Ich bin im April in Deutschland?

That's wrong?

[hot cloak]

[minor cliff]

Yeah ik

I'm saying it's bullshit that the correct one is flipped like that lmao

"I'm in April in Germany"

Just a wee bit weird yknow

[hot cloak]

well, it's mostly about im =/= in here

[desert pecan]

TMP?

[minor cliff]

Tmp?

[hot cloak]

You could say Ich bin in Deutschland im April

[desert pecan]

ah yeah wasn't sure

[hot cloak]

Or Im April bin ich in Deutschland

[minor cliff]

So those are 3 different ways of saying it then?

[hot cloak]

Ye

[desert pecan]

I think the algo would allow that as an answer

[minor cliff]

[hot cloak]

bc you just reheat pasta or w/e smh

[regal lantern]

wtf no

[hot cloak]

:^)

[regal lantern]

hmm is it worth flying straight to ddorf or?

[hot cloak]

from?

[regal lantern]

eh, gla/edi/ncl

[hot cloak]

prolly ddorf or cologne if you wanna experience the joy that is travelling with a DB train

[rich hatch]

whats up with shitting on db trains
are they really that bad?

[hot cloak]

yes

[regal lantern]

hm

it's the cheapest

[hot cloak]

for every delay they have, I get an email if it affects my connection

[regal lantern]

but i do have to get from class to edinburgh airport in 25 minutes

[hot cloak]

tihs was for last month

oh wew callum

[rich hatch]

lol
question: what happened on 4th September? O_o

[hot cloak]

two of my trains got delayed

bear in mind, this is the "initial estimated delay" which means that number gets upped to 40min or so

[regal lantern]

is DB cheap at least?

[hot cloak]

depends on your connection

but I can find an cheap one for you

a

fok db tbh

[regal lantern]

like say a return ticket from colonge to ddorf :^)

[hot cloak]

fairly cheap if you book in advance

[regal lantern]

or say, city of brussels to ddorf.. that'd be like 35-40eur?

[hot cloak]

just come on Saturday or Sunday and tell Nemo to pick you up, he can travel within NRW with up until 2 people on weekends

for free

iirc

yeah same for me

[regal lantern]

hmm :^)

[hot cloak]

probably for me too then 🤔

[rich hatch]

[regal lantern]

So what you're saying is foxxo, you'd come on a train date with me? 😄

[hot cloak]

Koreans always look so fabulous uwu

[fossil nova]

Kinda sad though when some peeps are whitewashed

[hot cloak]

Or more like korean celebrities lol

[fossil nova]

Like have you seen felix from stray kids without makeup etc

Oof

[hot cloak]

Yeah thats true :<

Who

[fossil nova]

Group Stray Kids

[hot cloak]

Idk that group 👀

[fossil nova]

A guy in there called Felix has slightly darker skin and really nice freckles etc but he's kinda whitewashed for some reason by his company

[hot cloak]

Oh yeah that happens often :<

Or like Kai from exo is nicely tanned but others sometimes make fun of him :<

[fossil nova]

Ye

://

[hot cloak]

I feel like girl groups experience even more pressure tho

[hot cloak]

My fave girl group is blackpink

Lisa is a goddess

[nocturne frost]

@opal sequoia I've started hammers but idk if its a wise idea to go through the whole thing since its... big...

ig what I'm asking for here is would you do it to brush up foundations or skip parts you already know

[opal sequoia]

I wouldn't read through hammers at all.

[nocturne frost]

ho really?

[opal sequoia]

If you want a grammar book to read through, read the modern grammar one instead.

Like maybe the first half. The second half is kinda like whatever.

[nocturne frost]

is it in resources?

[opal sequoia]

Yeah.

[whole rapids]

Hammer is a reference guide

[opal sequoia]

Hammer's is way too detailed and specific.

[nocturne frost]

sorry, I thought lots of people backed it 👀

[opal sequoia]

Yes, Hammer's is extremely awesome.

[nocturne frost]

rofl yeah I've been making notes for hours

[opal sequoia]

For reference.

[whole rapids]

Hammer is the best but don't read all of it lol

Although I have...

[opal sequoia]

It's like learning vocab by going through the dictionary and learning each word one by one.

Like sure it gets you there.

[nocturne frost]

PFERD LOL I WANT TO AS WELL

[fossil nova]

hi everone

<3

[nocturne frost]

hey sweet potato

[whole rapids]

You will learn all the things

And all the exceptions

[opal sequoia]

If you want to read it, at least wait until like B2 or something tho.

[nocturne frost]

yeah holy fuck are there a lot of exception listing

[opal sequoia]

Because then it's actually useful.

[nocturne frost]

as a handbook?

[whole rapids]

Once your German is good enough, upgrade to Duden and read all of that

[nocturne frost]

:')

I hope you dont mea nthe dictionary

[opal sequoia]

If you want to read through it all, wait until B2 or later, is what I meant.

[whole rapids]

Nah the grammar reference tome

[opal sequoia]

Cause otherwise the info will just be wasted on you.

[nocturne frost]

heyo suzu

[hot cloak]

duden has like 12 thicc books afaik?

heyo heckie

[whole rapids]

I bought it along with another :')

[nocturne frost]

I hope you're well today sweetheart

oh pferd

[opal sequoia]

Like you wouldn't read a Calc 3 text book when you're taking an algebra class. Nothing would really stick anyway.

[nocturne frost]

you nerd

[whole rapids]

Yeah they have everything

[hot cloak]

:< not so well heckie but thank you

[opal sequoia]

But when you're a maths master you might feel like reading the whole calc text.

[whole rapids]

They even have a vocab guide with pictures

[nocturne frost]

I read the whole calc text anyway so your analogy is wastedo n me 👀

[opal sequoia]

You read it while first learning algebra??

[nocturne frost]

I'll guess I'll just use it for things I'm struggling on

Um noI just tend to read ll my maths textbooks 👀

before learning anything

[opal sequoia]

Right. When you're at the correct level for it.

What I meant was, the info is hard to absorb if you're still trying to take in all the basics.

But when you know most things, you pick up the finer details super fast.

[nocturne frost]

it still seemed valuable to me because I learnt about exceptions that otherwise I never came across, but I get your point

if you force it in without the foreknowledge, or even realizing yourself

next to useless

[opal sequoia]

When I first started learning the German grammar, I did actually read through Modern German Grammar and take a bunch of notes. It was super useful.

So if you like that, totally worth the time.

[whole rapids]

You are not going to remember all of it anyway, but it's good to learn what exists and where you will have to look to remind yourself

[opal sequoia]

Yeah.

[whole rapids]

Make sure to read the chapter about the passive voice thoroughly

[fossil nova]

^

I agree with both of you

Modern German grammar is a good Buch

[nocturne frost]

ofc I will pferd

@whole rapids ping for when I come back

[rustic skiff]

Hello guys

[hot cloak]

heyo

[rustic skiff]

Quick question : is there some sort of general rule (with a few expected exceptions) to help me automatically recognize or give me a clue of the gender of german words?

[hot cloak]

no

theres not

[rustic skiff]

:(

[hot cloak]

you could learn some gender groups by endings but well

it doesnt always work

[rustic skiff]

YES

That's what I'm talking about

[hot cloak]

ex all

[rustic skiff]

so let's say words ending with -ik (Politik) or -tion

[hot cloak]

ex gender patterns

[viral thunder]

Unfortunately, many German words don't have immediately clear clues that reveal it, but thankfully, many common words do follow patterns that reveal their gender.
Plural forms always use die and follow plural declension rules, which are the same for all genders (yay 🎉).
Type >explain grammatical gender for an explanation on grammatical gender.

Here's a list of patterns to recognise word gender.
Note that exceptions may apply.

💙 Masculine words (der):

• profession/role names (der Verkäufer, der Lehrer)
• many elements of time (der Tag, der Monat, der Winter)
• cardinal directions (der Norden, der Süden)
• rivers in non-DACH countries (der Nil, der Po)
• words ending in:
  -- -ig der König, der Teig
  -- -ling der Neuling, der Schwächling
  -- -ant der Praktikant, der Elefant
  -- -ismus der Faschismus, der Sozialismus

💚 Neuter words (das):

• nominalised verbs (das Leben, das Lesen)
• metals (das Gold, das Kupfer)
• babies and cubs (das Baby, das Lamm)
• diminutives in -chen/-lein (das Hundchen)
• words ending in:
  -- -ment das Experiment, das Sakrament
  -- -ma (usually of Greek origin) das Komma, das Thema

❤ Feminine words (die):

• rivers in DACH countries (die Ruhr, die Donau)
• many words ending in -e (die Nase, die Kiste)
• words ending in:
  -- -in (feminine professions/roles): die Verkäuferin, die Lehrerin
  -- -ei die Fischerei, die Bäckerei
  -- -schaft die Mannschaft, die Gemeinschaft
  -- -heit/-keit die Freiheit, die Gerechtigkeit
  -- -ung die Bedeutung, die Achtung
  -- -ion die Aktion, die Religion
  -- -ik die Logistik, die Logik
  -- -anz words of classical origin: die Allianz, die Toleranz
  -- -ur die Natur, die Kultur
  -- -tät die Professionalität, die Kriminalität

[hot cloak]

you cant go through the help thingy if you didnt invoke the command

Thank you :)

[keen snow]

Hm.

[hot cloak]

oxi best beef

[keen snow]

Learned something interesting today.

[hot cloak]

ye boi

[nocturne frost]

@whole rapids what word did you give me

[hot cloak]

all of them

[nocturne frost]

idk how to use most of these in english lmao

[hot cloak]

weird word to choose

@whole rapids did you mean Verschwörung by any chance?

[whole rapids]

@hot cloak no, I meant Beschwörung because Skyrim

@nocturne frost summoning is the translation I was thinking of

[nocturne frost]

@whole rapids Wir haben eine Beschwörung an Arrem durchgeführt, um seinen Memedämon zu verbannen

welp

I ALREADY DID IT AHAH

[whole rapids]

gud jub

[nocturne frost]

correct?

shoutout to @hot cloak

for the perfekt tip

[whole rapids]

I dunno about "an Arrem", otherwise okay?

[hot cloak]

ye thats fine

[nocturne frost]

mfw arrem wont even read and appreciate this 😔

[whole rapids]

@sudden panther

[keen snow]

Lol.

[hot cloak]

if you'd wanna be fancy, you'd use the actual verb that German has dedicated to performing an exorcism on someone :^)

Wir haben Arrem den Teufel ausgetrieben

[nocturne frost]

I would anyday 😩

[hot cloak]

bc, yknow that's quite common apparently

[whole rapids]

germans often use demon magic confirmed

[minor cliff]

Right bois

I'm going in

it took me like two minutes to translate the title xd

[rancid agate]

lol

did you read the thing on the back

[hot cloak]

is that a good way of learning

reading german books

[rancid agate]

if youre far enough to understand most of it and not having to look up every word, yes

[hot cloak]

if you start on like

pretty basic books

hmm

[minor cliff]

I just picked this one up because it's a German book I own physically

I just wanna dick around with different ways of learning

[rancid agate]

so, are you reading?

do you like it?

[minor cliff]

I'm gonna take it in small steps

Today I'll just focus on the blurb at the back

[rancid agate]

ok

[minor cliff]

It'll probably take me a good few months to get through it but I feel it will pay off if I work hard

[rancid agate]

after you went off yesterday i typed off the blurp at the back into discord btw

idk i was bored

[minor cliff]

I did see

[rancid agate]

ah

lol

[minor cliff]

I got through the front cover alright

Only a few words there so

[rancid agate]

gg

[minor cliff]

And I think I'm at a level where I can mostly guess how words I haven't seen before are pronounced

But what I'm doing is I guess how to say it then look it up to see how it's really said

[rancid agate]

thats good

took me pretty long to reach that point in english xd

[minor cliff]

Don't feel bad fam I'm a native English speaker and some shit still doesn't make sense to me

[keen snow]

Same.

[minor cliff]

Affect vs Effect, all the different sounds 'ough' makes

English is bullshit at the best of times man

[rancid agate]

ough is a lovely combination

[minor cliff]

Bet you had oodles of fun with ough words

[rancid agate]

one question tho

[minor cliff]

Sure

[rancid agate]

how would you pronounce ough if its standing on its own, without being part of any word

[minor cliff]

Hmm

That might differ person to person

[rancid agate]

yeah

but how do you do it

[minor cliff]

The sound 'off' comes to my mind first

Like in cough

[rancid agate]

for me it was the one in tough, which is similar enough i guess

[minor cliff]

Yeah

How did you find the ough endings when you learned them for the first time?

Was it just kinda wtf

[rancid agate]

iirc i didnt even notice the different pronunciations for some time

i just learned some words having the ending and their pronunciation, but didnt really think about it

by the time i noticed, i already had most ough words in my head

[minor cliff]

Huh

Neat

This prolly seems obvious to you but I've just discovered that the word for diary is a compound word

Tagebuch

Day book

[rancid agate]

lol

gg

[minor cliff]

danke

[rancid agate]

pretty sure the di- in diary comes from a latin root meaning day too

[minor cliff]

Huh

Didn't know that

But then again don't a lot of languages stem from Latin

[rancid agate]

alternatively, if you have a journal instead of a diary, thats just from french jour meaning day

(im not sure about that actually)

(but i like thinking of it as that)

[minor cliff]

Although I'm just thinking

Tagebuch is literally 'day book'

[rancid agate]

yes

a book you write in every day

[minor cliff]

But in my business class we learnt about these completely different things called Day Books

[rancid agate]

lol

[minor cliff]

So I'm just wondering what word y'all have for that

Or maybe it's the same who knows

[rancid agate]

whats that thing you mean tho

[minor cliff]

My memory is a bit fuzzy lemme go check

So basically it's a book where you put all the transactions a business or whatever made in that day

Which is later transferred to a different document

[rancid agate]

ah

i think i know what you mean

but i forgot the name of it in german xd

[minor cliff]

xd

Doubt either of us will need to know anyway

[rancid agate]

i just know that the job that does it is a Buchhalter and the action hes doing is Buch führen

so maybe its just called das Buch, without any compound

but probably not

[minor cliff]

Ah well

I mean if I'm ever in a position where I'm filling out those things in German my German will probably be good enough to just look up the word and be done with it

[rancid agate]

lol

[minor cliff]

BOIS

MY FRIEND IS TRYNA MATCHMAKE ME WITH A GRILL AND SHE LIKES ANIME BOIS

YEET

[rancid agate]

wat

[minor cliff]

'grill' can be a meme word for 'girl'

[rancid agate]

i know

[minor cliff]

Basically my friend has matchmade me with a weeb

And I like it

[rancid agate]

a ok

but does that mean

youre a weeb too

[minor cliff]

Yup

[rancid agate]

rip

[minor cliff]

the fuk u mean rip

u wanna take this outside bruv

[rich hatch]

outside
weeb

[rancid agate]

i know 2 people who i would clearly classify as a weeb irl

both are TERRIBLE

[hot cloak]

Weebs are not welcome outside

[rancid agate]

then again, if i think about it, one of them is more of a koreaboo but that doesnt change the fact that shes TERRIBLE

[minor cliff]

If you're thinking of actual weebs, the neckbeards who have 200 body pillows and Katanas n shit

And drink liquid Doritos exclusively

nah i ain't one of them i just rly enjoy anime xd

[rancid agate]

nah not that

one of them runs around with a naruto headband and a naruto sweater and wanted to start putting -chan at everyones name

also reads manga literally all the time

idk how she is when shes not at school tho

[whole rapids]

that's pretty odd

you should ask for the "-dono" honorific

[rancid agate]

although im pretty sure she confused chan with san

[sturdy shadow]

Weebs

Heck them

[hot cloak]

I would say "You shall call me senpai"

[rancid agate]

but i dont want it to sound like the other meaning of senpai

[hot cloak]

[rancid agate]

meanwhile, the other weeb stated that she is my senpai since she is older than me

[hot cloak]

Oh rip

[rancid agate]

which is also pretty weird

but wasnt it like, the one who works at a place longer is the senpai of the other? because in that case, im at that school for way longer than her

[minor cliff]

Ah

So basically weebs who don't know how to act normal in public

[rancid agate]

yes

i notice that

[minor cliff]

I don't know whether to weep for or fear them

[rancid agate]

e v e r y d a y

[minor cliff]

you are braver than any veteran

[rancid agate]

the first one also says that she writes tons of fan fictions and stuff at home

[minor cliff]

Oh Jesus

[sturdy shadow]

Im watching Goblin Slayer

[minor cliff]

I remember my fanfic phase

[sturdy shadow]

Uff

[minor cliff]

Dark, dark times

[hot cloak]

Good thing being a weeb is considered shameful in my country

[rancid agate]

with naruto characters

[minor cliff]

@hot cloak it's shameful in most countries to be a weeb LUL

[sturdy shadow]

K thought this would be a fun Comedy show

this isnt fun

[rancid agate]

its shameful everywhere except maybe in japan idk japan is weird

[hot cloak]

As far as I see a lot of people openly show their weebness

[sturdy shadow]

No it is especially shameful in japan

[rancid agate]

theres a third one actually who idk much about but she sometimes borrows mangas from one of the others

she also had blue hair once so i guess thats some indicator of weebness

[hot cloak]

Not necessarily

[sturdy shadow]

Quite often tho

[rancid agate]

but it could be

[rich hatch]

goblin slayer
Please stop and get some help.

[whole rapids]

it's not even normal in Japan

well, not abnormal either I guess

[proper shale]

In Japan anime is for like kids lel most teenagers and adults watch terebidorama n stuff 👀

[rancid agate]

lol

[sturdy shadow]

I cant @rich hatch

So much dick

[rich hatch]

rip erik
but really
don't

[sturdy shadow]

No

I dont have a suffering show this season yet

Also the girl applied with a 5e dnd character sheet in the manga

Gotta watch this

[rancid agate]

that one weeb girl also says that she believes in hundreds of gods and gives them weird names and all that weird stuff

idek anymore

[sturdy shadow]

WHY THE FUCK THUS GRILL SMILING

[minor cliff]

Yall here's something I just came across

I have diary of a wimpy kid in English and German

So whenever I come across a word or phrase in the German one I don't get

What if I just found it in the English one and compared the lines so I could get the meaning with context?

[whole rapids]

probs be fine

depends how liberal the translator was with their changes

[minor cliff]

That's true I guess

But I'd say I'd be able to figure it out anyway

[sudden panther]

I did that as a cute baby learner.

[nocturne frost]

Boo-dah-pesht

[proper shale]

But like

Live and let live okay jeez chill ur tits no need to get ur knickers in a twist

[rancid agate]

[ˈbudapeʃt]

[hot cloak]

Some Germans pronounce it with -s instead of -sch don't they?

[rancid agate]

most germans do

[hot cloak]

I know right

smK

[rancid agate]

only the ones that are intelligent enough dont

including my old teacher, who is from there

[hot cloak]

Anyways, did you like Budapest?

[stable lichen]

btw how did you became Level C @hot cloak ?
i mean why you got interested in german? and how you learned it? i am curious ,i thought russians were not interested in foreign languages

[hot cloak]

I've been learning German for 2 years

True story, most Russians aren't

[stable lichen]

oh, but did you study by your own? or you went to schools ? or both?

[hot cloak]

I started with a tutor

[stable lichen]

oh kk, alright i return to study , bis denn!

[hot cloak]

bis dann*

[stable lichen]

ah shit xd

ok bis dann!

[hot cloak]

or rather "bis bald" since "dann" represents particular time "until then"

[stable lichen]

oh

didn't know that

[hot cloak]

I mean "bis dann" is literally "until then"

[stable lichen]

yea i see, i guess probably it's used with a context

[opal sequoia]

Why not bis dann? @hot cloak

[hot cloak]

"bis dann" is used for time that was already mentioned during conversation, isn't it?

[raven hull]

I use it even for not specific time

Bis dann > bis bald
Imo, sounds friendlier idk

[hot cloak]

What about "bis später"

[raven hull]

That I'd understand that we're seeing each other again the same day

God English

[hot cloak]

Lol

[opal sequoia]

I think it's just that bis dann has two meanings. It can refer to a very specific time, but it's also used as one of the more general and non specific ones.

(Sorry for a late reply, my phone died)

[sudden panther]

Oh no. When's the funeral? 😦

[opal sequoia]

You're not invited anyway.

[sudden panther]

Wow.

My plan to get @hot cloak demoted didn't work as expected. Obviously the English plebs don't care about math as much as we do. 😔

[opal sequoia]

Dark theme is worse. It hurts my eyes. 😔

Anime

[fossil nova]

anime ist ganz cool

[mild cosmos]

The way my street is laid out amplifies noise upwards like inside a canyon

Someone walks their miserable little dog on this street fairly often, and it always seems to start barking like it's possessed.

[hot cloak]

Maybe it is

[mild cosmos]

I'm relatively certain that it is

[hot cloak]

Call an exorcist

[mild cosmos]

Or an exterminator

Dogs that small qualify as varmints

[hot cloak]

LOL

Exactly my thoughts

[turbid mason]

In german we call them Trethupen

[livid sluice]

Hey is it possible to DM with the bot

[sudden panther]

Sure is. It just won't reply.

[nocturne frost]

will 0x1 see it 👀

[hot cloak]

Oxi sees everything

[mild cosmos]

Trethupen 😂

I actually just feel bad for all those hideously malformed Zuchthunde

It's humanity's fault that they exist in the first place, and they're born into a life destined to have awful health problems

[radiant matrix]

In german we call them Trethupen
In some other german, we call them Bodenwischer

or any variation on that

[mild cosmos]

I've heard that one before; in English there's the similar term for any kind of shaggy dog: mop

Or the general: vacuum cleaner

[slate ridge]

@short sierra richtig! ich hasse anime

[mild cosmos]

Oh god

Why did I agree to this?

I'm at a birthday party

I was offered a shot of "Korn"

That was worse than vodka

I sorta feel like I'm gonna barf now, and I only drank one beer before the Korn

Wääääh the taste is lingering

[turbid mason]

for the fun stuff try wurzelschnaps...

[mild cosmos]

Nope

That shit is poison

The worst shot I ever had was Stroh

You look at the bottle and see 80. As an English speaker, I reckoned, yeah that's 80 proof

Stroh 80 is 80% alcohol

That time I did throw up

[regal lantern]

Hmm, I might have to try and pick up a bottle when I'm in Germany 🤔

[proper shale]

Borlein

[nocturne frost]

pretty lady in a pretty place

[dreamy mantle]

Ohhh 😮

[nocturne frost]

no wonder lads had their dicks out 😉

[ocean robin]

what the heck hecke

[dreamy mantle]

It’s not even wrong, flops

[nocturne frost]

oh did she not tell you 👀

[ocean robin]

what

she gots tons of bfs? when?

[nocturne frost]

ROFL

[dreamy mantle]

You don’t go to Berlin without seeing at least one hobo penis

[ocean robin]

🤔

but I went to Berlin and saw none

[whole rapids]

that means you have not been to Berlin

[ocean robin]

the first stranger penis I saw was because someone peed in front of me

[dreamy mantle]

Lucky you I guess

[ocean robin]

and it was in Quimper so eh

[whole rapids]

penises all look the same anyway

[nocturne frost]

rofl

[ocean robin]

Though I know that our flat was in front of a striptease so we COULD HAVE technically

[hot cloak]

Dicks out = bfs
lol flaps

[ocean robin]

wait not really

[nocturne frost]

I think traditionally its only the ladies that get naked 👀

[ocean robin]

yeah

[nocturne frost]

in strip clubs

[ocean robin]

all the bois wanted to go there smh

[nocturne frost]

smk

[proper shale]

A guy was wiggling his dick in the park
A old guy was sunbathing completely naked
Some random guy was doing some protest or something only had an elephant covering his peepee

[ocean robin]

what the fuck

is that situation

[wet garnet]

a normal one

[ocean robin]

no

[nocturne frost]

berlin

[ocean robin]

that's not normal

[hot cloak]

Sun bathing naked is relatively normal in germany tho

[nocturne frost]

in autumn in a stadtpark :')

[ocean robin]

If I saw that in Berlin I'd be traumatized for life

Oh that sure

[fossil nova]

Oof Isla

[ocean robin]

but in the city itself?, tf

It's not like here it's better tbh

[dreamy mantle]

When I was in berlin once a hobo masturbated in front of our hotel window

[ocean robin]

One guy in my hometown really freaked me out when I wa s13

iirc he's still here but

[opal sequoia]

You'd be traumatized by seeing a person naked, but you want to be a doctor?

[hot cloak]

LOL

[ocean robin]

noo that's not what I mean :')

[hot cloak]

good point

[ocean robin]

it's not normal to do that in a city

[proper shale]

Lmao

[ocean robin]

Oh I don't care, because I seen losta persons naked during job experiences, and it didn't bother me at all in this context

[hot cloak]

What jobs did you do lol

[wet garnet]

working the morgue

[ocean robin]

went to a hospital

[wet garnet]

😉

[dreamy mantle]

Floppy is experienced

[opal sequoia]

Okay, I understand. You're traumatized by out-of-context nudity.

[wet garnet]

plenty of naked bodies in the morgue

[hot cloak]

Hospital

[ocean robin]

I dunno the English name though of the persons I saw the work of

[opal sequoia]

What's the French name?

[ocean robin]

they weren't nurses, a bit lower than that

aide-soignante

[opal sequoia]

Ah, okay.

[ocean robin]

though I remember working with a psy and such

well "working" is too big a term though

[opal sequoia]

A psy?

A psych?

[hot cloak]

Psy of gangnam style obviously

[ocean robin]

It's not relally a psychologist, it's someone who helps you when you have problems about moving your body or such 🤔 she helps on mental stuff too though
