Does anyone have materials about when to use articles like "die" up there to refer to something

[sour mesa]

@tribal warren thanks!

[fluid horizon]

:c

Ich bin schlecht gelaunt.

[fluid horizon]

Idek if this is right

[lean turret]

wieso hast du schlechte Laune?

[fluid horizon]

I don't know what that means

Why am I in a bad mood?

?

[lean turret]

Richtig.

[fluid horizon]

..?

[lean turret]

"Right"

[fluid horizon]

Oh...

[lean turret]

Oder "korrekt"

[fluid horizon]

Or correct...?

[lean turret]

Yep 😃

[fluid horizon]

Okay...

Lots of emotional things for me..

[lean turret]

sorry to hear that 😦

[fluid horizon]

I don't know how I'm going to move on from it either..

Also I started learning German two days ago so that's why I was confused by right

[twilit garden]

awww, @fluid horizon

[fluid horizon]

lol... danke...

[viral vale]

Entshuldigung Sly

[fluid horizon]

...?

[twilit garden]

If you wanted to say "I'm sorry (to hear that)", you would use

Das tut mir leid/(Es) tut mir leid, das zu hören.

[viral vale]

Das tut mir leid

[fluid horizon]

Uh...? Thanks...

[viral vale]

Hast du schlechte Laune? Oder nicht?

[fluid horizon]

What...

[viral vale]

Are you in a bad mood or not?

Didn't you just say you don't know why you're in a bad mood?

[fluid horizon]

No I know why

[viral vale]

Warum?

[fluid horizon]

What

[viral vale]

Why are you in a bad mood?

[fluid horizon]

Stuff in other servers...

[viral vale]

Ah. Drama

Well, like I said, sorry to hear that

[fluid horizon]

No particularly drama

Basically I invited someone to a server I like and they invited someone I don't want there and now I don't want either of them there

[viral vale]

block

[fluid horizon]

That won't fix it...

[lean turret]

Close down the server?

Also be more mindful of roles so that people can't invite :v

[fluid horizon]

I don't own the server

[lean turret]

Ah

[fluid horizon]

It's complicated...

But it was my happy place and now it's ruined

I could fix it if I just stopped feeling the way I am

I'll figure it out

Anyways

German :p

[viral vale]

Ist der Eindringling dein Erzfeind?

[fluid horizon]

Is the ? The what?

[viral vale]

Is the interloper your nemesis?

it's really okay to use a dictionary

[fluid horizon]

I'm mobile

[viral vale]

ok

[fluid horizon]

So like... it's harder for me to do that

Unless I find a good app

[lean turret]

Do you like like Person A, and view Person B as competition?

[fluid horizon]

Person A I invited so they could get help from the server so I thought I was doing good. I am jealous of person A still though and I get upset when jealous. Person A invited Person B who has come off as extremely annoying and irritates me and I get upset because they succeed too. Jealous again. Now hey are both there and talk about success and I'm just not getting anywhere and I get upset.

If I never invited Person A then nothing of the sort would've happened...

[lean turret]

What are you jealous of?

[fluid horizon]

Ehh. Lucid dreaming success and tulpa success.. I don't know if you know what the second is but it's not widely accepted

[lean turret]

Ah.

[opal sequoia]

Wow. 😮

[lean turret]

I mean, from what I understand of lucid dreaming, generally people have to be in a pretty chill mental state for it. And I'm not sure jealousy fits into that.

Chillllll.

😉

[fluid horizon]

I don't know how...

[viral vale]

blocking them seems like it would work

[fluid horizon]

All I see is others success where I don't have much

[opal sequoia]

So what kind of server is that that you're on?

[viral vale]

but, there will always be people more successful than you

always

immer

immer und immer

[lean turret]

Success isn't something to be jealous of, it's something to strive for

[viral vale]

Personally, I think lucid dreaming is overrated, and that tuple, from the brief thing I just read on WIki, sounds like trash

[lean turret]

Of course there will always be a little jealousy, but it can't consume you

[viral vale]

anything with magic in the word, is kind of trash

[opal sequoia]

Tuple.

[lean turret]

Also protip for my experience with lucid dreaming (and, on top of that, new age communities): half the time people who say they've been successful at something esoteric have been just making it up in order to garner favor

[viral vale]

Tulpa

people also lie to themselves

[lean turret]

Tulpen sind schön

[viral vale]

it's how all that mumbo jumbo about séances succeeds

[lean turret]

Yeah totally. There's great comfort in believing that you're doing something spiritual, and convincing yourself that it's happening is a big part of that

[viral vale]

people want to believe, so badly

[fluid horizon]

It's not spiritual to me

It's psychological

[viral vale]

i mean, I'm all for meditation and such, that's useful, but that you conjure up an actual imaginary friend

shut the door

[fluid horizon]

This is why I was avoiding saying what I was upset about

[viral vale]

Well. I'm just saying, maybe it's not worth being jealous

[fluid horizon]

No no. I have one. But that's not the issue really

At this point it's turned to irritation

[viral vale]

so your jealous their imaginary friend is cooler than yours?

Sorry, I don't mean to come off as aggressive

[lean turret]

It seems to be a weird thing to be jealous of. It's like if a devout Christian were jealous of someone who said they had a kickass prayer session.

[opal sequoia]

I was going to say, you should probably not be so condescending about it, Sturm, since Sly only mentioned all this stuff to explain why they feel bad at the moment.

[lean turret]

When comparing the "success" of your prayer is missing the point of it entirely.

[fluid horizon]

No no. They aren't imaginary. i won't try to convince you of that. I'm mostly jealous of the lucid dream aspect

[viral vale]

i used imaginary because that's what the wiki description used

[fluid horizon]

The wiki is wrong

Nobody uses it :p

[viral vale]

sure

[opal sequoia]

Anyway Sly, what is the overall theme of the server?

[fluid horizon]

But that's against the point. You don't have to believe in it.

[viral vale]

but yeah, it does seem like, why be jealous? regardless of my opinion about it

[opal sequoia]

I am just curious about it.

[fluid horizon]

The server is just a chill one for people who do these things

But they come in are just throwing success up

[viral vale]

is it like...a competition?

[opal sequoia]

But is there some category that it labels itself as?

[fluid horizon]

It's not a competition

[viral vale]

well, did you expect them not to talk about it?

[fluid horizon]

But I want to be as good.

[opal sequoia]

Like is it about Lucid Dreaming or some wider category?

[fluid horizon]

It's just for gaming and hanging out really

[opal sequoia]

Oh okay.

[viral vale]

i mean, it would kind of like be coming here and angry some people can speak german fluently

[opal sequoia]

I see.

[fluid horizon]

I mean there are places for that discussion there but it's just

I want to get to their level

[viral vale]

and what if you don't?

what if they are just better at than you?

[fluid horizon]

Well that very well may be

But I want to get to a level I am satisfied with

[viral vale]

well, that's a good goal

[lean turret]

It's not like an MMO though. Being at a specific level isn't the point. The point is the journey of personal development.

[fluid horizon]

But just their presence in the server is what was tainting it for me

Because I've associated negative feelings with them

[viral vale]

was there no one else as good at as them before?

[fluid horizon]

Oh there are people better than them.

It's just... them

[lean turret]

The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars...

[fluid horizon]

"Better"

I just don't like that they are there. I thought I was doing something good for them and myself but I'm only killing myself over what I did now.

[viral vale]

try blocking them

then you don't have to read anything they say

[fluid horizon]

I guess

Or

I get rid of the negative connotations

That sounds better

Because I did like them before they just brought only personal experience into it

[viral vale]

ja. Das wäre besser,

[fluid horizon]

Thanks for talking about it with my guys.

Ja, es ist.

[viral vale]

Keine Problem

[fluid horizon]

I can't wait to talk more and learn more later ^w^

[viral vale]

Ciao

Yea

[ocean robin]

I can't, sorry. :/

[fluid horizon]

Aws

[sharp willow]

about which subject?

[fluid horizon]

Just speaking in general xS

Like I'll try and find a way to say something back

Or understand what's being said

[sharp willow]

lol, i don't mind talking i have the time

Casual?

or Practice Room?

[fluid horizon]

Practice room please s:

Just gotta get my laptop out

[sharp willow]

ok

[sour mesa]

@tribal warren okay so you know a virtual object?

[tribal warren]

yup

it's very unusual

[sour mesa]

Yeah i had one question about it

Or was it a virtual image?

[tribal warren]

virtual images are way more common

[sour mesa]

Oh then it's that. When the image distance is negative

[tribal warren]

sure

[sour mesa]

What the difference with a "real" image and a virtual image except for the fact that the image distance is negative

[tribal warren]

the real image is formed when the light rays converge in the optical system

the virtual image is formed by extending the light rays

and the encounter of those that were made by extending forms the virtual image

[sour mesa]

Wow

Okay

[tribal warren]

lemme try and find a good image

[sour mesa]

I have this image on a virtual image

[pine ginkgo]

top notch quality

ehehe

[tribal warren]

yea

can't understand shit

[sour mesa]

Shhhh

[tribal warren]

xD

okay

what's the question?

btw I don't know if that's correct

[sour mesa]

Name two differences between a virtual and a real image i already have that the image distance is negative

[tribal warren]

oh ok

okay second one is what I told you

okay lemme use spheric mirrors

it's not lenses but it's the same shit

ok?

if Discord would upload my screenshots..

[sour mesa]

Ok i can try to understand 😂

[tribal warren]

ok these examples are kinda bad I need to find a google image on google

1 sec

Discord just won't upload my shit

okay

http://www.cs.bath.ac.uk/~pjw/NOTES/pics/lens.png

see this pic

see how the light rays converge into a point and the image is formed?

[ocean robin]

wat wat wat

[sour mesa]

That's a real image

[tribal warren]

yes

[sour mesa]

And i see it yes

Flopsy this is physics

[ocean robin]

Oh that's what I am learning in physics atm. 🤔

[sour mesa]

Wew

Whole world seems to be learning the same

Lol

[tribal warren]

http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/cms/cpg15x/albums/userpics/virtuallens.jpg

now here

the object is on the other side but it's all good

this one is a shitty example tbh whoever made this sucks at being didatic

[pine ginkgo]

haha

[tribal warren]

but see how you have to trace dotted lines that are made by extending light rays?

[sour mesa]

For me it's mostly turned around

[tribal warren]

no

[sour mesa]

Yeah i see

[tribal warren]

yea true

so that's why that image is virtual

[sour mesa]

Ohhh

[tribal warren]

because you have to extend for it to form, in the representation

[ocean robin]

tbh I don't understand how the 2 objects can be at the same side and it gives a virtual image 🤔

[sour mesa]

Because it isn't converging

[ocean robin]

You need the lens to do that

ah

[tribal warren]

https://osa.magnet.fsu.edu/tutorials/images/lensesmirrors01.gif

this one is really small

but you can kind of see it

(also idk why it's a gif)

[ocean robin]

lol what

[sour mesa]

Wew what

Why does it switch from + to -

[tribal warren]

that's just a notation

for lenses

[sour mesa]

Yeah i know

[tribal warren]

Converging and Diverging Lenses

[sour mesa]

But in that gif

[tribal warren]

the gif doesn't do a thing to me, it's just a solid image oO

[ocean robin]

🤔

It's an image for me too

[sour mesa]

It still has a gif extension

[tribal warren]

yea

okay

[hot cloak]

ew optics

[tribal warren]

do you understand that difference?

[sour mesa]

Yeah now i see, the light rays don't converge

[tribal warren]

understanding that the distance will be "negative" for the sake of the gauss' equation is good when you need to calculate stuff

but understanding the definition is the best to know how to draw things

yes

the extention of them do

[sour mesa]

So some don't?

[tribal warren]

yup

[sour mesa]

🤔

[tribal warren]

there are optical system that don't form image

when the rays are parallel to each other

[sour mesa]

That's true

But there can also be just no imahe

And the light rays go on forever right?

[tribal warren]

but as I siad

same shit

yea

http://prntscr.com/h7i306

my messages cut off there

[hot cloak]

are you doing thin lens approximations

[tribal warren]

most likely, 0x1

[sour mesa]

No 😅

[hot cloak]

or just imaging properties

[sour mesa]

Not approximations

[tribal warren]

oh nvm I thought you meant something else

[sour mesa]

Have to draw lenses with rays

[tribal warren]

it's just properties

[hot cloak]

oh lul

[ocean robin]

Hoi Nully.

[hot cloak]

heyo

[tribal warren]

So, Nola, we good?

[sour mesa]

Yeah

[tribal warren]

Ok dokie

"neato burrito"

[sour mesa]

Lol

You want a physics exercise?

[ocean robin]

Woooo.

[tribal warren]

Not really, I have to study other stuff now

or you mean flopps?

[sour mesa]

Flops can also do it

[ocean robin]

I'll try 👀

[tribal warren]

you guys have fun, I need to study more history

[ocean robin]

See you, have fun with history Bergo.

[sour mesa]

Dirk makes a photo of an elephant
- The elephant is 800cm from the lense
- The elephant is 3m high
- The camera object is 0.9375cm

- What is the image distance
- What is the strength of the lense

[tribal warren]

strength xD

[sour mesa]

Yeah

[tribal warren]

is that written like that or just a rough translation?

[pine ginkgo]

:D

[ocean robin]

Waaaaa.

Dunno if I am able to do this 🤔

[tribal warren]

do you know gauss' equation? If you do it's rather simple

[sour mesa]

I want the dioptric

[tribal warren]

anyhow

History

I can't get distracted

[ocean robin]

I remember it roughly ot I am even confusing it with another one...

[sour mesa]

You know S = 1/focal length?

[ocean robin]

No.

[sour mesa]

Where S is the "strength in dioptric units"?

[ocean robin]

I don't know that though. We didn't get that far.

[sour mesa]

Lol

It's okay

Ill show mine

length object=3m
object distance = v = 800cm
length image = 0.9375cm
image distance = b

N = length image / length object
N = 0.9375cm / 300cm
N = 0.003125

N = image distance / object distance
b = N * v
b = 0.003125 * 800
b = 2.5cm

S = 1/f
1/v + 1/b = 1/f
1/800 + 1/2.5 = 1/f
800/321=2.492211...
S = 1/f
S = 1/0.0249
S = +40 dpt

b = 2.5cm
S = +40 dpt

That's sad

Those formulas are cool

But she isn't Scottish

Scotland ain't french

[pine ginkgo]

nola

[sour mesa]

Yes

[pine ginkgo]

how does it feel to get flopsed

[sour mesa]

Undescribable

It's too much

[pine ginkgo]

welcome to the flopsed club

[sour mesa]

Like an anvil falls onto you

The feeling your life was a lie

[shy bobcat]

Feels like I've been stung by Lernquallen

[ocean robin]

Wait, to sting is a irregular verb?

TIL.

[shy bobcat]

Yep

Sting - stung - stung

[ocean robin]

Thanks Ari. 👍

[shy bobcat]

If you say stang then I'll be sad 😦

[ocean robin]

wow wot 👀

[shy bobcat]

Actually

Idk maybe it's dialectal

Hang on

[pine ginkgo]

what if she said stinged

[whole rapids]

sting stang gestungen

[shy bobcat]

Ok, stang is a rare variant for the simple past

But no one really uses it

@pine ginkgo more forgiveable imo

Using an irregular verb as regular because you didn't know = meh whatever

Using an irregular verb with the wrong irregularities = wot u doing m9

[whole rapids]

SUDDEN TEST:
The cow had been milked. @ocean robin

[ocean robin]

MILK LOL

[pine ginkgo]

eh

flops will take the wrong verb 100%, pferd

[ocean robin]

milked

🤔

[whole rapids]

grammar more important at the moment

[ocean robin]

I don't get the dict.cc descriptions tbh

[pine ginkgo]

i give you the verb

melken

[sour mesa]

Milked can have two meanings

[ocean robin]

Oki dokie, thankies Solet.

[whole rapids]

I think it's clear which meaning it is here

[pine ginkgo]

eh

pferd

if you look at the dict page

as a beginner

with no knowledge

it's... not easy

[whole rapids]

is this dict.cc?

I looked at leo

[pine ginkgo]

oh

[whole rapids]

oh right dict.cc has more

[pine ginkgo]

leo only has one?

at least it's the one we need

[ocean robin]

Die Kuh war gemilkt worden. I think?

🤔

[whole rapids]

no Denglisch

[ocean robin]

wut

[whole rapids]

look at the past participle closely

[pine ginkgo]

flops

look up past participles

if you don't know them

especially if it's a verb you don't know

you are not experienced enough to know if a verb sounds regular or irregular

so don't even try

[ocean robin]

okay rip me actually

[whole rapids]

can "melken" really mean "to fap" btw?

[ocean robin]

gemolken/gemelkt

🤔

[pine ginkgo]

heheh pferd

[ocean robin]

wat pferd

[pine ginkgo]

use your imagination

[sour mesa]

What

[pine ginkgo]

(no one use it though)

[sour mesa]

Pferd what

[whole rapids]

the entry on dict.cc for melken

[ocean robin]

🤔 🤔

[whole rapids]

and yeah I can imagine it now lol

do you know what "fap" is, Flaps?

[ocean robin]

oh yeah lol

I know eh. Brother told me for... some reason 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

... your brother told you?

[sour mesa]

Lmao what

Your brother told you

[whole rapids]

brother imparting important wisdom

anyway fix sentence

[ocean robin]

little brother

[sour mesa]

What

🤔

[ocean robin]

Ne, don't think he does that. He just discovered and told me.

[pine ginkgo]

cute

[sour mesa]

"he just discovered"

[ocean robin]

Die Kuh war gemolken worden.

He doesn't do it. I have faith on him.

[sour mesa]

Where on the internet does he spend his time

[ocean robin]

Well he doesn't go on that part anymore though. He did once and was caught. So now he just watches some innocent videos on YT.

[whole rapids]

gut gemacht; dunno which pp is more common so whatever

[sour mesa]

Rip. I only watch my series and yt

[pine ginkgo]

gemolken is more common

.. should be

[sour mesa]

:D

[pine ginkgo]

not really a verb we use that often anyway

[cold vessel]

You have faith in people, flappy, not on people

[ocean robin]

Prepositions

[pine ginkgo]

maybe she placed a cross on him

[ocean robin]

🤔

[pine ginkgo]

and that's how she has faith on him

[ocean robin]

how

[sour mesa]

I love the "Improv Anywhere" channel

Restored my faith in humanity

[cold vessel]

In Norwegian you actually have faith on people. In German it seems that you have faith at people

[ocean robin]

In France you have faith in people, it's just me who fucks up prepositions for no reason

[sour mesa]

https://youtu.be/1jXNkjjEuS8 i want to do that here :O

[obtuse forge]

hej C:

[viscid cape]

In a summer garden, a young romantic man with an inclination towards Idealism plucks a flower.

[ancient spade]

@obtuse forge where are you from, if I may ask?

[viscid cape]

An inclination to or for? 🤔

[shy bobcat]

to

[opal sequoia]

Towards.

[viscid cape]

😸

Okay then

[opal sequoia]

Usually "to" is for when you're using a verb instead.

[lean turret]

Is that text from something? It sounds a bit... unnatural

[red pewter]

I did not sign up for that

[opal sequoia]

Like "An inclination to pluck flowers" but "an inclination towards idealism".

[viscid cape]

It's from a german textbook, but the original is in German.

No one cared to try I guess 🤷

[red pewter]

I haven't slept

that's more than I can handle right now

i'll come back to it after a nap

[viscid cape]

Alrighto.

[lean turret]

I'd give it a go but the sentence sounds slightly off to me in English too

a bit stilted

In a summer garden, an idealistic young romantic plucks a flower.

Maybe it's the use of "inclination towards" when "penchant for" would make it sound better? idk i'm weird :v

[viscid cape]

Yes I think so, I'm not going to for most natural translation 😄 I just thought of it as an exercise for the orangies, so I tried sticking to the German version as close as possible

[ocean robin]

In einem Sommergarten, ein junger romantischer Mann mit einer Neigung dem Idealismus gegenüber pflückt eine Blume.
Not sure about the gegenüber and the "summer garden", I didn't get what you meant there so I just did a compounded word 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

no flops

bad flops

[ocean robin]

:(

[shy bobcat]

😦

[pine ginkgo]

can you please think about word order

[ocean robin]

nuuuh D:

[shy bobcat]

ok flappo

remove unnecessary comma

[ocean robin]

fuck why

[pine ginkgo]

cause where the fuck is your verb

[shy bobcat]

because it's uneccesary

[ocean robin]

uh

it's there 🤔

but yeah true

[pine ginkgo]

but where

flops

stop flopsing

[ocean robin]

At the end of the sentence and not V2

[pine ginkgo]

stop translating a sentence 1 for 1

and start thinking

[ocean robin]

I was thinking about thay first and thought it was weird 🤔

[thick charm]

you don't need the comma there

[shy bobcat]

yeah

[ocean robin]

nuiuuh

[thick charm]

Actually

scratch that

[shy bobcat]

once the useless comma is gone

[thick charm]

it's 100% wrong

[ocean robin]

woah

[shy bobcat]

🤔

[pine ginkgo]

you always say you know this

[ocean robin]

so uh wait that I change verb placement

[pine ginkgo]

but you do this mistake all over again

[ocean robin]

ikr

[shy bobcat]

great english as well

wait that I change

[ocean robin]

Until?

[shy bobcat]

while

😉

[pine ginkgo]

now fix it

[ocean robin]

lel okay

In einem Sommergarten pflückt ein junger romantischer Mann mit einer Neigung dem Idealismus gegenüber eine Blume. There.

[thick charm]

wait that I change

[shy bobcat]

🤣

[viscid cape]

Good job, pupil. Now, Neigung is usually used with a specific preposition

[ocean robin]

🤔

[mild cosmos]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4m1KHjp03M&spfreload=10

[ocean robin]

let me search a bit 🤔

Dunno if dict.cc gives the awnser eh

[mild cosmos]

Just wait until you see the harpsichord solo

Not that the accomplishment would be as magnificent without the entire trio though

[viscid cape]

Viola dude is headbanging more than a metal singer

😸

[mild cosmos]

Nobody headbangs as hard as da Gamba

[viscid cape]

@shy bobcat Help Floppo finishing this, I need to eat

[ocean robin]

I need halp 👀

[viscid cape]

Floppo, look for tendency to

[ocean robin]

oh

[shy bobcat]

😄

[ocean robin]

Heh zu.

[viscid cape]

or inclination to, should work as well

[ocean robin]

We like zu a lot.

[viscid cape]

Good, now finish.

[shy bobcat]

zu is a good preposition 😉

[ocean robin]

In einem Sommergarten pflückt ein junger romantischer Mann mit einer Neigung zum Idealismus gegenüber eine Blume.

Wait those were the only errors?

🤔

[shy bobcat]

where did gegenüber come from

🤔

[ocean robin]

idk

I thought of nach

Then gegen

🤔

[shy bobcat]

what is it for in the sentence "In a summer garden, a young romantic man with a penchant for idealism plucks a flower"

where do you see gegenüber

@ocean robin

flappo?

[ocean robin]

huh wot

🤔

[shy bobcat]

where do you see gegenüber

[ocean robin]

Where did the towards go?

[shy bobcat]

penchant for = inclination towards

sorry I back translated

from your German 😅

[ocean robin]

[shy bobcat]

Anyway

Why did you put gegenüber

[ocean robin]

Then no gegenüber or whatsoever?

[shy bobcat]

Do you see any gegenübers in the dict.cc lookups for "tendency to"?

[ocean robin]

🤔

[pine ginkgo]

you still need a proposition :)

[lean turret]

There's a different preposition, just not gegenüber 😃

[ocean robin]

mmmmh

Well I only see zu 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

soooo?

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo if you mean "zu" it says "zum idealismus" 🤔

she already fixed that

[pine ginkgo]

oh

lol

why is there gegenüber still in the sentence then

[ocean robin]

oh shiet

[shy bobcat]

because flops never actually rereads anything

she just replaces the one word

and says "good"

[ocean robin]

^ true

[shy bobcat]

stop doing that 😦

[ocean robin]

and I didn't get the point of Ari all along

🤔

[pine ginkgo]

THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU ASK

[opal sequoia]

the point Ari made I think you mean?

[ocean robin]

HOW COULD I

Well yeah Base.

[pine ginkgo]

IF YOU DIDN'T GET HIS POINT

[shy bobcat]

you didn't get the point that when dict.cc says there's no gegenüber, there's no "opposite" or "versus" in the english

[pallid kelp]

The Point of Ari

[shy bobcat]

why is there a gegenüber in your german?

[pine ginkgo]

ASK HIM WHAT THE FUCK HE MEANS

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin just remember

just because english has "toward"

does not mean "gegenüber"

prepositions aren't nice like that

[ocean robin]

Because I saw towards in the translation 🤔

[pallid kelp]

I love how there's people bantering over in general 1, I occasionally glance in here and sol is screaming at floppy

[ocean robin]

how convienent

[opal sequoia]

What's the point of Ari? 👀

[pallid kelp]

.

this one

[shy bobcat]

.

that one

[ocean robin]

Berzi pls.

[shy bobcat]

anyway flaps

since you've been screamed at to get rid of gegenüber

pls get rid of gegenüber

[ocean robin]

yeah I understood

In einem Sommergarten pflückt ein junger romantischer Mann mit einer Neigung zum Idealismus eine Blume.

[thick charm]

almost

You're almost there

[shy bobcat]

😄

[ocean robin]

yes yes yes

[thick charm]

what do we do when there's more than one adjective?

[ocean robin]

Comma?

x.x

[thick charm]

aye

[ocean robin]

fak why

[shy bobcat]

oh no, german punctuation rules 😱

I suck at those

[pine ginkgo]

i wanna scream at teeeis too

[ocean robin]

^

[opal sequoia]

It's a list.

[ocean robin]

why solet

🤔

[pine ginkgo]

but he is sneaky and hides his mistakes

[pallid kelp]

punctuation in german is pretty straightforward actually

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo porquééééé 😦

[opal sequoia]

Yeah, German has nice punctuation!

[shy bobcat]

sure but when you're used to the english clusterfuck it's weird

[ocean robin]

^ and french

[opal sequoia]

You just need to start thinking in German instead of English/French.

[shy bobcat]

also most of my learning german being spent on the internet

don't really see good punctuation there

[ocean robin]

My comma system is broken now, I just put commas at every subordinate clause now for some reason 🤔

[opal sequoia]

Well, yeah, you're supposed to do that, Flappy.

[pine ginkgo]

that is alright

if you actually do that

[ocean robin]

🤔

[opal sequoia]

Subordinate clauses alway have commas.

[pine ginkgo]

there is no subordinate clause in that sentence

[ocean robin]

I mean okay in German.

[shy bobcat]

I just throw commas wherever and hope that I don't get yelled at 😄

[pine ginkgo]

but you still put one

[ocean robin]

I am talking in English too, commas everywhere

[shy bobcat]

so @pine ginkgo what is my "sneaky mistake"

[pine ginkgo]

dunno

[opal sequoia]

If you basically use it only for sub clauses and lists, you are pretty safe with that, Ari.

[ocean robin]

In einem Sommergarten pflückt ein junger, romantischer Mann mit einer Neigung zum Idealismus eine Blume. So first this.

[pine ginkgo]

if you hide them

i cant find them

[pallid kelp]

English commas are a bit less straightforward :P

[lean turret]

English commas are rough

[shy bobcat]

english commas I have a feel for tho, being american and all

[pallid kelp]

and Italian commas I'm not even sure about myself tbh, so I don't know which language is worse

[opal sequoia]

Well, English commas are harder but people are way less likely to call you out for it.

So...

[shy bobcat]

I'm pretty sure they're just strict on commas here because it's a language learning server

I'm pretty sure people care equally little about proper punctuation in the rest of the internet in every language

[pallid kelp]

you should see some old orthography german book

[ocean robin]

Well it's better that we learn the good things instead of the bad ones. Always have good habits. 👌

[shy bobcat]

like how old

[opal sequoia]

Mmm, I don't think that's it. Language without commas being used appropriately is hard to read. It just happens that readable German is also correct German. But in English, it can be technically incorrect but readable anyway.

[pallid kelp]

or, should I say, you should, some old orthography, german books, see

[ocean robin]

TBH I don't even know how English commas work

[pallid kelp]

it's like the walken komma

[shy bobcat]

oh yes, of course I, had forgotten that, German just peppered everything, with commas way, back when

[ocean robin]

lel how

🤔

[mild cosmos]

Or have so many terrible habits that your lesser mistakes fly under the radar

[shy bobcat]

german pro tip: sometimes speak really bad german so your less-terrible-but-still-bad german looks good by comparison

[ocean robin]

Ariiiii please.

[opal sequoia]

Did you finish your sentence, Flappy?

[ocean robin]

Yep.

[shy bobcat]

🦊 Floopser 🦊 - heute um 07:28 Uhr
In einem Sommergarten pflückt ein junger, romantischer Mann mit einer Neigung zum Idealismus eine Blume.

[opal sequoia]

The kind vet helps the sick cats and dogs. Try to translate this without looking stuff up, Flappy.

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin since no one gave it to you, ✅

[opal sequoia]

Yeah, good work, Flappy.

[shy bobcat]

Flappy disappeared?

@ocean robin ? 😄

[ocean robin]

:D

[shy bobcat]

Translate Base's sentence 😄

[pallid kelp]

secretly looks stuff up

[shy bobcat]

ikr

[pallid kelp]

n'est pas?

[thick charm]

Der kindische Wetter hift den Stockkatzen und Doggen.

[ocean robin]

Der nette Tierarzt hilft den kranken Katzen und Hunden.

chocc

[thick charm]

I dunno I like mine better

[shy bobcat]

@thick charm wetter?

[thick charm]

[shy bobcat]

[ocean robin]

GET OUT.

[shy bobcat]

Der nice Veteran hilpft die kuhleng Katzem und Humde

[thick charm]

but well done Flops

[pallid kelp]

der Vettel 🏎

[ocean robin]

kuhleng

[thick charm]

you first tried it

[ocean robin]

🤔

[shy bobcat]

coolen

[ocean robin]

Thankies Chuck. ^^

[thick charm]

Alright

Next one

[shy bobcat]

"sick" is a slang word meaning the same as "cool" @ocean robin

[viscid cape]

Baboon is back

[ocean robin]

AH. TIL.

[thick charm]

What does that mean? Like a pillow battle but with pants?

[ocean robin]

LOOOOL

[shy bobcat]

hä?

@thick charm you know whatever flappy comes out with is gonna make even less sense than that 😛

[lean turret]

O_o

[thick charm]

I know, Ari

She was the one who wrote that sentence in the first place

that's the joke

[shy bobcat]

wot

[ocean robin]

When you don't have context it's weird

[shy bobcat]

🤣

[thick charm]

#stargazing

[opal sequoia]

Wow, you translated that without even using dictionary or anything, Flappy?

[ocean robin]

Yup.

[shy bobcat]

forgot the word for pillow

[opal sequoia]

That's pretty good.

[ocean robin]

^

[thick charm]

People were talking about 'parties in one's pants' and how 'we're invited'

[ocean robin]

exactly

and that's how it appeared

[pallid kelp]

it was pretty adorable tbh

[thick charm]

So Flappy chose to put her own spin on that

And guessed the meaning

[ocean robin]

🤔

[shy bobcat]

Oh lord

Aww

[thick charm]

And now we regularly beat each other up with pants

[shy bobcat]

😂

[pallid kelp]

v flappy trying to guess the meaning

[shy bobcat]

Oh, "pillow fight" but with pants

wasl ike

[ocean robin]

Are pants steel?

[shy bobcat]

pillow battle :thinkw

[ocean robin]

So uh, there's some words I don't know there, may I use the dict.cc?

[lean turret]

you may have won the pillow battle, but you'll lose the pillow war

[thick charm]

Pillow war sounds pretty lit

[ocean robin]

I lost the battle but not the war.

[thick charm]

That's odd

you being French and whatnot

[lean turret]

yeah dude. gonna rain down pillowshells with my pillowtillery

[opal sequoia]

Are you translating your pillow sentence, Flappy? 😄

[lean turret]

it'll be the floofiest war

[ocean robin]

Will do

[shy bobcat]

floofiest floopsiest war

[thick charm]

I love pillowtillery

I'll come up with a design for a heavy pillow tank

Kissenkampfwagen IV 'Daune'

[lean turret]

hart wie kruppkissenmaterial

[thick charm]

Ich schlafe nur auf Kruppkissen.

[shy bobcat]

Den Kissenkampf hast du zwar gewonnen, aber den Kissenkrieg verlierst du immer noch.

🛏🔫

discord pls add pillow emoji

😦

[ocean robin]

Was heißt das? Wie ein Kissenkampf aber mit Hosen? Hosen or Unterhosen? 🤔

idk

[shy bobcat]

Oh that's right, pants means underwear in some parts of the english speaking world 😂

The word "pillow" is fun to say 😄

[lean turret]

The Bettlagerung of Schlafengrad was a pretty major event in the great Kissenkrieg

[shy bobcat]

pillow pillow pillow 😄

[ocean robin]

[viscid cape]

"some parts of the english speaking world" aka anywhere but America

[shy bobcat]

yup

👀

[ocean robin]

I read that as "some parts of the english word speaking" 🤔

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin Let's avoid making this any weirder than it has to be, and assume "pants" is in the american sense 😉

so Hosen

[ocean robin]

oki dokie

[thick charm]

Oh wait so you meant wearing only wunderwear?

wunderwear lol

Wunderwaffe

[toxic urchin]

I thouth they were called under pants, not just pants

[ocean robin]

LOL

[pallid kelp]

Let's avoid making this any weirder
assume the american sense

[ocean robin]

wunderbar wunderwear

[pallid kelp]

🙄

koka kola, wunderbra

[thick charm]

I thought you meant we beat each other up with pants as our weapons.

Damn

That's way less exciting.

[shy bobcat]

@pallid kelp "like a pillow fight but with underwewar" is marginally more strange than "like a pillow fight but with trousers"

[toxic urchin]

wunderwear
is that what wonder woman's pants are called?

[thick charm]

wewar

[ocean robin]

Pants are made out of steel and we can kill each other with them. TIL.

[pallid kelp]

I like the under 🌊 ar version better

[thick charm]

My pants have to be made from steel

[shy bobcat]

flapps, next sentence to translate into German: Pants are made out of steel and we can kill each other with them. TIL.

[ocean robin]

PLOX

#best_of_flapps

[toxic urchin]

.urban flappy

[ocean robin]

NO PLEASE

[thick charm]

don't copy that floppy

in the same vein don't cappy that flappy

[pine ginkgo]

please no cappy that flappy chuck

[thick charm]

Wasn't going to

Unless she fucks up her next translation

Then she'll get a nice new Schnauzbart.

[pallid kelp]

fuchs up*

let's stay on topic here

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin ❓

[ocean robin]

I took food and then translation

[pallid kelp]

you... what?

[pine ginkgo]

She took food and then she took translation

don't you understand, berzi?

[shy bobcat]

[pallid kelp]

ceci n'est pas une phrase 🚬

[ocean robin]

I just ate a little and then now I translate. 😛

[shy bobcat]

well

not a whole lot of translating going on is there

[pine ginkgo]

and then now 🤔

[shy bobcat]

also ^^

[ocean robin]

I mean, here it is: Hosen sind aus Stahl und wir können einander mit ihnen töten. Heute habe ich gelernt. I love that sentence so much the fuck did I say.

[opal sequoia]

Il s'agit d'un texte en français parce que l'allemand est terrible et nous devrions tous parler français à partir de maintenant.

[pine ginkgo]

wir können einander mit ihnen töten

[ocean robin]

Wow Base tu ne devrais pas dire ça ici.

[opal sequoia]

Pourquoi pas, Flappy?

[shy bobcat]

[ocean robin]

🤔

[pine ginkgo]

teeeis

tu was

[opal sequoia]

Personne ne le saura parce que personne ne parle français.

[pine ginkgo]

es ist dein satz

:D

rette ihn

[ocean robin]

Oui mais quand-même 👀

[shy bobcat]

nein, es ist floppys satz

😛

uhh

[opal sequoia]

👀

[ocean robin]

ari

[pine ginkgo]

(ehehehehehehehe)

[opal sequoia]

J'attends juste ta traduction de l'allemand, Flappy.

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin ok, first off, wrong preposition

[ocean robin]

fuck

[shy bobcat]

look up "electrocute" and look for a translation with töten in it

[pine ginkgo]

(ehehehehehehe)

[ocean robin]

🤔

what

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo I tried, looking up "kill with" doesn't do anything

😦

[toxic urchin]

flopp's been using the f word a lot lately, we should ban her

[pine ginkgo]

ehehehehehehe

[shy bobcat]

why are you laughing so

[ocean robin]

lel

[pine ginkgo]

i might be too evil

[pallid kelp]

EHEHEHEHEHE

[ocean robin]

🤔

[shy bobcat]

ok, so what preposition is that

[pine ginkgo]

Ich kann dich mit einer Pistole töten, Teeeis

[shy bobcat]

😮 😱

[ocean robin]

👀

[shy bobcat]

wait mit works?

[pine ginkgo]

yep

[shy bobcat]

ok

scratch the durches then

@ocean robin anyway

[pallid kelp]

durches of hazzard

[ocean robin]

Churches.

🤔

[pine ginkgo]

did i confuse you teeeis? 😦

[pallid kelp]

kierche. Now you have to pronounce it in voicechat

kirche

dafuq is wrong with mich

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo no 😦

[pine ginkgo]

oh.

with mir

du berzi

[shy bobcat]

I just got confused by my self

[ocean robin]

RIP

[shy bobcat]

anyway @ocean robin mit ihnen, what do you usually do to say "with it" "with them" etc to refer back to a noun

[ocean robin]

🤔

[shy bobcat]

hint: not "mit ihnen", unless your pants are sentient creatures

[pine ginkgo]

uh

[ocean robin]

leeel

[shy bobcat]

in which case you have better things to do than translate german

😄

[pine ginkgo]

you sure i didn't confuse you?

[shy bobcat]

I'm very sure, da-words still exist afaik

😄

maybe I'm too rigid about german, maybe I'm in the club

I don't know anymore

[ocean robin]

Da-words :O

Damit?

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo I'm definitely certain I would say "damit" there.

But maybe I'm confused 😦

[hot cloak]

psss
