@keen snow i get ce/celui now, but now im confused about cela/ceci D:

[keen snow]

It's that and this

[hot cloak]

so when youre pinting to sth and you dont use a noun?

[keen snow]

Ceci is the contraction of ce + ici and means “this,” while cela is the contraction of ce + là and means “that.” That said, in reality two things tend to happen: Ceci is replaced bycela unless the distinction between “this” and “that” is important

[hot cloak]

OMFG

IM MINDBLOWN

[fresh bridge]

How did any of ya'll learn German? I need some strategies cause I'm struggling

[proper shale]

@fresh bridge you can still learn the language tho. There's plenty of resources on the Internet there's plenty of movies and books and sites in German. If you're passionate and hardworking you can do anything just remember.

[fresh bridge]

thank you

it just sucks because I have taken 4 high school German classes and I try to study in my free time but nothing seems to work

The American educations system is a joke and we suck at other languages

[proper shale]

Ye I understand where you're coming from. You might just not learn well in a classroom environment.

[fresh bridge]

just because english is the world's international language, people here think that we should just assume that everyone can understand us already so why bother with another language

[proper shale]

2nd language classes in England are a joke too but that doesn't stop people. If there's a will there's a way.

[fresh bridge]

yeah but y'all are a lot closer to europe

I'm a $1000 plane ticket away

[proper shale]

Other countries are kind of forced to learn English because a huge amount of media is in English because of Hollywood and because if America in general

Stop finding excuses my frend and just tackle any obstacles that get in your way. The Internet makes it way easier for anyone to do anything. Want to speak with natives to practice? Bam the Internet is your friend, just come onto this server and have a chat in ##german-only or in Nurdeutsch VC . Want to know about grammar? Bam the Internet is your friend, ask Google and often there's a million articles bc other people have had that problem before. If you don't find anything come here and ask in #questions. Want to practice reading? You can buy German books off the Internet or for kindle. Want to practice listening? Load up a German radio station they often broadcast over the Internet and anyone from any country can just tune in. Any problems you have just tackle them. There's a huge amount you could do to improve your German by yourself so just do it

[fresh bridge]

okay

thank you

I appreciate that

[stuck crane]

[hot cloak]

@fresh bridge i would invest in a good german textbook, from my experience, all books I’ve used so far were super good, german really lnow how to make them 👌 goethe institute for example uses Ideen (for kids and teenagers), Studio D (used to use), Studio 21, Aspekte Neu (for lvl B) or Menschen. There’s also some pirated book in #resources

[hot cloak]

@sudden panther what’s actually the command for sum?

[sudden panther]

Think. What could it be. Boy I wonder.

[hot cloak]

But do you use {} too?

[proper shale]

[sudden panther]

They want to be called Czechia, but they're the only ones that like that name.

[mellow mist]

Oh lol

[hot cloak]

No, i call it like that cuz its short

[sour mesa]

what the frik

[crystal delta]

I get confused with names!

so I just call them neighbours 👌

[hot cloak]

Most czechs dont even know that the word czechia exists kek

[sour mesa]

What the frik did catto do

Can I assume that log is base10?

Or is it - wolfram style - a natural log 👀

[mellow mist]

[proper shale]

nola why is your name like that O.o

[crystal delta]

[sour mesa]

Just look of the meaning of aficionado

[sudden panther]

[mellow mist]

Did you just assume that whatever thingy's gender?

[crystal delta]

if I want a natural log, I'd say ln

[sour mesa]

Okay gut

[viral thunder]

Suzu🌸 has brought their A game.

[crystal delta]

fukk other things :^)

[sour mesa]

Oh an inverse sum

Is that possible?

[hot cloak]

What did i fok up since the last time...

[sudden panther]

You started leaving out {}s.

[hot cloak]

Oh

[sour mesa]

Wait, you can make inverse sums

🤔

[hot cloak]

I totally forgot about them

[crystal delta]

curlies are your friends!

[sudden panther]

For any command the rule is as follows: "if there's a { after it, it takes everything up to the next matching }, otherwise it'll just take the very first letter after it and only that."
So \sqrt{2} is the same as \sqrt 2, but \sqrt 23 is actually \sqrt{2}3 and just looks dumb.

[sudden panther]

Now try using \to.

[sour mesa]

Arrem

You just said people should figure things out on their own

[viral thunder]

Too complex? Have you considered reading it upside-down Suzu🌸?

[sour mesa]

And now you just tell her that it's \to 😰

[viral thunder]

Boy SweetLittleMUV am I glad I don't suck as much as you.

[crystal delta]

[sudden panther]

\to is a tiny lil detail.

@hot cloak @sudden panther does the brown water irritate your skin?

Do you use it for morning hygiene too?

[sudden panther]

No. You get used to it after a while.

I honestly prefer bottled water to brush my teeth just because of the taste.

[hot cloak]

yes i do

well i usually dont wash my face

but like my mom uses boiled water

What are the cons of it then?

cons?

Like, negative effects

well idk what you mean

there are lots of them

Yes, your nick looks very Russian

[proper shale]

his name is chinoos

[sudden panther]

Yes it is isla.

[mellow mist]

Is there an easy way to differentiate them from an I've-got-no-idea point of view?

[sudden panther]

Differentiate wot now? 🤔

[mellow mist]

Like how do I know it's Chinese or Japanese without googling it

[sudden panther]

Oh. Idk ask the Chinese lass. @proper shale

[ocean robin]

japanese

[cold vessel]

You just learn Chinese and Japanese, eyes

[mellow mist]

Oh okay, that's super simple

[pine ginkgo]

japanese is more curvy strokes, chinese is just more strokes and more elaborate and korean is round

[proper shale]

chinese looks all like this　風命値町翻

[sudden panther]

That's no different from the 目焦 in your name, ree.

[keen snow]

Kawaii desu

[proper shale]

japanese looks like this 風は命から値ね町ぼうのあわジカネウあ翻。

[ocean robin]

That's called kanjis

[pine ginkgo]

japanese and chinese do share a common set of kanj/signs tho

so sometimes you can't distinguish them

[proper shale]

rule of thumb: if its just kanji pictures its chinese
if its got some other letter looking things in it its japanese.

[sudden panther]

I bet Japan just ripped China off.

[proper shale]

kinda

[keen snow]

Yeah, Kanji came from China.

Well, they copied it.

[proper shale]

japan traded with china and took the kanji and paired it up with japanese sounds

[keen snow]

Just evolved till they were different.

[sudden panther]

As a Chinese person, you should be very mad about that isla. Send an angry letter to Japan.

Tell them to get their own letters.

[quasi merlin]

Learn the Japanese alphabets, then you can tell Japanese and not-Japanese apart.

[proper shale]

thats why when you learn kanji theres an 音読み and a 訓読み

[pine ginkgo]

look at mikuh being smart 👀

[proper shale]

one comes from the japanese and one comes from the chinese

[pine ginkgo]

that's what turning 20 makes you

[proper shale]

but the chinese part doesnt sound like chinese anymore because they diverged

[quasi merlin]

God, 音読み and 訓読み, so much stuff to remember :<

[proper shale]

mika you get used to it with practice

[ocean robin]

that is scary

[proper shale]

its like a beginner using cases in german

[ocean robin]

[proper shale]

flappy im only on page 2 of your work sheet

[keen snow]

Not even native speakers know all the kanji.

So dont worry.

[ocean robin]

:0

out of how many

[mellow mist]

They don't? wut

[pine ginkgo]

there are too many eyes

[keen snow]

Yeah.

[mellow mist]

Well yea, I don't know all the words in my native either, but isn't that a really important thing in the end?

[quasi merlin]

No they don't, there are "tons" of kanji

[hot cloak]

I think an average jp knows like 3000?

[pine ginkgo]

not really eyes

[hot cloak]

Not sure

But it’s impossible to learn every kanji

[pine ginkgo]

a lot of words can be combined in their meaning

well that's how they work anyway

[quasi merlin]

Btw. who thought 午 and 牛 looking similar is a good idea 😛

[ocean robin]

omg

[pine ginkgo]

so you you can figure out a new word you don't know by going from their base meaning

[quasi merlin]

(I can tell them apart, but still)

Isn’t that ministroke above super clear mika?!

[haughty raft]

Ok, thanks

[red pewter]

@whole rapids learned a lot. thanks. i think it looks pretty good. your examples were good.

[whole rapids]

cool, thanks. Anything confusing or whatever?

also dunno why there's big gaps between certain sentences, I definitely removed that

[red pewter]

no i think it was pretty clear this time

[whole rapids]

okay, nice

btw, do you see these gaps as well?

[keen snow]

Guys

[pine ginkgo]

no

[keen snow]

wtf

[pine ginkgo]

just for safety, ana

[minor plank]

Ich habe eine Frage :
Wo man sieht sich mit Untertitel deutschen Filme an?

[deft summit]

Netflix

Wakanim

[minor plank]

Ich brauche eine Website, die kostenlos ist.

Ich mag keinen Anime.

[deft summit]

Kostenlos ist doof

[minor plank]

Aber ich habe kein Geld 😦

[hot cloak]

kinox.to

without subtitles though

[minor plank]

Aww I want subtitles 😦

[olive valley]

Dann bleiben dir nur die Öffentlich-Rechtlichen:
Das Erste: http://mediathek.daserste.de/ (z.B. dieser Teil einer Doku mit Untertiteln http://mediathek.daserste.de/Der-Blaue-Planet/Der-Blaue-Planet-5-Unterwasserdschung/Video?bcastId=49529922&documentId=50962784 )
ZDF: https://www.zdf.de/ (da gibt es immer wieder einiges mit Untertiteln, z.B. dieser Film hier; aber keine Ahnung, ob der in irgendeiner Weise gut ist https://www.zdf.de/filme/bella-block/bella-block---am-abgrund-100.html )

Kostenlos etwas mit Untertiteln zu finden, ist ansonsten eher schwierig

Aber Dokus sind ja eigentlich immer ein guter Kompromiss :p

[minor plank]

Ayye, danke schön

[minor plank]

nice.

😦

[whole rapids]

just use German IP then

[pastel wharf]

There's a calming song
Found in notes held long
Where birds do sing
Of sorrow

But sorry be not
For a note to be caught
Brings a wave of peace
from tomorrow

Bright days are ahead
So let it be said
That the world is not
Stacked against you

Sing songs so soft
And hold light aloft
So that beauty may
Once again find you

[olive valley]

Hm, ok, aber nicht alle Inhalte sind geogeblockt, oder? @minor plank

[minor plank]

Ja.

[proper shale]

@glad python it looks like you match up the numbers to the pictures and for the second part it looks like you rearrange the letters to make the words.

[whole rapids]

they're just anagrams yeh

@whole rapids When do you want the agent in the passive tense in english? I was practising on this site but it said Choose if you need the agent or not

[whole rapids]

when you want to emphasise the object

"The dog was eaten by the man." for example

you don't need to do that in many languages, but word order is very strict in English so you need to use the passive voice instead

I don't know what the site specifically wants though

[sour mesa]

https://www.perfect-english-grammar.com/passive-exercise-5.html

Here this was the site

I couldn't see why the first one would be without an agent and the second one with one

[whole rapids]

oh, this site wants you to select the agent when it's obvious who it is

[sour mesa]

Ah now I see

[whole rapids]

e.g. "The Government is planning a new road near my house"

you don't need to specify the government because it's kinda obvious

who else can plan a new road?

[sour mesa]

no one

[whole rapids]

you would need the agent if it was a bit surprising, like "A new road near my house is being planned by the horse"

[sour mesa]

And for the second one it isn't obvious that it was the grandfather?

[whole rapids]

well, anyone can build a house and it's surprising that it was the grandfather, since one might expect builders to normally build houses

so it's not automatically obvious

[sour mesa]

Somebody happens to have already watched Tomb Raider?

I suddenly am Lara Croft fan (no pun intended 😏 )

[quasi merlin]

I don't see a pun.

[fair iron]

^

There is no pun.

[pallid kelp]

The pun is a lie

[keen snow]

There is no pun in English, unsure if there is one in your native language.

[thick charm]

There are no puns in English in general

very unfunny language

[keen snow]

Leave

https://i.imgur.com/mh22Hl1.png thonk

Is that the girl that didn't want to go see a movie with you?

[sour mesa]

Now that's the name they are teasing me with

No Arrem no

That was a guy named Jael who asked Roos

[sudden panther]

Ross*

[pine ginkgo]

*Joey

[sour mesa]

Arrem

Just search for teasing under my name

I called her this one girl

[keen snow]

That's not a pun

[sour mesa]

Oh

It has to be 'official'?

[keen snow]

It generally has words everyone knows

[torn kindle]

it would be an insider

[keen snow]

Not a random inside joke

[sour mesa]

Oh I see

[keen snow]

So I can say a pun to anyone speaking engkish and they get it

[sudden panther]

One result. Never mentioned the name.

[keen snow]

[viral vale]

The graveyard is the most popular place in town

Everyone's just dying to get in.

i'm not sure that's strictly a pun

just a play on words

what are those jokes called where you describe something in same way it's happening

like "I like my toast without butter," John said dryly.

John sat at a white table and drank a glass of milk . "This is boring" John said.

[whole rapids]

probably anti-joke

[opal sequoia]

The first is a pun and I guess the second is possibly an antijoke. I don't know of a special name for them.

[whole rapids]

I think anti-joke is the special name

seems to be going by Wikipedia

[opal sequoia]

Okay, I see. I misinterpreted the description Sturm gave then.

But antijokes usually have a stronger build up.

[whole rapids]

yeah

his joke thing feels more deadpan

[opal sequoia]

Hmm.

Probably better done as stand-up. 🤔

[viral vale]

it's not an antijoke

it's pretty old

[opal sequoia]

Why can't antijokes be old?

[viral vale]

it's a Tom Swifty

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Swifty

this one is good ""That doesn't add up," said Tom nonplussed."

""That's the last time I'll stick my arm into a lion's mouth," the lion-tamer said off-handedly."

[opal sequoia]

Okay but your second example isn't a pun.

[viral vale]

""They had to amputate them both at the ankles," said Tom defeatedly."

[opal sequoia]

Which is the one we said might be an antijoke.

[viral vale]

toast without butter is dry

[whole rapids]

that's pretty subtle humour lol

[opal sequoia]

No, the one after that.

The boring one.

[viral vale]

yeah, that's more of a "sign from Frank"

where an author has a character meta-comment on their writing, usually not done consciously

like if you're watching a movie and the character come up with some crazy plan and they say "This would only work in a movie!"

[opal sequoia]

What's that?

[viral vale]

bad authors/movie writers do it all the time

i think it's funny

[opal sequoia]

Oh I see.

[viral vale]

i think Tom Swifty's are weirdly funny though

"Hurry up and get to the back of the ship!" Tom said sternly.

"You ever seen one this big?" Tom bragged cockily.

[opal sequoia]

I guess they're good if you're the kind of person who's into bad puns. 👀

[viral vale]

i am

usuaully you see them organically if someone says something like "I'm cold" and then someone else says "she says icily"

"My therapist told me I suffer from multiple personality disorder," said Tom, being frank.

[whole rapids]

That one is good.

Thanks for bringing these to my attention

I will have to spam them in my own writing now.

[pine ginkgo]

oh no

[keen snow]

Oh god.

[topaz venture]

oh gott

was geht ab?

[sly tendon]

I'm a bit unclear on my past participate vs simple past. What's is the difference between er spielte Golf and er Golf gespielt that in the first, the action is ongoing and in the second the action is completed?

[shy anchor]

look at in in english: I ate the bread vs. I have eaten the bread

[whole rapids]

there is no difference in German

it's not the same as English

[stuck crane]

Oh

[shy anchor]

yeah i was just trying to give an example of the verb change

[mellow mist]

Isn’t the German difference basically written/spoken

[shy anchor]

but those things in english have different aspects too

[whole rapids]

sorry, wasn't meaning to contradict you bro-neptune

[shy anchor]

oh no your answer was clearer than mine

[whole rapids]

not even then, eyes

Present Perfect is heavily preferred in spoken but it's still used a lot in written

[shy anchor]

in written its more efficient i believe

the simple past i mean

[stuck crane]

Present perfect=habe+pp?

[whole rapids]

yeah, exactly

[shy anchor]

yes

[whole rapids]

haben/sein + pp

[stuck crane]

ök

[sly tendon]

So no diff, except one sounds more literary and refined?

[whole rapids]

depends on the verb, but you can think of it like that

some verbs are very commonly used in Simple Past like haben and sein and some are practically used in Simple Past, like the modal verbs, but, in general, you can't go wrong with using the Present Perfect

this is in regard to spoken

[delicate light]

So quick question

In the practice channel I see mostly non native speakers (ofc they are the ones who need to practice)

1. are natives to disengage from conversation there
2. are we supposed to correct ppl om their mistakes or just let conversation happen?

[topaz venture]

im pretty sure you should do what you feel like

when you join ask if the people want to be corrected

and just go with the flow

(that's how I'd want to be treated)

[delicate light]

ok nice

[whole rapids]

generally, most people appreciate being corrected and being given tips. It's also generally helpful to avoid giving people straight translations if you can. They gotta struggle a bit.

[opal sequoia]

It depends whether you mean the text channel or the voice channel. They are pretty different.

[rancid robin]

yeah text def correct. in voice only correct if you dont understand what theyre saying

[halcyon estuary]

I’m assuming @quasi merlin (only mod currently online) is not active at the moment.. well, otherwise – hi Mika :-), I’m interested in a “Native German” role.

[quasi merlin]

@halcyon estuary Sure, can you write something in German real quick?

[halcyon estuary]

Klar, wie viel? Grüße aus SH ;-)
(..kann sonst auch sprechen)

[quasi merlin]

Sieht nach Native aus

[halcyon estuary]

okay, gut xD

[jagged flicker]

What would it be like if the German language had it's own modified Cyrillic alphbet instead of Latin?

[hot cloak]

god

wymsymorys

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wymysorys_language

[halcyon estuary]

Well, if you like the idea of a German language without using the Latin alphabet Latin font, you can take a look at Fraktur.

[jagged flicker]

Fraktur is interesting

[halcyon estuary]

We have a super-duper-old Latin to German dictionary in our house somewhere and I’m having trouble reading the German translations because they use a Fraktur font, while all the Latin words are in a totally "modern" looking Latin font.

(random example page – hm.. image not quite that crisp)

[lost dagger]

I want to hear a Herbert Grönemeyer song remixed with Gordon Ramsay

[delicate light]

There's no genitiv in your dictionary, @halcyon estuary !

[lost dagger]

maybe it's listed as genetiv

[viscid cape]

@halcyon estuary Tolles Wörterbuch

[whole rapids]

@outer niche if you want to know why words have gender and certain plurals, then you probably need to read books about linguistics. Unless you mean you want patterns for recognising those things?

@gusty linden Hallo!
Wie geht's ? c:
Wie geht es der Mathematik?

[gusty linden]

Hallo @patent lake die Matheklausur hab ich bestanden, danke :D Sonst auch alles bestens, ich habe letzte Woche Besuch aus Panama bekommen und wir waren das Wochenende in Berlin. Und wie geht's dir so?

[patent lake]

@gusty linden I barely understood that.

But seem to be good news, Congrats.

@gusty linden Es geht mir... ein bisshen gut.
Vielleicht bin Ich Krank, Ich bin nicht sicher...

[gusty linden]

@patent lake I just told you that I passed the math exam and a dude from Panama visited me last week and we spent the weekend in Berlin 😄

Thanks!

Was fehlt dir denn?

[patent lake]

@gusty linden Sounds like fun!

Ich bin schwach.

[gusty linden]

😦

Vielleicht wird es besser, wenn du ein paar Fruchtzwerge isst

[delicate light]

D:

[patent lake]

@gusty linden Was bedeutet "Fruchtzwerge" ?

[gusty linden]

Das ist ein Joghurt, meine Mutter hat früher immer zu mir gesagt ich soll Fruchtzwerge essen, "damit ich groß und stark werde" 😄

[halcyon estuary]

https://www.google.de/search?q=fruchtzwerge&source=lnms&tbm=isch

The typical kind of product that is kind-of advertised as being “healthy” except it’s mainly made out of sugar.

[patent lake]

Aber, Zucker ist auch notwendig c:

[halcyon estuary]

stimmt

[patent lake]

Ich meine... Es sind viele Leute hier, dass keine Zucker haben <_<

[halcyon estuary]

die keinen Zucker haben

[patent lake]

Almost.

[halcyon estuary]

…but are there?

[main frigate]

Apparently my friend isn’t giving his child any sugar so they had a mashed potato birthday cake

[halcyon estuary]

[patent lake]

@halcyon estuary Ja.

@halcyon estuary Ich komme aus Venezuela.

[halcyon estuary]

Okay, gut, mag sein ^_^

[patent lake]

[gusty linden]

Wuäs!

Hungern die Leute in Venezuela, @patent lake ?

Oder gibt es da einen Zuckerengpass?

[patent lake]

Trinkt Hafer

[gusty linden]

Wie kann man denn Hafer trinken 😮

[patent lake]

@gusty linden Alles-engpass.

laughs in spanish

My German is soooooo bad

@gusty linden You know what I meant.

[gusty linden]

@patent lake Ich habe wirklich noch nie Hafer getrunken in meinem Leben

Ich kenne das nur als Getreide/Müsli

Und Brei, das hab ich auch schon gesehen

[halcyon estuary]

Es gibt doch auch Hafermilch oder sowas..

oder Haferdrink, korrekt bezeichnet (,weil man in Deutschland nur auf Produkte wo Milch drin ist auch „Milch“ draufschreiben darf)

[main frigate]

Ich habe heute morgen Haferbrei zum Frühstück gegessen

[halcyon estuary]

aber keine Ahnung ob @patent lake sowas meinte

[patent lake]

Ich mag auch Müsli.... ist teuer...

[gusty linden]

Was für Spitzfindigkeiten mit dem Haferdrink ey

[halcyon estuary]

vielleicht kann man Breiessen auch als Trinken auffassen

[gusty linden]

Hm ja, kann natürlich sein

[main frigate]

Na wenn du viel Wasser oder Milch da reingießt, kannst du alles trinken

[gusty linden]

Ich glaube mein Mitbewohner hatte mal so Hafermilch im Kühlschrank stehen 😄

[patent lake]

Hisp_german.exe ha dejado de funcionar

[gusty linden]

Ich würde eigentlich gerne ein bisschen mehr Plattdeutsch lernen, fällt mir gerade ein

Finde das klingt so lustig

[halcyon estuary]

legit reasons xD

[gusty linden]

Naja, der langweilige Grund wäre halt, dass ich Hamburger bin xD

[halcyon estuary]

Und ich komm aus Kiel :D
…werde mich wohl trotzdem in absehbarer Zeit nicht mit Plattdeutsch auseinandersetzen :/

[gusty linden]

Naja nu, ist ja auch kein Zwang 😛

[halcyon estuary]

[errant oar]

How would I find out what level my german is?

[opal sequoia]

The only way to really know is to take an official test.

But there are some online tests which you can find pinned in #general or in the #resources list.

If you want an estimate.

Or just ask someone on this server and it's usually pretty easy to tell what level someone is.

[errant oar]
