Ja, das ist ein Apfelkuchen.

hot cloak
#

Ich mag Apfelkuchen. Ist gut.

opal sequoia
#

Stimmt.

hot cloak
#

Ich werde gut, ich denke

tribal warren
#

I didn't think of an example that simple 🤔

#

welp

hot cloak
#

do compound words the same as english

opal sequoia
#

At least you are trying, Berg.

tribal warren
#

tru

hot cloak
#

like eisberg or apfelkuchen

tribal warren
#

do compound words the same as english

#

?

#

if they work the same?

hot cloak
#

it's almost 3 am

#

do they work the same

tribal warren
#

im not judging I wanna understand the question :v

opal sequoia
#

Oh btw Grey where are you from?

tribal warren
#

hot cloak
#

England, but I moved to Austria

opal sequoia
#

Wow, cool!

#

opal sequoia
#

Okay, that's cool.

hot cloak
#

...

tribal warren
#

hot cloak
#

I'm Anglo-Austrian btw, just if you were wondering why I'm in Austria of all places

#

nvm

opal sequoia
#

Anglo-Austrian?

hot cloak
#

yes my mother's austrian and my father's english

opal sequoia
#

Ohh, I see.

hot cloak
#

yeah i also have dual citizenship

#

My mother never taught me German mainly because she worked so much

#

and they didn't speak any German around the house

sand spoke
#

man i had to leave after my first messages

#

Grey

#

I'm a dual citizen also but my german's bad

#

👊🏿

hot cloak
#

that's why i'm here lol

sand spoke
#

I'm america-germany

hot cloak
#

I already said what I am if you didn't hear lol

sand spoke
#

Ya reading now

#

I just came back

#

Kannst du schon ein bisschen Deutsch sprechen? Oder hast du erst neulich angefangen?

hot cloak
#

Entschuldigung, ich kann kein Deutsch sprechen ;-l

#

;-;*

sand spoke
#

And you just recently moved to austria?

hot cloak
#

#

Kein gut aber Lernen.

Gute Besserung

sand spoke
#

I came to the us as an infant and haven't ever lived in Germany

hot cloak
#

Ich möchte schlafen aber ich kann nicht.

sand spoke
#

Warum kannst du nicht schlafen?

hot cloak
#

Kaffee

sand spoke
#

Is your mother helping you learn German a little?

hot cloak
#

Kaffee ist gut, aber ich kann nicht schlafen deswegen.

#

Ja.

sand spoke
#

Mine too 😃

#

It's really an invaluable resource

hot cloak
#

Natürlich.

sand spoke
#

I learned german from my mom but stopped speaking it after like age 5-6 when I started to become self conscious

#

So I understand it really well but can't speak as fluidly as I'd like, and I think I have an accent but I don't know how much of that is actual like inability to pronounce vs. fluidity in speech and prosody

#

I'm somewhere like B2 level

hot cloak
#

Ich kann kein Deutsch sprechen überhaupt

#

Ich bin A2

sand spoke
#

Ich kann überhaupt kein Deutsch sprechen

#

I think it would help with word order if you look at some german sentences and literally translate them

hot cloak
#

Entschuldigung für mein scheiße Deutsch

sand spoke
#

So you develop a recognition of the word patterns

hot cloak
#

Yeah that should help

sand spoke
#

So for example: I can absolutely no german speak

hot cloak
#

Kein is no?

sand spoke
#

I have it not fast learned

hot cloak
#

I thought it was not?

sand spoke
#

Well "I can speak no german"

#

Means several things

#

I cannot speak german, I can speak no german

#

kein is like "none"

#

But the point is in german you don't have the word "cannot" in that sentence

#

You say "I can absolutely no german speak"

hot cloak
#

Ich brauche schlafen jetzt, tschüss!

sand spoke
#

Tschüss

#

"Ich muss jetzt schlafen gehen"

#

I must now sleeping go

hot cloak
#

Scheiße.

sand spoke
#

oder "Jetzt brauche ich schlaf"

#

Now need I sleep

#

I'll shut up now, night

ocean robin
#

I have no idea Foxxo, I think it's one of my personality traits 🤔

#

Is it a bad thing?

hot cloak
#

no, it's a good thingo

pine ginkgo
#

nah

hot cloak
#

so what about learning german today

#

🤔

#

I have a good sentence for you

#

@ocean robin

sudden panther
#

Is it "foxxo is my favorite person in the whole world and I want my German to be as good as hers one day."?

cold vessel
hot cloak
#

damn can you read my mind

#

arrememe

sudden panther
#

Of course.

hot cloak
#

I'm impressed

#

freaky weirdo

#

anyway

#

"I have been dancing since I was 14 years old, when my best friend dragged me to an after-school dance class. "

ocean robin
#

I can't Foxxo, I will have to go in less than 1 hour to take my train yo head home and then I'll celebrate my brother's birthday. I don't have so much time.

#

But I'll try to do thay as soon as possible...

hot cloak
#

#

ocean robin

#

sudden panther
#

Yess.

hot cloak
#

#

Flopptsch is taught at Luxembourg schools

opal sequoia
#

Ich war als ich 14 war tanzen haben wenn meine beste freund war nachschleppen mir zu an Hinterschwarm Tanz erstklassig.

opal sequoia
#

ocean robin
#

LOL

cold vessel
#

An hour should be enough

sudden panther
#

Silly henbri. Floop can get about 6 words done in an hour.

#

8 if she's extra concentrated.

ocean robin
#

Ich habe getanzt, seit ich 14 Jahre alt bin, wenn mein bester Freund mich zu einer nachschulicher Tanzklasse packt.
oh I don't have much time to reread that aaaah

cold vessel
#

Can I ask how you found that verb in the last part? 🤔

ocean robin
#

Huh. Looked for wrong verb. GG Flaps.

#

Wait, I'll edit that.

cold vessel
#

What did you search for instead?

#

"grab"? 🤔

ocean robin
#

yeah

cold vessel
#

@hot cloak

#

I'd rather not explain stuff I learned like yesterday 😅

#

Uhh

#

@sudden panther ?

sturdy shadow
ocean robin
#

LOL

cold vessel
#

Why are you showing as offline 🤔

#

Can you fix the verb, @ocean robin? And if no one else has done it by then I'll try to explain the mistakes I see

ocean robin
#

oh yeah okay

#

But there's no "to drag sb." Only "to drag away" and verbs with particles like that

hot cloak
ocean robin
#

OH MY GOD

#

GOOD JOB FOXXO 👌

hot cloak
#

👌 Rubyfish

cold vessel
#

Well, I don't know if this actually leads to the correct verb, but in the English version there's a preposition that could be inserted without changing the meaning

ocean robin
hot cloak
#

just don't use the literal translation

#

flopps

ocean robin
#

Welp, I have never used this verb so much to know which preposition I should use upside_cat

#

lol yeah

hot cloak
#

try to translate it to french

#

and then to german

#

as solet said

ocean robin
#

In French, ah okay. thinking_cat

#

So okay, I know the meaning now

#

mmmh what preposition could be correct with this verb

hot cloak
#

which verb did you choose

#

don't say packen pls

ocean robin
#

Well I didn't choose one yet

cold vessel
#

How's that verb coming along, flappy

ocean robin
#

I don't find it thinking_cat

#

Drag along?

cold vessel
#

Yeah, to me that seems like the same thing

#

But like I said, no clue if that leads to the correct verb in German 🤷

#

But if it doesn't I guess foxis will let you know

Wooo I got summoned to see a magnificent tee-shirt

#

Tee shirt best shirt. mmlol

#

Not to be confused with tea shirt. Which is just disgusting.

ivory jolt
#

why is tea shirt disgusting

ocean robin
#

what the heck

sudden panther
#

Because it's covered in tea. Unlike tee-shirts which are uh. Covered in tees?

ocean robin
#

You've lost me, Arrem

sudden panther

I always do, don't I? mmlol

It's T-shirt, not tee-shirt. 😛

If I were taller than a house, then my house would be way too small.

whats the use of a house? to protecc u from rain. if you are that big, the rain would be too smol for you to care => no house needed

no i'm mainly laughing at the fact that i said that with no context at all to nobody and he still tells me to stop

interesting explanation

and also the fact i am gay

#

I would've done the same

whole rapids

why say it at all?

hot cloak

So stop

twilit garden

that's because it is unimportant to who you are saying it

last warning

fine

but i still find that hilarious that i got lectured on saying the word gay

#

okay cool

twilit garden

you got lectured by a gay person, accept it or go away

well i already said that i am gay so?

twilit garden

how does that change anything?

not much just saying that i am not against gays if i am one 🤔

Hello

What if you were gay so you can destroy homosexuality on the inside 🤔 hidden and dangerous

Hallo :)

#

Translate: I am currently learning word order in German.

red pewter
#

😮 that is for me

ocean robin
#

lel

whole rapids
#

it is for everyone but especially you

zinc seal
#

Ich lerne gerade die Reihenfolge der Wörter auf Deutsch

#

I can't spell :(

ocean robin
#

I love that genitive

#

🤔

cold vessel
#

Compounds are a thing 👀

zinc seal
#

Genetiv ist liebe

ocean robin
#

^

#

agreed with Henbri

#

and fok genitive

zinc seal
#

Es klingt wie es mehr Macht hat

whole rapids
#

I think that genitive construction works but there is a nice compound word for it

red pewter
#

Ich lerne gerade Wortfolge in Deutsch

#

@hot cloak join us :33

viscid cape
hot oriole
#

pretty good

ocean robin
#

ikr krypti

whole rapids
#

Wortfolge is new to me, I presume it's right tho

cold vessel
#

Is gerade like in this exact moment? Because in that case it seems a bit different from currently

red pewter
nocturne spruce
#

Well since we are talking about learning word order, how about you translate it with Gerade or Momentan at the start

red pewter
#

wait

#

am i right

#

because i don't want to move on before that

zinc seal
#

Gerade lerne ich ...

red pewter
#

Gerade lerne ich Wortfolge in Deutsch

hot oriole
#

Gerade is the most common word I'd say. Derzeit and momentan are also possible

red pewter
#

assuming I was right the first time.

nocturne spruce
#

I'm not sure about "in" but I assume it's correct

#

the rest is good

red pewter
#

what would you put other than in? I see auf- would that be the better option?

cold vessel
#

@hot oriole What I mean is that in English you could say "I'm currently learning X" if it's the thing you're learning this week or whatever. Does gerade work for that?

whole rapids
#

yeah, I think auf is more common

red pewter
#

okay, got it

#

when do you use in and when do you use auf?

hot oriole
#

@tight grail yes

cold vessel
#

Okay, thanks!

nocturne spruce
#

I'd use Momentan in that case, not sure if it makes a real difference in meaning though

whole rapids
#

okay good

#

NEW CHALLENGE

#

this challenge has a rule

#

you may not translate the sentence using the same word order as in the English sentence

ocean robin
#

lol rip

hot oriole
#

So I'm going to give you a quite formal translation: Ich lerne derzeit den Satzbau der deutschen Sprache.

red pewter
#

O_O

cold vessel
#

Oh btw, would using deutsch as an adjective have worked here? Ich lerne gerade deutsche Wortfolge?

mild otter
#

all I know is "I'm learning the german language" xD

whole rapids
#

Because of your stupidity we cannot give him the apple right now!

ocean robin
#

LOL WHAT

hot oriole
#

@tight grail I'd say that works fine!

#

I'd prefer Wortstellung though

zinc seal
#

Es ist wegen der Dummheit von dir dass wir ihn den Apfel nicht geben können!

#

Dass wir ihn zur Zeit den Apfel...

whole rapids
#

I am not sure about the main clause, but there's a mistake in the subclause

zinc seal
#

Hmmm

#

ihm?

hot oriole
#

yup

zinc seal
#

Dass wir ihm?

hot oriole
#

yes

cold vessel
#

Gerade können wir ihm den Apfel nicht geben, wegen deiner Dummheit

whole rapids
#

you could shorten "wegen der Dummheit von dir" too

hot oriole
#

Oder noch besser: Wegen deiner Dummheit

whole rapids
#

wegen is a preposition, @cold vessel, you could place it in the main sentence

cold vessel
#

Hmm, seemed messy

#

Is it weird to have it at the end?

yeah, I presumed you knew that and did not do so for stylistic reasons but dunno if that's acceptable

hot oriole
#

depends what you want to emphasize

#

i'd say turn the sentence around

cold vessel
#

I turned it around because Pferd said not to use the same word order 😛

hot oriole
#

all in all this was pretty good from you guys. 👍

#

i'm impressed

whole rapids
#

I don't think you're A level any more @cold vessel , you don't really seem to have problems with the sentences that are offered here

cold vessel

I'm A level for vocab, maybe a very weak B for grammar

hot oriole

@tight grail you are norwegian, right?

cold vessel

Yeah

can you do subjunctive stuff?

red pewter

henbri grew up so fast!

Konjunktiv 1 and 2? Not really

So you know two Germanic languages which should really help you with advancing fast in German.

Really? 🤔

shy bobcat

yeah

nocturne spruce
#

if both are pronouns then yes

whole rapids
#

yes, accusative pronoun before dative pronoun

cold vessel
#

TIL

viscid cape
#

Why does this creepy Dudenmeister only show up during grammar exercises

#

Fick weg

shy bobcat
#

😦

nocturne spruce
#

the reason you might think dative goes first, is that many sentences have a dative pronoun and a non-pronoun accusative

#

Kyrpt actually explained that to me 😄

whole rapids
#

anyway, you missed out about it but other than that it seems correct

red pewter
#

what about mine :?

nocturne spruce

yeah, you needed an über in there

no idea tbh

I think I'll stay orange for a while 😅

Pengu, can you correct Bell's?

nocturne spruce

Aufprallen is an odd choice isn't it?

whole rapids

if you can understand simple texts, even if mostly by context, I think you're good to go

red pewter
nocturne spruce
#

for hit?

red pewter
#

yeah

wintry rivet

but it's teh wrong one

ocean robin
#

rip

nocturne spruce
#

i'd use schlagen

red pewter

aufschlagen :?

#

okay

#

bell will try again

#

Cbell schlagt sich selbst in ihre Verwirrung

cold vessel
#

@whole rapids The thing is I can understand texts pretty well because there are so many cognates with my native language. That doesn't help me when writing though

fair iron
#

The Treaty of Westphalia was signed on the 24th of October 1648.

wintry rivet
#

aufschlagen and aufprallen both imply that something is moving and stoped because it hit something like a car or because something falls

ocean robin
#

oooooh ooooh mmlol

whole rapids
#

what kind of texts can you write?

nocturne spruce
#

Looks fine to me bell

red pewter
#

oh O_O

whole rapids

could you introduce yourself, for example?

wintry rivet
#

ocean robin
#

passive ouch

nocturne spruce
#

oh right, umlaut

#

I always miss typing mistakes :S

wintry rivet
#

what was the original sentence, cbell?

whole rapids
#

cbell hit herself in her confusion!

fair iron
#

Bonus points if you can tell me in which two cities the treaty was signed, Flappy. ^^

red pewter
#

^

nocturne spruce
#

either way, think of aufschlagen as if something is intercepted or interreptud by the hit

whole rapids
#

oh, I live near those cities

#

that's cool that they have such significance

wintry rivet
#

@nocturne spruce yep

red pewter
#

dict.cc needs example sentences of usage

wintry rivet
#

also it's ihrer

nocturne spruce
#

the only part in your sentence that I might be off on, is that sich schlagen is already a verb which means to fight/battle

#

but it should be fine to use reflexively

#

for the meaning you wanted

whole rapids
#

cbell can now reflexive

wintry rivet
#

@nocturne spruce but in that case it'S usually sich mit jemandem schlagen

whole rapids
#

cbell shall now improve these skills

nocturne spruce
#

yeah, makes sense

#

thanks for clarifying 😄

ocean robin
#

Der Staatsvertrag von Westfalen wurde am 24. Oktober 1648 unterschrieben. oooouf

But for treaties we use unterzeichnen

zinc seal

whole rapids
#

yeah, or say kapieren a lot and hope for the best

ocean robin

mh

red pewter
#

so, what word do I use other than imaginieren?

pine ginkgo
#

lol pferd

#

good advice

red pewter
#

That is something I cannot imagine: Das ist etwas, das ich imaginieren nicht kann.

ocean robin
hot oriole
#

it's not even the slang which is the problem there. they just invent new words. direct translations from english which do not make sense in german. @nocturne spruce

shy bobcat
#

imaginieren 👀

nocturne spruce
#

oh

red pewter
#

arizona i'm trying to fix it T_T

ocean robin

red pewter
#

sich vorstellen

nocturne spruce
#

yup

#

now translate

red pewter
#

it says sich etw. vorstellen

nocturne spruce
#

pay attention that this "sich" is Dat.

red pewter
#

so if i wanted to say imagine cats

#

or

#

oh

#

uh

#

so the etwas here is me?

ocean robin
#

Bell seems confusion again.

nocturne spruce
#

no

red pewter
#

what's the etwas?

ocean robin
#

something

nocturne spruce
#

it's what you are imagining

red pewter
#

that

#

i'm imagining that

nocturne spruce
#

sich is reflexive on you

ocean robin
#

And what about my sentence by the way? 🤔

wintry rivet
#

@ocean robin i'd say no

ocean robin
#

Yay, why? thinking_cat

whole rapids
#

the etw. is just to indicate that the verb can "rule", for lack of a better word, something and that something is accusative

red pewter
#

That is something I cannot imagine: Das ist etwas, das ich vorstellen nicht kann.

#

i don't know what to do with the sich

whole rapids
#

cbell forgot to reflexive

red pewter
#

i didn't forget

zinc seal
#

Use mich

hot oriole
#

The problem with those history sentences is that you need to know very specific words.

red pewter
#

mich isn't dative

#

....mir is though

#

That is something I cannot imagine: Das ist etwas, das ich mir vorstellen nicht kann.

whole rapids
#

and so cbell improved her reflexive

nocturne spruce
#

almost correct

whole rapids
#

not sure about your placement of nicht here

ocean robin
#

Ops, what kind of words I shoukd have put here, Atlas?

wintry rivet
#

gekämpft is wrong

ocean robin
#

ah 🤔

red pewter
#

That is something I cannot imagine: Das ist etwas, das ich mir nicht vorstellen kann.

hot oriole
#

ocean robin

How is it wrong though?

I did passive there 🤔

ausgetragen ...

wintry rivet

^

whole rapids
#

good job, cbell

ocean robin
#

Like is it a better word?

whole rapids
#

unless I am mistaken, your sentence is correct

wintry rivet
#

it'S the correct word

ocean robin
#

oki dokie

wintry rivet
#

if you'd want to use kämpfen you'D have to restructure your whole sentence

ocean robin
#

Die Rosenkriege wurden zwischen Henry VII und Richard III ausgetragen.

it was such an innocent looking sentence, but it ended up being so tough!

ocean robin
#

I want more lel

oh god

Kann man trollen sagen?

Good question mmlol

it's a very specific word though. you cant know that

zinc seal

Oder trolling ist trolling auf deutsch...

ocean robin
#

"tolling" 🤔

#

"toll" mmlol

zinc seal

Oops lol

twilit garden

"trollen" is already a german word - if you pronounce it like in English you can use it as a loanword

it's giving me like human sacrifices

Opfer?

ocean robin

AH LOL

red pewter

yeah i got that up but i think it's the wrong word

fair iron
#

Would the title of pharaoh be above king, or below it? 🤔

hot oriole
#

hmmh

ocean robin
#

🤔

red pewter
#

is Opfer right in context?

ocean robin
#

Good question tbh

fair iron
#

Opfer is either victim or sacrifice.

wintry rivet
#

i think a pharao was considered a god, kings not so much usually

twilit garden
#

Pharaohs were half-gods, so i'd guess it's higher than king

red pewter
#

so it's fine?

ocean robin
#

And Ramses II hatte zwischen 48 und 50 Söhne und 40 bis 53 Töchter.

sudden panther
#

Casca du Opfer. ❤

fair iron
#

Fair point. Pharaohs considered themselves gods, while kings saw themselves as being chosen by God.

ocean robin

But kings WERE gods too. Just look to Louis XIV.

Not quite.

not quite

and I really liked the plot so best having it in English initially

it only is the 5th option on the list T_T

well, I suppose it's not really clear either way

how often do you read German texts anyway, cbell?
