[shy bobcat]

😦

[ocean robin]

🤔

When?

[shy bobcat]

honestly tho the whole of france's school-age population seems to be memes

[fluid horizon]

How do you star things

[ocean robin]

shit memory starts again

[sudden panther]

For now it's a bit hard because we broke starring.

[ocean robin]

RIP.

[shy bobcat]

how do you even

😦

[sudden panther]

It should be fixed tomorrow, after which it'll be enough to simply react with ⭐ to any message you want to star

[shy bobcat]

how do you break starring

[sudden panther]

By doing database """maintenance""".

[ocean robin]

Well actually I found a math test I did one month ago and eh 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

flops how is your drawing?

[toxic urchin]

Do the math flops and quit flopsing

[ocean robin]

good and magnificent

[pine ginkgo]

so

where is it?

[sudden panther]

Let's all stop talking until she delivers.

[pine ginkgo]

i wanna see two crossed out cookies

[fluid horizon]

Can someone DM me with like what I should start with for this.

[shy bobcat]

for what

german?

heheheh

[fluid horizon]

German

[shy bobcat]

there's a lot of ways you could go about this

[ocean robin]

Circles.

[shy bobcat]

really just check #resources @fluid horizon

[placid heath]

Sly you should use a textbook

look for A1 textbooks

those are for beginners

[pine ginkgo]

uhm

[sudden panther]

Uh. So what do those 2 cookies that you crossed out represent?

[fluid horizon]

Well I looked at the wiki but I cant find the book

[pine ginkgo]

what just happened

[ocean robin]

Well we do like that in French to say that that is 6/3 🤔

uh

I dunno how to explain that

[shy bobcat]

Where did the 3rds of cookies come from in "You have 6 cookies, and 1/3 of said cookies are taken away, how many do you have left"

[ocean robin]

Holy I am so confused.

[sudden panther]

Wait.

Flops.

You have 1 cookie. And you eat 1/3 of it.

How much do you have left?

[ocean robin]

I must eat

2/3 eh

[sudden panther]

Okay that's a step in the right direction.

Go eat and we'll continue.

[tribal warren]

sorry

[toxic urchin]

27593737584 days later shell still be eating

[fluid horizon]

Okay Ill try to find a book.

[shy bobcat]

bin mir nicht sicher, welches schlimmer ist: flopdeutsch oder flopmathe

[fluid horizon]

It would be nice for someone to know what I'm doing though so I can takl with peeps S:

[shy bobcat]

😱

[pine ginkgo]

für mich gibt es da nur eine klare entscheidung, teeeis

[fluid horizon]

See like thats too much for me <n>

[shy bobcat]

@fluid horizon lol yeah you've started like, one day ago? don't feel bad 😄

[fluid horizon]

I know but I always get this feeling when I start things that I'll never make it :c

[shy bobcat]

😦

You will 😉

[pine ginkgo]

do you have a reason for learning german?

[fluid horizon]

No

[pine ginkgo]

mhh

[shy bobcat]

As long as you keep up with it you will 😉

[pine ginkgo]

that might become problematic

[fluid horizon]

I have German furry friends that I want to talk with

[pine ginkgo]

well, take that as a motivation

[fluid horizon]

I mean they can speak English but I want to talk with them in German

[shy bobcat]

So he is a furry

[pine ginkgo]

that should serve as a goal for you

[fluid horizon]

Also I want to go to germany

Possibly live there I dont know

[shy bobcat]

Going to germany 😍

[pine ginkgo]

that's also a good goal

keep those in mind

[fluid horizon]

And yes I am a furry lol.

[shy bobcat]

I started learning german coz of a trip to germany 😄

[fluid horizon]

Wanna see my "suit"?

I did it for Halloween mostly

[placid heath]

Combien des waevolis as-tu!

[fluid horizon]

Okay so time to do this lesson.

[ocean robin]

[fluid horizon]

Only problem is that I'm gonna have to learn to pronounce things and I get embarrassed from pronouncing things wrong Dx

[ocean robin]

Well I have 4 waevolis.

[placid heath]

@shy bobcat plz check

[ocean robin]

lel plox

[pine ginkgo]

don't be embarrassed

[ocean robin]

6-2

[pine ginkgo]

it's part of your learning

[fluid horizon]

I know but I get embarrassed still.

[shy bobcat]

Et ou sont les memetons 😦

[fluid horizon]

I didn't much when learning spanish because I figure that out quickyl I guess

[ocean robin]

^ can relate

[pine ginkgo]

shouldn't keep you from trying :)

[shy bobcat]

[ocean robin]

On s'en fout de ça

[shy bobcat]

👀

[ocean robin]

okay so if you want text correcting

[shy bobcat]

I don't actually know much french I just bullsgat with Google translate and Spanish

😅

[ocean robin]

god I knew it

Google took the infinitive for "you take" then

[opal sequoia]

Thanks Sly.😻

[red pewter]

@whole rapids

[ocean robin]

Oh where's that Bell?

[pine ginkgo]

what do X mean, flops?

[ocean robin]

🤔

[pine ginkgo]

eh

bell

sorry, flops

[ocean robin]

That she didn't know it yet?

[red pewter]

x is what I am weak or have no knowledge of

blue question mark means i don't really know what it entails

[pine ginkgo]

and what does i suck mean? 🤔

[red pewter]

iD:

[fluid horizon]

What @opal sequoia ?

[pine ginkgo]

and meh? 🤔

[red pewter]

meh is a little better than weak

but still not great

[royal pollen]

I might try to join you guys in a little whenever I get home

[opal sequoia]

For your ping earlier.

[red pewter]

did flaps get the math right :?

[pine ginkgo]

(no)

[ocean robin]

:(

[pine ginkgo]

(well, 1/2)

[whole rapids]

I see

you have much to learn

[ocean robin]

(can you give me this picture for that I do this as well Bell)

[whole rapids]

Je peux vous donner le lien vers la photo, Flops.

[opal sequoia]

Was habt ihr heute gegessen?

[ocean robin]

Dis pas vous s'il te plait, c'est stressant 👀

[whole rapids]

https://www.dartmouth.edu/~deutsch/Grammatik/Grammatik.html

[ocean robin]

thankies

[opal sequoia]

Flappu oder cbell?

[fluid horizon]

I'm too nervous to do this lesson >n>

[ocean robin]

Heyo Baserino.

[fluid horizon]

Like I want to do the lesson but my roommate is also here

[whole rapids]

your roommate can join in

[fluid horizon]

And we are good friends but I feel weird failing to say something correctly

[pine ginkgo]

after one day of learning

i assure you

you will fail a lot of times

[ocean robin]

I would say that? 🤔

maybe foreign wordos too eh

[whole rapids]

better master the Konjunktiv dungeon then

[pine ginkgo]

i like how you think you can do passive now, flops

[fluid horizon]

I mean yea @pine ginkgo

[ocean robin]

🤔

I think I can?

[pine ginkgo]

eh

looking at yesterday...

[ocean robin]

yesterday was Konj II 🤔

[fluid horizon]

But its different for me speaking wise

[pine ginkgo]

and some passive sentences too

[ocean robin]

ah

[pine ginkgo]

you really flopsed them up two days ago

and i don't think you have done much practice since then

so i am really reserved about saying you can do passive

[fluid horizon]

What is that

[pine ginkgo]

of course you have the knowledge about it

also in the sentence earlier in #general you were reserved about seeing it as passive or not too

[whole rapids]

QUICKFIRE ROUND:
The door is being closed.
The door was closed.
The door has been closed.
The door had been closed.
The door will be closed.
The door will have been closed.

[fluid horizon]

What's the yellow chart

[pine ginkgo]

the yellow chart shows some of the grammatical structures of german

[fluid horizon]

Present. Preterite. Present Perfect? Past Perfect? Future. Future Perfect?

Are those categories in German?

[pine ginkgo]

these are the tenses of german

which is described in the header of the diagram

[fluid horizon]

Cause I know them in Spanish

Oh I was just trying to remember if I named them right

[ocean robin]

Die Tür wird geschlossen. Die Tür wurde geschlossen. Die Tür ist geschlossen worden. Die Tür war geschlossen worden. Die Tür wird geschlossen werden. Die Tür wird geschlossen worden sein.

[whole rapids]

did you do it from memory?

[ocean robin]

Yep.

[opal sequoia]

Wow, can you teach me passive next week, Pferd?

[whole rapids]

good, you are remembering structure at least

[ocean robin]

:D

[whole rapids]

I thought you knew passive?

[ocean robin]

🤔

[fluid horizon]

Wait are you the one quizzing me on sein, Pferd? 🤔

[opal sequoia]

I've never read about it.

[pine ginkgo]

no, sly

[ocean robin]

:o

[opal sequoia]

Properly.

[pine ginkgo]

you are far from that

[tribal warren]

good job, Flopps

[fluid horizon]

Who was it?

[ocean robin]

\o/

[pine ginkgo]

oh

you mean that

[fluid horizon]

Okay. s:

[pine ginkgo]

yes, pferd was it

pferd is the dungeon quiz master now

[whole rapids]

oh right, well, I imagine you know the general idea

DRAGON

CONJUGATION OF SEIN FROM MEMORY GO

[fluid horizon]

?

[opal sequoia]

I haven't done German in about three months it's worth mentioning.

[pine ginkgo]

base

😠

[opal sequoia]

Well besides chatting.

[fluid horizon]

How did you do that box around them? I only know markdown.

[full falcon]

seine seinst seint seinen seint seinen

[whole rapids]

downgrade from B to A

[full falcon]

ok

:(

[opal sequoia]

Too many uni, Luna. 😿

[whole rapids]

you use this `

[ocean robin]

Wooooo Gauthier. 👌

[full falcon]

😎

[fluid horizon]

Is it just one?

[whole rapids]

and surround your text with it

[fluid horizon]

Just one? Cause I've used 3 before.

[whole rapids]

that's for code

just text with two

[opal sequoia]

You can use one or 3.

It doesn't matter.

[whole rapids]

Base can do quickfire round

[fluid horizon]

.
ich bin du bist er/sie/es ist wir sind ihr seid sie/Sie sind

I feel like I fucked up s:

[whole rapids]

Base, translate: @opal sequoia

The fox is being chased.
The fox was killed.
The fox has been eaten.
The fox had been hunted.
The fox will be remembered.
The fox will have been forgotten.

[fluid horizon]

Dont kill me D:

[whole rapids]

you have not goofed today

[ocean robin]

WHY FOXES

;_;

[fluid horizon]

Oh my name is still floof dragon lol

[whole rapids]

Kein besonderer Grund

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin Because 😄 🦊

[fluid horizon]

I was so confused

Nah I like floofdragon better

[shy bobcat]

Oh god we have two foxes 😱

[pine ginkgo]

teeeis forgot about foxxod already

[tribal warren]

keep it dragon so that we can kill 💾

[fluid horizon]

I mean my sona is a fox

[pine ginkgo]

😦

[opal sequoia]

I'm studying for my exam sorry. 😽

[thick charm]

I too am studying for Base's exam

[whole rapids]

psht,

[thick charm]

I'm gonna be the dude with the hint cards, Base

[viral vale]

Have ya'll been teaching sly this whole time?

[shy bobcat]

@fluid horizon lol k just thought it was funny

aww

[whole rapids]

Flops will just have to do it instead

[fluid horizon]

But my sona is a shapeshifter :p

[shy bobcat]

you changed it back 😦

[whole rapids]

no, we took a break

[fluid horizon]

No @viral vale

[viral vale]

Ha. Ok

[opal sequoia]

Thanks Chuck. 😻

[tribal warren]

Can I try, Pferd?

[fluid horizon]

I feel like I should do this lesson now 🤔

[shy bobcat]

@tribal warren Of course you can 😄

[opal sequoia]

Hide the notes in the toilet cistern, that's what the cool kids do.

[shy bobcat]

Whether Pferd will notice it is another question 😉

[viral vale]

Do you not have school sly?

[fluid horizon]

What?

[viral vale]

Aren't you like 13

[whole rapids]

of course you may try

[fluid horizon]

Uh

No

Im 18 lol

Im in college

[whole rapids]

so young

[tribal warren]

Der Fuchs wird gejagt Der Fuchs wurde getötet Der Fuchs wird gefressen worden Der Fuchs war gejagt worden Der Fuchs wird erinnert werden Der Fuchs wird vergessen worden sein

[viral vale]

Oh. Must jave been someone else

[fluid horizon]

Even if I was 13 I would be out of school by now 🤔

[viral vale]

Oh. Where are you?

[fluid horizon]

Maine.

[viral vale]

School gets out at 2:30? Wow

[pine ginkgo]

bergi you don't know

but

the verb for remember is sich an etwas erinnern

there are cases where you can say etwas erinnern, but that's not really standard

[fluid horizon]

@viral vale School gets out at 2

[tribal warren]

hmm I thought of that

[shy bobcat]

an etw. (akk) for the record ^^

[tribal warren]

but I didn't know how to phrase it

[viral vale]

Thats crazy

[tribal warren]

How would you phrase it?

[fluid horizon]

But Im in college so it is different for me now. Today I only had class from 10-12

[pine ginkgo]

i help you bergi

[fluid horizon]

@viral vale How so? Classes start at 7:30 and go till 2 where I went.

[shy bobcat]

I think I know it but sunmoon has agreed to help already 😄

[opal sequoia]

Was studierst du, Sly?

[pine ginkgo]

oh

okay, teeeis

you take it

[shy bobcat]

dammit

I think you'd say "an X wird erinnert" for "X is remembered"

And then you can figure out the rest

😛

[tribal warren]

uuh

[fluid horizon]

Uh.

[viral vale]

I remember school getting out later. But maybe i misremember

[tribal warren]

you don't use sich, right?

cause it's not the fox that's remembering

[pine ginkgo]

eh

i would use sich

but you don't have to

[fluid horizon]

Ich studiere Engineering**?** @opal sequoia

[pine ginkgo]

the notable verbs are

sich an etwas erinnern
jdm an etwas erinnern

[viral vale]

Do you?

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo that really is the same verb tho, just how e translate it changes

[twilit garden]

"erinnern" without "sich" has a notion of "somebody died and i am trying to keep them remembered"

[shy bobcat]

🤔

[tribal warren]

I've never done a sentence like this so I really don't know

sorry 😒

[pine ginkgo]

eh, not quite, nemo

eh

teeeis

fuck

[viral vale]

Keep them remembered?

[pine ginkgo]

my name calling is so bad today

[fluid horizon]

What does teeeis mean

[shy bobcat]

it means me

😛

[whole rapids]

it's one of Ari's many names

[pine ginkgo]

one is reflexive, the other one is not

though i know what you mean

[shy bobcat]

"jdn. an etw. erinnern" is "to remind sbd. of sth." and if one "reminds himself of something" then it is him remembering

you see

😄

[pine ginkgo]

sure

[tribal warren]

Der Fuchs wird an sich erinnert werden

?

idk

[pine ginkgo]

no

[tribal warren]

i seriously don't know D:

[pine ginkgo]

next hint

[fluid horizon]

Why do a bunch of people have banned in their names.

[whole rapids]

do it in active voice

[pine ginkgo]

the subject is either NULLor Es

[shy bobcat]

memes.

[fluid horizon]

Oh @opal sequoia I answered but added the ping after editting.

[tribal warren]

well, someone is remembering the fox

but it's not said who

[pine ginkgo]

yep.

[viral vale]

Who is?

[whole rapids]

yeah, try it with you doing the remembering

[tribal warren]

so I guess NULL?

kuuh

[pine ginkgo]

both possibilities in my hint work, bergi

[tribal warren]

Ich werde mich an den Fuchs errinern

?

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo actually where would sich go, since my phrasing was "An usw.usw. wird (es) erinnert"

[pine ginkgo]

that is I will remember the fox

[tribal warren]

yea

[thick charm]

Aaand now this is a telltale game

[shy bobcat]

so where would you put sich

[whole rapids]

yeah

[tribal warren]

Pferd asked for that

[whole rapids]

in active voice

[pine ginkgo]

eh

[thick charm]

Berg will remember that

[whole rapids]

now get rid of yourself

[pine ginkgo]

ah, i see

pferdi

[tribal warren]

kills myself

no

too dark

STOP

[thick charm]

Please don't get rid of yourself

[viral vale]

That sounds like an oath of vengeance @tribal warren

[whole rapids]

I am sorry bro

[thick charm]

We need you

[tribal warren]

Okok

[twilit garden]

An XXX wird sich erinnert/Es wird sich an XXX erinnert

[whole rapids]

(but you know what I meant)

[fluid horizon]

Hi Chuck

Oh so many people now xD

[whole rapids]

wow nemo with the spoilers

[pine ginkgo]

nemo spoilsack

[twilit garden]

that was at Ari

[pine ginkgo]

😦

[shy bobcat]

@twilit garden yeah was gonna guess the first one

😄

[tribal warren]

It's okay I didn't read it

[twilit garden]

that was not towards you two

[tribal warren]

I was derping

[pine ginkgo]

it's alright

[whole rapids]

discord needs spoiler tag

[thick charm]

Who will I laugh about when Brazil inevitably embarasses itself on the world stage again

[shy bobcat]

"An den bösen Arrem wird sich von der Flöppli erinnert"

[tribal warren]

ACTIVE: Ich werde mich an den Fuchs errinern

wait

in the passive voice

do you start with Den? oO

[twilit garden]

Sorry, i thought you were dealing with something different

[tribal warren]

since the fox is the object

[whole rapids]

you could

[shy bobcat]

You don't start with "den"

since there's a preposition 😉

[whole rapids]

orite you meant that

[tribal warren]

yea

An den

[whole rapids]

yeh

or the dummy pronoun

this is Passive dungeon Level 2 probs

[tribal warren]

dude this sentence is so weeird

[whole rapids]

I was trying to challenge Base

[fluid horizon]

DId my friend request not go through to you Chuck? s:

[tribal warren]

but you challenged me

[whole rapids]

you took it on yourself!

[thick charm]

I don't think it did

[tribal warren]

okay idk where to place wird though, the passive voice fucks my brain with Wortstellung

[thick charm]

Sorry Sly

[tribal warren]

I mean

sich*

[thick charm]

Let's try this again then

[fluid horizon]

Oh

[thick charm]

There we go!

[twilit garden]

and i'll keep my fuckin mouth shut

[shy bobcat]

Nemo said it, hang on let me grab it

[fluid horizon]

^w^

[ocean robin]

LOL NEMO

[fluid horizon]

My phone lost service during that lol

[pine ginkgo]

nemo, just keep your chest hair shut

not your mouth

[whole rapids]

Berg, remember

[tribal warren]

I was thinking "An den Fuchs wird sich errinert werden"

[twilit garden]

😭

[shy bobcat]

"An X wird sich erinnert" is the present passive @tribal warren

[ocean robin]

pats nemo

[twilit garden]

passive is with participle, not infinitive

[tribal warren]

yea typo

[twilit garden]

schluchz

[tribal warren]

Is that correct, though?

[pine ginkgo]

yep

[tribal warren]

okay, thanks a lot

[pine ginkgo]

try doing it with Es as subject

[tribal warren]

okay

[ocean robin]

What are we translating atm?

[tribal warren]

hmm

[fluid horizon]

Did I answer Base correctly?

[tribal warren]

Do I use daran?

[whole rapids]

Bergi is doing the challenge round

[tribal warren]

or am I making it just more complex

[pine ginkgo]

the latter

you use daran and shit if you wanna replace an den Fuchs and shit

[tribal warren]

ok

[pine ginkgo]

we are not doing any replacing

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin flop you made it back 😄

[ocean robin]

come on Base, I know you can do it :D

[tribal warren]

uuuuh

[ocean robin]

Made it back?

[tribal warren]

so the active would be

[fluid horizon]

I said "Ich studiere engineering." Is that right?

[pine ginkgo]

oh

stop bergi :D

[tribal warren]

what?

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin bergi is translating pferd's bonus round:

The fox was killed.
The fox has been eaten.
The fox had been hunted.
The fox will be remembered.
The fox will have been forgotten.```

[pine ginkgo]

the Es subject only works in passive

[whole rapids]

you can't translate it into English with the dummy pronoun

not directly

[tribal warren]

oh

so a rough translation is "The fox will be remembered by it'

yea?

or

[whole rapids]

no

[pine ginkgo]

the Es is some impersonal generic subject

[tribal warren]

It will remember the fox

[pine ginkgo]

like in It rains

no

[ocean robin]

Oh okay.

[tribal warren]

fuk

[pine ginkgo]

the Es is nothing

[whole rapids]

the es is a placeholder

[tribal warren]

yea

that's the thing

[whole rapids]

for the first position

[pine ginkgo]

if yo usay

[ocean robin]

It's an impersonal es, Bergo, I think.

[fluid horizon]

Ill come back in a second and try again

[pine ginkgo]

by it you reference something

[tribal warren]

An den Fuchs wird es errinert werden (?)

idk =c

[shy bobcat]

where is sich gone

[ocean robin]

^

🤔

[whole rapids]

fuck sich

[tribal warren]

fuck sich

xD

[pine ginkgo]

fuck german

do sich

[ocean robin]

lel okay

[pine ginkgo]

sound like a native

don't sound like a learner

[tribal warren]

so one question

does sich refer to the object of thinking

or the person that's thinking

[pine ginkgo]

try to place your subject at the position, where normally subjects are placed in most sentences :)

sich always refers to the subject

[shy bobcat]

To whom's remembering.

[pine ginkgo]

it's reflexive after all

[tribal warren]

idk

[shy bobcat]

the reflex in reflexive is related to the word "reflect"

it reflects back on the subject

[pine ginkgo]

Bergi

play Es

at the beginning of your sentence

and work from there

play lul

place

[tribal warren]

and still do passive?

[pine ginkgo]

yeds

[tribal warren]

how the fuck do I do that

I can think of it as active

[pine ginkgo]

what

[tribal warren]

Es wird sich an den Fuchs erinnern

[shy bobcat]

😦

[pine ginkgo]

ignore the active

it's not the transformation from the passive or vice versa

[tribal warren]

I feel like I'm floppsing

[pine ginkgo]

use Es as your subject

[whole rapids]

everyone flops in new ground

[pine ginkgo]

and work the passive from ther

[ocean robin]

Is that a compliment?

[pine ginkgo]

no

[shy bobcat]

no

[tribal warren]

xD

[pine ginkgo]

okay bergi

Es

what comes next in future passive

after the subject

[tribal warren]

wird

[pine ginkgo]

Es wird

we have reflexive

what comes next

[tribal warren]

sich..

[pine ginkgo]

Es wird sich

what comes next

[tribal warren]

uuh

the object?

[pine ginkgo]

which is?

[tribal warren]

den Fuchs

[pine ginkgo]

...

which is?

[tribal warren]

xD

[pine ginkgo]

what is our verb again, bergi

[tribal warren]

errinern

[pine ginkgo]

no

[shy bobcat]

No

[tribal warren]

an etw. sich errinern

[pine ginkgo]

what is our verb again, verbi

gut

what is our object

[tribal warren]

so an den Fuchs

[pine ginkgo]

Es wird sich an den Fuchs

continue

[tribal warren]

what

[pine ginkgo]

passive

[tribal warren]

how do I

wot

[pine ginkgo]

what comes next

future passive

[tribal warren]

errinert

[pine ginkgo]

what is missing

[tribal warren]

oh

werden

[pine ginkgo]

Es wird sich an den Fuchs erinnert werden

fucking piece of shjit

you could have done this alone

[fluid horizon]

I have a question

[shy bobcat]

Aye?

[pine ginkgo]

but good job, bergi

[tribal warren]

idk why that looks like active to me tho

[shy bobcat]

@fluid horizon ask away!

@tribal warren It doesn't to me 😉

[whole rapids]

because of the es probs

[pine ginkgo]

because you lack the SAGACITY

or experience

[whole rapids]

remember: it's a trick

[pine ginkgo]

:)

yeah

now that are two ways to form a sentence in passive

if there's no subject

you either ignore you have a subject lul

as in

An den Fuchs wird sich erinnert werden

or you place a dummy subject

[shy bobcat]

An den Fuchs wird sich erinnert werden- aw dammit 😦

[pine ginkgo]

Es wird sich an den Fuchs erinnert werden

[tribal warren]

no werden?

at the last one

[shy bobcat]

lel rip

[pine ginkgo]

:D

[shy bobcat]

😄

[fluid horizon]

I said "Ich studiere engineering." Is that right?

[tribal warren]

welp

first time I saw that

the dummy es in passive

[pine ginkgo]

it's alright

yeah

[whole rapids]

could you use daran in that sentence?

[tribal warren]

as in

[pine ginkgo]

but you shouldn't have had problems with constructing the sentence

tbh

you can, if you have another sentence refering to the fox

[fluid horizon]

Well Base asked me "Was studierst, Sly?"

[tribal warren]

Es wird sich daran erinnert werden

?

[pine ginkgo]

or rather explicitly saying Fuchs

Daran wird sich erinnert werden

[whole rapids]

, dass blah blah

[pine ginkgo]

works

but... woran?

you don't know it's the fox

[whole rapids]

oh woran

cool

[pine ginkgo]

don't forget

if you use daran, darin etc

you are replacing it

and create a pointer

but if there's nothing to point to

it fails

[whole rapids]

then we get grammar leak

[pine ginkgo]

yep

[shy bobcat]

or just very confused germans 😦

[tribal warren]

Es wird sich an den Fuchs erinnert werden

is there a good english translation for that?

it's still very confusing to me

[whole rapids]

nope

[tribal warren]

I can't understand it in portuguese either

[whole rapids]

no translation that would impart the same idea

[pine ginkgo]

The fox will be remembered

that's the translation

[tribal warren]

yea but

fuk

[pine ginkgo]

no buts

[whole rapids]

think about it this way Bergi

[pine ginkgo]

learn languages

[whole rapids]

that es

it means nothing

[pine ginkgo]

it's not 1 on 1 translation

[whole rapids]

it's just stealing the first position

dirty thief

[pine ginkgo]

you translate it to the equivalent that conveys the same meaning

[fluid horizon]

Does anyone wanna talk? owo''

[pine ginkgo]

not word for word or structure for structure

[shy bobcat]

yeah, remember "by Xing"?

can't translate that literally

but once you know the equivalent

😄

[whole rapids]

von arbeiten

[shy bobcat]

😦

[tribal warren]

So

[placid heath]

Was hab I verpasst so vong rnernes her

[tribal warren]

Es wird sich an den Fuchs erinnert werden
An den Fuchs wird sich erinnert werden

Same meaning right?

[pine ginkgo]

yes

[tribal warren]

ok

I prefer the latter

[whole rapids]

why would you prefer one over the other btw?

[tribal warren]

it makes more sense to me

[whole rapids]

sorry, I mean towards the natives

[tribal warren]

okay

[placid heath]

It changes the focus

The first one focuses on the act, the second on the fox

[whole rapids]

oh, that makes sense, cool

[tribal warren]

whatever comes first is the focus

usually

righto?

[pine ginkgo]

yeah

[shy bobcat]

usually

[placid heath]

You can still tweak it with intonation / gesture tho

[tribal warren]

Es wird sich AN DEN FUCHS erinnert werden

[placid heath]

How to Caps->Speak

are you yelling AN DEN FUCHS while whispering the rest?

That changes the focus indeed

But not on the sentence, rather on you

[tribal warren]

Ja

wir sind in der Bibliothek

[placid heath]

In a most unfavorable manner

[tribal warren]

[placid heath]

Bibliothek, soso

Wieder dieselbe 'Palast-Bibliothek' von letztens?

[tribal warren]

Jep

[shy bobcat]

@placid heath may as well ask, does "An den Fuchs wird es sich erinnert werden" work? With the dummy subject but the object in first position?

[placid heath]

not really

get rid of the es

then it works

[tribal warren]

@whole rapids I still have my HIDDEN PHASE-key in my inventory, right?

[whole rapids]

yeah, but you need to pass the Konjunktiv dungeon

[tribal warren]

I see

[shy bobcat]

doing it without the es was literally the first one I guessed lol @placid heath but yeah duly noted 😉

[tribal warren]

Well not now

[whole rapids]

yah, whenever

[placid heath]

oops

I have the short term memory of a goldfish

[pine ginkgo]

of a flopsfish?

or a goldflops?

[placid heath]

Nah. Flops has the short term memory of a silverfish.

[whole rapids]

goldfish have 3 month memory tho

[pine ginkgo]

shit.

uh.

memory of a Eintagsfliege!

[whole rapids]

good save

[placid heath]

Die hat ein mehrwöchiges Larvenstadium afaik

This is how @pallid kelp found her bf

And this is what berzi looks like every time i meet him

[pallid kelp]

hahaha

[shy bobcat]

nichsoblau 😦

[royal pollen]

Oh dear

[viral vale]

Really. What kind of jerk would keep walking if they saw a child stick in a tree

Stuck

[royal pollen]

The kind that hates annoying voices and has gone through so much stuff that they probably don't care anymore. Either one really

I don't see who would wanna do that though

[whole rapids]

it was me

[nocturne spruce]

which one looks better_

with the vowel marks or without?

[pallid kelp]

obviously without

[cold vessel]

Looks super messy with vowel marks

[tribal warren]

without

[nocturne spruce]

interesting

[tribal warren]

I swear my friend has a handwriting that looks like that...

writing in portuguese

[pallid kelp]

it's unsurprising that they're not used for everyday writing

[nocturne spruce]

I'm assuming portugese is not written from right to left

[tribal warren]

his handwriting is so bad

it isn't

[pallid kelp]

it's left to right latin

[tribal warren]

and it's not the arabic alphabet

[nocturne spruce]

Thing is, without vowel marks most people would not be able to read it

In this case it doesn't matter since I'm just writing for fun

[pallid kelp]

btw yeah, my handwriting looks a lot like arabic too

[nocturne spruce]

Oh, in a good or bad way?

[pallid kelp]

bad way

why wouldn't they be able to read it? Isn't arabic normally written without vowel marks?

[pine ginkgo]

my schreibschrift is horrible :D

[nocturne spruce]

That assumes you are competent at Arabic

It's like writing English without half the vowels

Day to day Arabic omits most vowels from pronounciation as well

That's why you can write without them

[pallid kelp]

I imagine most of the people reading Arabic are native speakers rather than learners

[cold vessel]

Tht ssms y r cmptnt t rbc

[pallid kelp]

so I wouldn't say most people wouldn't manage

[nocturne spruce]

While true, most natives struggle with Arabic

[sudden panther]

Bn hnbr.

[tribal warren]

natives struggle with arabic

omg

[nocturne spruce]

Myself included

[tribal warren]

arabic must be the devil

[pine ginkgo]

me too

[nocturne spruce]

I have a better grasp on German grammar than I do on Arabic

The only reason I can write correct Arabic is that it's automatic at this point

[pallid kelp]

if I had to guess, I'd say the quality of education is more at fault than the language itself

[nocturne spruce]

There are a ton of reasons

The Arab culture at the moment also hurts the language a lot

[pallid kelp]

and by the way, it's not unusual for natives of any language to not have an incredibly good grasp on the details of grammar and such

[pine ginkgo]

imagine berzi writing italian

🤔

[nocturne spruce]

People rush to teach their kids foreign languages before they are competent in Arabic

Which is unfortunate since it's a very beautiful language

[tribal warren]

mozzarella!

just kidding please don't kill me for the italian stereotypes

[nocturne spruce]

Berzi is writing an essay

[pallid kelp]

depends on what you mean by "rush". Young age is the best age to be exposed to foreign languages for long-term benefits, and, to my knowledge, no "upper limit" on how many languages it's best to expose young children to has been found

ah, mozzarella. I wish I could eat it xD

haven't eaten one since, like, may

[tribal warren]

provolone?

[nocturne spruce]

It's fine to teach other languages, but they actively sacrifice the chance to learn Arabic by trying to speak in English all the time

Many Arab families (particularly upper class) try to make English the language of their home rather than Arabic

[pallid kelp]

stop making me nostalgic of good cheese, Bergi

also you nickname is too similar to mine

[pine ginkgo]

similar

[nocturne spruce]

in what way?

[pallid kelp]

oh if you mean to speak that all the time then yeah, it's bad 🤔

[tribal warren]

is it?

[pine ginkgo]

nichsoblauzi

bergi

🤔

[tribal warren]

or berzi bergi

[pallid kelp]

bergi
berzi

[pine ginkgo]

preposterous

[tribal warren]

well it's lunie's falt

[pallid kelp]

i mean come one

on

auf

[pine ginkgo]

you can all stop using my nicknames

and it won't happen

smh

[nocturne spruce]

you don't even have berzi in your name

[pallid kelp]

it's my nicknickname

[tribal warren]

what about

Gorgonzola!

[pallid kelp]

ew, no

[tribal warren]

xD

one of my rules for food is: if it smells like dirty feet, don't eet

italian stereotypes remind me of this

[pallid kelp]

can't watch stuff rn

[tribal warren]

I love how italian sounds though, so no pointless memeing

[pallid kelp]

well I can't deny that it sounds nice for artsy stuff

but my knowledge of accents and the several prejudices I have towards some of them prevent me from enjoying it sometimes

[pine ginkgo]

i miss your emotes, berzi :(

[tribal warren]

welp

[pine ginkgo]

http://prntscr.com/h72u4u

[tribal warren]

you know the italian handsign?

I feel like discord needs an emoji with the handsign

the gesture

[pine ginkgo]

also rip old berzi account

[torn latch]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/375019914978918410/375025821670309898/unknown.png

[pallid kelp]

there are like a million gestures in italian, even regional ones

[tribal warren]

Oh

[pallid kelp]

you can't just say "the" handsign

[tribal warren]

Do you know which one I mean?

[pallid kelp]

probably this one?

[tribal warren]

Yup

[pallid kelp]

we have a couple gestures on the italian discord

what about it?

[tribal warren]

is that an emoji in discord?

[pallid kelp]

custom on the italian discord

[tribal warren]

oh

I wanted that =p

[pallid kelp]

there's only lame gestures among the regular emoji

although some are amusing because they coincidentally exist in italian

like

✊

meaning: to fuck

[tribal warren]

oh

[pallid kelp]

or

[tribal warren]

Italian is very based around being able to gesticulate, then

[pallid kelp]

🤘

meaning: you're a cuckold

term which I had to look up because I doubted there was a proper translation in English. Turns out there is but it's [dated]

[tribal warren]

I see

maybe if someday I'm somewhat good at german

[pine ginkgo]

what's the

[tribal warren]

I'll try italian

[pine ginkgo]

omg u cute and smol

handsign

[pallid kelp]

🤔

[pine ginkgo]

i can always do headpats

[tribal warren]

And then I'll change my name to Fabrizio!

[pallid kelp]

you can make this gesture but by kissing the tip of the fingers

[pine ginkgo]

but if there is a better way to italianize it 🤔

[pallid kelp]

it can mean several things, one of which would be appreciation of the kind you described

[tribal warren]

Quanto carino!

idk if that's correct 🤔

[pallid kelp]

quanto che

but still it's not something you would likely do referencing I dunno, a cute child. Not sure if there's a gesture for that

[grave vessel]

What’s a poetic way to say ”May your dreams come true” ?

[tribal warren]

I believe you gotta use Konj 1

[thick charm]

rule one of tagging luna club

never tag luna

[tribal warren]

Who tagged luna?

[nocturne spruce]

Chuck, would one use "Möge" here?

[thick charm]

Mögen

[pine ginkgo]

Mögen

[thick charm]

Plural

[pine ginkgo]

Plural

[tribal warren]

Konj 1 conformd?

[nocturne spruce]

yeah I misstyped

[thick charm]

Mögen deine Träume wahr werden.

[nocturne spruce]

my point was Konj 1

[thick charm]

or in Erfüllung gehen.

[tribal warren]

sorry luny won't tag you again

[grave vessel]

I was close. I would have used mögen deine Träume nun wahr werden

[tribal warren]

well that's correct

[pine ginkgo]

works too

but

where was the "nun" in the english one :D

but your version is fine

[grave vessel]

Im trying to break from literal translations I suppose

[tribal warren]

konj I is very complex

[thick charm]

ur very complex

[tribal warren]

Yea

I don't understand the formation of verbs in Konj I

IT'S TODAY

It's not today

I don't remember the days

[valid ice]

it is always today though 🤔

[tribal warren]
