangen

[ocean robin]

Others = haben```

[tribal warren]

bleiben doesn't imply movement

[mossy lance]

lol bleiben

thanks

[tribal warren]

there are other verbs, though

for example passieren doesn't imply movement, but you use sein

[mossy lance]

also why is it sometime ge-verb-t and sometime ge-verb-en

gegessen vs gelernt

[tribal warren]

it's a verb that implies change of position or condition

that uses sein

[mossy lance]

oh

[valid ice]

You use sein (etre) for bleiben (rester) in French, which is why she mentioned it

[mossy lance]

so all the non sein ones use -t

[tribal warren]

that's just the way it's formed

Oh I know what @ocean robin meant with bleiben, sorry flappy

[valid ice]

not always bunny, i think there's rules but i've found it so far easier to just learn the past participle ^^

[mossy lance]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

i dislike learning things on a one by one case

rules are easier

[tribal warren]

Oh, some verbs have weird participles

so like sein is irregular, its participle is gewesen

nennen is gennant

[valid ice]

According to my teacher, there are so many different groups, by the time you learn them all you may as well have just learned the past participle for the verbs you use anyway 😛

[mossy lance]

well yeah the modal, irreg, and strong verbs can be weird

[tribal warren]

if a verb has a separable prefix, for instance aufmachen, becomes aufgemacht

[mossy lance]

otherwise i was hoping they are normal

oh well

[valid ice]

Otherwise I would've learned the rules also

[mossy lance]

but the auf leaves anyways

wait does it go

[tribal warren]

how come?

it does go

aufgemacht

[mossy lance]

ich habe gematcht auf

[tribal warren]

No

[mossy lance]

ERRR

ich habe auf gemacht

[tribal warren]

Ich habe die Tür aufgemacht

[mossy lance]

the door

it doesnt serperate

😦

[sudden panther]

Just to be clear about the whole sein thing, the explanation that's usually given is that you use it for verbs that imply motion or a change of state.

[hot cloak]

Do you know a website to do very basic and entry level exercises?

[mossy lance]

^

me too

[sudden panther]

There are some in the resource list.

[mossy lance]

alright lemme try to learn them

tbf it seems like at least all the common weak verbs use the ge-verb-t

[tribal warren]

inseparable prefixes change the ge- prefix, so for instance veröffentlichen becomes veröffentlicht and verbs that end in -ieren, like passieren and informieren have the -t ending and no ge-, so passiert and informiert

[valid ice]

Am I right in thinking verbs with be- don't take a ge-? 🤔

[tribal warren]

Yup

[mossy lance]

whats a verb with be

lol

[pine ginkgo]

Begleiten

Bezahlen

[mossy lance]

bedeuten

[tribal warren]

that's in the inseparable prefixes category

[pine ginkgo]

Bewerten

[mossy lance]

thats right

ich habe bedeutet

[tribal warren]

beginnen 😛

(that's irregular tho)

[mossy lance]

lol

[pine ginkgo]

Also not a prefix

[tribal warren]

oh yea true

I'm dumb

bemerken

[mossy lance]

ich habe bemerkt

probably

[tribal warren]

yup

[mossy lance]

alright

this is learnable

[tribal warren]

You'll get the hang of it

[valid ice]

I've also found (as a general rule of thumb) the weird, not used very often verbs tend to be -t

but not always

[mossy lance]

antworten

[tribal warren]

geantwortet

[valid ice]

That, and some participles take vowel changes -> schwimmen, geschwommen

[mossy lance]

yeah

its a strong verb

[tribal warren]

yea, irregular ones

[mossy lance]

so i can just ignore it for now

lmao

[tribal warren]

hmm

[valid ice]

Not really 🤔

[mossy lance]

whats schwimmen in preterite?

[tribal warren]

I mean their participle forms are irregular

[valid ice]

schwamm (?)

[tribal warren]

which conjugation?

[mossy lance]

ich schwomme ?

[tribal warren]

ich schwamm

[mossy lance]

is that a joke

ugh

[tribal warren]

it's I swam in english

pretty close

[mossy lance]

well

its still a strong verb

[tribal warren]

Der Schwamm is the sponge 😛

[mossy lance]

in which case they conjugate differently so im putting it off

how to say bacon

[tribal warren]

Stop putting things of and learn it

[mossy lance]

no ill learn it but like i need to learn weak verbs first

each strong verb is different 😦

[tribal warren]

I'm pretty sure it's der Bacon

I don't know about a german name

dictcc says der Speck

[mossy lance]

how about

[shy bobcat]

Speck ja ^^

[mossy lance]

schweinfleisch

[tribal warren]

Schweinefleisch

what about it?

[mossy lance]

verbrannt schweinefleish

[tribal warren]

verbranntes Schweinefleisch

[shy bobcat]

Schweinefleisch means pork

not bacon

[mossy lance]

yeah dumb adjectives

the best thing about german is the word for gerbil

run mouse

i have to admit im very disappointed the word for bunny isnt "hop mouse"

[tribal warren]

bat is die Fledermaus

close I guess

[shy bobcat]

😄

[mossy lance]

flymouse?

[mossy lance]

yaya

my guesses seem to be right about like 40%

[round bay]

I dunno how much it gets used on its own

[mossy lance]

maybe 45%

well

flugzeug is also das

do we have lawyers here ;-;

[thick charm]

I pretend to be one sometimes

[upper raptor]

who know english & german, or any pointers? I would like to file a claim for an airline who's ignoring my communication

[thick charm]

What have you tried so far?

[upper raptor]

Email (3 of them) and social media who asks for my email then stops responding

i got a german sim card today

[thick charm]

Calling them directly seems like a good start. They might be swamped with e-mails.

There's really nothing you can do other than be persistens itf you don't want to sue them outright.

[upper raptor]

last email i got was about the age of the items inside the package

and then the guy stopped responding

even on a follow up email

[thick charm]

Yeah, they do take their time, usually.

[upper raptor]

it's a PC monitor and a mech keyboard

[thick charm]

Do you know where they're currently stored?

[upper raptor]

the package they were in was pretty badly damaged (After being lost for 4 days)

[thick charm]

oh

[upper raptor]

they're with me

[thick charm]

That seems more like an insurance thing than a lawyer thing then

[upper raptor]

the screen has a dent in it which bleeds all over it thing

how so 🤔

[thick charm]

If you have a Reisegepäckversicherung, they're liable for compensation if anything breaks while they transport it.

Luggage insurance

Assuming this was an accident on their end, you should be able to get a monetary compensation at the very least.

Other than that, the airlines usually hold themselves responsible for the liability of items worth 1000€ or less, should they break while in their possession.

Though I'm not an expert. You might want to consult an actual professional for that. It should be a pretty clear-cut thing if you can somehow prove that the items in question broke while they were in the airline's possession.

[upper raptor]

nothing is insured on airlines, at least the ones over here

And yeah my items are less than 1000eu

that's the thing, where can i find a professional

cause i don't know german

I got a picture of the package when it arrived and a picture of the broken items (in their broken state)

[thick charm]

I believe most lawyers here should be at least conversational in English.

[upper raptor]

it was lost for 4 days then arrived without the wrapping and dented in all sides

[thick charm]

Definitely in the larger cities

There are some in Frankfurt that I know of, at least.

[upper raptor]

Is it expensive?

Because if it doesn't work i'll probably pay more than the value of the items 😦

[toxic urchin]

make a post on german sub reddit

[thick charm]

I'm afraid I have no numbers I can give you, really. Generally speaking, just getting some advise from a trained lawyer is expensive but not unreasonably so.

[pine ginkgo]

you could try going to a beratungsstelle

but they can generally only give advice

[upper raptor]

[shy bobcat]

Ehhhh

Hochdeutsch isn't really any one dialect

It's a made up standard dialect

[thick charm]

Southern German is anything but high German

[fair iron]

^

[thick charm]

Where'd you get that from?

[fair iron]

High German is in the North, such as Lower Saxony.

[naive charm]

Hochdeutsch is the standard dialect, that is the main dialect in the northern regions, but everyone in germany should be able to speak Hochdeutsch.

[sharp willow]

oh then I have it backward eh?

[thick charm]

High German is what the Prussians invented after annexing half the country.

Super simplified

[sharp willow]

I was thinking the moutains = high

Yeah no, that's not how it works in this case

[sharp willow]

i was just yalled at by some random person who said Moin is not German then told me it was not proper German.

Be warned that High German and Hochdeutsch mean two different things 😉

oh?

It technically isn't, but you really shouldn't be yelled at for that. Greetings and the like are very regional.

can you explain that @shy bobcat

[shy bobcat]

High German is a group of dialects, and Hochdeutsch is the standard German language

[sharp willow]

oh okay

Hochdeutsch != High German?

[thick charm]

It can be translated as High German

[shy bobcat]

Sure

but High German already means something

[thick charm]

The official translation is 'Federal German High German'

[naive charm]

Moin is the most proper german. It's on of the most used greetings around here (lower saxony)

[thick charm]

Which is both ridiculous and amazing.

[shy bobcat]

Hochdeutsch is based primarily on High German dialects judging by the consonantism, but High German dialects absolutely ≠ Hochdeutsch

[thick charm]

To avoid confusion, you should probably call 'proper German' 'standard German'

[sharp willow]

so the language and dialect are not the same?

[thick charm]

High German is the name for a group of German dialects. The ones in Germany proper.

There's also Swiss High German, for example.

Not part of the group

[fair iron]

The ones in Germany proper? What does that mean.

[sharp willow]

ja i normally read Swiss High German, so i know it has it's differences

[thick charm]

In the boundaries of modern day Germany

[sharp willow]

like no ß

[thick charm]

excluding Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg

Did I use the wrong word?

(And Liechtenstein)

[shy bobcat]

High German dialects are the ones that went under the weird consonant shifts (such as besser vs. better), as opposed to Low German, which didn't, and thus is more like Dutch

[fair iron]

I don't know what you tried to say, to be honest. 😦

[sharp willow]

well it did not make sense in English

but i think i understood

[thick charm]

huh

What word am I missing here

[sharp willow]

The ones in Germany proper.

[thick charm]

I know there's something

[main frigate]

Germany proper sounds very british english, so that might be correct

[thick charm]

No I know what I said

[slender rain]

That makes sense tho

[thick charm]

It does?

Neat

[shy bobcat]

yes

[sharp willow]

i was thinking proper should be in the front of German and not at the end....

unless you make it an advjustive and said properly? (NEVER MIND THAT IS NON-SENSE)

[naive charm]

In spoken form I don't think there ever was or is really a "proper" standard, but in written language there is so we should distinguish here. The most used dalect, that is spoken is Hochdeutsch, which is the nearest equivalent of standard written german and is the dialect of northern regions.

[sharp willow]

anyhow, thanks for clearing that up for me

[shy bobcat]

I can't think of a better way to say "Germany proper" honestly

It's a very nice construction

😄

[fair iron]

I still don't quite get it. 🤔
Is German proper a title? If so, wouldn't it be German Proper?

[thick charm]

Germany proper

as in within the borders of Germany

[sharp willow]

ohhh

[thick charm]

Is what I meant at least

[shy bobcat]

yeah

[thick charm]

Did I miss the y?

[naive charm]

As in Meister Proper?

[shy bobcat]

that's what I understood 😛 @thick charm

[main frigate]

it computes

[fair iron]

Oh, now I follow. ^^

[sharp willow]

@naive charm so The most used dalect, that is spoken is Hochdeutsch, which is the nearest equivalent of standard written german and is the dialect of northern regions. would make moin part of Hochdeutsch?

[shy bobcat]

:

[thick charm]

Well Hochdeutsch is really just what the victorious Prussians decided everybody should speak and they didn't really use moin as much. So it's technically not, no.

[sharp willow]

okay thanks

[thick charm]

Again, wildly oversimplified

[opal sequoia]

What you said made perfect sense, Chuck. It's just easy to mis-read.

[thick charm]

Got it

Thanks

However greetings are usually in this weird grey-area where they're accepted as part of Hochdeutsch since every region has its own

[sharp willow]

well after being yelled at i want to understand it more

so a grey-area is not this or that....

[thick charm]

If you wanna be super technical 'Guten Tag' is the one proper greeting in Hochdeutsch, but you really only use that if you're in a serious conversation with someone.

[sharp willow]

not Hallo?

[thick charm]

Or Morgen and Abend respectively

[shy bobcat]

"Hallo" auch nicht? ^^

[thick charm]

Hallo works as well

[naive charm]

Language is an every changing construct, so if we consider that in fact, the dialects, that the prussians wanted us to speak is the standard dialect, than no one would be considered speaking Hochdeutsch, because with so many new word finding it's way into the language it's already different than back then. I would consider Moin totally as a part of standard german (Hochdeutsch), because not only is it very popular, but it's also used and understood, everywhere in germany.

[sharp willow]

seems like we are trying to really get down to what is 'the right way' to greet someone

[shy bobcat]

Ich meine, "Hallo" ist nicht "richtiges" Hochdeutsch?

[thick charm]

It wasn't for a while, iirc

[main frigate]

@naive charm - at some point too, the common words become infused into the language and become the norm

[thick charm]

It was semi-militaristic and came from something in Hungarian.

Meaning something along the lines of "I'm listening"

and it made its way over into German thanks to the Austrians

[shy bobcat]

🤔 but "hello"; I would think those two have a common ancestor

and "hello" has a traceable Old English form, (h)ēalā

[thick charm]

Probably just two words that merged over time then.

[sharp willow]

@naive charm Ja, but this is the issue that English has. Where we have rules that no longer apply to everything and then silent letters

[naive charm]

hello and hallo were obviously having the same root

[thick charm]

That's what I learned, at the very least

Hello hasn't really been around as a greeting until the phone was invented.

[sharp willow]

that is interesting

[thick charm]

I think

[sharp willow]

so everyone said Guten Tag?

[thick charm]

The regional differences were far bigger back then

[opal sequoia]

Hochdeutsch is just meant to be your "official, by-the-books" German rules and vocab. It's not meant to dictate what is "correct" German in a real-world, practical sense or anything. So you shouldn't worry too much about what you use being Hochdeutsch.

[thick charm]

So every region had its own greeting and that was pretty much what they exclusively used.

[opal sequoia]

Like someone yelling at you for that is a bit silly.

[thick charm]

But they all share some similarities

But yes, Guten Tag was the standard after the Prussians came in, at least that's how I remember it.

[naive charm]

"Guten Tag" sounds too formal and therefore sometimes emotionless for me at least

[opal sequoia]

Good day, gentlemen.

[sharp willow]

@opal sequoia I thought so too, however I was unsure and therefore did not say much back

[opal sequoia]

That's okay.

As a learner it is pretty reasonable to assume you're the one who's missing something.

[sharp willow]

can Wie geht es dir also be a greeting?

or is that just an American thing (How it's going?)

[fair iron]

You could greet people that way.

[thick charm]

I suppose it would work, yes.

[naive charm]

The best greeting is still "Na?!"

[sharp willow]

lol

I never seen that

[thick charm]

Personally, I'd add a 'Hey' or something at the start

[sharp willow]

can you give me an exmaple Chuck?>

[thick charm]

https://www.dict.cc/?s=na

'Hey, wie geht es dir?'

Literally hey, how are you

[sharp willow]

Hey is not English?

[thick charm]

It's an anglicism

[sharp willow]

na comes from naja?

[thick charm]

But a very common collouqial greeting

[sharp willow]

oh okay

[thick charm]

I don't think it does

[sharp willow]

I kind of want to study some of the althochdeutsch

[thick charm]

I don't belive na and naja have too much in common

[hot oriole]

The most used dalect, that is spoken is Hochdeutsch, which is the nearest equivalent of standard written german and is the dialect of northern regions.

Ehh. Wrong. The original dialect of the Northern regions is Low German. @naive charm

[sharp willow]

really?

[cold vessel]

In German though, should "Wie geht es dir" be considered like a genuine question?

Because in English you kinda just assume people will answer "Good, you?" no matter what it seems

[thick charm]

na is more like well? within a question and naja is more like the unsure 'well...'

I suppose they're close

Depends on who you're talking to, Hen

It can be a throwaway question just like in English

[sharp willow]

kind of sad that it is that way

[opal sequoia]

I don't think German is one of the cultures where you expect to hear the person's life story just by asking how they're going.

[hot oriole]

I kind of want to study some of the althochdeutsch

Old High German is super difficult even for native speakers since the language changed a lot since then. Middle High German is easier.

[opal sequoia]

If that's what you meant anyway.

[naive charm]

@hot oriole is it really the modern dialect of the northern region if no one is speaking that. I wouldnt say so. I mean yes in this region there was a lot of lower german back in the day, but nowadays, you will have a hard time finding someone, who speaks it, so considering that I wouldnt say low german is still "the" northern dialect. It's a different story in for example bavaria or saxony, because those dialects are stil spoken. And besides that: Low german is not a dialect, but a completely different language per definition

[zinc seal]

@opal sequoia Kann ich fragen: was ist die Geschichte deines Lebens?

[opal sequoia]

Ja, du kannst.

[thick charm]

It works, but phrasing it that way makes it seem super pompous

[shy bobcat]

mittelhochdeutsch ❤

[thick charm]

Like something you'd ask in a stage play

[cold vessel]

@opal sequoia Well, more like, if they're having a bad day, would they tell you after that question

[thick charm]

Genitiv does that to sentences

Just use Lebensgeschichte instead

[sharp willow]

Well thanks so much for clearing all this up. Glad this place exist 😃

[opal sequoia]

Hmm, that I don't know, henbri.

Ein Wort, das ich erfunden habe

[hot oriole]

@naive charm It's still incorrect to call Standard German the dialect of Northern Germany. It's the written language of all German speaking countries and regions and not bound to Northern Germany.

[hot cloak]

yeah

anyone went to the Oktober Fest?

[naive charm]

Maybe I would have said something like "Hochdeutsch is a dialect that nowadays is tue most prominent spoken dialect in the northern regions" if you dont want ne to call Hochdeutsch "the" northern dialect.

[hot oriole]

Hochdeutsch are all German dialects in the South: Swabian, Bavarian, Alemannic, Franconian as opposed to Low German dialects in the North. So I'm not a fan of using Hochdeutsch for Standard German especially when talking about such a topic.

I'd just say that the Northerners abandonned their dialects and adopted the written language.

[naive charm]

So what should i call the dialect I'm speaking? Niederdeutsch?
Modern standard German is Hochdeutsch. And yes some centuries ago I would have agreed with you

[sharp willow]

so then what i said was right

hoch = mountains

which are in the south

[hot oriole]

You are then speaking Standard German which is a High German language.

[naive charm]

And what would you say is the german word for that? Hochdeutsch? Or is that a word you only consider to be in the definition it had in former centuries, which would not apply to northern Germany

[hot oriole]

Standarddeutsch

[naive charm]

Das sagt aber keiner

Jeder würde das Hochdeutsch nennen

[hot oriole]

Was aber falsch ist. Hochdeutsch ist auch Bairisch und Schwäbisch. Nur weil es viele Leute sagen ist es nicht automatisch richtig.

[naive charm]

Aber Wörter haben die Eigenschaft ihre Bedeutung entsprechend ihrer Verwendung zu ändern. Haben sie schon immer und werden sie immer.

[twilit garden]

Es ist nicht falsch - der Duden nennt Standardsprache als ein Synonym zu Hochdeutsch:

https://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Hochdeutsch

[hot oriole]

Stimmt. Es ist aber sehr ungenau. Gerade wenn man über Dialekte redet wird es dann ganz schnell verwirrend.

[sudden panther]

Can we agree on https://i.imgur.com/a7anoFF.png and call it a day? 😛

[naive charm]

Sprachen sind immer verwirrend. Das hat natürlich entstandene Sprache so an sich

[olive valley]

Und auch erfundenen/konstruierten Sprachen wird dieses Schicksal eines Tages zuteil.

[naive charm]

Aber gottseidank nur bei Sprachen, die zwischen Menschen gesprochen werden. Programmiersprachen sind immer eindeutig definiert ^^

[shy bobcat]

@silk locust you know you ought to go on here more, in this channel and #general they sometimes do some translation practice

your german will get gud if you come here

😄

[silk locust]

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin can attest to this server getting people's german gud

...maybe

[silk locust]

that an english native speaks german better than me

😦

[shy bobcat]

actually believing that english speakers are language handicapped 😩

[silk locust]

nah

[shy bobcat]

@silk locust but yeah, you do some translation practice and speak in the VCs here halal

and your German go ^^^^^^ thru the roof

[silk locust]

but you know, dutch speakers would be in the advantage

i thought

yeah

[ocean robin]

yus I can witness

[shy bobcat]

Because they go hard on the grammar mistakes

[silk locust]

but you're A level?

:thinkw:

[shy bobcat]

@silk locust yeah but she's gone from "wario" to "comprehensible" 😛

[silk locust]

i dont wanna know how they react on wario then

probably they'd hang him

[shy bobcat]

you fuck up your grammar, they make sure you know what you did wrong 😄

so, you get gud

just don't take 20 minutes to complete one sentence eyes flappo and you'll be good

[silk locust]

it's for the better

[ocean robin]

Lol I know who Wario is, isn't he a character from the Mario games?

[shy bobcat]

Lol

[ocean robin]

[shy bobcat]

No, a discord user called wario toad

claims he's studied german for three years

says such gem phrases as "wie geht du" and "ich kollst helfen"

basically "bad german personified"

@ocean robin

[ocean robin]

"kamn ich dir hebfen"

[shy bobcat]

nice flopso typing

[silk locust]

Wario is a nice guy tho

[ocean robin]

[silk locust]

but makes mistakes that a 3 year old would cringe at

[shy bobcat]

yeah

[tribal warren]

Did he leave the server?

[silk locust]

yes

or he wasn't here

[shy bobcat]

He was never here, afaik

[tribal warren]

Oh

[silk locust]

luckily

[sudden panther]

Sounds like a fun guy. Can we play with him?

[silk locust]

anyways

[tribal warren]

Sure just select him in the character selection part

[silk locust]

@shy bobcat tbh i should learn the german adjectives 👀

[sudden panther]

We could let Floop bully him.

[silk locust]

i practically know the definite and indefinite article declension in my head now

[shy bobcat]

@tribal warren Yeah there's no mention of him on here, save for the few times I mentioned him

[silk locust]

so i need to remember the adjectival one and the accusative prepositions too

and then i'm pretty much set

and need to only learn vocab

[tribal warren]

There's always that one person that says she has a ton of experience with a language but knows so little

[shy bobcat]

oh yeah we have another one

claims to be native latin

[silk locust]

yeah

native vulgar latin i'd believe tbh

but native latin i'd laugh at

unless they were that one monk in 1550

[tribal warren]

native latin

[shy bobcat]

Says he's native Latin, makes latin mistakes that I knowing virtually no Latin could spot

[tribal warren]

I'm a native latin

[silk locust]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_de_Montaigne

*Montaigne's education began in early childhood and followed a pedagogical plan that his father had developed, refined by the advice of the latter's humanist friends. Soon after his birth, Montaigne was brought to a small cottage, where he lived the first three years of life in the sole company of a peasant family, in order to, according to the elder Montaigne, "draw the boy close to the people, and to the life conditions of the people, who need our help".[16] After these first spartan years, Montaigne was brought back to the château. The objective was for Latin to become his first language.

The intellectual education of Montaigne was assigned to a German tutor (a doctor named Horstanus, who could not speak French). His father hired only servants who could speak Latin, and they also were given strict orders always to speak to the boy in Latin. The same rule applied to his mother, father, and servants, who were obliged to use only Latin words he himself employed, and thus acquired a knowledge of the very language his tutor taught him. Montaigne's Latin education was accompanied by constant intellectual and spiritual stimulation. He was familiarized with Greek by a pedagogical method that employed games, conversation, and exercises of solitary meditation, rather than the more traditional books.*

[tribal warren]

Oh my

Daniel almost convinced someone that he was native Latin once.

And then he just gave up like that. I was never more ashamed of him.
