general-2

[whole rapids]

anyway, I was not really clear. I meant can you give the conjugations for a regular verb for each pronoun? Like for example

ich [verb stem] -e
du [verb stem] -st

etc

[ocean robin]

rip

[thick charm]

That's schneiden

[opal sequoia]

You are getting colder, Flappy.

[ocean robin]

Then nope, no idea

[fluid horizon]

o

[ocean robin]

mmmh

[pine ginkgo]

think of the mail

[thick charm]

I mean at the very least you're still in the 'sch-' territory

[pine ginkgo]

flop

[fluid horizon]

Yes Pferd

Kinda

[ocean robin]

To send?

[fluid horizon]

Except for irregulars

[opal sequoia]

Yeah, awesome, Flappy!

[whole rapids]

you have to learn those by memorisation anyway

[ocean robin]

YAY

[red pewter]

bell is back

[whole rapids]

until you get a "feeling"

[fair iron]

🎉

Welcome back, Bell. ^^

[thick charm]

Ball!

[red pewter]

😄

[ocean robin]

Bell is back!

[red pewter]

ball 😠

[ocean robin]

Ball lol wut

[whole rapids]

if you complete the list, I will impart a tip

[opal sequoia]

Now just two more words and then you can use them in a sentence, Flappy.

[ocean robin]

:D

[opal sequoia]

First: streng

[red pewter]

okay. did my sentence need work :?

[pine ginkgo]

base has a secret plan

[ocean robin]

I wanted to say strong

[pine ginkgo]

you were done, bell

[fair iron]

Man with a plan.

[pine ginkgo]

but what do yo usay

flop

[fair iron]

Panama.

[fluid horizon]

So do you want me to just say them?

[ocean robin]

I feel like it's not that, it would be too easy

[red pewter]

yay!

[ocean robin]

Let's say strong first.

[pine ginkgo]

so

[shy bobcat]

[pine ginkgo]

what do you say?

[ocean robin]

Strong.

[pine ginkgo]

okay

[fluid horizon]

.> ...

[pine ginkgo]

no

[red pewter]

strong is stark

[ocean robin]

lol

[whole rapids]

I want you to complete the list I made

[pine ginkgo]

okay

not "no"

[ocean robin]

mmmh

[pine ginkgo]

it canmean strong

[ocean robin]

AH

[thick charm]

'Das panama passiern'

[pine ginkgo]

but wouldn't be the "normal" translation

[ocean robin]

streng huh

[fluid horizon]

ich -e
du -st
er/sie/es -t
wir -en
ihr -t
Sie/sie -en```??

[red pewter]

strength :?

[ocean robin]

Is it related with strength?

[whole rapids]

correct

[thick charm]

Which word are we looking for?

Streng?

[opal sequoia]

Yeah Chuck.

[whole rapids]

now I shall impart a protip, you may or may not know

[fair iron]

I know that I don't know. - Socrates.

[ocean robin]

So it's not strength?

🤔

[thick charm]

Streng is linguistically related to strength, but that's not the translation.

[shy bobcat]

Streng is not strength, since it is not a noun 😛

[ocean robin]

mmmh

adjective huh

[red pewter]

strongly...

[pine ginkgo]

i some cases it can be translated to strong

[thick charm]

that's an adverb

Bell

We're looking for an adjective

[pine ginkgo]

but it's not the "normal" definition

[red pewter]

no one told bell 😦

[cold vessel]

What's up?

[whole rapids]

ich -e
du -st
er/sie/es -t

wir -en
ihr -t
Sie/sie -en

The conjugations below the line have no exceptions, whether the verb is weak or strong or irregular or regular.

(preparing for exception...)

[fluid horizon]

Uh are you sure

[red pewter]

strenuous

[shy bobcat]

Wir erinnern uns dran dass es ein paar ausnahmen gibt 🤔

[whole rapids]

pretty sure

[fluid horizon]

doesn't ihr get changes sometimes

[cold vessel]

sein 😛

[ocean robin]

Muscular? (is that even an adjective)

🤔

[shy bobcat]

yes, muscular is an adjective

[ocean robin]

but is it the right translation

:>

[pine ginkgo]

no

[whole rapids]

I knew there was one

[shy bobcat]

:<

[ocean robin]

nuuuuh

[pine ginkgo]

a hint

[whole rapids]

but sein is a special case

[pine ginkgo]

Ein strenger Lehrer

[red pewter]

the muscular person is very muscular. If you can say "the ____ person is very ____" it's an adjective

[shy bobcat]

@whole rapids if you read my sentence I gave you another one 😉

[ocean robin]

With knowledge

uuuh

🤔

Experienced?

[quasi merlin]

Die strengen Eltern

[fluid horizon]

Im going to #questions because this has just turned into a clusterfuck for me

[thick charm]

Not experienced

[ocean robin]

with professor huh

[pine ginkgo]

with professor?

[red pewter]

tenacious

[whole rapids]

what Ari?

which?

[red pewter]

okay bell is looking it up

[ocean robin]

teacher Solet, I was just searching what it could be

mmh

[red pewter]

ohh...I wouldn't have gotten that

[fair iron]

Professor is professor, Flappy. Surprise surprise. ^^

[cold vessel]

🤔

[ocean robin]

wee casca

Bell, let me search a bit

[cold vessel]

I still haven't quite gotten what's going on

[opal sequoia]

We are doing some vocab.

And then sentences.

[red pewter]

oh, okay.

[ocean robin]

Knowledgeable?

[pine ginkgo]

no

[quasi merlin]

Still no, Flops

[pine ginkgo]

cold

[quasi merlin]

^

[pine ginkgo]

strong was your best bet so far

[thick charm]

'Hey teacher I wanna do a thing'
'No Flops'

[ocean robin]

D:

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin Meine Mathelehrerin ist so streng: ich war dabei, mein Handy in den Rucksack zu legen, dann hat sie das Ding gesehen und es einfach weggenommen; ich mein, ich habe versucht, ihre Regeln zu befolgen, aber anscheinend nicht gut genug für sie. 😦

[ocean robin]

wow strong was the best

Severe?

[fair iron]

Getting closer.

[pine ginkgo]

better

[shy bobcat]

IDK french but that sounsd like it's probably the French word for it 😄

[thick charm]

That's the French word

yeah

[ocean robin]

YES

[pine ginkgo]

but we are going for english

floop

:)

[thick charm]

There's another French word for that

Which is the same as the English one

[red pewter]

severe is an english word...

[ocean robin]

WR lel

mmmh

[fair iron]

A different English word, Bell. ^^

[shy bobcat]

@red pewter it's not the one we use for streng tho

😄

[thick charm]

sévère is French

[fair iron]

The actual translation.

[ocean robin]

Another French word which is the same as English and which means severe?

[thick charm]

Yes

Also starting with an S.

[pine ginkgo]

a french word who

:P

[ocean robin]

:(

[shy bobcat]

which means streng/sévère. not severe

[thick charm]

It's not rigoureux

[shy bobcat]

sévère and severe don't mean exactly the same

[thick charm]

The other one

[ocean robin]

naaah it's not the same thing Chuck

[pine ginkgo]

which is what he said

[thick charm]

Sorry, just quoting dict

[ocean robin]

Rigoureux is being pedanctic sorta 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

🤔

or do i misinterpret chuck

🤔

[thick charm]

St----

[ocean robin]

st- in french woa

[opal sequoia]

Strawberry.

[ocean robin]

lel

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin I'd imagine the french might have ét- but IDK french so

[thick charm]

I get it

[quasi merlin]

Casca :D

[ocean robin]

Woah, that is difficult.

[red pewter]

sticker.

[pine ginkgo]

cascerd is a good

no

bell

if you think of teachers

what qualities do you think of

[red pewter]

bell can't answer anymore

[pine ginkgo]

oh

[red pewter]

bell knows the answer

[pine ginkgo]

bad bell.

[shy bobcat]

BTW rigorous in english is more uhhh... I'd describe the course as rigorous rather than the teacher 🤔

[ocean robin]

floop is searching for the frenchie word

[red pewter]

I didn't know the intent.

[ocean robin]

gonna type in French now to find it

🤔

[fair iron]

Scroll up, Flappy. I gave a hint.

[shy bobcat]

Floop, it starts with the same three letters as streng

in english

[ocean robin]

In French?

hm hmmmm

[quasi merlin]

The name of the snake Casca posted contains the word.

[thick charm]

And it's not Boa

[pine ginkgo]

boah ey 🤔

[shy bobcat]

@quasi merlin

[fluid horizon]

@red pewter If you want to continue later then ping me.

[shy bobcat]

boa con- oh you meme

[pine ginkgo]

wow teeeis

[fluid horizon]

Dont feel like fighting whatever is happening here now...

[red pewter]

[pine ginkgo]

[fluid horizon]

Yea but i mean got taken over tbh

I mean yea

but nvm...

[red pewter]

[quasi merlin]

Other protip

#general is also a thing

[fluid horizon]

So.

[shy bobcat]

[whole rapids]

[thick charm]

We could also argue over this for 30 minutes now

[shy bobcat]

where are you

👀

[thick charm]

or go back to German

[red pewter]

I prefer the german!

[fluid horizon]

Im not going to argue about it.

[toxic urchin]

Hallo

[shy bobcat]

floppso. wo bist du hingeflopt 😦

@ocean robin

[quasi merlin]

@ocean robin The snake is called Boa Constrictor

[fair iron]

It's called Peter. ^

[red pewter]

floops flapped away!

[shy bobcat]

war schon klar

[whole rapids]

Flops, wohin bist du gekrochen

[shy bobcat]

flops flopt am besten 😦

[red pewter]

whistles

can I have a vocab word?

[opal sequoia]

Yes. 😄

[thick charm]

Störung

[red pewter]

super strong.

[fair iron]

^^

[whole rapids]

pfeifen

[red pewter]

so much emphasis on the strong

[ocean robin]

WIFI CRASHED

OKAY LET'S GO

[red pewter]

uh that's two words

[thick charm]

Doesn't have anything to do with strength

[red pewter]

pfeifen sounds like an instrument

okay, what does it have to do with?

[thick charm]

Pfeifen can be an instrument, yes. We're looking for the verb

[red pewter]

to blow?

[pine ginkgo]

it has to do with sound

yes

[ocean robin]

So we said severe was the closest and we're searching for a French word beginning by st-, correct?

[thick charm]

There's no English word you can go off for Störung.

[whole rapids]

you just did it

[red pewter]

what the heckie

[opal sequoia]

Yeah Flappy.

[fluid horizon]

I think I know it

[ocean robin]

mmmh

[opal sequoia]

Which one, Sly?

[ocean robin]

OH DAMN

STRICT

[red pewter]

störung is a noun. Is it related to anything here?

[ocean robin]

YES

[fluid horizon]

Strict @opal sequoia

[ocean robin]

FINALLY

[opal sequoia]

Oh, yeah.

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin took you long enough ❤

[opal sequoia]

Nice work!

[pine ginkgo]

eh, let's say "störung" is related to "something negative"

[opal sequoia]

Now the next one: heimlich

[thick charm]

The verb for Störung is stören btw

[ocean robin]

okay something which ends in -ly

[red pewter]

to choke

[ocean robin]

🤔

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin nope

[ocean robin]

wat

Adjective?

[red pewter]

uh, to get sick

[pine ginkgo]

not that negative

😦

[shy bobcat]

don't just look at german and expect a translation from its constituent parts like that

[thick charm]

No, when you're telling people to 'Stör mich nicht', you don't tell them to stop choking you.

[ocean robin]

lel

[red pewter]

i was laughing at heimlich

[shy bobcat]

heimlich would mean "homely" if we translated like that which is 100 percent wrong

heheeheheh

[pine ginkgo]

i try to think of a hint

that doesn't give the answer away 🤔

[red pewter]

to yell at?

[pine ginkgo]

yelling is not negative

[red pewter]

stare

[pine ginkgo]

staring is not negative either

[ocean robin]

Area maybe, Solet? In which domain this word is?

[whole rapids]

when you are done with word games

[ocean robin]

To swear

[whole rapids]

we can do grammar games

[red pewter]

poke.

[pine ginkgo]

mhh

let's say..

when objects/things have "negative" happenings

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin continuing, heimlich does not mean homely, even tho heim = home and -lich = -ly, because "homely" means "ugly"

[opal sequoia]

Can you do a sentence using some of these words, Pferd?

[ocean robin]

LOL

[pine ginkgo]

maybe that helps guiding better 🤔

[whole rapids]

what are the words

[ocean robin]

For heimlich?

something negative huh

And it's not a verb 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

mhh

[opal sequoia]

Today we did so far: abtrocknen, aufhängen, streng, verschicken and heimlich.

[shy bobcat]

heimlich is an adjective or adverb

[pine ginkgo]

An appliance can have a Störung

[ocean robin]

to be bad

[pine ginkgo]

let's go from that

[shy bobcat]

great thing about german adverbs is they look the same as adjectives

[thick charm]

you can write a novel with those

[quasi merlin]

Der Schüler stört den Unterricht.
Du störst mich bei der Arbeit.
Das Gerät hat eine Störung.

[thick charm]

Der Gerät

[pine ginkgo]

:D

[thick charm]

👌

[quasi merlin]

no memes

[thick charm]

sorry

[ocean robin]

bacler and I have no idea how you do that in English

like neglect thingos

[shy bobcat]

what

[pine ginkgo]

not really

[opal sequoia]

The "negative" wasn't for heimlich, Flappy.

[ocean robin]

Yeah, for the verb right

mmmh

[shy bobcat]

Störung is not a verb

👀

[ocean robin]

[red pewter]

defect?

[ocean robin]

wOt

[red pewter]

nice!

[ocean robin]

okay so heimlich now

hmmmm

[thick charm]

Well

It's closer to disturbance

But defect is close enough, I guess

Störung is usually a temporary malfunction

Jemanden stören is to bug somebody

Or to disturb sb

[ocean robin]

I read "to buy sb" and was lost

[pine ginkgo]

disturbance works too though :P

[ocean robin]

wow

[pine ginkgo]

buy... sb?

bad flops

[thick charm]

🤔

Don't buy people

[ocean robin]

Ask that to my weird mind lol

I didn't understand either.

okay so the next word now

heimlich

[red pewter]

adverb :?

[ocean robin]

Adverb/adj

as I heard

[fair iron]

Mostly an adverb.

[red pewter]

chokingly C:

[ocean robin]

Bell likes to choke people lately.

🤔

[red pewter]

no one gets the joke 😦

i give up

[pine ginkgo]

i get it

but it's bad

[red pewter]

D:

[sudden panther]

don't just look at german and expect a translation from its constituent parts like that
Hear on with that, Arizona! German makes perfect sense if you translate it literally.

[pine ginkgo]

and so you should feel

[red pewter]

luna hates bell :c

[opal sequoia]

Poor bell. ❤

[sudden panther]

Don't worry bell, we took away Luna's hating permit after he made Ari feel like a meme. :^)

[red pewter]

like a meme 🤔

[sudden panther]

A bad meme. Stale meme. Horrible meme that doesn't speak any German.

[ocean robin]

😦

I am going to go for 20 mins.

[sudden panther]

Wooo, time to have 20 minutes of fun.

[opal sequoia]

Bye Flappy.

Wait, Flappy. First you need to now the word meaning.

kno

[ocean robin]

Arrem, if I see the word Enton, I'll swear I'll sue you. ❤

[quasi merlin]

Get the party equipment out!

[ocean robin]

know something

[opal sequoia]

It is "secret".

[shy bobcat]

wait, you'll sue arrem no matter who says it?

[ocean robin]

AH

[shy bobcat]

enton enton enton enton

😄

sue arrem

[opal sequoia]

And now remember it for later.

[shy bobcat]

[whole rapids]

Der Hut, den ich ihr verschickt hatte, wurde leider nass, als er unterwegs war. Sie hat mich streng dafür getadelt, dass ich das Paket nicht richtig verpackt habe. Es war trotzdem kein Ding, weil sie ihn einfach aufgehängt hat, und darauf gewartet hat, bis er nochmal trocken wurde. Ich bin aber froh, dass ich die Schokolade nicht heimlich ins Paket hineingesteckt hatte. Es wäre eine schöne Bescherung gewesen! @opal sequoia

I tried

[shy bobcat]

the one I'm curious about is just a gif

[fluid horizon]

;w;

Can someone help me practice simple things

[shy bobcat]

which simple things?

😄

[fluid horizon]

Basic sentence construction

[shy bobcat]

hmm,

like?

what is the sort of stuff you've been practicing recently

so I don't go above (or below even 😅) your abilities

[ocean robin]

OKAY I SUE EVERYONE

[shy bobcat]

YAY!!!! 😄

[quasi merlin]

I don't really care.

[fluid horizon]

Like.

Really basic ;w;

[shy bobcat]

ok, The father does not have a son. He has a daughter.

[fluid horizon]

Erm.

[ocean robin]

Can I have a sentence?

I am sure I can mess up the nicht placement in this sentence

[shy bobcat]

that'd impress me very much

since there's no nicht in there

[ocean robin]

true

I saw thta afterwards

[whole rapids]

Flops, translate: I would never make that mistake again.

[red pewter]

Keinnnnn

[ocean robin]

[fluid horizon]

pls no hints s:

Ich würde nie wieder diesen Fehler machen. :s

[red pewter]

Yeah. I'm pretty bummed 😦

[shy bobcat]

🤗 ❤

[ocean robin]

Well that is sad... I want to hug Bell now.

[whole rapids]

how did she not see it?

[fluid horizon]

So is that right

[ocean robin]

It is, Sly.

[whole rapids]

tick means yes

[shy bobcat]

The ✅ means "correct"

[fluid horizon]

tick?

[red pewter]

I'm assuming she was going backwards and assumes it was a completely clear driveway

[fluid horizon]

Oh I didnt see the reactions

[whole rapids]

ah, she made the cardinal error in life

[ocean robin]

Oh my sentence is right yey

[whole rapids]

"assuming" something

[fluid horizon]

I had to use my book for the sentence xS

[ocean robin]

But is your car broken, Bell? 😦

It's okay Sly. Step by step. ^^

[whole rapids]

Flops, translate: He had to use his book for that sentence.

[shy bobcat]

@fluid horizon Sorry, 😅

[fluid horizon]

Huh?

[opal sequoia]

Can you give Sly a nice sentence and then correct it, Flappy?

[shy bobcat]

I gave you the sentence 😅

[ocean robin]

Er musste sein Buch für diesen Satz benutzen. cases hmmm

[fluid horizon]

Yea but why are you sorry?

[shy bobcat]

Because idk 😅

[ocean robin]

Not sure if Buch is Akk or Dat in this case D:

[shy bobcat]

forget it 😛

[fluid horizon]

I just started learning cases today

[ocean robin]

Satz is definitely Akk because of für

[fluid horizon]

So don't worry about thinking it was too ahrd or something

[ocean robin]

But Buch hmmm

Okay Sly, the sentence should be focused on cases, right?

[whole rapids]

why would it be dative

[shy bobcat]

the cases look good 😄

[ocean robin]

oh yey

Does that mean I have a mistake somewhere?

[opal sequoia]

Sly mostly just knows nom and akk, Flappy. So don't go too crazy.

[ocean robin]

Nom and Akk? Got it.

[shy bobcat]

however, I'd recommend "diesen Satz da" so it's more "that" than "this", but the this/that distinction is quite fuzzy in german

so yours does work

[ocean robin]

The cat eats its fish. Go Sly. :D

Oh okay Ari, nice to know.

[shy bobcat]

Does Sly know past tense yet?

[ocean robin]

Ops, use "eat"instead

👀

And can I have a translationni too? :D

[shy bobcat]

hmm

[ocean robin]

I am on fire today lel

[shy bobcat]

"Flopps asked if a translation could be given to her quickly"

go floppo go!

[red pewter]

@flaps a little. I can't drive it with a broken taillight I don't think. But it's not gone forever.

[thick charm]

I broke her tail light

[red pewter]

You're my mom? 🤔

[thick charm]

No

But I'm the Ninja

That's why you didn't see me at the scene of the crime

[ocean robin]

Flopps hat gefragt, ob ein Übersetzung ihr schnell gegeben sein konnte Please kill me fir that passive, that was literally sucide and I even don't know if word order is right 🤔 It just sounds iffy as hell

[shy bobcat]

ein Übersetzung

[ocean robin]

😦

[viscid cape]

Wow.

[ocean robin]

eine pls

[viscid cape]

So my sentences are like "Sorry for not correcting"

But Arizona's

I'M ON FIRE WOW

[ocean robin]

D:

[viscid cape]

My teachings are over.

[ocean robin]

That's not what you're thinking, Krypti 😦

[shy bobcat]

do you remember how to make the passive?

not with sein

[ocean robin]

NO ;___;

uh

[pine ginkgo]

LOOK IN YOUR BOOK

[shy bobcat]

that'd be the zustandpassiv and that's not what we want

[ocean robin]

For conditional?

[shy bobcat]

No, what verb is a passive formed with

[ocean robin]

werden?

[shy bobcat]

Yes.

So why zum teufel did you say "gegeben sein konnte" 👀

[ocean robin]

oh

[shy bobcat]

You knew werden for passive already.

Stop flopsing 😦

[whole rapids]

FLOPS

[ocean robin]

gegeben worden konnte?

[whole rapids]

YOU DARE

[ocean robin]

I am sorry 😦

[shy bobcat]

"could been given" 😦

[ocean robin]

🤔

and the sein wait

gegeben worden sein konnte

wow what

[shy bobcat]

👀

"Flopps asked if a translation could be given to her quickly"

[ocean robin]

Could be huh

So drop the sein

[shy bobcat]

@whole rapids you are the expert in flop teaching

come a mon assistance

[whole rapids]

PASSIVE PASSIVE

KONJ 2 KONJ 2 KONJ 2

[ocean robin]

Konj 2?

🤔

[whole rapids]

ignore Konj 2

what is

"It was given"

[ocean robin]

past passive

with preterite

[whole rapids]

translate it

[ocean robin]

Es wurde gegeben

[whole rapids]

good

what is "it can be given"

[ocean robin]

🤔

[whole rapids]

tip

do not translate the words

translate the structure

you know it's passive

you know there's a modal verb

[ocean robin]

Es wurde gegeben konnen

I have absolutely no idea.

[whole rapids]

okay, we didn't actually do modal verbs with passive IIRC

[ocean robin]

yup

We didn't.

[whole rapids]

then we shall add it to the list

practice channel yay

[fluid horizon]

Hold on im in a game

I need to read up when im out...

[sudden panther]

@tribal warren You're still free to do everything in #questions. But #beginner-german is reserved for practice only, since we've been misusing #general-2 for months.

[tribal warren]

oh

so like Pferd's RPG would be in #beginner-german now?

[pine ginkgo]

yep

[tribal warren]

good addition

[pine ginkgo]

it was kinda fine when it was only flops doing stuff

but nowadays everyone is joining and it's probably better if we have a dedicated channel

[tribal warren]

nice

I like it

[fluid horizon]

Uh

@ocean robin Pretty sure thats genitive

[ocean robin]

Nope.

[fluid horizon]

?

[ocean robin]

Yeah, no need of Gen here.

[fluid horizon]

"its"

The fish belongs to the cat?

[thick charm]

You can form a possessive without a Genitiv

Ich spiele mit meinem Ball

The Ball still belongs to me

[fluid horizon]

I dont even know how to do that

[thick charm]

Die Katze isst ihren Fisch

[fluid horizon]

Die Katze isst _ Fisch

Like what do i put

[thick charm]

ihren

[tribal warren]

you can use a possessive pronoun

[fluid horizon]

The heck is that

[thick charm]

https://www.deutschplus.net/pages/Possessivpronomen

[tribal warren]

Dang you're fast

[ocean robin]

Aw, sorry Sly, I thought you knew those :(

[fluid horizon]

Im not even that far yet @thick charm

[thick charm]

Well yeah, just wanted to show you that you can show possession without a Genitiv

[fluid horizon]

I cant even read that site

[thick charm]

Just scroll down

[ocean robin]

but if you want to say the cat's fish that is Gen

[thick charm]

there's a list

[fluid horizon]

I see the list

But I dont get it

Why is it ihren

?

[thick charm]

sie

3rd person singular

die Katze

[ocean robin]

It's supposed to have all the four cases.

[thick charm]

She

She eats her fish

pretty much

[fluid horizon]

Why is it sie??

[thick charm]

Because Katze is female

[ocean robin]

Because die Katze.

die -> sie

Like hm let me give you an example

[fluid horizon]

Die Katze isst ihren Fisch?

[thick charm]

yup

[ocean robin]

Ich habe eine Katze. Sie heißt Maya.

[fluid horizon]

But what if its a male cat...

[thick charm]

Then it's Der Kater

[ocean robin]

ein Kater

[fluid horizon]

tf...

[thick charm]

Every Kater is still a Katze

[fluid horizon]

n<

[thick charm]

That's the umbrella term

[tribal warren]

Kater is also hangover, right?

[thick charm]

Just like every tomcat is also a cat

[tribal warren]

or was it something close

[thick charm]

Yup, Berg

[fluid horizon]

<n>

[pine ginkgo]

have you tried learning any other language yet, sly?

[fluid horizon]

Spanish...

[tribal warren]

🌮

[pine ginkgo]

spanish has gendered nouns too

[fluid horizon]

It does not act like this

Yea but it doesn't do it to that extent

[tribal warren]

it doesn't have article declension

[fluid horizon]

besides lo/la/los/las

[tribal warren]

is that you mean?

[fluid horizon]

Theres no thing for kein

theres no such thing as genitive because

Es la casa de Phil.

[thick charm]

It acts just like English with gendered nouns. You can replace 'the guy' with 'he' in given context in English, just like you could say 'er' for 'der Mann' in German

Pronouns really aren't that different.

[fluid horizon]

okay

but when you say "it"

in english

That doesnt apply

The cat eats its food

[thick charm]

Well no, that's where the gendered nouns come in

[fluid horizon]

What gender is the cat

[thick charm]

And that's what you'll have to learn by heart

[fluid horizon]

So its not really similar...

[thick charm]

Of course it is, the gender just adds another layer.

[fluid horizon]

I dont have to specify its gender in english lmao

[thick charm]

If you learn the gender of a word, you won't have any trouble with this.

Not what I'm saying.

[fluid horizon]

I did learn the gender of the word but like

Im just not that far yet ;w;

Didn't even know that was a possibility.

Okay. Anyways...

[pine ginkgo]

now you know^^

[fluid horizon]

I guess thats going to be something that comes up.

[pine ginkgo]

it's pretty important, so it's good that it comes up earlier for you

[fluid horizon]

n<

Can I have another sentence..?

@thick charm

maybe

Or @ocean robin <~>

[ocean robin]

A sentence?

[fluid horizon]

Yea

[ocean robin]

hmmm

I am buying candy.

[pine ginkgo]

uh

don't use present progressive, floop

[ocean robin]

ops

👀

I buy candy then

[fluid horizon]

uh.. Ich kaufe eine Süßigkeit.

Present progressive doesn't exist in German right? @pine ginkgo

[pine ginkgo]

yep

[fluid horizon]

I buy a candy

lol

[pine ginkgo]

it's not that complicated to translate in basic sentences, but if you don't know it, it can be difficult

[fluid horizon]

What i said is wrong

Ich kaufe Süßigkeiten.

Right?

[ocean robin]

okay so that work but buying one candy is pretty wierd :D

Weird. Huh.

Candies then. Write the sentence as if you bought a lot of candy.

[pine ginkgo]

it was fine

[whole rapids]

BUY ALL CANDY

[fluid horizon]

Which is right

[ocean robin]

The second misses an article so the first is okay

[fluid horizon]

But isnt candy plural

oh

[ocean robin]

Süßigkeiten for plural :D

[fluid horizon]

right?

Is it right now ;-;

[ocean robin]

yap

[fluid horizon]

s:

Does someone wanna do some more with me possibly. Pretty bored <n>

[viscid cape]

The man is what he eats

Sly doesn't your book have exercises?

[whole rapids]

The typical phrase is with a btw

[fluid horizon]

Yea my book has exercises but like.

I need interaction with some people Dx

Der Mann ist was er essen.

So this feels very off to me.

But it has to be my guess because I don't know what else it would be lol

[ocean robin]

Conjugation of essen. :P

[pine ginkgo]

mhh, i don't think sly had subordinate clauses yet, so...

[ocean robin]

And also, something is missing.

Yeah, I think he had the word order right by accident, actually.

[fluid horizon]

Der Mann ist was er isst.

Wait this has a subordinate clause?

[pine ginkgo]

yep

[fluid horizon]

is "was" the beginning of a new clause?

[pine ginkgo]

yep

[fluid horizon]

Der Mann ist _, was er isst. But the man is what...

[pine ginkgo]

nono

not the man

the thing he is eating

[fluid horizon]

What is he eating though..

[pine ginkgo]

you are implying something here

[tribal warren]

Der Mann isst, was er isst

[pine ginkgo]

The man is (the thing), what/that he eats

mmhh is a bit different in english

but that's the sense

[fluid horizon]

But what word do I put there

Like

Happy now Berg? >~>

[tribal warren]

I'm just kidding

my meme phrase is

"The man eats, what he eats"

[fluid horizon]

Oh

I read ist

lol

[tribal warren]

@pine ginkgo we being bad today?

[fluid horizon]

I thought you literally said what i said then

So im clearly missing something

"that"?

maybe?

Der Mann ist das, was er isst.?

[hot cloak]

Man ist, was man isst. Ist eine Art Metapher, aber das Bild ist das Ich und wird nicht übertragen. Darum ist es keine Redewendung. Auf jeden Fall ist es richtig, wie du es geschrieben hast.

[fluid horizon]

sighs and pulls up translator

[hot cloak]

dont pull the translator, all i said is, that you have written it right. U dont miss anything.

[fluid horizon]

Well I want to know what you said

And it was already translated before you said what you said lol

But like when people try to explain someting to me in German I can't grasp whats being said yet

[hot cloak]

OK, if u need help, i can try to explain, what i said.

[fluid horizon]

Well the translator did that >~>

:p

[hot cloak]

Hmm, since when are translators able to translate longer phrases?^^

[fluid horizon]

Im like... Really new to everything. Especially today since I read a little but about cases.

[pine ginkgo]

deepL is pretty good :)

[fluid horizon]

https://www.deepl.com/translator

[pine ginkgo]

don't worry, sly

[hot cloak]

hmm, thanks

[pine ginkgo]

you are doing good

you are just finding out new stuff so quickly currently

[hot cloak]

u are doing good, that phrase was hard and you did it right

[fluid horizon]

Yea but I don't know why and I needed to look up what was missing

lol

I tend not to give myself any credit at all :c

[pine ginkgo]

you should

you are learning for about two weeks or so

so don't worry, sly

[sudden panther]

Learning things in general instead of practice.
bans everyone

[hot cloak]

To look up is very important..I am also looking stuff up

thats normal

[tribal warren]

Luner you didn't answer me

[pine ginkgo]

not sure

maybe idk

[tribal warren]

it's fine

[pine ginkgo]

i kinda only want to play pokemon atm lel

[tribal warren]

[hot cloak]

[tribal warren]

haHAA

[hot cloak]

damn u are fast with your jokes O:

[fluid horizon]

I know @pine ginkgo >n< But for some reason I just don't give myself any credit at all really unless I can do it all my own.. :/

[tribal warren]

it's okay Luner, play your pokemons

[hot cloak]

or in this case "Pun"^^

[pine ginkgo]

mhh, sly, i understand you, but a new language is a massive undertaking

[tribal warren]

Berg isn't even that fun

[pine ginkgo]

so, if you continue to think so, you might not feel happy at all for 1-2 years

[hot cloak]

u are full of fun O: "spongebob - song*

[fluid horizon]

I mean I guess I'm not happy atm because I thought it was something I could do and then I couldnt Dx

[hot cloak]

O:

dude u are very new o: u aint learning since 10years

[fluid horizon]

I know xD

[tribal warren]

Sly

you won't learn from day to night

[whole rapids]

Sly, do you have this issue of self-encouragement with every new skill you undertake?

[pine ginkgo]

well, if it keeps you from slacking, i won't reproach you

but you should be able to be happy about your progress too :)

[fluid horizon]

Yea but looking something up or being given it feels like a defeat. Until I have no more ideas then I get upset with myself for some reason lol

[shy bobcat]

👀 😦

[fluid horizon]

Uhhhh @whole rapids Maybe..

Eh not really I suppose. Today has just been weird.

Im trying to get rid of that way of thinking anyways.

[pine ginkgo]

mhh, but you have to look up some stuff anyway

[fluid horizon]

Mhm. I know that xD

[pine ginkgo]

we can't expect you to know everything by your own

[fluid horizon]

Nor can I.

[hot cloak]

is ther a way to get better at Orthografie?

i think this is the hardest part in german ;/ Isnt there an app, where i can test my Rechtschreibung?

[fluid horizon]

@pine ginkgo This feeling isnt as bad as it used to be so I have improved there at least. c:

[hot cloak]

or can somebody write something in german with mistakes and i ll try to correct it?

[fluid horizon]

So my German 😆

not trying to down myself I thought that would actually be funny xD

[hot cloak]

Sly, can u write somethin in german, and i ll gonna correct it?

[fluid horizon]

Spelling?

[hot cloak]

Yep

[fluid horizon]

Like with a spelling error?

[hot cloak]

[fluid horizon]

Uhh. Im pretty basic.

Soooooo.. gimme a second

Wait purely spelling or like cases?

[hot cloak]

[fluid horizon]

Cause I don't think I can come up with something to spell wrong that isnt like Hund vs Hunt

[hot cloak]

hmm, ok. 😛

[pine ginkgo]

[fluid horizon]

^

[hot cloak]

oh god 😭 i just cant get better with spelling 😭

hehe

[fluid horizon]

Duetsch <w>

[hot cloak]

Deutsch :Kappa:

[pine ginkgo]

Er gink eines Tahges manschmal gern in den Walt, damit er seina Mutter ein Geshenk im Form einer Fruchtekorps gäben kan. Nachdem er diese Aufgahbe eledigd hat, stolsierte er frühlig mit langen Schriten dem Weck entlang nach Hause.

let's try this? :x

sorry, not doing this too often^^

[fluid horizon]

problem is that looking at it from my perspective I couldn't even tell if there was anything wrong xD

[hot cloak]

Eines Tages ging er in den Wald, damit er seiner Mutter ein Geschenk, in Form eines Früchtekorbs, geben konnte. Nachdem er diese Aufgabe eledigt hatte, stolzierte er fröhlich und mit grossen Schritten,den Weg entlang, zurück nach Hause.

[pine ginkgo]

vielleicht sollte ich einfach einen youtube kommentar raussuchen :P

[hot cloak]

das war sehr gut^^

hast dir viele Gedanken gemacht

[pine ginkgo]

mh die letzten beiden kommas sind nicht nötig

[whole rapids]

Fix: I geh nachheim

[hot cloak]

Nachdem er diese Aufgabe eledigt hatte, stolzierte er fröhlich und mit grossen Schritten den Weg entlang, zurück nach Hause.

besser, oder?

[pine ginkgo]

das letzte komma auch raus

[hot cloak]

hmm, die INterpunktion macht mir auch Probleme

[pine ginkgo]

der part braucht kein komma

[hot cloak]

ok

danke^^

aber der Rest war in Ordnung?

Eines Tages und manchmal geht nicht:p

[pine ginkgo]

ja :D

[hot cloak]

xd

[pine ginkgo]

gut, dass dir das aufgefallen ist^^

ich wollte das rausnehmen eigentlich :P

[hot cloak]

^^ ich fands tricky

war verwirrt am Anfang

[pine ginkgo]

glaub ich dir, ich war auch verwirrt, als ich das am ende nochmal durchgelesen habe :D

aber dann hab ich es einfach drin gelassen^^

[hot cloak]

xDDD manno man, dass macht Spass^^

Schade, ist es so aufwendig xddd und selber machen, kann man sowas nicht, ausser man wartet paar WOchenxD

und hofft, dass man seine Ideen vergisst^^

[pine ginkgo]

ja, es ist "erstaunlich" viel aufwand, gute fehler zu machen

[hot cloak]

jup

[pine ginkgo]

ich kann ja nicht einfach jedes d in ein t oder immer ein h nach einem vokal einfügen

das wird ja langweilig nach ner weile^^

[hot cloak]

hmm, glaube, sowas sehe ich, aber naja ;/ Ich verstehe halt nicht, warum ich, ab und zu, so viele Fehler mache, dann wieder nicht.

[pine ginkgo]

kann ich dir jetzt auch nicht unbedingt sagen

kann mich jetzt auch nicht wirklich an auffällige fehler bei dir erinnern :/

[shy bobcat]

Gib mir auch ein bisschen yt-rechtschreibung 😄

[pine ginkgo]

such dir die selbst raus

ich mach das jetzt nicht^^

[fluid horizon]

[hot cloak]

i will correct anything^^

[gusty linden]

Eine separte Mail dazu würde ich dann in Kürze an an Euch schicken.

Macht klar, dass ihr mit diesen Änderungen nicht einverstanden sein.

[gusty linden]

Außerdem überlege ich, ob ich neben Studium und Freunden überhaupt Zeit dafür habe, wir wohnen ja so weit außeinander.

There's something left in the first sentence, take a closer look 😉

[hot cloak]

Außerdem überlege ich mir, ob ich neben dem Studium, überhaupt Zeit dafür habe, wir wohnen so weit außeinander, dass ich nicht glaube, eine Vereinbarung mit euch zu finden.

Eine separte E-Mail werde ich in Kürze an Euch schicken.

[gusty linden]

Wow, you're thinking a bit too complicated

[whole rapids]

separte

[hot cloak]

oh lol

Die kompletten Einnahmen werden zugunsten von Waisenkindern gespendet, also tragt dazu bei einem Waisenkind ein Lächeln zu zaubern.

[hot cloak]

ich möchte es auch gleich stillistisch verbessern

[gusty linden]

I think this last one will sound odd to a native, but I'm not sure if that counts as a mistake

[hot cloak]

Die kompletten Einnahmen werden zugunsten von Waisenkindern gespendet, also tragt ihr dazu bei, einem Waisenkind, ein Lächeln zu zaubern.

[pine ginkgo]

deine kommasetzung ist komisch^^

[hot cloak]

xD

ja, stimmt ;/

das ihr hat dort gefehlt

[gusty linden]

Was mir an dem Satz aufgefallen ist, hat weder mit Grammatik, noch mit Kommasetzung oder Rechtschreibung im Allgemeinen zu tun 😛

[pine ginkgo]

(ich hab ehrlich gesagt, keine ahnung, was du da meinst)

[gusty linden]

Also ich kenne als Redewendung nur "ein Lächeln auf die Lippen/ins Gesicht zaubern"

[pine ginkgo]

ja klar

aber auslassung kann man ja auch mal machen^^

aber

ja, verstehe

[gusty linden]

Ja, deswegen war ich mir nicht sicher

Grauzone

Kann man machen 😄

[pine ginkgo]

mhh

wo du das jetzt sagst

stimme ich dir zu, das würde besser sein, wenn man das ergänzen würde^^

[hot cloak]

habe oft gelesen, dass Änderungen von solchen "Redewendungen" stillistisch gut seien.

weil es kreativer ist

aber vielleicht hast du Recht.

Die kompletten Einnahmen werden zugunsten von Waisenkindern gespendet. Ihr tragt dazu bei, einem Waisenkind ein Lächeln auf die Lippen zu zaubern.

Ich schaue mal, ob ich noch eine Regenhose habe, dann bin ich Wetterunabhängig.

[pine ginkgo]

aber es ist in ordnung

[gusty linden]

das Musikalische Opfer* (das heißt wirklich so)

[whole rapids]

is sowie acting like sowohl ... als auch in the previous sentence?

[pine ginkgo]

oh

nuuuun, das konnte man nicht unbedingt wissen :D

[gusty linden]

Ja, das stimmt
