Schule langweilt in ihrer aktuellen Form die Kinder, weil sie ihre Fähigkeiten verzerrt.
next, cases
shy bobcat
Why do you say "next, cases"?
ocean robin
seems okay for me, but I am blind 
shy bobcat
Did Luna say something about case?
ocean robin
Nope, gut feeling was saying that I was maybe wrong on the cases
shy bobcat
I don't see any issues with case.
The only pressing issue I see is
we usually don't like to use a noun alone like that
I think you usually use an article
ocean robin
oh yeah
ocean robin
Die Schule langweilt in ihrer aktuellen Form die Kinder, weil sie ihre Fähigkeiten verzerrt.
shy bobcat
Lose the , have some confidence
@viscid cape THY PUPIL HATH Y-DONE HER HOMEWORK
@fair iron thx for confirmation 😉 😄
sleek valve
Is Die Schule langweilt die Kinder in ihrer aktuellen Form. correct?
ocean robin
"have some confidence" hell yeah I want confidence 😦
shy bobcat
@sleek valve I think so. But I think that written German likes to shovel the T-M-P stuff before the objects.
sleek valve
ok
viscid cape
Thanks for the help @shy bobcat 👌
shy bobcat

tribal warren
Ari Portuguese Level C confirmed
whole rapids
I think I saw Krypto suggest that sentence 4 hours ago
and you were still at it?
oh, it was actually 5 hours ago
tribal warren
@shy bobcat Sí no lo fue (?)
shy bobcat
@tribal warren das (Portugiesisch) war es ja nicht 😉
tribal warren
ahh
whole rapids
tribal warren
yeap
Ich dachte, du hattest es auf Portugiesisch benutzt, denn Kryptik brasilianisch ist.
^^
shy bobcat
lolno 😉
opal sequoia

still hazel
Hahaha technically that is correct, i guess
pallid kelp
craggy herald
It's kind of strange that you can't though
hot cloak
yeah I'm no native speaker but it does sound weird
duolingo is kinda frustrating so I just gave up on it after a while
opal sequoia
You can do that contraction, it's not incorrect and it is used. It's just weird in this sentence.
craggy herald
So all those weird sounding ones are probably correct?
viscid cape
I thought his point was that you could only do this contraction if 'have' is used as an auxiliary.
opal sequoia
Example, Krpyti?
opal sequoia
Yes. But in the duo example it's have as in being in possession of something.
opal sequoia
And it would be more often used in phrases like "They've a long way to go".
viscid cape
So I supposed it shouldn't be contracted in this case... but it can (apparently)
Humm I see
opal sequoia
Yeah, definitely dialectical differences and used differently at different time periods.
viscid cape
Why do you find duo's sentence weird then?
opal sequoia
A native speaker wouldn't really say it.
viscid cape
Humm I see
hot cloak
I think the issue is duolingo insisting on contraction if it's correct either way, it's not like you're gonna reach an advanced level with duolingo anyhow
opal sequoia
😄
Yeah, it's weird to recommend that phrasing.
Kinda makes you sound like a fantasy video game character.

Hello guys
Is there a book alternative to the A1 textbook except in English? 😦 we're taking A1 part 1 at college and i get NOTHING
i think i found one https://learngerman.dw.com/en/overview
😮
viscid cape
@upper raptor As an addition to that you might want to check Schenke's Basic German in #resources
upper raptor
@viscid cape
mild cosmos
Schenke's basic german definitely helped me. What a shame that it isn't available anymore
I only downloaded the intermediate book though
Otherwise I would do my best to put the basic one back
I'd be surprised if there were no other copies of it though
This here is course material from the University of Michigan in the US; has been helpful on occasion, though I didn't find it until I was past A1
sudden panther
I have them both actually. I'll update the links today. If they're not there in 2 hours max you can yell at me.
pine ginkgo
i can yell now
upper raptor
Reeeeee
thick charm
good start
upper raptor
My course and most of the courses in my college is in english, and like 95% of the students are international yet the course is still in german
there's no medium language so i sit through class looking at the ceiling
pine ginkgo
sounds like a weird college
mild cosmos
what is bus SEV?
or more specifically, is SEV an acronym or is it a region specific thing?
figured it out
Schienenersatzverkehr
mild cosmos
ja ich möchte es nicht wirklich nehmen weil man kein Preis im Internet finden kann. Ich kann auch nicht ausfinden, welche Buslinie es wird, oder wie man das Ticket überhaupt kauft.

How do you quote stuff?
tribal warren
quote stuff
viral thunderBOT
❌ Bad argument: Channel "stuff" not found.
hot cloak
help quote
viral thunderBOT
>quote <channel> <message>
Quote a message from a <channel>.
This takes the source channel as first and the message ID of said message as second argument.
You need to be in the channel you want the message to appear in.
Are message IDs only unique per channel? 🤔
hot cloak
e.g theres something cool in #questions: get the ID of that message, go to the channel you wanna quote it in and type >quote <source chan> <msg id>
they're unique in general
they only exist once on discord
I need the chan to get the source content though
since discord is wonky

hit CTRL+SHIFT+I while the discord window is focused and check whether you can find any errors in the console

@tribal warren We can chat here if you want, so the conversation isn't drowned out.

I can't do a top 10 it's too hard aa
ocean robin
I have no idea about my top 10 games though, since I stopped playing video games for a long time
thick charm
I just wanna play a good rpg that's not too weeby
I fear I won't enjoy Xeno 2 for that exact reason. It crossed the line between acceptably japanese to obnoxiously weeby when they introduced a character that only refers to herself in the third person
Like why
That's never not annoying
ocean robin
"Hello! Flappy likes chocolate and Flappy thinks that she likes you!"
Yeah. I hate that too but sometimes it can be adorable. Sometimes it can be annoying.
ahem gonta ahem

Aww, I appreciate that though

I had too much fun with League I can't leave it out

CB3 is such a good game
I spent so many hours listening to the main theme on repeat back when I didn't have internet
I'd just leave the console running
tribal warren
lol
thick charm
ocean robin
same chuck tbh
ocean robin
When I didn't have Internet I just opened my DS to listen to the soundtracks
thick charm
I could listen to that for days
tribal warren
I played this digimon game that had this battle theme that was so repetitive, omg
lemme find it
ocean robin
Especially Snowbelle City from Pokemon X/Y. ❤

Where did everybody go?

My last nintendo console/portable was the first DS :l
ocean robin

opal sequoia
Oh, I was thinking about how I would choose a top 10 games, sorry.
tribal warren
it's okay
did you make your list?
my actual list would take too much thinking and remembering
opal sequoia
No, it's kind of hard to do it because I would instead need to categorize it.
thick charm
Oh there you all are
tribal warren
but I do love those 10 games I listed
thick charm
tribal warren
okay different list then Base
hot cloak
1 the witcher
opal sequoia
Generally I guess I would think of these games: Witcher, Half-Life, Portal, Soma (and anything by Frictional), Dragon Age, Mass Effect, The Sims 2.
tribal warren
name 10 games that you love and remember
opal sequoia
Yes, Vu. 😄
tribal warren
Portal 1?
hot cloak
2 the witcher
opal sequoia
Both Portals.
hot cloak
3 guess it
tribal warren
Witcher The
tribal warren
Soma is awesome
thick charm
I spent too much time for my own good with Sims 2
tribal warren
I didn't play it but I watched the playthroughs and it's just brain = 💥
opal sequoia
Yes, Chuck. It's probably my most played game of all time, by far.
ocean robin
I had a Sims game but the CD is now broken. 😦
opal sequoia
You didn't play it?
pine ginkgo
mhh
opal sequoia
Berg...
pine ginkgo
making a top 10 is hard
- Legend of Zelda (Majora's Mask)
- Baldur's Gate (Throne of Bhaal)
- Pokémon (Platin)
- Warcraft (III)
- Metal Gear Solid (3: Snaker Eater)
- Golden Sun (The Lost Age)
- Mario (Sunshine)
- Final Fantasy (IX)
- Fire Emblem (Path of Radiance)
- Monster Hunter (4U)
this would be mine
thick charm
PoR
pine ginkgo
for the things i currently remember
🤔
thick charm
dang
ocean robin
I did, but each time I had to play I needed the CD.
thick charm
Thta game was good
opal sequoia
Usually I don't say this, but Soma is one of those games that if you don't play it yourself the first time, you are seriously selling yourself short.
pine ginkgo
there are like dozens of honorable mentions
opal sequoia
In an extreme way.
thick charm
ocean robin
rip
thick charm
Where's my boy Ike, Koei Tecmo
tribal warren
What, Base?
opal sequoia
The experience of navigating Soma's levels is so awesome. The game design in that game is extremely impressive.
thick charm
I wanna kick some butt with the man himself
opal sequoia
If you're not playing it yourself, you only get like 10% of the experience.
tribal warren
I'm sorry
it was too expensive
and I loved Amnesia so I wanted really to check it out
I watched the playthroughs =c

Dude, Luna, what do you expect out of FE: Switch?

(I can't see them anyway)

But anyway, Berg, Amnesia is a super good game.
thick charm
Cam Clarke almost makes up for that though
pine ginkgo
also cutting a bit down on the children/inheritance system
it's... somewhat over done now
thick charm
Can't wait for every character to be voiced by Matt Mercer in the next one
tribal warren
I'll play Soma someday

Not only the men, but the women and children too.
pine ginkgo
it's still a good idea, but gets too much sometimes honestly
tribal warren
I have a lot of games to play
and animes to watch
I have so much shit I want to check out but right now is not a good time
opal sequoia
For older games like PS2 era, I actually found Kya: Dark Lineage and Jak & Daxter to be really good games.
I can't even remember ps1 much.

i am more hyped about SMT:Switch tho

First Uni, then german + all the games I want to check out + animes that my friendos are saying pls watch it senpai

let's think about it while he's not here
maybe Grimm's
there's this one tale that I want to do
it's been a while since I last spoke german
"spoke"
@opal sequoia or maybe we could read news
🤔
tribal warren
Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten

tribal warren
It's the Grimm's tale
@opal sequoia my friend was talking about it in such a nostalgic way idk why
so I want to read it now 😛

it's the name of the tale I mentioned
opal sequoia
Yeah, but what is it about? 🙄
opal sequoia
Wow.
tribal warren
I haven't read it to know 😛
opal sequoia
Okay, we can definitely read it.

Welp
Maybe we could start doing more after my last admission test
which is on the 26th
or in december
idk
opal sequoia
Sure, whenever.

Hi 👋
main frigate
But I do think those stories are easy (easier) to follow and are good practice
tribal warren
as in did you like it
main frigate
Yeah it’s good to have someone to help that’s native
main frigate
Oh really hmm. Maybe I haven’t joined enough readings then
Or maybe I just see it in chat more
tribal warren
I mean, whenever there are natives, many of them just listen and sometimes do comments about words and things
it's really helpful and cool from them
but they don't usually just call you out pointing out what things you're constantly doing wrong
shy bobcat
thank luna that he does that 😄
main frigate
Yeah two-fold, understanding needs reinforced and also mistakes pointed out so you can learn from them
tribal warren
regarding pronunciation, I gotta work on these long/short vowels thing, and pronouncing the r :l
main frigate
Plus stories or texts makes you read words that you wouldn’t normally say
Vs just talking always about the weather 🌧 ☀️
tribal warren
yeap
they're fairly repetitive too
so you remember vocabulary with it
like imagine how many times that tale repeated the word
Esel
a fuckton
main frigate
That’s always been my issue is remembering words. I literally read it and forget it 5 lines later
main frigate
Back to the dictionary and then oh yeah o just looked that up haha

this time was much better for reading tho
idk if it was noticeable but the other time we were doing, I'd just be so dead of tiredness

Where was Macacao today
tribal warren
He showed up in #other-languages
then said "off to physics studying"
and got off
main frigate
Yeah no worries. Lots of different life things going on with different people
I’m off for two weeks from work now!
But means more house and yard work than free time probably haha
tribal warren
welp
Macaco's just really focused on studying cause he wants to get into this hardcore Uni here
really hard to pass
so I understand him
main frigate
Yeah. I don’t miss Unizeit with all the studying
tribal warren
;P
main frigate
But lots of me regrets not studying more to actually learn the material (esp Deutsch)
tribal warren
hmm
I guess it's bad to regret these things
not cry over spilled milk ya know?
what happened happened
main frigate
As you get older you tend to reflect and regret some things more. Yeah. Move on and that’s why I’m here to keep it somewhat in my brain
tribal warren
I regret that I didn't enjoy maths and got into olympics when I was younger
but fuck it
I was happy doing memery and not giving a shit about the world
and waisting my whole afternoon playing games
it was fun as hell
main frigate
Haha yeah...so much counterstike for me
tribal warren
welp
same
I still do that
but like, back in 2011~2013 I used to play like 6~8 hours of league everyday

Nice. Sadly steam didn’t track CS source hours until recently so who knows how many real hours I would have

tribal warren
why u mad, creeps

what game is that
tribal warren
CS:GO
main frigate
I think Go I only have like 420 hours

I plaid more than 2500 hours of League
I did play source too mauz, specially the mods
something like 600 hours

I was thinking that I could have just gotten into programming, or some instrument, or math olympics
but really
I don't regret a day that I just had fun with friends messing around in League
laughed a lot
main frigate
Think if we all had the motivation to put 2k hours into something useful lol

Yeah for sure
That’s why it seems like I’ve been learning a long time but not a lot of that time was learning

Okay, bell: They walked through the forest and couldn't find their way out.

I bet Flops fainted when she saw the sentence.

that's okay. It took me a long time to remember them. So, we can talk about dative or about adjectives in akkusative. which would you like?
quasi merlin
@ocean robin Alive?
red pewter
which way, base? perfect or simple past?

Where is that space though?
🤔
quasi merlin
Sonntagnachmittag
red pewter
Sly, you're somewhat right. Most of the time, and this is quite generalized, but we usually think of the dative as the indirect object. For example, I gave the hat to the man. The man is the indirect object, so it's the dative case.
ocean robin
oh
red pewter
There's more cases, but we will start here as a beginner c:
ocean robin
Ein guter Freund meiner Mutter wurde nicht an einem regnerischen Sonntagnachmittag ermordet. :>

I don't like the "ihren"

In German, it's more common to phrase things like that as... "the way out" instead of "their way out". The possessive isn't used as freely for this type of thing.

How do you say "They walked" in perfekt?
opal sequoia

fair iron
Almost there, Bell. 😃
red pewter
what's next :?
sudden panther
I bet that's like when you have like two infinitives or something? 😎
fair iron
How did you know?
sudden panther
I'm very sagacious.
red pewter
Yeah
you just keep adding them on?
hmm. I'm guessing i totally messed up the placement.
fair iron
Not at all.
opal sequoia
Well, when you have the perfekt tense with a sentence that has a modal verb and another verb, like "They could find it", then instead of having the gekonnt, you write it like: Sie haben finden können.
fair iron
You just conjugated a verb, when the infinitive was required.
red pewter
why?
opal sequoia
It's just a weird grammar thing.
I think you would write: Sie haben gekonnt. But then: Sie haben finden können.
opal sequoia
I mean, sie haben gekonnt isn't really a sentence, but just to show the point.
red pewter
yeah i get what you mean
opal sequoia
Yes, it isn't something you will use often.
red pewter
thank you c:
opal sequoia
Even though people use perfekt normally for past tense, simple is used for modal verbs.
red pewter
Sie sind durch den Wald gegangen und haben den Ausgang nicht finden können.

you can infer it from the verbs you conjugated if you need to

fair iron
"Grey"? Ich dachte Grey ist nicht mehr auf dem Server.
ocean robin

fair iron
GreyWindDev != GreyIndigo. ^^
ocean robin
ooh
fluid horizon
So like... there are "regular" verbs that just change endings..
But there are verbs that add an "e" in the du + er/sie/es + ihr forms i think. Like the stems would end with like -m -n (I think there are a couple more....)
Then theres also like verbs that end in s or ß or t or z or something and they do something ing the du + er/sie/es + ihr forms or something

interesting analysis Sly; I am not sure exactly what you are referring to by what you are saying but it seems that it's clear to you that there are irregular verbs which have special conjugations.
