Was ist deine Lieblingsfarbe? @ocean robin

[thick charm]

Wer anderen eine Grube gräbt?

[tribal warren]

Yes?

[placid heath]

Grubenbratwurstbratgerät

[tribal warren]

no

I'll never know again

I NEED TO KNOW

[fluid horizon]

Wait when can you combine words

It’s like school and house in English schoolhouse is something else

Or camp ground campground

But how do you know when you can do that in German

Because that was “favorite color” wasn’t it?

[thick charm]

Lieblings- is a special case

You can generally 'only' combine nouns.

[fluid horizon]

Ohhhh that’s what the - means?

[thick charm]

Yeah when it's Something- it means that's the beginning of the word

-Something means it's the ending.

[fluid horizon]

Ohhh

Okay

did I make everyone leave D:

I don't even know what a ballast is

lemme google it

[thick charm]

gravel

the gravel they put under the tracks

that's known as a ballast bed.

[tribal warren]

oh

B2 English confirmed

[fluid horizon]

Same though like

[thick charm]

Eh I mean that's a super specific thing

You don't need to know that

[tribal warren]

[fluid horizon]

But you know it lol

blauer schirm des todes

[thick charm]

You know

because that exists

[fluid horizon]

Can you make the sentence so I could see the construction

[pine ginkgo]

blauer schirm :D

[tribal warren]

I almost typed Daltonic lol

instead of colorblind

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo

[thick charm]

It's literally the same sentence with an 'and' slapped at the beginning.

[fluid horizon]

What?

No

[thick charm]

Was ist deine Lieblingsfarbe?
Und was ist deine Lieblingsfarbe?

[fluid horizon]

Response

[thick charm]

I'm blue da bu dee da bu daa

Ari pls, that's not only a Schirm

[tribal warren]

I'm blue I would beat off a guy

[thick charm]

That's a specific kind of Schirm

[placid heath]

http://www.deutschseite.de/grammatik/pronomen/possessivpronomen.html

[fluid horizon]

Right

Sein

[ocean robin]

Ich bin zurück ^.^

[thick charm]

Willkommen zurück, Flappy!

[placid heath]

wb floop

[fluid horizon]

I am back?

[thick charm]

yes

[fluid horizon]

How did you pull that up so fast Chuck holy

[thick charm]

I googled for Possessivpronomen German

[ocean robin]

Aber ich werde in 30 Minuten gehen, weil ich in einem Restaurant essen werde :D
(damn why do I want to talk in German so much today holy moly 🤔 )

LOL

[placid heath]

Floop

[thick charm]

Was wirst du dir in dem Restaurant bestellen?

[ocean robin]

korea

[shy bobcat]

das weiß ich ja nicht aber das ist ne gute sache 😄

[placid heath]

When did you get A2/B1 btw

[fluid horizon]

Yea but that was very quick

[ocean robin]

Well, I did get A2 in August ot something because before my German was shit

[placid heath]

Well. You're much better than three weeks ago.

[thick charm]

Also yes I gotta say I'm proud of you for actually forming that sentence without flopsing.

[shy bobcat]

ja

[ocean robin]

DEAR GOD

[shy bobcat]

Flops hat nen flopslosen Satz formuliert 😮 😮 😮

[thick charm]

Also do you think you could answer my question?

[ocean robin]

yes wait

Before I have a question, Chuck

[thick charm]

Take your time!

[fluid horizon]

Flops made a flopless sentence?

[ocean robin]

Are "abbekommen" and "bekommen" the same or do they have a difference?

[thick charm]

There is a difference.

[ocean robin]

Which is? 🤔

I know one is like "to obtain" and the other "to get"

[thick charm]

Well they can mean the same technically. Bekommen is to be given something and abbekommen usually implies you get a part of something.

[ocean robin]

Oooh.

To get a part of something, intresting

[placid heath]

Schläge abbekommen? 😏 ✊🏻

[thick charm]

It can have a few more translations like 'etwas abbekommen', to get something off. Like getting a painting off a wall.

And to get hurt

But don't worry about those just yet, alright?

The clue is always in the context.

[fluid horizon]

Huh

[tribal warren]

But Floops

[fluid horizon]

Does that mean what I think @placid heath

[ocean robin]

And I don't know the word but let's take a wild guess, is bestellen to order?

[tribal warren]

Was wirst du bestellen?

[thick charm]

Yup

[placid heath]

which one

[tribal warren]

oh

[placid heath]

Schläge abbekommen?

[thick charm]

Well done, Flappy

[tribal warren]

she remembered your question Chuck

[ocean robin]

\o/

[tribal warren]

I thought she was gonna flop out

[fluid horizon]

Yes Korea

[thick charm]

See? You just need to ask nicely.

[tribal warren]

Flapps can you please not divide by 0?

Hope that works

[placid heath]

it's like taking some punches or something like that

[ocean robin]

LOL

SURE

[fluid horizon]

It’s definitely not >.>

[placid heath]

SoylentLuna bekommt Schläge ab SoylentLunerd gets punched

[tribal warren]

xd

SilentLuna best Luna

[fluid horizon]

The first one seems to not be that 🤔

[tribal warren]

REEE?

[placid heath]

My english translations might be the issue

[tribal warren]

REEEM

[placid heath]

REM?

[fluid horizon]

Nah what deepl said

[tribal warren]

A

[placid heath]

LOSING MY RELIGION

[tribal warren]

REEEM

[placid heath]

what did deepl say

[tribal warren]

mmm

[fluid horizon]

Lol

[thick charm]

Not that kind of beating

[ocean robin]

Und Chuck, ich weiß das noch nicht, aber weil es ein marokkanisches Restaurant ist, vielleicht werde ich ein Couscous bestellen ^.^

[tribal warren]

hahaha

[fluid horizon]

I know @thick charm lol

[tribal warren]

Couscous

fancy

[placid heath]

Oh

[thick charm]

Das klingt lecker!

[ocean robin]

but the way wot

[placid heath]

the ? was not supposed to be part of the sentence

[thick charm]

Just one tiny little thing

The last clause should start with werde

[ocean robin]

yeah D:

[thick charm]

But heeeey

[fluid horizon]

Hahahah why does that change it

[tribal warren]

couscous in spoken portuguese means "with the assholes"

[ocean robin]

because surbodinate clause before

[thick charm]

That's minor

I'm so proud of you

[ocean robin]

Thanks Chuck :D

[placid heath]

Mi papa a 42 anos.

[ocean robin]

oh

[thick charm]

So you probably figured this out yourself but it should be 'werde ich vielleicht (ein) Couscous bestellen.'

👌

[ocean robin]

yap

[fluid horizon]

Floop

[ocean robin]

Oh Korea, halbas español? :>

[thick charm]

Also food generally doesn't need articles

[ocean robin]

oh

til

[thick charm]

Unless it's specifically just one of a piece

like eine Pizza

[fluid horizon]

Was ist deine Lieblingsfarbe, Floop?

[placid heath]

[placid heath]

And I know another R-rated sentence in spanish

that Alliceon taught me

[tribal warren]

argentines*

[fluid horizon]

I know a bad one in Spanish too lol

[ocean robin]

Mein Lieblingsfarbe, hm. Ich würde sagen, dass es gelb, rot oder gelb ist, bin ich nicht sicher. 🤔

[placid heath]

tengo grandes ...

[tribal warren]

dass es gelb, rot oder gelb ist

[thick charm]

gelb, rot oder gelb

lol

[tribal warren]

I MEAN

IT'S EITHER

[ocean robin]

ops

D:

[tribal warren]

YELLOW

[fluid horizon]

Wow way more complex

[ocean robin]

I wanted to say blau x.x

[pine ginkgo]

lol

[placid heath]

Cordon blau.

[tribal warren]

WHAT

[ocean robin]

[tribal warren]

HFGIRHAHAHAH

KOREA

[ocean robin]

[thick charm]

Right okay. It's die Lieblingsfarbe and I'm gonan say that's just a typo because you know that.

[placid heath]

[ocean robin]

yes

:(

[tribal warren]

Aber kein gewöhnliches Gelb, oder?

ENTONGELB

[fluid horizon]

So

[ocean robin]

OH BERG

[fluid horizon]

Yellow or red?

[thick charm]

But that last part is a little rough. You should either say 'Ich bin nicht sicher' or 'Ich bin mir nicht sicher'

[ocean robin]

GET OUT OF HERE

[tribal warren]

Or blue

[thick charm]

Do you know why?

[tribal warren]

yes

good bye

[ocean robin]

Nah.

[tribal warren]

ban myself

[viral thunder]

❌ Check failed. You probably don't have permission to do this.

[ocean robin]

No idea Chuck 🤔

[placid heath]

diepleasethanks

[ocean robin]

wow

[viral thunder]

❌ Check failed. You probably don't have permission to do this.

[fluid horizon]

Wait why blue

[thick charm]

That part should be a new sentence altogether.

[ocean robin]

:O

[tribal warren]

if you're saying: I'm not sure about something

[thick charm]

or at least a new main clause.

[tribal warren]

do you use über?

[fluid horizon]

Didn’t floops say yellow or red

[tribal warren]

ich bin mich nicht sicher darüber

?

[thick charm]

Close, Berg.

[tribal warren]

daran?

[thick charm]

oh yes

that's right

your sentence is right

[ocean robin]

Sly, I just said that I am not so sure about my favorite color, but I would say it would be either yellow, blue or red ^.^

[thick charm]

I was refering to über

and how you should rather use darüber

but u smart

[tribal warren]

i loyal

[ocean robin]

berg is smart

[viscid cape]

Pats Floppo

[fluid horizon]

But you said yellow twice?

[ocean robin]

weee

Yeah, that was a flop

forgive me

[cold vessel]

I think flappy's going to overtake me 🤔

[fluid horizon]

Oh

[tribal warren]

she meant blue

[ocean robin]

The heck Henbri 🤔

[tribal warren]

she was going for blue

but her mind is colorblind

[fluid horizon]

Okay i got it

Lol

[ocean robin]

LOL

[thick charm]

Yeah, Flappy has improved a lot these past few weeks.

[tribal warren]

dude why does portuguese have to be so different

our word for color blind is "daltonic'

[thick charm]

Now she can form entire sentences on her own with only minor mistakes.

[tribal warren]

Cause Dalton was colorblind

[ocean robin]

Hey Berg

In French it's daltonien

[tribal warren]

"daltônico"

WHOA

[ocean robin]

high five

[placid heath]

evolved to :akwakwak:

[tribal warren]

HIGH FIVE

[ocean robin]

[tribal warren]

cool cool, daltônico, daltonien

[tribal warren]

[thick charm]

[thick charm]

Just ignoring that we actually have a high five emote on the server

[tribal warren]

I'm so proud

[sudden panther]

Krypti will become a real person when Flops becomes B1. 2039.

[placid heath]

I'm so proud of my Ackermann function. It grows so fast.

ik 🚪

Arrem

[fluid horizon]

I’m gonna be B1 so fast :3

[placid heath]

You know Minimum Spanning Trees?

[fluid horizon]

UNDER 5 YEARS INC

[viscid cape]

I took about 3 years to be B1

[sudden panther]

I know what they are.

[placid heath]

Do you know algorithms for them? Like Boruvka's, Prim's or Kruskal's?

[sudden panther]

The last 2, yes.

[viscid cape]

Shut it nerds

[pine ginkgo]

i only heard of prim's :(

[fluid horizon]

@viscid cape And now you can help me get there quicker 😄

[viscid cape]

Half algorithms have russian names

[placid heath]

Kruskal with Rank-Sorted/FF-Union/Find structures has O(m a(n,m)) running time, right?

With a being the ackermann function

[viscid cape]

@fluid horizon 👁u👁

[fluid horizon]

OwO

[placid heath]

*inverse

[whole rapids]

under 5 years?

[placid heath]

not the ackermann function itself

[whole rapids]

took me 5 months

[sudden panther]

Fok if I know, laddie.

[rain summit]

Oh everybody is in here 😛 Was it some of you guys who mentioned playing OW earlier? Im bad with names ^^

[fluid horizon]

Well I don’t know what B1 really is

But I’m learning quick imo

Lol

[sudden panther]

@ Luner Kruskal's is basically "hey why don't you pick out all the edges with the lowest weights but like try not to make any cycles you shit"

[rain summit]

Pferd you were B1 in 5 months? 😮

[pine ginkgo]

B1 is when you can hold conversations in german with only feeling a bit like a dumbass

:)

[placid heath]

That's the running time

[fluid horizon]

Well I plan to get there quickly but I should really work on my vocab some

[placid heath]

The alpha part is <= 5 for every m, n up to 2^250

[whole rapids]

nah, I lied

[rain summit]

Dont say 5 weeks 😛

[sudden panther]

Hot.

[placid heath]

And the data structure used for it is really easy

[whole rapids]

maybe if I exclude the time when I wasn't in class it would be 5 months

[placid heath]

(the runtime analysis isn't tho)

[fluid horizon]

@whole rapids Want to practice o:

[whole rapids]

okay, I give you impossible sentence

[rain summit]

Even then 5 months seems really really fast! Wish I could 😛

[whole rapids]

Translate: One day I will walk on the Moon.

[placid heath]

TL;DR

[whole rapids]

I return in an hour

[fluid horizon]

Oh hmm

[placid heath]

Union-Find with Rank-Order/FF forests is fast AF

[fluid horizon]

This is a hard one lmao

[shy bobcat]

You can do it 😄

[pine ginkgo]

ask questions about things you don't know

[shy bobcat]

^^

[pine ginkgo]

cause there things you don't know :)

[shy bobcat]

hehehe yeah

Oh yeah that's right 🤔

hehehheh

[cold vessel]

🤔

[fluid horizon]

I think

Dereinst, ich werde auf dem Mond laufen.

That was my educated research trial and error attempt @whole rapids

xD

[placid heath]

Dereinst sounds reaaaally formal

[fluid horizon]

But does it work o:

[placid heath]

As a word yes

But word order & commas

[fluid horizon]

Yea I tried my hardest with word order

[placid heath]

Tell me if you want the solution^^

[fluid horizon]

Naut yet pls

[placid heath]

kk

It's not far to the solution btw

[pine ginkgo]

Pferd will teach you a lot new things later it seems :)

[placid heath]

Btw, there's a more natural translation for one day

Which almost seems like a literal translation (but cases)

[fluid horizon]

Einmal?

Or it was like eines Tages or something lol

[placid heath]

^

Eines Tages

[obsidian cipher]

Does that mean like your day?

[placid heath]

No

[fluid horizon]

It’s VERY hard picking and choosing from a dictionary

[placid heath]

Eines Tages = one day ...

[cold vessel]

Btw, can anyone explain when you need to use laufen instead of gehen?

[obsidian cipher]

Okay!

Thanks

[placid heath]

Like in one day I'll kill a horse by drinking its blood until it's empty

[cold vessel]

🤔

[obsidian cipher]

okay

How like this

[placid heath]

In german:

[sudden panther]

Until the horse is empty or until the blood is empty?

[obsidian cipher]

'This is my day'

[placid heath]

Eines Tages werde ich ein Pferd töten indem ich sein Blut trinke bis es leer ist

Arrem

I expected a Konjunktiv joke.

:(

[shy bobcat]

I don't get it

[sudden panther]

Sorry. 😛

[placid heath]

Horse 1 or Horse 2?

[shy bobcat]

What konj joke were you expecting

Oj

[obsidian cipher]

would Des Tages mich mean - My day in the dative case?

[placid heath]

No

[pine ginkgo]

Genitive

[fluid horizon]

I think I just read something that seemed to give it away :/

[obsidian cipher]

sorry, I get the names mixed up

[placid heath]

Well Sly

That just means you learned sth, didn't you? :D

[fluid horizon]

Well maybe idk

I like struggling

[cold vessel]

So. laufen vs gehen?

[fluid horizon]

Eines Tages werde ich auf dem Mond laufen.

Wait I need to use gehen...?

[placid heath]

I understand laufen as faster than gehen

but in everyday speech I don't make a difference

no sly

It's fine

:)

[fluid horizon]

Also is it laufen or wandeln

[shy bobcat]

I woulda said gehen myself lol but yeah

😄

[placid heath]

I wouldn't use wandeln

It's a strange word anyways

[fluid horizon]

Okay xD

[placid heath]

(at least for walking)

[fluid horizon]

I didn’t want to use it anyways

[cold vessel]

Eines Tages werde ich auf dem Mond spazieren gehen

[fluid horizon]

What?

[placid heath]

Dereinst werde ich auf dem Erdtrabanten flanieren.

[shy bobcat]

Ein Tag ich will gehen auf dem Mond

[placid heath]

E: Prevented GDR jokes

[fluid horizon]

Isn’t that want to go to the moon?

[placid heath]

Ari = Meme

[shy bobcat]

Its also horrible grammar

[placid heath]

Ignore what he said

plz

[shy bobcat]

and a joke

[placid heath]

xD

[shy bobcat]

😉

[fluid horizon]

Ohk

@whole rapids I beat your hour :3

[shy bobcat]

I give serious solutions if the learner doesn't get it but if they do I give a meme

[fluid horizon]

Yea but like still that’s hard for me to understand lol

Dative I got that made sense

But why does ich follow werde

[cold vessel]

Because German has V2 word order in main clauses

Ie. the verb goes second

[fluid horizon]

Tbh only got that because I read Korea’s sentence >.>

But what does Eines Tages represent in the construction of the sentence

[shy bobcat]

V2 order - eines Tages | *werde* | ich ich | *werde* | eines Tages

[fluid horizon]

What

[ocean robin]

Eines Tages will ich auf dem Mond gehen Ari

[fluid horizon]

Oh wait

[shy bobcat]

Floop if you think I didn't know how to say that then

[placid heath]

Floop correcting memes

[ocean robin]

yes

[placid heath]

Mein Gott, dass ich das noch erleben darf

[shy bobcat]

You've misunderstood the entire point of meme answers @ocean robin

[ocean robin]

I just wanted to correct memes

That is fun

[fluid horizon]

Ich werde eines Tages auf dem Mond laufen.

[placid heath]

✅

[ocean robin]

Laufen?

[placid heath]

Laufen

[fluid horizon]

So that also works?

[ocean robin]

You want to run on the moon?

🤔

[fluid horizon]

Walk

[placid heath]

Floop, I use laufen in colloquial speech as an equivalent to gehen

[ocean robin]

I would say gehen tbh

[placid heath]

yeah

[shy bobcat]

Ich wollte nur zu korrekten Memes 😦

[placid heath]

that's correct^^

But laufen works too

[fluid horizon]

But it’s easier for me because like

Gehen already means 80 things

[placid heath]

And the difference isn't that clear cut - at least not for me

[fluid horizon]

But yay I did it .w.

[whole rapids]

I am the return.

[shy bobcat]

😄

[whole rapids]

I see you did it.

now you are ready for the next step

[shy bobcat]

👀

[cold vessel]

For actual running wouldn't one use rennen?

[placid heath]

Ari, falls du dir ein deutsches Video ansehen willst, #german-only :)

(extra3)

[fluid horizon]

joggen?

[placid heath]

@whole rapids, laufen oder gehen?

[whole rapids]

Translate: I would have had my socks already, if the shop had not been ransacked. @fluid horizon

[shy bobcat]

@placid heath extra3 😄 😄 😍

[pine ginkgo]

Lol pferd

[whole rapids]

I dunno, my thought was laufen when I made the sentence

[placid heath]

kk^^

Solet

Laufen oder gehen?

[fluid horizon]

Isn’t that past o:

[pine ginkgo]

Kommt drauf an

[whole rapids]

my sweet summer child

[pine ginkgo]

Wenn man sich bewegen will laufen

[whole rapids]

it is much more than just past

[placid heath]

Würdest du laufen für gehen verwenden, im alltäglichen?

[pine ginkgo]

Generell gehen

Gehen

[placid heath]

so Wollen wir zum Aldi laufen?

mkay

[pine ginkgo]

Ne

[fluid horizon]

Past perfect or something

[placid heath]

scheint n dialektdingens zu sein

[pine ginkgo]

Will mich ja nicht anstrengen müssen

Laufen ist, wenn du dich schnell bewegst

[placid heath]

Pferd fängt gleich mit dem Konjunktiv an

Für nen A1 nach zwei wochen

lol

[pine ginkgo]

Pferd hat zu tun und watschelt sly ab

:(

[placid heath]

Pferd = Böse

[pine ginkgo]

Freilich

[whole rapids]

😃

anyway ignore the sentence

[placid heath]

Gute Miene zum bösen Spiel

[fluid horizon]

What

[whole rapids]

well you can try

I give you a day

[fluid horizon]

What did Solet say

[placid heath]

Sly, the sentence has a conditional and stuff

That's A2/B1

[whole rapids]

he said "Pferd is a nice fella"

[placid heath]

Yeah

Pferd is busy and tries to not have to deal with sly or something like that

[fluid horizon]

Oh lol

Well I’ll try

[whole rapids]

I am busy eating

need to code too later

I can give you random sentences and check in on you

[fluid horizon]

Yea

I like those

Like that took like 40 minutes to figure out

[pine ginkgo]

Nice, we correctly guessed pferd being böse

[placid heath]

Sly

If you want I can give you a sentence with different content but the same structure with a translation^^

[whole rapids]

Sly I give you tip

[ocean robin]

Tbh, I am still thinking on how you would deal with Pferd's sentence

[whole rapids]

don't do the sentence

[placid heath]

Unless you want to try it without any help :D

[ocean robin]

#beginner-german exists too lol

[whole rapids]

I give better tip

Floop and Sly work together

[placid heath]

^

[ocean robin]

o

[cold vessel]

Work together on what sentence?

[shy bobcat]

The böse one

[ocean robin]

Translate: I would have had my socks already, if the shop had not been ransacked.

okay

So I have a wild guess 🤔

[whole rapids]

henbruas is team leader

[cold vessel]

But I'm already done 🤔

[whole rapids]

that's why you're the leader

now help the others

[pine ginkgo]

Look at henbri STILL not being b

[cold vessel]

tries to not have to deal with

🤔

[fluid horizon]

But I’m not even that far

[placid heath]

An euphemism henbri

I didn't know what else to say

[fluid horizon]

I think this sentence is pointless for me to translate unless I learn the whole concept

Or

Concepts rather

[cold vessel]

I know what it means, just trying to figure out how you would translate it, Korea

[placid heath]

you mean abwatscheln?

I took that one as a synonym for abkanzeln

[pine ginkgo]

Abkanzeln 🤔

Sagt ihr das so?

[placid heath]

Ne

Abwürgen oder so

is abkanzeln nicht hochdeutsch?

[pine ginkgo]

Nie gehört

[placid heath]

hm ok

[pine ginkgo]

Vielleicht?

[placid heath]

du meinst es im sinne von kurzen prozess machen / loswerden, oder?

[pine ginkgo]

Eher loswerden

[fluid horizon]

I’d help flops but I don’t know how

[placid heath]

mm ok

[ocean robin]

I finished

[placid heath]

dann nicht abkanzeln

[ocean robin]

Can I post?

[placid heath]

bzw nicht ganz so

Ja Escargot.

[ocean robin]

😦

[whole rapids]

floops and henbri can post

since Sly is unsure

[fluid horizon]

I’m not unsure

I literally cant

[placid heath]

Immanuel tries to reason about the topic but Immanuel Kant

[fluid horizon]

Like I want to but I literally don’t know how

It would take me hours

[pine ginkgo]

Yeah, don't do it, sly

[fluid horizon]

But I wish I could :/

[pine ginkgo]

Then get to learning

[fluid horizon]

That’s like so far beyond me though

[pine ginkgo]

And you can do it in some months :)

[fluid horizon]

I don’t even have cases down

[ocean robin]

Ich würde meine Socken gehabt haben, ob der Laden nicht durchstöbert worden sein war. or can we say hätte gehabt?
I hope I didn't flop too much .-.

[pine ginkgo]

Lol

[shy bobcat]

Don't feel bad sly this is some nasty grammar for a beginner

[pine ginkgo]

Hahaha

[shy bobcat]

Pferd is a böser typ

[pine ginkgo]

Have fun teeeis

[ocean robin]

I mean, I didn't do past conditional yet

:(

[shy bobcat]

Piss off lunette im not fixing that 😅 😂

[fluid horizon]

I mean I guess Ari

[shy bobcat]

Where is pferd

[ocean robin]

Okay, I did flop

[shy bobcat]

@whole rapids help me fix floppus extremus

[ocean robin]

i feel bad

[placid heath]

Not too bad flops

[shy bobcat]

Its ok

😄

[ocean robin]

Not too bad? Really?

[pine ginkgo]

Oh good, korea, you do it

[placid heath]

sein war is the only grammar mistake I see

other than that, only word errors

[shy bobcat]

I mean I could do it but I'm lazy

[ocean robin]

DAMNIT

[placid heath]

Guys

I shouldn't correct it all by myself

[cold vessel]

How the hell do you translate "deal with"? austragen? 🤔

[placid heath]

I would f*** up too

sich mit jdm/etw beschäftigen

[fluid horizon]

Korea can I have an easier one

[shy bobcat]

Ok flops let's get to it

😄

[placid heath]

mm

what grammar concepts do you already know?

[pine ginkgo]

Sly can do: Präsens and Akkusativ

[fluid horizon]

None

What is Präsens

[placid heath]

Present

(tense)

[fluid horizon]

Oh ja

[placid heath]

Do you know all the cases?

[fluid horizon]

No

[ocean robin]

nah

[pine ginkgo]

No

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin "Can we say hätte gehabt" yes in fact that's preferred

[placid heath]

Only Akkusativ/Nominativ?

[pine ginkgo]

Yes

[ocean robin]

oki

[fluid horizon]

I know what the dative and genetive are but not how to use them

[placid heath]

mmh ok

[dire sentinel]

is there a...... translaterooni going on in here?

[shy bobcat]

There is

[dire sentinel]

I wanna play

[fluid horizon]

Kinda

[ocean robin]

Ich hätte meine Socken gehabt, ob der Laden nicht durchstöbert worden sein war.

[pine ginkgo]

You should go with sly to practice tho

[placid heath]

hm k

[pine ginkgo]

So you dont get flattened by flops

[fluid horizon]

I don’t like when mine is given away though

[pine ginkgo]

And you can explain stuffzirs

[cold vessel]

flappy, can you explain your auxilliary verbs?

[ocean robin]

🤔

All of them?

[shy bobcat]

I would have already had my socks if the store had not been ransacked I think was the English @dire sentinel

[cold vessel]

Yeah

[ocean robin]

The "worden sein war" part?

[shy bobcat]

That's the translationerooni

[ocean robin]

mmh

[cold vessel]

Yeah. For each one explain why you included it

[ocean robin]

Well I was like "had been ransacked" (I have no idea what ransacked means tbh, it closed due to not enough money or something?)

[dire sentinel]

Like, destroyed

[shy bobcat]

ransacked means like someone came through and looted the store

[dire sentinel]

Everything had been bought and destoryed

[shy bobcat]

In this context

[ocean robin]

whoa

rude

[dire sentinel]

like after Black Friday, Walmart is ransacked

[shy bobcat]

yeah

[ocean robin]

Well for been I used "worden sein"

[shy bobcat]

Why two words

[ocean robin]

and the war for "had" at the end because subordinate clause

why

because past perfect passive

[shy bobcat]

Look at how passives are formed

[ocean robin]

🤔

or

[shy bobcat]

its not "Worden sein war" I can guarantee

[ocean robin]

nah I flopsed

There's no sein iirc

just worden

[shy bobcat]

yeah that solves part of it

Now the next bit

[whole rapids]

flops have you already forgotten our passive lessons

[placid heath]

Er war gewesen worden sein gebimst vong grammatik her. 😏

[whole rapids]

you disappoint me and the sky

[shy bobcat]

That's a plusquamperfekt "had" and we need a subjunctive "had"

[cold vessel]

Pferd, make her fall through a trapdoor or something so she has to redo the whole thing

[ocean robin]

I am sorry Pferd, I actually remember them but I confused it with something else x.x

[whole rapids]

clearly she needs a review

[pine ginkgo]

Yo henbri if you have this one correct, you go b

[whole rapids]

henbri give your attempt

[cold vessel]

Ich hätte schon meine Socken gehabt, wenn das Geschäft nicht durchgesucht worden war

[pine ginkgo]

Durchsuchen is not a separable verb

[ocean robin]

inb4 lol no henbri

[cold vessel]

fuck 😦

[pine ginkgo]

So no b for you

[shy bobcat]

@placid heath he had beemst have been been ing terms ov grammar

Perfect

[placid heath]

Veryly goodly.

[whole rapids]

I don't think durchsuchen is the right word for ransack anyway

[cold vessel]

But dict.cc and conjugator lists it as both, Solet

[pine ginkgo]

Not in your context

[ocean robin]

Yeah, we saw that once with Mika

durchsucht / durchgesucht

[cold vessel]

What's the difference in meaning?

[ocean robin]

idk why tho

[viscid cape]

You can do it, my pupil.

[shy bobcat]

Anyway can flop please fix the "war" 😄

[pine ginkgo]

You can use durchsuchen as a separable prefix, but you will never use it, i can guarantee it

[ocean robin]

Fix the war? 🤔

[cold vessel]

What does it mean when separable though?

[shy bobcat]

we need a different tense for the conjugated sein here

[ocean robin]

maybe I forgot the conjugation of sein

oh

[shy bobcat]

namely konj ii

[cold vessel]

I think it's the second time I make this mistake actually 🤔

[ocean robin]

gdhshsgf

[pine ginkgo]

It's... not that easy to explain outside of german

[ocean robin]

wäre?

[cold vessel]

Wait, why do you need Konjunktiv in that clause?

[ocean robin]

^

[pine ginkgo]

Cause it has to do with the difference between durchsuchen and suchen durch

[cold vessel]

That's something that already happened

[ocean robin]

the heck

[viscid cape]

It's easy to mistake them, since durch is a preposition... it's weird that it's not separable

[shy bobcat]

Wait am I memeing

[pine ginkgo]

And it's not easy to explain in english

Since both pretty much mean the same thing

In english

[ocean robin]

The shop would have been ransacked

🤔

[cold vessel]

Actually in Norwegian the equivalent "gjennomsøke" and "søke gjennom" are different as well 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

Oh?

[whole rapids]

no the shop had been ransacked

[pine ginkgo]

Could be the same difference

[ocean robin]

yes

Ari wants to put wäre

idk why

[pine ginkgo]

Listen to ari

[ocean robin]

🤔

why tho

[shy bobcat]

[…] wenn der Laden nicht geplündert worden wäre is that a meme?

[pine ginkgo]

No

[whole rapids]

what?

[cold vessel]

Why do you need Konjunktiv for something that for sure happened?

[whole rapids]

I didn't put Konj II in the second clause

[shy bobcat]

because the whole sentence is conditional

[ocean robin]

Geplündert okay new favorite word.

[pine ginkgo]

It doesnt matter

The whole sentence

[whole rapids]

rly

[pine ginkgo]

FUCK TEEEIS

[viscid cape]

What do you mean by it for sure happened?

[whole rapids]

news to me

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo 😦

what did I do

[ocean robin]

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND

[whole rapids]

you stole the explanation

[pine ginkgo]

Steal my sentence

[shy bobcat]

The whole sentence is a conditional, since he's speaking about "what could have been" if you will

[cold vessel]

Weird 🤔

[shy bobcat]

IDK lol I suck at explaining

[ocean robin]

I am actually very confused

[pine ginkgo]

If you have conditional and wenn

The wenn sentence is about 99% konjunktiv

Not always

But in this context yes

[whole rapids]

is that true for "falls" too?

[pine ginkgo]

Yes

I died

[whole rapids]

oh, I would have got my own sentence wrong then

[pine ginkgo]

Falls ich nicht gestorben wäre, würde ich jetzt essen

[whole rapids]

makes sense now you explain it

[ocean robin]

til 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

Dont forget, in this case, you talk about a hypothetical situation

[whole rapids]

yeah, I just didn't think it would pass over to the part that explains the reality

[pine ginkgo]

The shop had been ransacked

But you talk about what if NOT

[cold vessel]

Oh, that makes sense

[ocean robin]

Ich hätte meine Socken gehabt, ob der Laden nicht durchstöbert worden wäre. mistake fixed

[pine ginkgo]

Dont use ob

Flop, we told you

Never use ob as a learner

[cold vessel]

ob is like whether iirc

[shy bobcat]

@pine ginkgo wenn durchsucht / durchgesucht so schwierig zu erklären ist auf Englisch dann bitte erklärs mal auf Deutsch 😄

[ocean robin]

:<

but it's whether

[shy bobcat]

No it's not

[cold vessel]

You can't use "whether" here

[ocean robin]

wat

🤔

[whole rapids]

do you know what whether is for?

[shy bobcat]

[…] whether the store had not been ransacked doesn't work

[pine ginkgo]

Siehst du einen Unterschied zwischen etwas durchsuchen und durch etwas suchen, teeeis?

[shy bobcat]

Ja natürlich

[ocean robin]

I saw the use of whether like, yesterday

I was putting it randomly before because I didn't know what the difference was, but teacher just said that using whether in hypothetical sentences was more correct

The heck did my phone do.

[cold vessel]

`Pferd is busy and tries to not have to deal with sly

Pferd ist beschäftigt und versucht, sich mit sly nicht beschäftigen zu müssen`

inb4 demoted to A0

[pine ginkgo]

Its good

[shy bobcat]

@ocean robin well your teacher explained badly or you misunderstood

[ocean robin]

:<

[shy bobcat]

😦

[ocean robin]

then I have no idea

Because when I looked up for the translation, in French it would be also if

[shy bobcat]

rip

[ocean robin]

Since we don't do the difference :<

[shy bobcat]

I know for a fact henbri has a Norwegian free pass

[cold vessel]

Not really

[shy bobcat]

om and hvis iirc (maybe that's Danish spelling)

[cold vessel]

It's not the same, Ari

[shy bobcat]

😦

[cold vessel]

Maybe it is in Danish, idk

[ocean robin]

That's one of the things I don't know yet in English, and also the fokken use of except/besides/apart from

[whole rapids]

your teacher is wrong and you should tell them so

[fluid horizon]

sorry

[shy bobcat]

[whole rapids]

whether is relatively simple

[ocean robin]

When you have a choice?

[whole rapids]

you have two alternatives

yeah

[quasi merlin]

"Yo teach, your explanation's shit"

[ocean robin]

🤔

[whole rapids]

you have doubt

[ocean robin]

wow mika

[whole rapids]

"I don't know whether I should eat the cake or not"

[ocean robin]

^ that's how I was using whether

[whole rapids]

you have doubt on which choice to make

[cold vessel]

@shy bobcat "hvis" and "om" are completely interchangeable in most conditionals except one where you have to use "om"

[whole rapids]

when?

in your class?

[ocean robin]

Since always.

Not only in class, when I talk here too.

[whole rapids]

yeah, I don't remember you using it wrongly

Ari would have been triggered by now

if you did

[ocean robin]

I just want to know where my flaws are in English though

[shy bobcat]

I would have mentioned if you were consistently messing something up

Like just a one time thing I get it, my German derps sometime

But you know

I'm helpful 😄

[ocean robin]

:o
