general-2

[thick charm]

No but have to talk to people who can, Arrem.

I don't think that was me

the answer is sugar

[tribal warren]

xD

it's the paraguayan war

I was taking a look at it recently to do some exercises and remembered how much England took a part on it

[thick charm]

And that

yeah

That war has a fancy name in German: 'Tripel-Allianz Krieg'

[tribal warren]

Oh that's actually another name of it

In portuguese

A guerra da Tríplice Aliança

[thick charm]

Yeah I think we stole that

Probably did

Good old López. What a fucking madman.

[tribal warren]

haha

Solano López was fucking crazy indeed

he put kids to fight

idk it's a pretty straight-forward name tho

since the Tríplice Aliança was Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay

[thick charm]

But whenever alliances are mentioned in the name of a war, you can be sure it's a big one.

[tribal warren]

yea it was pretty big

there was like this estimative

so many paraguayan men died that the woman:men ratio changed drastically

I don't remember what was the percentage

[thick charm]

I think they lost somewhere about 330.000 people

about 30.000 of them being men

no wait

[tribal warren]

I think it was the other way around, nah?

[thick charm]

of the leftover people, 30.000 were men

yeah

That's what I meant to say

fucked up

[tribal warren]

oh yea here

According to some estimates, Paraguay's pre-war population of 525,000 was reduced to 221,000, of which only 28,000 were men

[thick charm]

I wasn't too far off. Neat.

[tribal warren]

nice

at the beginning López was actually winning

but dude he was too crazy to continue after the alliance ganged on him

Do you know what Brazil did to get a strong army back then?

[thick charm]

No, but I do know that they blocked all of the rivers so Paragzay couldn't get any supplies through.

[tribal warren]

If you were a slave and fought the war, you'd be free afterwards

[thick charm]

Which was important since Paraguay industrialised the hell out of their country beforehand

Oh yeah, read about that.

[tribal warren]

yea that too

it had many factors

I guess the most important ones are: buying weapons from england and the slaves one, cause the army was really big

Which was important since Paraguay industrialised the hell out of their country beforehand

I think that's something that was kinda exaggerated in books

[thick charm]

comparatively

The war isn't talked about in Europe, definitely not in history class. I think I watched a documentary once that mentioned that.

[tribal warren]

I see

If you make a comparison with Brazil and Argentina it was pretty big as an industrialization

but some people think it was as big as The Industrial Revolution

[sudden panther]

No but have to talk to people who can, Arrem.
Oh. What kind of a hole are we even talking about? How do fires make holes in walls? 🤔

[tribal warren]

it doesn't even come close

[thick charm]

The fire ate part of a vertical supporting beam

Directly in the corner

[sudden panther]

Oh, that sucks.

[thick charm]

Nothing that an old bedsheet can't fix

[tribal warren]

dude paracetemol must be candy cause I take them and my headache won't go away D=

[thick charm]

(and tons of old newspaper)

[sudden panther]

Thought it was just a bit of paint and a dent that can be patched up easily haha.

[thick charm]

No, they had to cut part of the wall open too to get to the source of the fire

[sudden panther]

You're fixing a supporting beam with newspaper? 🤔

[thick charm]

Well not the supporting part

but the cold air coming in part

[sudden panther]

Ah haha.

[tribal warren]

@thick charm now your gonna be the person to listen to all my frustated attempts of understanding brazilian history! jk that might be kinda annoying

I'll stop it

[thick charm]

By all means, please do.

[ocean robin]

LOL

[thick charm]

I'd love to listen to you rant about history

[tribal warren]

what type of human is this

[thick charm]

One that doesn't get annoyed by people

[tribal warren]

aww

okay if I have anything to add I'll tell ya =p

[thick charm]

Please do!

[tribal warren]

I prefer br-history instead of european history and world history overall, my friends that like history usually say that I'm crazy but idk why I'm just that way

I'm not such a history nerd, though, I like more maths and physics

[torn latch]

ofc I miss you but okay xD @thick charm

[thick charm]

<3

[torn latch]

<3

[fair iron]

Nice nickname. ^^

[torn latch]

Hehe thankis

(praise him)

[fair iron]

(Praise Tolkien.)

[torn latch]

(praise Georgy)

[fair iron]

Why don't we meet in the middle and agree that the best authors of all time have R.R. in their name?

[arctic helm]

I'm an author?

[pine ginkgo]

yes

[tribal warren]

Wie üblich bittet Flappy Chuck um einen Satz zu übersetzen

?

[pine ginkgo]

nope

but close

[tribal warren]

hmm

[pine ginkgo]

same mistake as bell

[thick charm]

I was tagged?

[sudden panther]

I'm not sure if you know about this stuff yet.

[tribal warren]

is it comma stuff?

[sudden panther]

You were but it was a spoiler so I deleted it. ❤

[thick charm]

<3

[sudden panther]

No, it's grammar. Kinda.

[tribal warren]

it's the adverb right?

oh

[sudden panther]

Or not kinda. It is grammar, I guess.

The last part.

[tribal warren]

oh

should I try more or just wait for Flappy's solution?

cause I'm not sure of it either

[pine ginkgo]

flops learned about this

but not sure if she can concentrate on getting it

since she is a bit occupied with other stuff

so you prolly will see the correct sentence

not sure if that actually helps you that much tho

[sudden panther]

As a hint while we wait for Floops.

to translate isn't, or at least shouldn't be a verb.

[tribal warren]

Waiting for floops is hard I'm too anxious D=

oh

so "a sentence to translate" is a whole clause

[pine ginkgo]

uhh

not really

[tribal warren]

welp

[hot cloak]

you said: "as usual Floppsy asks Chuck to translate a sentence"

[tribal warren]

did I?

[pine ginkgo]

kinda

your sentence is not correct anyway

so it's hard to pinpoint a correct translation

as arrem said

it's grammatical

[hot cloak]

yes

[sudden panther]

Foxxo. You give him a hint without spoiling.

[tribal warren]

idk how to do this without using zu übersetzen

tbh

[hot cloak]

🤷

[thick charm]

Guys, Bell did it

You can too

[pine ginkgo]

i don't think berg knows this

so i don't think he will be able to do this on his own

[sudden panther]

Use zu übersetzen. But make the übersetzen something other than a verb.

[hot cloak]

where is her answer

🤔

[sudden panther]

In PMs with Chuck.

[hot cloak]

ah

[sudden panther]

He didn't want to spoil it for Flooper.

[tribal warren]

I don't know 😒

I feel A0 fuk

[sudden panther]

The question is, what does a verb do when it's not verbing?

[tribal warren]

I know I should separate clauses

what?

[pine ginkgo]

don't worry about this, berg

[tribal warren]

I wanna know about it though

[sudden panther]

Ahahaha. What could a verb become if it's not supposed to be a verb?

[tribal warren]

A noun?

[sudden panther]

Yes!

[tribal warren]

Übersetzung?

[sudden panther]

That's one way of doing nominalization. But we want a direct verb -> noun.

[tribal warren]

Übersetzen

[pine ginkgo]

Übersetzung would be Translation

[sudden panther]

Which you do by sticking a das in front of your verb and capitalizing it. Works every time! Fantastic results! Yeah.

[pine ginkgo]

we kinda want The translating

:P

[tribal warren]

OH

MY

GAWD

I didn't think of that

[sudden panther]

So.

zu + das Übersetzen = ?

[tribal warren]

zum?

[sudden panther]

Only zum? 😏

[quasi merlin]

Where did the "Übersetzen" go

[tribal warren]

oh yea

haha

I was just unsure about the declension

[obtuse forge]

yo C:

[tribal warren]

zum Übersetzen

[sudden panther]

zu = dative, yeah.

Oke, that should do it.

[tribal warren]

why zu, though

isn't it nachfragen

[pine ginkgo]

yes

[tribal warren]

or you mean zu with um etw. bitten

[pine ginkgo]

but that's for the object

you can't just say I ask to translate in german

[tribal warren]

oh

got it

Wie üblich fragt Flappy Chuck nach einem Satz zum Übersetzen

[pine ginkgo]

Ich frage, zu übersetzen

doesn't work

[tribal warren]

Is that good?

[thick charm]

It works

[pine ginkgo]

yea

you can only use your sentence

since you asked about um etw. bitten

[tribal warren]

what do you mean?

[pine ginkgo]

you changed your verb through this

for no reason :)

[tribal warren]

should I do it with um etw. bitten then?

[pine ginkgo]

sure

since that is the verb you originall chose

(it shouldn't change anything, if you don't fuck up) :D

[tribal warren]

Wie üblich bittet Flappy Chuck um einen Satz zum Übersetzen

[pine ginkgo]

gut

cause i think you may notice

this um is not the um which would be used in a subordinate clause

:)

bergi

[tribal warren]

yea

[pine ginkgo]

be nice

and translate this

[tribal warren]

it's from the separable verb

[pine ginkgo]

I want you to translate a sentence

:)

uhm, no

[tribal warren]

nop?

[pine ginkgo]

it's just the preposition for the verb

[tribal warren]

oh ok then

ok i'll be nice and do that

be nice and not shit all over me if I get it wrong?

[pine ginkgo]

sure sure

i am nice to low level learners

:)

[tribal warren]

:d

[red pewter]

ouch

[tribal warren]

it's fine

he's right

[hot cloak]

to all low level learners (except Flappy)*

[tribal warren]

I have something in mind but it's probably wrong

@pine ginkgo Can I use .., dass + (subordinative clause) or is that cheating?

[pine ginkgo]

yep

[tribal warren]

yep?

[pine ginkgo]

(you have to, in fact)

[tribal warren]

okay

educated guess

Ich will, dass du einen Satz übersetzt

[pine ginkgo]

nope

nice

[tribal warren]

mistype

o_o

[thick charm]

übersetzen tust

[pine ginkgo]

:P

[red pewter]

berg is so smart ❤

[tribal warren]

so that's correct?

[pine ginkgo]

yep

[tribal warren]

if it were "I want you to do translating"

then would it be Chuck's meme?

[pine ginkgo]

uh no

[tribal warren]

Ich will, dass du Übersetzen machst ?

[pine ginkgo]

this... is a bit complicated

kinda

[tribal warren]

hmmm

[pine ginkgo]

it's basically the same translation as for my sentence

berg

[hot cloak]

you need here another noun for "Translation"

[tribal warren]

your sentence?

luna I never get what you mean fuck

[red pewter]

I don't understand what dass is here for 🤔

there's no that in this sentence.

[tribal warren]

I think it's more like a set thing with I want something

Ich möchte, dass ...

[pine ginkgo]

yep

[tribal warren]

Ich will, dass ...

[pine ginkgo]

the thing is berg

[tribal warren]

okay I don't feel A0 anymore, A1 is good now

[pine ginkgo]

istranslating an action here

or a noun

[tribal warren]

uuh

[pine ginkgo]

as in

translating as a job

or as an action

[tribal warren]

action

[pine ginkgo]

then you can translate it the same way as my sentence

as in, don't have to change anything

[tribal warren]

Ich will, dass du übersetzt

?

[pine ginkgo]

yes

[tribal warren]

Gotcha

[sudden panther]

Umd wat?

[pine ginkgo]

yeah

[hot cloak]

how can I continue a sentence "Das Hauptargument dafür ist...." without using a noun

[pine ginkgo]

:D

[red pewter]

got it, thanks guys 😛

I don't think I'm gonna reach chuck's goal 😄

[pine ginkgo]

don't worry

especially for things you don't know

[hot cloak]

solet :'(

[pine ginkgo]

don't expect to do anything you don't know

eh

you can say something like

Das Argument ist, dass du doof bist

[tribal warren]

xD

I want to (honestly) reach B1 next year

[pine ginkgo]

what can be really detrimental is having expectations

[hot cloak]

yay ich dachte, dass man das machen nicht darf

[pine ginkgo]

you expect to be correct all the time

is... not healthy for learning

[red pewter]

chuck says if i work hard i can reach it this year D:

[pine ginkgo]

sure

[red pewter]

I just wanted A2 by the end of the year

[pine ginkgo]

if you work hard

[red pewter]

I'm working my hardest!

I do flashcards everyday

and I'm trying to find my grammar holes

like, that translating sentence made me realize I need to learn all the pronouns in the cases.

[pine ginkgo]

yep

that's good

[red pewter]

So I'll learn those tonight

[tribal warren]

I thought you were A2 bell

[pine ginkgo]

you can always find stuff that you can still improve on

it's important to take notes of the things you are bad with

[red pewter]

well last night chuck said I was so I guess I reached that goal :33

I am making a list!

[pine ginkgo]

eh

[red pewter]

imperatives and reflexive are on there too

[pine ginkgo]

my judgement of people's skills is biased anyway :P

[tribal warren]

we're all A1's in Luna's mind

[thick charm]

It's always up to yourself to decide how you see yourself in the early levels

[tribal warren]

=p

[pine ginkgo]

so don't ask me to judge you

[thick charm]

A1 and A2 aren't too different

[pine ginkgo]

A1-A2 are very hard to differentiate anyway

[red pewter]

well luna, where would you put me :?

[pine ginkgo]

somewhere after A1

[red pewter]

A1.2 :?

[pine ginkgo]

dunno

somewhere

[ocean robin]

and meh speaking of which

[tribal warren]

what about me

[pine ginkgo]

i kinda agree with arrem's assessment a few days ago, flops

if you could be consistent in actually applying your knowledge

you should be very close to B1

or actually B1

[ocean robin]

I am D:

[pine ginkgo]

if you could be consistent

[red pewter]

flaps is really good

[ocean robin]

wait what

[pine ginkgo]

but the thing is

you do so many basic mistakes

that's hard to see if you actually learned it properly

or you just randomly got it correct or wrong

like when we ask you for adjective endings

you usually get them all correct

but you can for the love of god not do it on your own

you also learned or... at least got to know some pretty cool grammatical structures for B levels

[tribal warren]

I used to not fail adjective endings, lately I've been failing em

I need more practice

[shy bobcat]

[red pewter]

berg I only learned them last night c:

before I looked them all up!

[pine ginkgo]

your problem is just... your application of your knowledge is very irritating

[tribal warren]

cool bell

[pine ginkgo]

oh, and also your dictationary look ups are hilarious

[tribal warren]

I learned them like last year

[pine ginkgo]

but that's nothing to do with your german ability

(well, not nothing)

[dire sentinel]

I feel like I have a similar issue

[pine ginkgo]

what i value for people reaching B or higher

is consistency

[dire sentinel]

Theoretically I know the grammar but in practice I don't

[tribal warren]

and sagacity

[pine ginkgo]

if you learn a grammatical concept, then you can apply it in most cases without many mistakes

[sudden panther]

Yes sagacity pls.

[pine ginkgo]

i get really sad if you get adjective endings incorrectly

cause those things can just be learned

[tribal warren]

Is flapps still here?

[pine ginkgo]

you just ask yourself, is it with or without article, is it a definite or indefinite article

[ocean robin]

yus

[shy bobcat]

👋 😄

[pine ginkgo]

is it singular or plural

and then which case it is

and then you are done with the ending

[red pewter]

there's 48 of them though D:

[pine ginkgo]

sure

[shy bobcat]

most of them are -en

[red pewter]

tries to defend only just learning them

[pine ginkgo]

but that's just what you have to learn

[red pewter]

hi arizona :33

[tribal warren]

I don't know whether I'm consistent or not, I don't do enough practice to know I guess

[pine ginkgo]

you can say i am affected by learning latin

[tribal warren]

but prob not

[pine ginkgo]

but if you learn latin

you have to take especially high care

[shy bobcat]

berg what even is your profile pic I just noticed somehow

[pine ginkgo]

to get everything correct

otherwise the sentence will be undecipherable garbage

[tribal warren]

What do you mean? It's always been the space doggo

[pine ginkgo]

german is lenient in comparison

as in, if you do grammatical mistakes, you can still get the meaning of the sentence

oh, and flops is not really good at explaining the things she learned

[sudden panther]

As for you Floop, your biggest flaw (if we ignore the constant floopsing) is that you absolutely refuse to talk or use the language independently. So it's very hard ot asses your skills or see how much vocabulary you know which is crucial for the A -> B transition.

[tribal warren]

Wait

Wasn't that for Floop?

[pine ginkgo]

huh?

[dire sentinel]

Damn just dig into flambé

[tribal warren]

I'm confused now

[pine ginkgo]

i mean, admittedly, it's not easy to get to use german if you are learner

[tribal warren]

were you talking about me or flopps, Luna?

[pine ginkgo]

but it's imperative that you will do

[red pewter]

flaps is gonna talk with me this week!

[pine ginkgo]

oh

flops mostly

the end was general

[red pewter]

she said we could voice 😄

[pine ginkgo]

at the point of "what i value"

it was in general

[tribal warren]

I see

[shy bobcat]

I mean sure it's hard but that's not = "I should just post and 👀 in deutsch-only"

[pine ginkgo]

it's really hard to judge you lately berg

since you haven't really done anything

[tribal warren]

cause Arrem then started his sentence with "As for you Flops"

[red pewter]

I expect my german to go from A1.2/A2 -----> A--

[pine ginkgo]

bell is pretty good at grasping new stuff

[tribal warren]

That's fair

Luna

[red pewter]

thanks Luna ❤

[sudden panther]

Oh never mind me, I'm just a meme. I was reading what Solet was telling bell and went for the "as for you".

[tribal warren]

I just want this shit year to end so I can start learning for real

[pine ginkgo]

yeah, no worries

it's your decision how much you wanna spend learning and stuff

i'm not telling anyone to hurry up or learning better

[tribal warren]

Well I wanna pass Uni too, so I gotta commit to that

cause that's harder I guess

[pine ginkgo]

... except flops sometimes

[sudden panther]

Well Bergo currently holds the server record for using only German for the longest time when told that he should only speak in German. He lasted a day.

[tribal warren]

but like learning german is something that makes me forget a bit about how shitty this year was regarding knowledge

[pine ginkgo]

for what arrem likes to see

[tribal warren]

hahah is that true?

[pine ginkgo]

that's why i proposed the daniel challenge originally for daniel

[dire sentinel]

I lasted half a day 🐸

[ocean robin]

@red pewter The best would be either today or Friday to be honest for voice

[red pewter]

we should have a day a month where we can't speak any english!

[ocean robin]

I am kinda nervous

[pine ginkgo]

using the language is a realllly good way to improve

[red pewter]

I can do either!

but you said you weren't feeling well, so maybe for your sake friday is better.

[tribal warren]

I like doing it, but the thing is, if I ever get excited like when I was talking about Hans Zimmer, I can't express myself as well as in english and it just frustates me

[red pewter]

I'm nervous too 😄 I sound like a potato

[pine ginkgo]

yeah, but whatever

berg

[tribal warren]

Or if I get cornered in a situation I don't know the verbs and stuff

[pine ginkgo]

that's why you learn

i told daniel that

but keep it as motivation

that you want to be able to do that in the future

[tribal warren]

I knoow

but I'm like in the middle of the conversation saying how great his OST's are

and then I want to add something that's important to me but I can't

[pine ginkgo]

let's say you really like his music

and then you try to talk about his music and find out

shit, i don't know the words

but so you wanna learn the words one day

and that's good enough for motivation

[tribal warren]

I guess

I did learn a lot in this server tbh

[pine ginkgo]

what really helps to learn to speak/talk

find something you really want to talk/speak about

that's it

[tribal warren]

Seriously, I didn't know basic expressions when I joined

[red pewter]

this server helps me more than everything else I do I think.

[tribal warren]

and also lots of vocab too

at the long run this server is really good

cause there are things that I never forget

[pine ginkgo]

i don't value vocab really much personally

but if you are bad at looking up stuff in a dictionary, you should value vocab more

[tribal warren]

I'm not bad at looking stuff up, but I don't want to

[pine ginkgo]

yeah :D

[tribal warren]

but I know a few words that I'm sure I won't forget

[red pewter]

vocab is just passive

[tribal warren]

like

Die Absicht

Die Beleidigung

[red pewter]

if i find a word, i just throw it into anki

and I'll learn it eventually

[tribal warren]

idk why some random words got stuck in my brain

[red pewter]

but grammar....that's active learning

[shy bobcat]

I care about learning vocab bc looking up everythig in a dictionary constantly is time consuming

[tribal warren]

^ Also you won't be able to do it in a convo

IRL convo

or at least you shouldn't

[shy bobcat]

this is also why my word choice is sometimes ... innovative

[pine ginkgo]

yeah :D

don't worry about it

if you have... innovative word choices

[tribal warren]

I want to be innovative but I'll butcher the language

[pine ginkgo]

it shows you are thinking about it

[tribal warren]

so I just use the dictionary

[pine ginkgo]

which is fine already

since you "kinda" found another way to express yourself

[shy bobcat]

manchmal mache ich es zweckhaft um luna zu verärgern

i remember you liked that word

[pine ginkgo]

though tbh

the most i am disappointed in, when dealing with you guys

is when you do the same mistakes over and over again

[tribal warren]

that's human though

[pine ginkgo]

i just like seeing you guys getting better

so it feels stagnant to me, when you do a mistake multiple times over a span of time

[red pewter]

i'm sorry 😦

[tribal warren]

Well, there are some things which we get wrong a lot of times before actually getting it right forever

It feels like that but it isn't

cause there are other things that we would commit mistakes but we don't cause we learned

[pine ginkgo]

but, everyone has different ways in how they learn

and i don't want to impose my thoughts on you too much

[tribal warren]

Honestly I feel like I learn a lot by making the same mistakes

[red pewter]

i'll think more about my word order!

[tribal warren]

At least with other subjects that happens

[pine ginkgo]

mhhh

[tribal warren]

But I understand your disappointment

[pine ginkgo]

let's say, it's also different if you make a mistake because you didn't know or because you were just careless

and if you notice it by yourself

[tribal warren]

like the übersetzt thing

[pine ginkgo]

tbh i wanted to rant a bit about that, because i am sure you know that

but you noticed it

and that's what i care about too

you do a mistake, but you notice it

[tribal warren]

Luna you're a weird dude I'll tell you that

In a positive way

sometimes you just kinda get mad at us regarding german and sometimes you get philosophical and caring about our german

it's pretty funny xd

[shy bobcat]

😄

[pine ginkgo]

meh

ask teeeis

[shy bobcat]

heh

🤔

que quieres de mí

[tribal warren]

no clue

[shy bobcat]

spanish level "don't even remember"

[tribal warren]

that's correct tho

[pine ginkgo]

he thought i didn't like him

cause i memed him with his shitty little mistakes

[tribal warren]

you're too self-conscious about your spanish danish boi

oh actually there's no accent

mi

[shy bobcat]

lel whenever I actually put a serious effort into a spanish sentence it's horribly wrong

[tribal warren]

but it's 99.99% correct

[shy bobcat]

and then when I don't try it's ok

[pine ginkgo]

but yeah, berg

i am a weird guy

i kinda remember a lot of what they have asked about

[tribal warren]

it's fine you're cool

[pine ginkgo]

for the active learners

soooooo

even if some of them don't remember

i sometimes do

[tribal warren]

I didn't understand a word you just said

[red pewter]

i think Luna cares about us in his own way ❤

[tribal warren]

he does

[pine ginkgo]

people who are active

ask stupid questions

i remember stupid questions

[tribal warren]

oh and you remember em

[pine ginkgo]

sometimes people forget the stupid questions they asked

[shy bobcat]

oh no pls don't tell me it's -e

[red pewter]

<------

[pine ginkgo]

and i don't like that very much

[tribal warren]

gotcha

[red pewter]

i'm sorry luna

don't hate Bell D:

[tribal warren]

I'll try and remember the stupid questions then

[pine ginkgo]

nah, it's just me

[tribal warren]

but it's fine if you trash talk me

at least I don't mind

[pine ginkgo]

he.

[tribal warren]

some people are quite sensitive tho

[pine ginkgo]

i do have my list of who i can trash talk with what

don't worry

[tribal warren]

I know whenever you trash talk you're just mad cause my german is terrible but you don't really mean what you say so its all good

in Brazil it's common courtesy to trash talk each other

[pine ginkgo]

it's not that your german is terrible

[tribal warren]

porra

[pine ginkgo]

more that YOU SHOULD FUCKING KNOW IT

[red pewter]

😮

[shy bobcat]

😮

[pine ginkgo]

y'know

[tribal warren]

yea

[quasi merlin]

[pine ginkgo]

it's really fun to see how people get better

i know i memed about teeeis taking his C role

but he really improved

[shy bobcat]

my german level is a meme

[tribal warren]

I feel like if I actually start talking german in VC with natives I can improve exponentially

but that's something for the future

[pine ginkgo]

probably

[shy bobcat]

since it was basically determined by korea saying "lol u gud"

[red pewter]

I need to voice chat

[quasi merlin]

Nah, only your choice of words is, Ari.

[pine ginkgo]

i am an advocate for more talking for every learner though

[red pewter]

my listening skills are BAD

[tribal warren]

You guys should hate it though

talking to A level's

[pine ginkgo]

not really

[red pewter]

someone can say something like "what's your name" and i'll be like, langsam, bitte ?!?

[pine ginkgo]

[sudden panther]

Botrekt.

[red pewter]

[pine ginkgo]

but they are so cute

[thick charm]

I'll try to show up tomorrow

[tribal warren]

must be frustating

[sudden panther]

I always chuckle a bit when someone comes and unironically uses B for ß.

[thick charm]

Can't promise anything yet

[pine ginkgo]

oh yeah

[tribal warren]

like waiting 4 hours for me to say "Today I ate spaghetti, it was really good" (exaggerating but you know what I mean)

[thick charm]

ich heiBe Chocc

[red pewter]

you all made fun of me for days

I remember it

because I didn't know there was a capital ß

[shy bobcat]

What's a der die das??? 😄

[thick charm]

Yeah but we do that with everyone

[pine ginkgo]

yep

[thick charm]

We make fun of everyone

[pine ginkgo]

yep

[thick charm]

ourselves and each other included

Like Luna

[tribal warren]

Chuck you'll love Brazil then

[thick charm]

piece of shit

[tribal warren]

you don't even know how much brazilians do that to each other

mocking each other is our best talent

[sudden panther]

I hate Luna and Chuck.

[thick charm]

dawww

I hate you too

[sudden panther]

🖕 ❤

[quasi merlin]

Arrem is the worst. ❤

[pine ginkgo]

mikuh is the best 💟

[shy bobcat]

You meme, everyone knows Mika is the worst 💙

[sudden panther]

Sometimes when I see that Mika is around, I don't even wanna say hi. ❤

[tribal warren]

but seriously, don't you have to be really patient to have a conversation with someone with my german level?

[pine ginkgo]

not really

cause you don't have to think

[thick charm]

We'd just talk over you

[tribal warren]

cause you don't have to think

actually

[pine ginkgo]

basic german is reaaaaaallly easy to grasp and to "auto-complete"

[tribal warren]

I'd have to think a lot to make a good sentence

[sudden panther]

We were patient with Floop doing math. I'm pretty sure we're qualified, Bergo.

[tribal warren]

True

[pine ginkgo]

your accents are the worst though

[tribal warren]

You guys must be

but idk

Hmm so that's your weakness

bad accents

[pine ginkgo]

yes

and bad microphones

[tribal warren]

My weakness is people that think that have good language skills but have terrible language skills

[sudden panther]

Eh, even a shitty accent doesn't take more than 15 minutes to get used to. Unless it's reaaally shitty. And it probably isn't.

[tribal warren]

my microphone is ok so I'm all good

[shy bobcat]

Ami-R verstärkt sich

[tribal warren]

Idk

Luna

[red pewter]

yeah my accent is bad 😦 anytime I try to say anything to my german friend the reesponse is "huh"

[tribal warren]

Is my accent shitty?

[pine ginkgo]

no

i mean

[tribal warren]

i mean

it is

lul xd git rikt zerstört

[pine ginkgo]

bad accents as in "this is a german word, but i don't know how to pronounce german, so i use my native accent"

[tribal warren]

Gruuppe

oh

[red pewter]

I can't make an r sound to save my life

[shy bobcat]

itch bin ahs america

[pine ginkgo]

some people only ever learn to write german

[red pewter]

so I've just used an english r 😦

[sudden panther]

Take my Japanese Übungsleiter. In the first Übung I struggled to understand the dude because "was" became "what", "ch" were "k" or "sch" and what not. But after a little while you get used to it and now I can understand the dude effortlessly.

[tribal warren]

Kryp has a really good german accent

I wanna get to his level

Don't tell him

[shy bobcat]

wee gates dear

[tribal warren]

shhhh

[pine ginkgo]

hahaha

[tribal warren]

You also sound really good Ari

[pine ginkgo]

krypti refused to say anything

when i asked him

[tribal warren]

from the readings we did

[red pewter]

D: i don't wanna speak anymore

[tribal warren]

He's shy, Luna

[pine ginkgo]

i asked him if he was better or worse than you, bergi

and he just eyed me

[tribal warren]

he'd say worse prob

but he's better seriously

[pine ginkgo]

he eyed me

[sudden panther]

I bet he screamed "OF COURSE I'M BETTER" irl.

[tribal warren]

Kryp doesn't value his skills

but he's really good

[pine ginkgo]

also tbh

if i hear a good accent from you

i automatically deal with you less harshly

[tribal warren]

Daniel also sounds pretty good

[sudden panther]

If he hears a good accent, he buys you a puppy.

[red pewter]

alright how to gain luna's love: talk more. got it

[pine ginkgo]

daniel has probably the best accent from anyone from a non-germanic language

[tribal warren]

oh that's why you're so harsh to me

[sudden panther]

If he hears a bad accent, he also buys you a puppy but he shoots it afterwards.

[shy bobcat]

is english not daniel's mother tongue 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

eh

fuck

i fucked up

[tribal warren]

haha

[pine ginkgo]

whatever

you know what i mean

[tribal warren]

[pine ginkgo]

[pine ginkgo]

[sudden panther]

"Daniel is ok" - Luna, 2017

[shy bobcat]

[tribal warren]

[sudden panther]

doggo* pls

[tribal warren]

what do you mean?

[pine ginkgo]

oh

i thought you thought about having a bit of power

[tribal warren]

cause he'd kick your ass?

[pine ginkgo]

cause i ask you for portuguese memes

[tribal warren]

sure

[pine ginkgo]

but i can just abuse the green monkey

if you decided to not do it

:P

[tribal warren]

fuk that's right

does he teach you insults though?

[pine ginkgo]

nah

i don't ask him if i got you

[tribal warren]

aah

yo if you wanna meme him up

and him eating acarajé

[shy bobcat]

I desire no thing less 😘

[pine ginkgo]

[tribal warren]

[viral thunder]

User SoletLuna has been memed for "being a big meme". ✅

[shy bobcat]

"a Frenchie" read as "flappy"

[tribal warren]

OH YOU DID THE CHANGE ARREM

[pine ginkgo]

[tribal warren]

Now you just gotta replaced the User for Flappy

[sudden panther]

No I just faked it.

[tribal warren]

[thick charm]

Also known as the perfect balance

A strong French accent in English makes me want to off myself.

I'm too shy for that shit

[red pewter]

vc vc vc vc

berg 😠 talk to bell

[pine ginkgo]

[tribal warren]

VC makes me uncomfy though

[red pewter]

I sound like a potato

[tribal warren]

[pine ginkgo]

for english it's... pretty hard imo

[tribal warren]

I can only VC with Macaco and Base

[tribal warren]

@pine ginkgo you didn't come to vc

[grave vessel]

Bis zur Unendlichkeit und noch viel weiter!

[pearl prawn]

okay

[grave vessel]

I’m watching my favorite Disney movies in German. I’d never heard that line before in German

[pearl prawn]

ah okay

just don't watch Anime in German, everything else you can heh

[grave vessel]

Even English dubbed anime can be pretty mortifying

[pearl prawn]

it's not because it's bad

it's because you watch 4 German dubbed Anime and had 3 times he Same voice actor

[grave vessel]

I see. Well for now I’m going to stick with things I know very well from childhood. Beggars can’t be choosers

[pearl prawn]

unless you let them choose if they want a Ham of cheeseburger from McDonals and then buy them one :)

[grave vessel]

Haha what?

[red pewter]

someone find me avatar in german k thanks

[red pewter]

IT HAPPENED FOLKS

[opal sequoia]

Hmm?

[clear pebble]

avatar im Deutsch?

[red pewter]

[clear pebble]

Ich brauche, gebst du mich?

[red pewter]

sicher 😄

[clear pebble]

vielen Dank!

[red pewter]

kein Problem!

[opal sequoia]

Oh cool.

[clear pebble]

When your german becomes suddenly fluent because you want something real bad

O_O

[grave vessel]

This confused me but you meant the movie Avatar in German?

[clear pebble]

Nein

The cartoon

[grave vessel]

I see. Still cool. Enjoy. I’m watching stuff in German too.

[red pewter]

what are you watching?

[orchid shale]

Schatten vom Found übernehmen.

[grave vessel]

Disney movies from my childhood. Movies that I know super well so it’s easier to translate the words I don’t know

[orchid shale]

Wie soll das bedeuten?

[ocean robin]

Um der Wahrheit willen hat Flops die Katze aus der Tasche hinausgelassen.
@viscid cape I move here. I have some problems on that sentence to be fair, which are:

• The "for truth's sake" really intrigues me. Is willen a verb in this case? Because in dict.cc it's not capitalised and it's pretty weird because it doesn't say it's a verb.
• and for hinauslassen, I am not really sure about it either... "to let sb. out" and "to let sth. out" isn't the same thingo, but let's say that the cat is someone in this case 🤷

[viscid cape]

I'm not sure if it's originally a verb, but it works as a compound preposition. Um ___ willen

[ocean robin]

And cases too 🤔 thought the cat was first Dat and then saw that the bag is also Dat so I think the catto is Akk

uh

[viscid cape]

Yes, I think you could use that verb in this case

[ocean robin]

wait

um + Gen willen

damn

Wait I did put it 🤔

[viscid cape]

You did

[ocean robin]

So dict.cc just says that "in the sake of" = um + Gen willen

[viscid cape]

Try another word for bag though, I meant bag as in sack

[ocean robin]

ah

[viscid cape]

yes, um + gen + willen is correct. Your version is good.

[ocean robin]

Der Sack?

[viscid cape]

Good

[fair iron]

Translating idioms, I see. ^^

[ocean robin]

Um der Wahrheit willen hat Flops die Katze aus dem Sack hinausgelassen. Like that?

[viscid cape]

Yes In this case it's literal though

[ocean robin]

now I wonder if the sack isn't Akk

[viscid cape]

Yes, the idiom is just "lassen", but that works well.

[ocean robin]

Wait... is it Akk?

[viscid cape]

You can answer that

[ocean robin]

I mean the cat goes away from the sack if I know the meaning of let out 🤔

or maybe it's the opposite

let me search a bit

Okay it's Akk, because the cat goes away from the sack

So then the cat is Dat

[viscid cape]

Let's go over that again

What is the motion/rest rule for?

[ocean robin]

For the prepositions which can have the 2 cases?

[viscid cape]

Good.

So your conclusion is?

[ocean robin]

Like if I remember correctly aus is among them

[viscid cape]

You don't remember correctly

[ocean robin]

wait

Is it always aus + Dat?

[viscid cape]

Yes

[ocean robin]

Maybe I am confused between aus and auf D:

[viscid cape]

It could be

[ocean robin]

So yeah

The sack is Dat

And the cat is Akk

Um der Wahrheit willen hat Flops die Katze aus dem Sack hinausgelassen. So we were here.

[viscid cape]

Yes, it's correct

[ocean robin]

[viscid cape]

👏

[ocean robin]

I am on fire today

[sudden panther]

I think you need to get the bible quotes out, Krypti. 😛

[fair iron]

[ocean robin]

[fair iron]

Translate this, Flappy: And God said unto John: "Come forth and receive eternal life." But John came fifth and won a toaster.

[sudden panther]

YES

[timber glade]

aJAFASJKDF

[ocean robin]

"But John came fifth and won a toaster" lol what

[fair iron]

Actually, I have an idea. Chica, would you like to give Flappy a sentence to translate? ^^

[timber glade]

OHHHH WHAT AN HONOR

[ocean robin]

:O

[timber glade]

LET ME THINK OF ONE

"Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?"

[ocean robin]

I love that sentence

[sudden panther]

K then translate it.

[tribal warren]

LOL

No Arrem, it's such a beautiful sentence, it needs to stay like that

[ocean robin]

Arrem I love you.

[sudden panther]

Bad Flooper. No mmlols. Only German.

[ocean robin]

Okay :^<

[viscid cape]

@sudden panther 😂

But it has to be translated using Goofy's voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czLYl4fM8yk
