[hot cloak]

[ocean robin]

[hot cloak]

yessss I'm back

[shy bobcat]

luna pls help, I don't want to teach flappy bad german

[pine ginkgo]

oh

that's what you wanted to do

[shy bobcat]

yes

[pine ginkgo]

but

you can still say mit ihnen

[shy bobcat]

🤔

[pine ginkgo]

or mit denen rather

but mit ihnen works too

[opal sequoia]

Ich nehme dir das Leben mit Hosen.

[ocean robin]

🤔

[shy bobcat]

whatever, I'm not so smart and I have 2/10 sprachgefühl

😦

[pine ginkgo]

:D

i think i did confuse you :x

(success!)

[shy bobcat]

I don't know, it's my sentence and flops' attempt at a translation

you haven't done anything

except make me try to explain

then laugh when I fuck up explaining

[pine ginkgo]

:D

okay, i have no blame in this then

thanks

:D

[slender rain]

lol

[shy bobcat]

I'll be honest, I had "(Unter)Hosen sind aus Stahl und wir können uns dadurch töten. HHIG."

I'll be honest
right after Ehrlich says something

😄

[pine ginkgo]

mh

dadurch würde nicht passen

... obwohl

geeeeeht

aber wäre etwas komisch

[shy bobcat]

Also genau sowie der Rest von dem was ich sage 😄

[pine ginkgo]

dadurch hätte eher die bedeutung von deshalb

in diesem satz

[shy bobcat]

joa

ok, wir können uns damit töten HHIG

[pine ginkgo]

was auch geht, aber nicht ganz soooo intuitiv wäre

(i mean i told you to take care of the sentence, so maybe i thought i animated you to look for "more" mistakes)

.x

[shy bobcat]

ich habe eh nie behauptet, dass ich gut sprechen kann 😄 ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Mit "damit" vs "dadurch"; das ist so ein "Deutsch ist nicht Englisch und kann niemals wie Englisch sein"-Fehler, aber einer den ich gemacht habe 😦

wenn flops richtiger ist als du

na ok, wie war denn flops' übersetzung?

@ocean robin repost pl0x

@ocean robin sorry for teaching bad german 😦

[viscid cape]

🤷 Keine Ahnung, was los ist

[pine ginkgo]

ich habe teeeis geflopst, der sich selbst flopste

😦

[shy bobcat]

Flappy hat versucht, "Pants are made of steel and we can kill each other with them. TIL" zu übersetzen, ich habe falsche Hinweise gegeben

Ich hab mich verflopst 😦

Den blauen Namen verdien ich nicht mehr 😦

>gr level a

[pine ginkgo]

well

[viscid cape]

Und was ist so schlimm daran Solet hat es korrigiert

[pine ginkgo]

what you wanted to say wasn't wrong anyway teeeis

just uuuh the implication was

:D

[shy bobcat]

may as well ask: is the "einander" the only actual flops

that flops flopsed

[pine ginkgo]

it's not actually a flops

[shy bobcat]

or is even that right

[pine ginkgo]

it just doesn't sound too good

[shy bobcat]

I overthought this way too much 😔

today is also not my day for good language tips, I told krypti that "inclination to" was correct

[viscid cape]

inclined to ist korrekt

[shy bobcat]

aber nicht in dem kontext da ^^

[pine ginkgo]

a better phrase would be

[shy bobcat]

"inclination to idealism" was habe ich denn gedacht 🤦

[viscid cape]

Es ist also nur natürlich, dass man erwarten würde, dass inclination to korrekt sei

[pine ginkgo]

und wir können uns gegenseitig damit töten

einander is not as common

but... as we have learned from reflexive verbs topic

einander can sometimes replace that

:D

[viscid cape]

Ich war derjenige, der es so zuerst geschrieben hat

Meinerseits hört sich "inclination to idealism" nicht schlimm an 🤷

[shy bobcat]

flappy's next sentence: Ari trusted Luna and thought too much and gave Floppy false "corrections" to her German

[ocean robin]

🤔

lel

[pine ginkgo]

(flops your sentence was correct, be happy!)

[shy bobcat]

yeah ^^

😄

[pine ginkgo]

(though it sounds a biiit weird)

[ocean robin]

(seriously 🤔 )

[shy bobcat]

(then again, mine sounded weirder probably)

[pine ginkgo]

(i wanted to test teeeis)

(but he flopsed)

[ocean robin]

(poor ari)

[pine ginkgo]

(i shouldn't do that 😦 )

[shy bobcat]

no you should

[viscid cape]

If you think he should, you should stop becoming a drag queen everytime he does it

[ocean robin]

👀

[shy bobcat]

blindly trusting the natives because they said something 😦

actually knowing german well enough 👍

[pine ginkgo]

(well, i made you think)

(and that's already a good thing)

(your corrections weren't wrong, just your reasoning :D)

[shy bobcat]

anyway, anyone got a good sentence that isn't a meme or meta for flap

[lean turret]

At the C-level I feel like I get that more often than not. The errors aren't necessarily completely 100% wrong, just also not 100% right :v

[pine ginkgo]

as long as it "looks" correct, it's fine for you :P

[shy bobcat]

isn't c2 basically "indistinguishable from native" tho

Which you are @lean turret

[pine ginkgo]

C2, but not C1

:D

[shy bobcat]

IK

[ocean robin]

lol Ari

People think I am native in English at the first sight and I am B2

plox

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo I added a second message bc I thought you might think I was talking about myself

[lean turret]

C2 is about as good as one can get without being native, but not indistinguishable

[viscid cape]

At midnight a philosophically minded man thinks of the meaning of the therebeing

[ocean robin]

[viscid cape]

Therebeing being my neologism

[shy bobcat]

"therebeing"?

[pine ginkgo]

therebeing :D

[ocean robin]

Therebeing?

wat

[shy bobcat]

Este no es una palabra

[pine ginkgo]

try to translate that literally

and i really mean literally

[shy bobcat]

IK what he's getting a

at

but

[lean turret]

There is actually a translation for that word though :v

[shy bobcat]

no una palabra

[ocean robin]

I don't

🤔

[pine ginkgo]

flops

translate there

and being

literally

[ocean robin]

yes

[pine ginkgo]

try it

[shy bobcat]

Dortwesen

[pine ginkgo]

x.x

[ocean robin]

🤔

[shy bobcat]

ik ik

that was a meme flops

[ocean robin]

Well uh.

[shy bobcat]

ok

what is "there" in german

what is "be" in german

[ocean robin]

Da is there and "being" eh wot.

[shy bobcat]

being

[ocean robin]

Sein?

[shy bobcat]

as in "to be" but in the gerund

yes

[ocean robin]

🤔

[shy bobcat]

now glue da and sein together

and you get...

[ocean robin]

Dasein?

[pine ginkgo]

🎆

[ocean robin]

[shy bobcat]

Yes.

[viscid cape]

She got that right way faster than I forebade

[ocean robin]

[shy bobcat]

Which means like "existence" but krypti is a meme.

[ocean robin]

AH.

[viscid cape]

I'm not sure it means existence

[ocean robin]

WELL THAT WAS WELL PLAYED THOUGH BUT WHAT.

[viscid cape]

Heidegger wouldn't agree I'm sure

[shy bobcat]

Der Begriff Dasein wird häufig in der Philosophie synonym zur Existenz gebraucht.
"The term dasein is often used in philosophy synonymously to "existence"."

That's about as "means something like existence" as it gets

[lean turret]

Just let's not get into semantic and philosophical debates on the difference between existence and being :v

At least not without a trip to the head shop first

[shy bobcat]

philosophische debatten auf deutsch 🤔 😄

[ocean robin]

🤔

one day

[shy bobcat]

während ich kaum einen satz korrigieren kann

[viscid cape]

I never thought about translating it as existence 🤔 It sounds awfully artificial

But anyway

If a reliable source says so

[shy bobcat]

@viscid cape well

At midnight a philosophically minded man thinks of the meaning of the therebeing
you added an extra the

you translated too literally

therebeing aside

[viscid cape]

an extra the?

[shy bobcat]

the meaning of the ❎ existence/"therebeing"

[viscid cape]

Yeah I see what you mean now

[shy bobcat]

english I can confidently correct at least 😅

[viscid cape]

I was just mimetising german

[ocean robin]

Um Mitternacht denkt ein philosophisch gewillter Mann von dem Sinn des Daseins idkabout gewillt but thanks dict.cc

oh wait

[pine ginkgo]

preposition

[ocean robin]

nuuuh

Wait.

an. etw. denken?

[shy bobcat]

yes

[ocean robin]

fak

[shy bobcat]

and mind your cases when you change prepositions

[ocean robin]

I am thinking about it right now

[pine ginkgo]

mhh, not sure if gewillt is a good translation here

[shy bobcat]

(I had a peek at the original sentence krypti went off of, I won't meme anything up this time)

[ocean robin]

[pine ginkgo]

gewillt is more like I am willing to do something

not sure if minded has a similar expression

if it does, then it works

[shy bobcat]

it doesn't really in this context

[pine ginkgo]

if not then i would advise for a new adjective

[ocean robin]

🤔

[shy bobcat]

my own translation used "nachdenken" but krypti's original didn't 🤔

[ocean robin]

wot 🤔

[shy bobcat]

but I'll go off what the original from the book had

[pine ginkgo]

... nachdenken?

ah

i seee

[shy bobcat]

yeah, that means "ponder, think about"

and that seems more like what you'd do

when thinking about the meaning of life

or whatever

but

the original sentence used denken

so flops, use denken

[ocean robin]

I am pondering about an + Dat or an + Akk

halp

[hot cloak]

Engenieurwesen=Engineering

[shy bobcat]

dict.cc should say this 🤔

[hot cloak]

Is it correct?

[ocean robin]

an. etw. denken 🤔

or maybe

[shy bobcat]

an etw.Akk. denken

is what I see

[ocean robin]

fak

[shy bobcat]

du meme

[ocean robin]

okay then

[pine ginkgo]

@hot cloak Ingenieurwesen

[hot cloak]

Yeah

[ocean robin]

Um Mitternacht denkt ein philosophisch gewillter Mann an den Sinn des Daseins

[hot cloak]

I am confused

[ocean robin]

so gewillt now.

[hot cloak]

There is another word with (schaft) as Suffix

[shy bobcat]

idk how to lead flops to the correct word umm

[pine ginkgo]

me neither

Ingenieurwissenschaft

[shy bobcat]

look up like-minded @ocean robin

[hot cloak]

@pine ginkgoIngenieurwissenschaft

[ocean robin]

Gleichgesinnt

[shy bobcat]

it's written as two words on my dict.cc but

whatever

[hot cloak]

So this is correct

[shy bobcat]

yes

gleich gesinnt

gleich meaning "like"

gesinnt meaning "minded"

[pine ginkgo]

both Ingenieurwesen and Ingenieurwissenschaft are correct

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin so

use gesinnt, that's the sort of "minded" we're after

[hot cloak]

@pine ginkgo Thanks

Now it is clear

[pine ginkgo]

np

[shy bobcat]

flappy?

I literally gave you the word, how haven't you done anything with it by now 👀

[ocean robin]

I am sorry, I am preparing thingos because I am going to leave in 10 mins

[pine ginkgo]

get flopsed, teeeis

[shy bobcat]

😦

dónde puedo entrar el club

[ocean robin]

BUT HEY DRAWING LESSONS ARE HERE AGAIN

I AM SO HAPPY

[shy bobcat]

flappy

focus

german pls

[ocean robin]

Um Mitternacht denkt ein philosophisch gesinnter Mann an den Sinn des Daseins

[shy bobcat]

idk my german philosophy terms and all that, but the original didn't use "Sinn"

[pine ginkgo]

gesonnener? 🤔

[viscid cape]

@lean turret Don't know why I think of John Cleese when I see your pic

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo no I mean "an den Sinn des Daseins"

it didn't use "Sinn"

[pine ginkgo]

oh

[shy bobcat]

for "meaning"

[pine ginkgo]

Bedeutung?

[shy bobcat]

It used the rather ordinary word for

yes

it used bedeutung

[pine ginkgo]

mhh

i can see why

[shy bobcat]

so, is flaps actually correcto again or

[pine ginkgo]

yeah

[shy bobcat]

coolio

the original was:

5. Um Mitternacht denkt ein philosophich gesinnter (minded) Mann an die Bedeutung (significance) des Daseins (existence; literally: being there).

[pine ginkgo]

significance would have made it more obvious

lul

[shy bobcat]

so what is the difference between an etw. denken and über etw. nachdenken

I thought it was like "think of" and "think about" but

you kinda questioned my nachdenken

[pine ginkgo]

i think about something

i ponder

[shy bobcat]

yeah which sounds (to me) like what one would do with the meaning of life

🤷

[pine ginkgo]

well

nachdenken is more an active

like

more "effort"

denken is more uh, just a thought without much doing

kinda in this context

[quasi merlin]

I'd use "nachdenken"

[shy bobcat]

I had Um Mitternacht denkt ein philosophisch gesinnter Mann über die Bedeutung des Daseins nach. so I got krypti's sentence's word choice to a T minus (nach)denken

[pine ginkgo]

(me too)

[ocean robin]

lel

[quasi merlin]

(can you denken an things you don't know, Lunaaaaaaa?)

[viscid cape]

Floppo why aren't you giving your opinion on semantic nuances

[shy bobcat]

krypti's english is a bit funky tho because he's translating painfully literally

[ocean robin]

🤔

[viscid cape]

I've heard that

[ocean robin]

Semantic nuances? What are those?

[shy bobcat]

"about the meaning of the therebeing" like what are you even doing

[pine ginkgo]

well, you'd normally use nachdenken for most philisophical contexts

[ocean robin]

THEREBEING

[pallid kelp]

dasein? 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

or things that require thinking

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo so wait, you'd use nachdenken

[ocean robin]

yep berzi

[pine ginkgo]

yes

[shy bobcat]

but you questioned my nachdenken

🤔

[pine ginkgo]

did i?

[shy bobcat]

maybe I'm imagining things 😭

[viscid cape]

I translated it as "thinks of" specifically to ellicit the denken an translation

[shy bobcat]

ich muss drüber nachdenken

[ocean robin]

[pallid kelp]

I always thought of nachdenken in terms of "to consider"

[ocean robin]

drüber

[shy bobcat]

"consider" is transitive tho

[pine ginkgo]

if i did question that, teeeis, i forgot about it lel

[shy bobcat]

so "bedenken"

[pallid kelp]

in terms of nuance I meant. I don't care about grammatical overlap

[shy bobcat]

yeah 😄

plus consider can also mean betrachten

[pine ginkgo]

why is flops mmloling?

[shy bobcat]

because she's never seen drüber and thinks I typoed probably

[ocean robin]

exactly

[viscid cape]

Flopp is loling

[pine ginkgo]

man

[viscid cape]

As in, acting like a loli? 😸

[pine ginkgo]

if flops would just stop being sassy

[ocean robin]

I am going to leave now.

[pine ginkgo]

it would be great

[ocean robin]

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin darüber daran darauf etc can -> drüber dran drauf

[ocean robin]

ah TIL.

[shy bobcat]

and then there are certain places where only like dran drauf work and not the "full" word

[pine ginkgo]

she probably laughed into her fäustchen, that a C guy like you did a mistake

[quasi merlin]

"Du bist dran!" (a certain place)

[pallid kelp]

there's also grade 🤔

though that's not standard

[shy bobcat]

even though chessed and nichtsoblauzrkr (and I lel) make mistakes a lot

in flops' mind c = infalliable apparently

[pallid kelp]

yeah I'm not very blue

[pine ginkgo]

none of you are

as long as i am here

:D

[shy bobcat]

😄

[pallid kelp]

it's just a stunt for my self confidence

[quasi merlin]

There's gerade, grade, gerad, grad, Berzi

[pallid kelp]

which sol likes to nibble at

there's also Gerard

[shy bobcat]

honestly my german felt better for a bit after I blued my name

[sudden panther]

Ban Flops and Berzi.

[pine ginkgo]

you know me, berzi

[shy bobcat]

then that went awa

[pine ginkgo]

[shy bobcat]

[pine ginkgo]

question is can i continue nibbling when we meet

[pallid kelp]

[pallid kelp]

speaking of changing colours, nobody seemed to comment on my new pic. I am offend.

[pine ginkgo]

what else is there to say

[pallid kelp]

in christmas 🤔

[shy bobcat]

because it's anime pic #3200

[quasi merlin]

Aan Bri

[shy bobcat]

usually I say "ban myself" when I flops up but this time was just embarassing because luna managed to get me to rave about nothing

[pallid kelp]

i feel belittled on the basis of my social preferences, ari

[pine ginkgo]

i only belittle you on your choice of waifus

[sudden panther]

Oh look Flops was being sassy and ended up being wrong for the 59385th time. Don't you love when that happens.

I guess it's rare, yeah, but not to the extent that you wouldn't understand it

[ocean robin]

Ah okay.

[fair iron]

My favourite word in German is Lichterloh.

[pallid kelp]

scimitar is another cool word imo

[ocean robin]

YES CASCA. YES.

[fair iron]

I've always been fond of albeit.

[viral vale]

no, that's true. but it's rare enough you wouldn't hear it unless you have a lot of contact with an english speaking community

[sudden panther]

Flops. Quick. You have 3 cookies and Berzi gives you twice as much. How many cookies do you have then?

[ocean robin]

Albeit. Sounds like Albert.

[whole rapids]

yah, I'd agree with that

[ocean robin]

AHHHHH PLEASE ARREM

[pallid kelp]

albeit is quite good

[fair iron]

It shouldn't, Flappy. ^^

[sudden panther]

Don't please me.

Give me the answer.

0x1 no

[cold vessel]

Was the cookie sentence for me?

[hot cloak]

:)

[whole rapids]

albeit is a sneaky word in how it's pronounced

[sudden panther]

Bad bot. ❤

[fair iron]

It's pronounced [all-be-it], Flappy. ^^

[viral vale]

like arbeit but with an L?

[ocean robin]

I am wondering if I am misunderstanding the question 🤔

[pallid kelp]

flour is also deceptive if we're talking about pronunciation. Or choir

[ocean robin]

I would say 9?

[hot cloak]

Eee

[sudden panther]

Good because you completely Flopsed it up an hour ago.

[viral vale]

Please present the present, presently

[ocean robin]

lel okay

[whole rapids]

well, guess we could go on all day about deceptive English words

[fair iron]

*many, not much.

[viral vale]

yes, someone should fix the spelling

[whole rapids]

abgelehnt

[pallid kelp]

I presently present to you a present, but only if you're present in the present

or something

[ocean robin]

All-be-it. Wow unexpected, okay. 🤔

tbh I don't even know my favorite word in French

[cold vessel]

Nach 14 Tagen hat Flops endlich das Keksproblem gelöst

[whole rapids]

I know it Flops

[ocean robin]

Phone is doing weird things.

🤔

[fair iron]

The present present presently presents today's episode of "Fun with Flappy".

[whole rapids]

can you guess what it is Flaps

it's not one word you like but three

[fair iron]

Have you encountered zenzizenzizenzic before, Berzi? ^^

[ocean robin]

oh yes

[fair iron]

Oh, almost forgot. Petrichor is also great.

[ocean robin]

this word

[pallid kelp]

sounds like something out of a bit of fry and laurie, casca. Not the word, the presently presents thing

[ocean robin]

I wonder how you would pronounce that lel

[fair iron]

Hop in VC and I'll answer that question for you.

[pallid kelp]

abotu the word, no I only heard it from you

[ocean robin]

[pallid kelp]

and I have no clue what it means because frankly, if that's not a made up word I don't know what is

[ocean robin]

Wow I would love to but it's 10 PM and I mustn't do a sound or I'll be caught.

bad floop

[pallid kelp]

petrichor is quite a nice word. And useful, if you're used to the climate of Sicily and like the smell of rain as much as I do

[fair iron]

You wouldn't have to say anything, Flappy.

[sudden panther]

BE CAREFUL NOT TO MAKE A SOUND

[ocean robin]

Oh I know my faborite French word.

[fair iron]

It was used before the terms exponent, coefficient, and power. It means to the eighth power.

[pallid kelp]

what an utterly useless word, quite frankly

[sudden panther]

no ur useless

[pallid kelp]

wait I just googled it

[ocean robin]

Pétrichor is the best French wors I have ever heard. Nobody uses it but it's beautiful.

[pallid kelp]

isn't it the 8th power?

[ocean robin]

Arren u harsh

[fair iron]

The zenzizenzizenzic of 2 is 256.

It is. I changed it, but then realised my initial statement was correct.

[pallid kelp]

I wonder what twisted language it is from

[sudden panther]

Quick Flops. What's the zenzizenzizenzic of 1?

[sudden panther]

Damn.

[fair iron]

Flappy.

[pallid kelp]

wow, she's a genius

[sudden panther]

Flops actually has a bit of sagacity.

[fair iron]

The French term Pétrichor is borrowed from the English.

Sorry.

^^

[ocean robin]

[sudden panther]

Rekt.

[ocean robin]

wow that's sed

[whole rapids]

what is this "sagacity" meme anyway?

[ocean robin]

BUT ADMIT THAT IT'S BEAUTIFUL

[fair iron]

It is.

[ocean robin]

...a word to described the smell of rain

okay but

[pallid kelp]

fuck, I just played myself

[ocean robin]

Beautiful.

[sudden panther]

Do you want the dictionary definition or this server's definition?

[fair iron]

Sagacity in the way that Arrem uses it is definitely not what sagacity actually means, so I'll let him explain. ^^

[whole rapids]

server

[pallid kelp]

apparently the zenzizenzizenzic ultimately derives from italian

[ocean robin]

Sagacity is to be pedantic.

[fair iron]

The dictionary definition is: The quality of having good judgement.

[ocean robin]

Ah ah aaaaaah. TIL.

[pallid kelp]

but it's ok because it's not my italian, it's tuscan

[fair iron]

So, Flappy, do you still want to learn how that word is pronounced? ^^

I would be the only one talking, so you don't have to worry about making a noise.

[ocean robin]

Yuuuus. I have my earphones. :D

[sudden panther]

Sagacity - a quality that everyone should have if they want to have any success in life. Every action you do is influenced by your sagacity. Especially your math and German skills. Telling someone that they lack sagacity is the worst possible insult.
@tribal warren can confirm

[toxic urchin]

And what does being pedantic mean flappy?

[whole rapids]

I see, thank you for the explanation

[cold vessel]

@whole rapids Here goes nothing: Als ich angesehen habe, er die Behälter mit farbigen Inhalten auf den Tisch gestellt hat, habe ich bemerkt, wie sie sich als Wasser bewegt haben.

[sudden panther]

How do I pronounce Enton, Casca?

[ocean robin]

plox no

[sudden panther]

Psyduck then.

[pine ginkgo]

word order, henbri

[ocean robin]

NO.

[sudden panther]

3 minute video of Enton saying ENTON then.

[pine ginkgo]

wait

actually

where's your conjunction

[ocean robin]

No I don't Casca and I should move to #voice-chat. 🤔

[cold vessel]

In the last part? 🤔

[pallid kelp]

daßß

ßßß

🐍

[pine ginkgo]

after your first comma

[whole rapids]

As reference: As I watched him place the containers with the coloured contents onto the table, I noticed how they moved like water.

[cold vessel]

I need a conjunction there? 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

well

is it a main clause

henbri?

[pallid kelp]

jsut say voice chat :P

[whole rapids]

you put the the verb at the end

[sudden panther]

Did you hear that @ocean robin?

[ocean robin]

What?

[sudden panther]

I have a better idea too. Psykokwak.

[ocean robin]

NO. NO.

[whole rapids]

need a Wiki for all these server memes

[pine ginkgo]

i see why he didn't place one though

but he should have :D

[ocean robin]

Boom that VC was great.

[cold vessel]

I'm getting confused by English again. Norwegian needs a conjunction there

[pine ginkgo]

yeees

fuck english henbri

[sudden panther]

I liked the part when he said "Enton"

[pine ginkgo]

listen to your roots

[fair iron]

I like English. :/

[ocean robin]

please stop

[cold vessel]

Als ich angesehen habe, dass er die Behälter mit farbigen Inhalten auf den Tisch gestellt hat, habe ich bemerkt, wie sie sich als Wasser bewegt haben.

[pine ginkgo]

also

nice translation for like

[ocean robin]

One day I will say "anticonstitutionellement" in VC. Fun.

[pine ginkgo]

where did you get that

[fair iron]

Antidisestablishmentarianism.

[ocean robin]

🤔

[cold vessel]

Uhh, should it be wie again?

[ocean robin]

That too, why not.

[pallid kelp]

that's not that hard a word, flop

the french one i mean

[ocean robin]

ikr

But it's fun to say for some reason

[cold vessel]

Not sure why I said als actually 🤔

[pallid kelp]

i trust you can find harder ones

[ocean robin]

let me search

[fair iron]

What about Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, Flappy? Would you pronounce that? ^^

[hot cloak]

Petition to make the misuse of a bannable offence

[pallid kelp]

i have a fun one in italian but nobody cares about italian here anyway

[fair iron]

I love that you used offence, Botto. ❤

[pallid kelp]

defense de fumer!

[viral thunder]

:heavy_check_mark: Removed Level B from your roles.

[fair iron]

I care, Berzi.

Pray tell. ^^

[pallid kelp]

yay

[viral thunder]

:heavy_check_mark: Given you the Level A role.

[pallid kelp]

it's trinitrotoluene

[ocean robin]

Waaaat.

[pallid kelp]

i fuck up pronouncing it even in my head

[fair iron]

O:

[pallid kelp]

it basically means TNT

[fair iron]

T.N.T. is a lovely word. ^^

[ocean robin]

And Casca what. What.

[cold vessel]

I think sometimes I get a bit confused because als is so close to as, but that's not really an excuse in this case

[ocean robin]

👀

[pallid kelp]

also a fun rock song

[hot cloak]

@fair iron me too

[fair iron]

Will we have to quickly enter a voice channel again, Flappy? ^^

[whole rapids]

henbruas is the confuse

[fair iron]

Berziii. ❤

[ocean robin]

:>

[pallid kelp]

hi, berzi desu

[ocean robin]

Wait I found a French word that I might not be able to say.

Phénylalanine.

[whole rapids]

anyway, you did it henbruas (I think anyway)

[cold vessel]

Is the rest okay, @pine ginkgo?

[ocean robin]

🤔

[fair iron]

Join the voice channel, Flappy. ^^

[ocean robin]

Oki dokie.

[fair iron]

After all, you should be prepared to pronounce that word I gave you. ^^

[pallid kelp]

Phénylalanine. So cute

[fair iron]

Best of luck, Flappy.

[pallid kelp]

cassie's pronunciation is spot on

[fair iron]

Thanks. ❤

[pallid kelp]

i'll pronounce the italian version of my word sometime

[ocean robin]

Agreed.

Damn how do you say that that smoothly? 🤔

[pallid kelp]

he secretly cheats by inventing phonemes because he's half brit

[fair iron]

I've known that word since before you were born the time you first joined school, Flappy.

[ocean robin]

Désoxyribonucléique.

👀

[pallid kelp]

oh, dna

[ocean robin]

yup

[fair iron]

Where's the acid?

[pallid kelp]

was about toa sk

[fair iron]

You said DN.

^^

[pallid kelp]

to ask*

[ocean robin]

That's just the word.

[pallid kelp]

acido desossiribonucleico

[fair iron]

Deoxyribonucleic acid.

[pallid kelp]

the italian one is more fun imo

[ocean robin]

That I can't remember for some reason.

[fair iron]

It sure looks it. ^^

[pallid kelp]

chemistry sure offers quite the collection of fun words

although albeit ultimately the merit is all greek's

[fair iron]

Polyethylenterephtalat.

[pallid kelp]

that's no fun in italian, for a change. Because all THs become F

[ocean robin]

Kill me for this h. Hyalin.

🤔

In French you would just say "ialin"

idk

[pallid kelp]

some day I'm going to have you challenge me at pronouncing french words, flop

[fair iron]

Let me know in advance; I'd hate to miss out.

[ocean robin]

YES BERZI YES

ONE DAY WE SHOULD DO THIS

[pallid kelp]

sure, we'll do a join performance i guess

[fair iron]

Hold on, I know what Flappy should try and pronounce. ^^

[ocean robin]

i am scared

[fair iron]

https://www.thepoke.co.uk/2011/12/23/english-pronunciation/

[sudden panther]

inter ermann annes aus ängen undert emden raus.

[pallid kelp]

also I'll have you know that I read everything you write in a french accent, so I hope hearing the way you actually speak won't disappoint me

[ocean robin]

YOU'LL BE BETTER THAN 90% OF THE NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKERS OF THE WORLD. LOL.

[sudden panther]

You kinda would.

[pallid kelp]

oh i think I remember daniel reading that thing aloud

[ocean robin]

Okay no I'll fail this.

[sudden panther]

Because you would Flop up most of it.

[ocean robin]

Yup.

[fair iron]

How did he do?

[pallid kelp]

must have been almost a year ago

hmmm

can't remember for sure

wouldn't want to delude you

[fair iron]

^^

[ocean robin]

I'll try this tommorow as soon as I come back from school.

[fair iron]

Can't wait.

[ocean robin]

way too excited to see myself struggle on this

[pallid kelp]

i'll just parse it mentally to see if I can do it

then maybe do it aloud whenever we do our pronunciation thing together

[sudden panther]

As long as you're not trying meth, you can try whatever you want.

[fair iron]

Let me know if you want me to pronounce a word or two. ^^

[ocean robin]

ARREM. PLEASE.

corps/corpse tbh I don't know the difference

🤔

[fair iron]

^^

[sudden panther]

Mutter der Mann mit dem Meth ist da, ja meine Flopper das weiß ich ja.

[fair iron]

How would you pronounce those words, Flappy?

[sudden panther]

Now I have to listen to some Falco.

https://giphy.com/gifs/falco-amadeus-10BIWG23IWWBi0

[ocean robin]

I would pronounce them the same way.

[tribal warren]

I confirm

@sudden panther

[fair iron]

Rock Me Amadeus is a song about an Austrian composer by an Austrian artist. What more could you want? ^^

I don't mean that, Flappy.

I mean what would it sound like if you were to pronounce them.

[ocean robin]

🤔

[sudden panther]

Well that took you a while, Bergo.

[ocean robin]

hard to say thh uuuh

[pallid kelp]

th is easier than t imo :D

[ocean robin]

Wow phone. The heck.

[fair iron]

Off to the voice channel we go. ^^

[ocean robin]

Silent S.

GOOD.

[viral vale]

that poem is hard to read because it makes no sense

[pallid kelp]

oh shut up you're french

"silent s"

[ocean robin]

[viral vale]

it's also crazy long

[fair iron]

It's fun to read because of the pronunciation.

[ocean robin]

I want to try now but I can't

[fair iron]

In my opinion, at least.

[pallid kelp]

yeah it's long, that's the biggest challenge

[ocean robin]

rip me

[viral vale]

there were some words i had never seen before, but only or two

that i think they pulled from some archaic dictionary

[ocean robin]

Same.

🤔

[pallid kelp]

btw... lieutenant

[fair iron]

I like the words used especially for that reason.

[ocean robin]

LEFT-NANT

[fair iron]

Correct. ^^

[viral vale]

Fe0ffer?

[fair iron]

Which word, Sturm?

[viral vale]

FeOffer

[ocean robin]

🤔

wot

[fair iron]

Oh.

[viral vale]

"Fe0ffer does, and zephyr, heifer."

[fair iron]

^^

Interestingly enough, that word is pronounced exactly like the German word Pfeffer.

At least, one variant is.

[ocean robin]

🤔

[viral vale]

gunwale is also not a word i've heard used

i presume it's some archaic type of weapon

[ocean robin]

Okay so now I am excited to be tommorow for 2 reasons.

[fair iron]

It's part of a boat.

[viral vale]

ah

[ocean robin]

Ah.

[viral vale]

boats have all kinds of funny words for their parts

[ocean robin]

ikr

[viral vale]

see, i would just say the lip

[ocean robin]

TIL.

[pallid kelp]

yeah, nautical terms tend to be weird and rare in every language

[ocean robin]

I would say the border of the boat

[viral vale]

oh, it's pronounced gunnel

[ocean robin]

[pallid kelp]

certainly not gun-whale

[viral vale]

i guess i have heard that, never seen it spelled though

[ocean robin]

I like English pronouncation

[pallid kelp]

that would be a fun instrument of death

[ocean robin]

very original

[pallid kelp]

cetaceous even

[viral vale]

i have never seen hiccup spelled like this: Hiccough

[fair iron]

Berzi. ^^

It's an extremely old variant.

Nowadays hiccup is more correct.

[ocean robin]

[fair iron]

As the word implies, it was given due to being mistaken for a cough.

[ocean robin]

Eye, I, ay, aye, whey and key. lol please

[fair iron]

:]

[viral vale]

ay and aye are pronounced the same, aren't they

[fair iron]

They are.

Different spellings, nothing more.

[viral vale]

ok, making sure it wasn't some bizarre archaic word

[pallid kelp]

alien with italian. Heh.

[fair iron]

It's also the noun.

[viral vale]

eye?

[ocean robin]

there's clearly a reason to be excited to hear a french girl with a strong accent saying that

[pallid kelp]

fokken brits think they're the normal ones

[fair iron]

(The votes are as follows: 25 Ayes, 30 Noes.)

[ocean robin]

wow berzi

[viral vale]

30 Nays

[fair iron]

That works too.

Noes exists.

Not that I've seen it used, though.

[whole rapids]

we are the normal ones

[viral vale]

yeah, usually if people are voting, it's either yes or no or aye or nay

[pallid kelp]

wouldn't Nays be used here instead? 🤔

[whole rapids]

source: arrogance

[viral vale]

that poem is also tricky because it's written as if a lot of the words rhyme which don't

which is mean

[pallid kelp]

british and arrogance are basically synonymous. Goung through their history since the british empire became a thing is undescribably amusing

[viral vale]

what is this "sward" is that the spelling from Beawolf?

[whole rapids]

I presume you mean the bourgeois

[pallid kelp]

sward is how italians pronounce sword

and apparently it refers to the surface of grassy soil

[viral vale]

apparently it's an expanse of short grass in english

no one says that

[ocean robin]

Isn't sward a word too? I am discovering too many things today

🤔

[pallid kelp]

yes we just described it

[whole rapids]

"sward" is a rare word

[fair iron]

As Sturm said, you would normally see Yes or No, or Aye or Nay.

[viral vale]

maybe if you were a farmer you'd use it a lot

[pallid kelp]

i find the sheer amount of words english stole has impressive

[ocean robin]

Aye and Nay is better.

[viral vale]

ague is another word i have no use for

since i am not a 1600s peasant

[pallid kelp]

many are useless, but cool nonetheless

[viral vale]

i don't think english has more words than other languages

[pallid kelp]

if you take a latin language you can find as many words as you want, but the problem is that you'll reach a point where you'll just be fishing for latin or greek words

[fair iron]

German has compound words, so we don't really have a limit.

[viral vale]

well, latin is dead

[fair iron]

English has at least 171,000 words.

I have a text file that contains 300,000.

[pallid kelp]

since english also uses latin and greek for word production, they basically cheat

[fair iron]

Interestingly enough, Aa is a word.

[viral vale]

spoken latin probably had mroe words than have survived written down

Terpsichore <- also some outdated word

[fair iron]

Not really a word, per se.

[ocean robin]

Aa. Lol.

[fair iron]

A Greek goddess. ^^

One of the Muses.

[viral vale]

yeah, that's kind of cheating to put that in there

[pallid kelp]

this is also a word apparently https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/pahoehoe

and it sounds funny

[ocean robin]

Yesterday I learnt that English has 283 irregular verbs.

[viral vale]

is that it?

[ocean robin]

And French has 5k.

Or 500. Maybe 500.

[viral vale]

interesting

[fair iron]

Nike is also a Greek goddess. The company is named after her, hence the correct pronunciation of [Nigh-key]. ^^

[ocean robin]

🤔

[viral vale]

yes, i knew about Nike

[fair iron]

Here, Flappy.

[viral vale]

there's actually quite a few greek gods in this poem

[pallid kelp]

see, this is the thing about english: whenever an italian or a frenchman finds a weird word in an exotic language, if they don't make their own version of it, they say "[exotic language] has this fun word". English on the other hand just outright picks the word and says "this is a word". So people think of it in terms of an english word

[viral vale]

cheating

[fair iron]

Schadenfreude, Abseil, Zugzwang, Gesundheit, Kindergarten, [...]

[ocean robin]

Nou, that's not cheating. :>

[viral vale]

i think all languages have borrowed words

[ocean robin]

Well yeah.

French has a lot of English words.

[opal sequoia]

Zugzwang?

[fair iron]

The position of being forced to make a certain move.

Often used in chess.

[opal sequoia]

Never heard that before. 🤔

[ocean robin]

🤔

In chess ah okay.

[pallid kelp]

zwang is a current german word indicating obligation

for lack of a better word that certainly exists but currently escapes me

btw hi base

isn't it like, earlier than 7 am at yours? 🤔

[fair iron]

zu zwingen would be to force, for example.

Hey, Base. ^^

[ocean robin]

[pallid kelp]

zwingend is a recent favourite of mine

meaning necessarily

[ocean robin]

8:45 for Baserino.

[pallid kelp]

nicht zwingend can be a challenge to pronounce quickly, aber nicht zwingend

oh i confused the timezones

[ocean robin]

You know what I should do? Sleep now. But I don't want to. But I have 2 tests so let's do it.

[pallid kelp]

aw. Bonne nuit

[hot cloak]

Hf

[pallid kelp]

bonne? 🤔

[hot cloak]

Ye

[pallid kelp]

i haven't actively spoken french in like, half floppy's lifetime at the very least

[fair iron]

Dors bien, Flappy.

[ocean robin]

ye berzi

[merry geyser]

Guys who wants some math

[ocean robin]

la nuit

[viral vale]

did you finish your homework?

[merry geyser]

Me?

[viral vale]

Ja. Du

[merry geyser]

Yes

[opal sequoia]

Oh yeah, almost 9am for me.

[merry geyser]

So wanna do some easy math guys?

[opal sequoia]

Sure.

[merry geyser]

Xx

Xd

[hot cloak]

That's actually not too hard

[merry geyser]

I think it is for the hot dog is unknown

[opal sequoia]

🙄

[merry geyser]

I don't even know how this sum symbol works

[hot cloak]

Nice meme

[opal sequoia]

You don't know how to do addition, Deploit?

[viral vale]

ha

it's wrong though because the X's should be hot dogs

which are fundamentally different things

[sudden panther]

Yeah you're missing an x in the denominator.

And I'm an hour late for this discussion.

[tribal warren]

are we doing the hotdog problemo?

[stone sentinel]

Oh hey people are talking about math? Great

I was watching a video on u-sub integration, and the person was briefly taking the derivative of the inside function

[tribal warren]

oh chain rule

[stone sentinel]

Set du=3x^2 dx

I'm confused where the dx is from

She says "because u is in respect to x" but that doesn't answer if it's an actual value I can use or not

I thought a derivative was just an equation to find a slope at a given point

So why isnt 3x^2 alone

[tribal warren]

the derative is in function of x

so you're doing du/dx=d(x³+5)/dx

the dx comes from the denominator there

in du

cause d(x³+5)/dx=3x²

so

du/dx=3x²

du=3x²*dx

(I haven't done derivatives in a while so pls correct me people that actually know ze maths)

[stone sentinel]

That looks right and I can follow it easily, I was a little unsure if myself on that, thanks

[tribal warren]

neat

[stone sentinel]

Also she said something about the outside value equaling the derivative?

I mean it does in this case

But what if I were to change the x^3 to x^4?

[tribal warren]

It's just for that case

Since d(x³)/dx = 3x²

[sudden panther]

Bergie you filthy pleb.
