#

or at least I wasn’t under the impression they were

#

uvular fricatives are pretty common

#

and they pretty readily become trills

midnight coral
#

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

There are quite a few languages that have it, apparently.

The voiced uvular trill is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨ʀ⟩, a small capital letter R. This consonant is one of several collectively called guttural R.

radiant matrix
#

that’s literally the list I just referred to as being euro-biased

midnight coral
#

Well, if you say so.

radiant matrix
#

generally, linguistic information is very eurocentric

#

there’s tons and tons of super detailed descriptions of every minor european language

#

but african langs with millions of speakers where you won’t find anything but a rudimentary wordlist

#

any sort of frequency lists like this must be taken with a tablespoon of salt

#

always

#

considering uvular sounds are comparatively rare in Europe compared to the rest of the world, the fact that almost all uvular trills appear to be in europe makes no sense

#

from a pure probability standpoint

spiral stratus
#

i wpuld be suprised to see another language family where it's that relatively common

@spiral stratus I didn't notice that you had tagged me. I think that that is amazing and a lot of people don't have the need to learn the complicated Computer Science behind just the simple Programming. Of course one is paid based on his knowledge and that is how it should be honestly. A lot of these same principles (that one learns in school) can be learned practically from a seasoned developer too. I think that we need not discriminate based on just school.

radiant matrix
#

it’s just htat the uvular fricative and trill aren’t often distinguished since they are very similar, and people prefer classifying sounds as fricative over trill :P

spiral stratus
#

maybe as a product of production. it's biased to the one language, but i haven't heard many germans with a really strong clearly trilled uvular r. to me it on average sounds a lot more "mushy" compared to the couple really strong ones i've heard

radiant matrix
#

yea in German it definitely tends towards fricative

midnight coral
#

It's even an approximant for some speakers.

#

wie benutze ich das Wort "anlässlich"

#

können sie bitte mir ein Beispiel dazu geben

#

nur Muttersprachler

#

denen vertraue ich

runic garden
#

Ich bin kein Muttersprachler aber heute morgen hatte ich ein gutes Beispiel dafür gesehen

#

Falls du es willst?

hot cloak
#

ok zeig mir es

runic garden
#

Der Großvater hatte 90. Geburtstag. Dazu kam die ganze Familie zusammen. ->
Anlässlich Großvaters 90. Geburtstags kam die ganze Familie zusammen.

hot cloak
#

also es ist so was wie "aufgrund"

runic garden
#

Hmmm ich glaube nicht. Es bezieht sich eher auf ein einmaliges Ereignis bzw. einen einmaligen Anlass

#

Also soviel ich weiß, benutzt man dieses word nur bei Anlässe, die einmal oder wenigem stattfindet

#

Auf english wurde es etwas wie „in the occasion of“ übersetzt

hot cloak
#

anlässlich (Präposition; mit Genitiv; geschriebene Sprache) - verwendet, um auszudrücken, dass etwas der Grund für etwas ist:

"Anlässlich seines Jubiläums gab es eine große Feier."
"Ich habe ihm anlässlich seiner Pensionierung gratuliert."
"Sein Ursprung geht auf die Feiern anlässlich der Hochzeit des Kronprinzen Ludwig I. im Jahr 1810 zurück."

#

_ _
Naja es muss irgendwelchen (besonderen) Anlass (occasion; event etc) dafür geben

runic garden
#

wenn ich nun mal darüber nachdenke, ist anlässlich mit aufgrund austauschbar, aber nicht umgekehrt?

fossil nova
#

and don't call me a genius lol, i got lucky on the paper too

if you think he's a genius just because of that you should wait until you hear his German

fossil nova
#

ah ok, i heard this year's paper was hard

@fossil nova oh i am also studying for bio olimpiads

rigid basin

sounds bad, i hope they choose me for the national team

#

its hard to being top 4 biology student in turkey

hot cloak
#

Why arent you top 1

rigid basin
#

i aint even at top 4

#

i am just trying to be

hot cloak
#

What top are you at

rigid basin
#

its unknown for now

hot cloak
#

There was a guy at my school who was a fucking legend in every contest of every subject they had

#

He was 2nd in the national math contest

#

1 in the national physics contest

#

1st in the chemistry national contest

#

1st the regional technical drawing contest

#

Fuck, he was a fucking beast

#

I really admired him

#

He was also a beast in chess

rigid basin
#

math and science contests and olympiads are completely different things

#

you can't attend to different olympiads at the same time

hot cloak
#

Teachers said the only contest he hadnt won yet was the Latin one because he hadnt signed up for it

#

@rigid basin he did

#

And always won

rigid basin
#

its not a olympiad then > @rigid basin he did
@hot cloak

hot cloak
#

I mean I dont know how things are in Turkey

#

@rigid basin they were olympiads

rigid basin
#

its not about turkey

hot cloak
#

Dude, you can do that in Spain

rigid basin
#

they can't be

#

dude you can attend to different kind od science competitions

hot cloak
#

He signed up for literally everything that was science-related

#

And always won

#

Dude, maybe things are different in Turkey

rigid basin
#

i need to study at least 7 hours for bio olympiads in my study days

#

olympiads are international

#

there are also national ones

hot cloak
#

You also have national olympiads

#

Thats where you choose who will go to the national ones

rigid basin
#

yeap

#

but olympiads take time

#

they take your youth

hot cloak
#

Yeah I used to be the kind of guy who had good grades but never signed up for anything

rigid basin
#

you can't be a Chemie, Mathe und Bio olympiader at the same time

hot cloak
#

That dude was

#

Not bio though

#

Here in Spain you choose between bio and technical drawing

#

The latter is more mathematical

#

So he chose that one

#

So did I

rigid basin
#

i trained for math olympiads for two years

#

then i left, because i found myself in bio

#

and math was more competitive

hot cloak
#

Here in Spain you can sign up for the math olympiad from ages 15-17

#

So you can technically go to three

rigid basin
#

there were kids who were getting trainings since 6 years

hot cloak
#

I remember they said the guy who got the first place was 15

rigid basin
#

and i was at the 9th grade > there were kids who were getting trainings since 6 years
@rigid basin

hot cloak
#

Thats why they are so good at what they do

#

I never signed up for it because I thought I had nothing to do there

rigid basin
#

yeap they are trained for it

hot cloak
#

I was good at math, I understood things quite intuitively, but the olympiads are something else

rigid basin
#

you probably need to start math olympiads at 3th grade

#

if you keep studying the same thing for 10 years

#

you will be eventually succeeded

Do Germans say Guten nach Abend sorta like Guten Nachmittag?

#

or do they just say Gute Nacht?

Gute Nacht - Good Night
Guten Abend - Good Afternoon

You can say Guten Nachmittag

Right after noon tbh

#

vergleich mal den Anteil von Leuten die Chinesisch in der Welt sprechen und den von Leuten die Chinesisch in Singapur sprechen
~11% in der Welt gegen ~35% in Singapur (Englisch ist ~37%). Das heißt, circa ein Drittel. Nicht mal 50%, daher mMn nicht genug, um automatisch anzunehmen, dass jemand aus Singapur Chinesisch spricht

calm lily

@hot cloak Vielen Dank

als "Sache der Wahrscheinlichkeit" soll man dann eher annehmen, dass man Englisch spricht

since they already speak great English and there is no need for them to learn a new language

I am gettin on the vocab grind as well

I can learn only ab 100 per day with the amt of time i am able to study for

#

but i think i will study vocab and then just practice forming sentences as my other practice

opal sequoia
#

That seems like a good idea.

#

And don't worry about learning a ton of vocab every day. You will learn some naturally by practicing a lot, especially reading, chatting with people, watching videos, etc.

@torn abyss would you mind not doing that please

#

im super late but imo anki for vocab is Ideal

#

Like I can do 50 new words a day with it and I have them memorized after a week (I've toned it down bc it helps my retention a bit)

#

still, 30 a day isn't too bad

hot cloak
#

I used to do 100 words per day on Anki

#

But I understand there are people who can't do that

pallid kelp
#

i get bored after, like, six

#

luckily that's far from the only way to memorise vocab

craggy marsh
#

I do around 30-40 per day

#

And again, it's only words that I put there

#

So it's pretty easy and effective

hot cloak
#

@pallid kelp I used to do it when I was around B1

#

I dont use Anki anymore

#

because as you said, it becomes boring once you become more advanced

pallid kelp
#

the only language i've used it for was japanese and it's the one for which my vocab is worse

hot cloak
#

😮

#

Do you like Asian languages too

pallid kelp
#

and it's the one for which my vocab is worse
among the ones i actively learn i mean

#

yes

hot cloak
#

I dont, I only like European languages

pallid kelp
#

oh and except for mandarin too but that's just because i'm just starting out with it

#

i don't feel comfortable not knowing japanese and chinese ^^"

#

korean or cantonese might come next but that's far enough in the future that i don't care

hot cloak
#

I never had interest in Asian languages, I always felt that European languages were closer to my culture, specially the Romance languages

#

For example, Portuguese speakers are like our brothers and that makes me excited to learn their language

zealous girder
#

Portuguese speakers from Portugal won't understand Portuguese speakers from Brasil ?

pallid kelp
#

sorry but, no shit they're closer to your culture 👀

#

europeans who learn asian languages generally do so to get closer to cultures they know are far from theirs

hot cloak
#

I'd say Brazilians have more trouble understanding Portuguese people than the other way around

#

I didnt phrase that correctly, what I meant is that the fact that their culture is closer to mine is what makes it interesting for me @pallid kelp

zealous girder
#

it goes so far as to call it "trouble" ?

#

I don't know either of the two languages and don't know how apart they are

what do you mean by "the two languages"

zealous girder
#

Portugal's Portuguese and Brasil's Portuguese

hot cloak
#

they are the same language

zealous girder
#

so how do you have trouble understanding each other

#

there must be differences that might lead to a misunderstanding

hot cloak
#

there are differences in grammar, ortography and pronunciation

#

Brazilians tend to speak with their mouths more open

#

whereas Portuguese people tend to keep all the vowels really closed

zealous girder
#

there are differences in grammar, ortography and pronunciation
that almost goes far enough to be called an other language imo

hot cloak
#

its not that different, I study Brazilian Portuguese and I can understand people from Portugal

pallid kelp
#

oh sure. Well I already have the level of Spanish I care about (= i can understand it reasonably well when written and okayish when spoken) and I'm not too far from my objective in French (= can understand it well when written but it's tiresome; i want to become much better at listening comprehension and bring my active abilities up to snuff) so my priorities are elsewhere at the moment

#

wow i'm a slow typer

hot cloak
#

😟

#

I've been told I type very fast

pallid kelp
#

it was a statement about me not you

hot cloak
#

Yes but I was making one about me

zealous girder
#

see, French has communities of speakers all across the world (North America, Africa in general, and several countries in Europe), yet I do believe the language is about the same everywhere

pallid kelp
#

it most certainly isn't

zealous girder
#

no grammar difference, nor orthography; eventually the accent and slangs

pallid kelp
#

quebecois is crazy compared to french french

zealous girder
#

that's about slangs more than anything else

pallid kelp
#

you call it slang but it's just vocab. It's an important difference no matter the name you give it

hot cloak
#

that usually happens with languages that are not pluricentric

zealous girder
#

i call it slang because it is slang, they definitely know the "French French" name of the things

hot cloak
#

😮

#

I dont know about that

#

French is not one of the languages that are under my belt

pallid kelp
#

some regional languages of italy have the exact same grammar as italian and yet they're impossible to decipher from italian

hot cloak
#

Is there a way to say "Thank God + subordinate clause" but without saying God?

#

like, thank God I dont have to work tomorrow

zealous girder
#

unless you plan to go live in Quebec, I don't see a valid reason to learn quebecois, even if it's pretty interesting tbf

hot cloak
#

yeah, me too

#

I'd say learning small languages is not useful

#

Like, why do people learn Catalan

zealous girder
#

and... I think you'd do fine learning "metropolitan French" whether it is for Quebec or France or whatever French speaking country

hot cloak
#

just learn Spanish, duh

zealous girder
#

it helps keeping the culture alive

opal sequoia
#

You can thank anything.

hot cloak
#

can you provide me with an example of that

#

@opal sequoia

opal sequoia
#

Thank fuck. That's a good one. Unless you are opposed to swearing.

hot cloak
#

Yes, I am opposed to that

#

I am an atheist so I avoid the use of the word God but I also avoid swearing

opal sequoia
#

You can just make something up or rephrase it.

hot cloak
#

yes but I mean isnt there a synonym for it but without the word God?

opal sequoia
#

The same kind of things:
"It's a good thing that..."
"Thankfully.../Luckily..."

hot cloak
#

For example, in Spanish you can say "thank God" but there's also another way to say it

#

and that's the one I use

#

but in English I only know Thank God

#

thankfully

#

thats it

#

thanks

opal sequoia
#

If you literally want to use "Thank X" then you need something or someone to thank. This naturally is most suitable if there is something someone worships or considers a controller of fate. Thank the stars, thank the universe, etc.

#

Np.

pallid kelp
#

you can say thank goodness

#

it's a good, common and idiomatic alternative without the religious bit

sour oasis
#

thank goodness

#

thank anything like base said ye

When English uses a word from French, it usually pronounces it according to English sound rules. German will often sound more close to the original.

An example for this is Restaurant. Like in French, the last syllable will sound roughly like "raw". The -t will be silent. Some people will pronounce the ending similar to English "rung" instead. Of course, the R- will sound like the German r, not the English one.

Spanish is one of the most spoken languages and the most useless

#

I mean there are no jobs in spanish speaking countries

torpid moth
#

but there are jobs in US and other places in Spanish communities where you would make yourself v useful to speak it

tulip otter
#

Those spanish communities should just speak english honestly

#

They do live in a English speaking country

#

And the job requirements that require to learn that language I hear their gonna make illegal

#

It's like Germany would you like it if u had to learn Arabic

#

@hot cloak hey would you mind changing your pfp please

pallid kelp
#

I mean there are no jobs in spanish speaking countries
depends. If you want to be a drug dealer it's probably the best language you could pick

hot cloak
#

haha yes because Spanish is only spoken in Mexico and Colombia, nowhere else outside Latin America 😎

#

@tulip otter bruh have you ever been to hmmm Spain¿

craggy marsh
#

Spanish will always sound weird to me

hot cloak

weird in what sense

#

I mean, if you don't speak it, obviously

tulip otter

Yeah Spain is a poverty ridden country

#

What's your point

#

@hot cloak

hot cloak

yeah bro, as poor as Africa

Und so im Raum ausgezeichnet

#

#

oder eher so "gerade so ausgezeichnet"?

#

Gerade so denke ich. Es ist schon nach 2 Uhr morgens und ich stehe nur wenn ich will auf, also ist alles ausgezeichnet

sage kayak
#

I see o:

#

Well, that's nice to hear

#

I mean the ausgezeichnet part!

runic garden
#

@sage kayak ehrlich zu sein, habe ich „gerade so“ nich völlig verstanden, was bedeutet es in diesem Fall?

cyan abyss
#

Hello

sage kayak
#

like 'closely' ausgezeichnet

#

'ganz knapp'

runic garden
#

Ahhh

sage kayak
#

oder 'easily' ausgezeichnet

runic garden
#

I understood it as like only now as in only in this moment excellent

#

Then i thought maybe its that gerade that means especially

sage kayak
#

like "gerade", I see :p

runic garden
#

Like gerade er sollte das wissen

sage kayak
#

Ja, stimmt

runic garden
#

Theres a few meanings for gerade in german haha

da heißt es das o:

@hot cloak

tell me

#

I wanted to ask you

#

what languages do you speak

#

nur aus reiner Neugier

#

wenn ich fragen darf

#

@sage kayak

sage kayak
#

Well, sure

#

I speak German natively, English fluently

#

I'm technically a Turkish native but not good in Turkish at all

hot cloak
#

why

sage kayak
#

and I've learnt some Japanese

hot cloak
#

didnt your parents teach you

sage kayak
#

Because I haven't learned it very well

#

yeah, a mix of that and me not wanting to learn it

hot cloak
#

but its the language of your ancestors

sage kayak
#

Well, I don't really care about my ancestors

hot cloak
#

why

sage kayak
#

would be cool to know Turkish however

#

why should I?

hot cloak
#

they are part of who you are

sage kayak
#

are they?

#

I mean, genetically, yeah

#

but I don't know them at all

hot cloak
#

yes, I for example I am a Spaniard

#

but my parents are from Ecuador

sage kayak
#

I wouldn't even notice if I were to see pictures of them

hot cloak
#

and I can't ignore my roots trace back to Latin America

sage kayak
#

It

#

It's a pity imo that I haven't used the easy opportunity of learning an additional language

#

but other than that I don't really care

hot cloak
#

😔

#

Hm

sudden narwhal

@sage kayak i get what you mean completely. im half japanese and was taught japanese, lived in japan, but never became fully fluent and dont really care that much anymore because i dont have that strong a connection to my ancestors anyway and have also given up a bit

#

Eh, how so Carrots? D:

#

Sure, go ahead, Blue!

fringe tartan
#

So I get you're not

#

But like you're answering multiole questions in a row

#

Which makes t look weird, cuz I don't know what questions you're answering

sage kayak
#

I gave an answer to anne

#

With my last paragraph

runic garden
#

My family pretty much has no history of immigration and both sides of my family are english monolingual

#

I asked mum if shed like to learn a language and she said no english is all i need

fringe tartan
#

Yeah, I get that

#

But it looks weird cuz I didn't see those questions at first

sage kayak
#

hmmm o:

#

Oh, I see

fringe tartan
#

My family is pretty much purely Swedish afaik

sage kayak
#

And mine purely Turkish

fringe tartan
#

A little mix of swedish speaking finn in there

#

And I think a hint of German mercenary

runic garden
#

Yeah doesnt mean too much, a log of families are something like that, just thought i could add something to a conversation 😄

fringe tartan
#

That's what my mother has found at least

runic garden
#

Mercenary yeet

sage kayak
#

Yeah, sure :P

runic garden
#

My family were convicts

sage kayak
#

I don't like

#

people

#

so why should I talk to them

#

jk

fringe tartan
#

Yeah, during war times I think some German mercenary were hired and settled down

sage kayak
#

I would like to learn some other languages as well

fringe tartan
#

Oh, and it's great that ou're adding to the convo 👀

sage kayak
#

So that's how you got to learning German?

#

@ Blue

runic garden
#

Kinda

#

I was in europe for a holiday and felt pretty useless with my one language

sage kayak
#

xD

#

Nice edit

runic garden
#

So thought its time to make the effort and learn one

sage kayak
#

I see c:

runic garden
#

Yeeet i need to rethink my answers often XD

zealous girder
#

German is neat and that's enough reason for me to learn it

sage kayak
#

And you did great on that!
I mean the learning one

runic garden
#

I saw Kühlschrank and thought thats the language i want to learn

sage kayak
#

xD

#

Cause you like the sound of Kühlschrank?

runic garden
#

Because it was cold + cabinet/cupboard and i thought that was great and descriptive

sage kayak
#

I see WonnyXD

runic garden
#

I cant spot the origins of refrigerator as easily as Kühlschrank

sage kayak
#

Understandable

zealous girder
#

But isn't the verb "to refrigerate" obvious enough ? :o

runic garden
#

Yeah that ones obvious

zealous girder
#

So that makes the word refrigerator easy to understand 🤔

runic garden
#

I mean the aspects of the word its self, like i can see re-fridge-erator as the components of the word

sage kayak
#

What about 'Nashorn' and 'rhino(ceros)'

runic garden
#

Beautiful german word

sage kayak
#

I guess you don't have a word like 'to rhinocerate' or something, Alexis :p

zealous girder
#

Rhino comes from the ancient Greek rhinos which means nose

sage kayak
#

Don't tell me that's an obvious connection! :p

runic garden
#

Please i am a pleb mono english speaker i cant do fancy old languages but Nase + Horn is very clear

fringe tartan
#

All English speakers learn greek ofc

runic garden
#

And Faultiere i love these bois

zealous girder
#

I didn't study Greek either so your point isn't valuable 👀

sage kayak
#

I have something very weird to that Faultier thing I wanna add

fringe tartan
#

What's squid in German?

runic garden
#

Uhh ink fish

fringe tartan
#

We'd call them "ink fish" in Swedish

#

I see

runic garden
#

Tintenfisch

#

Its an octopus too i think

fringe tartan
#

Tinten = ink? I see

sage kayak
#

it's in #archived-media

runic garden
#

And cuttlefish

zealous girder
#

Squid fish isn't Qualle?

fringe tartan
#

What's cuttlefish?

sage kayak
#

Kugelfisch

fringe tartan
#

Well, that I should google I guess

sage kayak
#

wait

#

I'm wrong apparently

runic garden
#

Theres a photo in media

#

Of a cuttlefish

sage kayak
zealous girder
#

In any case, I got to study the etymology of tons of words that originate from Latin and Greek. Doing that makes understanding nowadays languages easier

sage kayak
#

Yeah, that's no Kugelfisch

zealous girder
#

I just happen to know various words containing rhino and they're all linked to the nose in general

fringe tartan
#

Kugelfisch = blowfish

runic garden
#

Bullet fish

#

Im confused

sage kayak
#

Yeah, I thought it's a different animal

fringe tartan
#

They make themselves a "bullet"(ball)

#

Kugelschreiber isnt reeally bullet writer

#

A small ball is a kugel, no?

runic garden
#

Yeah it is

#

A small sphere

fringe tartan
#

Like metal, glass or wooden

sage kayak
#

however, German likes to take new German words by compunding old (not meaning ancient) German words together

fringe tartan
#

Kugel, kula, close enough mmlol

sage kayak
#

I like that with Japanese script, too

#

they seem to go some very different choices

fringe tartan
#

Yeah, an Swedes take their words from old low German and add their own touch to it

sage kayak
#

volcano is basically fire mountain

fringe tartan
#

Makes sense

zealous girder
#

Japanese is a lot of logic

#

Learn the kanji and you can make up the word by yourself

sage kayak
#

Oh, interesting that they take old German, Carrors o:

#

Sometimes it works

zealous girder
#

The readings can just be problematic

fringe tartan
#

Man, if you only knew how much you've influences us

#

Holy shit

sage kayak
#

Definitely good for a mnemonic

#

But I don't think it works that well, Alexis :p

zealous girder
#

How far are you into learning Japanese ?

fringe tartan
#

So many verbs with er-, be-, an- etc etc without it making any sense

sage kayak
#

Not for me at least. But I use it for mnemonics

#

I was studying vocab for half a year

fringe tartan
#

Hope you're doing well with Japanese

sage kayak
#
  • kanji
#

It's on hold currently

zealous girder
#

#

#

That's why I said

#

good mnemonics

zealous girder
#

音楽 is sound + pleasure and that makes music

sage kayak
#

cause it's often not totally random

#

but there other ways you could go

fringe tartan
#

What's moaning then? mmlol

sage kayak
#

and other things it could mean where you would also say 'oh, makes sense'

#

xD

zealous girder
#

Don't know

sage kayak
#

うめく (呻く)

#

If I'm guessing the right suggestion of my dictionary

#

No example sentences for that

zealous girder
#

Jissho says 呻吟

#

Though that's a noun and not a verb

#

I found うめく too

sage kayak
#

Is that even a verb- yeah :p

fringe tartan
#

What words is it made up from?

sage kayak
#

Maybe 呻吟する blobupsidedown

fringe tartan
#

🤔

sage kayak
#

する = suru = to make

fringe tartan
#

Are Japanese books shorter on average?

zealous girder
#

呻 seems to be the kanji itself for groan / moan

sage kayak
#

lots of stuff verbs you can make out of noun + suru

zealous girder
#

吟 is apparently linked to singing

fringe tartan
#

Well, I should go. It's 2 AM

#

Nice seeing that you're active on discord again Bulli

zealous girder
#

I'm not sure they would use 呻吟する when having 呻く already

#

#

See you and good night!

zealous girder
#

More people should get into studying etymology

sage kayak
#

It's not really rare to have more than one word for the same thing

#

also with suru and without suru

zealous girder
#

呻吟する hasn't shown up in jissho, so it is probably not used

#

I could be wrong

#

And I probably am wrong

#

But that's my pov

sage kayak
#

Naww, if it doesn't show up, I guess it's not a thing

zealous girder
#

See I thought I could be wrong and after doing more researches it seems to be referred to as a suru verb

@gleaming scroll Soda = Limonade = Limo = Brause. It’s just a synonym

#

But Limo is also the short form of Limousine : )

#

@hot cloak die Limonade ist ja "einheimlicher" oder?

hot cloak
#

Wdym?

gleaming scroll
#

Also die Soda hört sich mir ganz amerikanisch an

#

Die Limonade hört sich mir deutscher an

hot cloak
#

Ahh jetzt verstehe ich

gleaming scroll
#

Ja ich wundere mich über die Nutzung

hot cloak
#

In Deutschland sagen die wenigsten Soda. Meistens ist es die Limonade, da hast du Recht

#

Allerdings ist Soda das gleiche, deutsche Wort

#

Es ist nur nicht so eingebürgert

gleaming scroll
#

Verstehe, ich versuche auf weniger "englische Freunde" zu abhängen

#

Ich finde oft, dass die richtige Nutzung fehlt, obwohl mein Wortschatz ziemlich groß ist

hot cloak
#

Das kenne ich 🙂

#

Genauso geht es mir im englischen

#

Meine Freundin aus München hat mir einmal gesagt, "Alles, das auf Englisch leicht zu sagen ist, auf Deutsch sehr kompliziert zu sagen ist"

#

Und vice versa

hot cloak
#

Ganz Unrecht hat sie nicht

#

Aber auf Deutsch sind Informationen konkreter ausgedrückt

#

Meiner Meinung nach.

gleaming scroll
#

Ich stimme dir zu, Deutsch ist effektiver als Englisch

#

Mindestens dafür

can you help me with something @glacial pier

#

?

#

there's something I don't understand in a song

"Auch wenn uns dieser Blitz nie trifft, verschwinde ich im Nichts"

glacial pier
#

Genius.com sagt, dass es sich um eine One Piece Anspielung handelt

#

Bei der Hook bzw. dem Part mit dem Regen, Gewitter und Blitz könnte es sich um eine Anspielung auf Dragon in Loguetown handeln , welcher Ruffy vor Smoker rettet.
Dragon besitzt laut den gängigsten Theorien nämlich die Gewitter Frucht, wobei eben diese Szene ausschlaggebend für die Theorie ist, da Dragon eben mit dem Gewitter auftaucht und dann im Nichts verschwindet.

#

aber was bedeutet im Nichts verschwinden

glacial pier
#

to vanish/disappear into nothingness

hot cloak
#

ohh ok

glacial pier
#

"Nachdem er mich gestern abgeschleppt hat, ist er heute Morgen im Nichts verschwunden. Ohne eine Nummer oder so dazulassen. Was ein Arschloch."

hot cloak
#

😔

#

does abschleppen mean what I think it means

glacial pier
#

quasi unmöglich aufzufinden

#

to pick sb. up

hot cloak
#

ohh

#

yes I just looked it up

glacial pier
#

zB wenn du in ner Bar ein Mädel triffst, und sie mit nach Hause nimmst

#

dann hast du sie abgeschleppt

hot cloak
#

oh nice

glacial pier
#

Eigentlich bedeutet abschleppen "to tow [a car]"

#

"na, hast du gestern wieder eine abgeschleppt?"

It says to write the correct forms in dativ

#

sigh

#

@wind sky Take the example. You are suposed to write the correct posseive form in dative based on the gender of the noun

#

it is your friend and fruendin is a female noun

#

Deiner Fruendin
