Anyone else in a similar position where you've spent years practicing a language just to learn you're only an A2?
Just realized that today
How did you practice?
That's common then.
I've met a lot of people who tried learning with just Duolingo and ended up in the same situation.
The Duolingo course is only officially A1 anyway.
They are still currently working on getting it to A2.
Interesting
Well, it taught me the absolute basics
I just need to figure out how to get past that
This server is really useful for that.
For some recommendations, start with #getting-started
faq beginner
The simplest way to learn German is to find topics you donât understand yet and search for explanations of them. This list provides you with a guide for which topics to learn if you are completely new to German. Type the topic into Google (or YouTube) and start learning!
1: Alphabet (especially Ă€, ĂŒ, ö and Ă)
2: Basic greetings (hello, goodbye, etc.)
1: Noun gender & plurals
2: Nominative case (What are cases?)
3: Nominative pronouns (I, you, he, she, etc.)
4: Verbs in present tense
5: Definite/indefinite articles
6: Accusative case (for nouns)
7: Accusative pronouns
8: Word order of simple sentences
9: How to ask questions
See Part 2 on the next page.
- Always learn the gender of a noun when you learn a new noun
- Learn to use a translation dictionary (e.g. dict.cc, leo.org)
- Use
>faq resourcesto see our list of German learning resources - For listening and pronunciation practice, try watching movies or videos (incl. YouTube)
- You can listen to pronunciation for words on websites like dict.cc, forvo.com, and others
- Practice writing sentences every day (and asking people to correct them)
- Ask as many questions as possible
- Donât be scared to make mistakes!!!! If you donât let yourself make mistakes, you will never be able to learn German
This is a good starting point (feel free to type it in #botchannel any time to see the lists).
You can find a more extensive list here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Kz1Xqx0sFXAWys-Mgfhjc-M8JDCMtoeeGXcg5-orP_A/edit
German Grammar - Order of Topics A basic list of what order to study grammar topics in, separated by level. This is not the only order you can study in. This is just a simple list people can use if theyâre unsure what to study next. I put an asterisk next to topics that arenât really essential ...
With levels.
thanks
I read that in the Engineer's voice (TF2).
Beautiful.
@analog current hey
Hey
get some roles
ok
english is more universal
most things are in english
its easier to understand
more people know english then german
German is easier than english for sure
Hi. I am looking for Learning-German speaking partner. If you are interested let me know.
@distant wyvern if you are a native speaker, you can get a role as Native speaker in #850404908946423828
correct
and i natively speak english
it makes far more sense than english
English is way more irregular so I prefer learning German
hi
So far, I might agree. I am very new but German words make sense. Some of the grammar is a little confusing or maybe it's words like zu that I am not quite understanding its place yet. I think these apps and stuff like Rosetta stone are cool but you have to supplement which I leanred the hard way with all my failed attempts to learn Spanish. But it's all good. here I am!
Yeah, there are gonna still be some things that don't make as much sense, like zu (at least for English speakers) but it's not as bad as English, I think. No matter what app you use, you're always gonna need more resources, even if it's just taking oart in conversations here. How are you finding Rosetta Stone? I've never particularly tried it
Agreed. Younger me thought I was all set after a few rounds of DuoLingo hahahaha...anyway. I do not think it's bad but I really dislike that these programms do not have further explanations. I like a good puzzle to solve but having to just notice words and their placement changing without an understanding as to why it is changing. Declinsions are new for me so we found this wonderful video online that made it make more sense and easier to digest. And.... some of the translations are possibly a LITTLE off but that's me wanting more explanation why / why not words appear in one place but not the other and the same idea is expressed.
So yeah... Rosetta stone is OK. Cannot say that the speaking piece is great. My husband has heard me mess up a word pretty bad and I will get 100% on my pronunciation. lol
I agree abt apps mostly.. And duo sucking. Busuu gives enough explanations to grasp the concepts imo so I always recommend/plug that. Youtube is definitely a good idea as long as you have a reliable enough channel, I recommend Deutsch fĂŒr euch. Some translations are the equivalent rather than word for word so that makes sense. Where are you getting translations from or is this rosetta stone specific? Also, there was a lesson a couple weeks back on declension and the slides are pinned in #lessons if you want to look at those
I've never trusted those pesky pronunciation exercises đ
Hahah, it's the Rosetta provided translations. I just typed a few out in Deepl's translator and although Rosetta wasn't wrong, I got to see zu's usage in the sentence with a second version of the idea being conveyed.
I feel you. I do use Google Translate but more to kind of check myself. Google Translate can be very uhhhh...loose? sometimes hahah
Yeah, it's a lil hit and miss til you go to an actual translator and work out how words are actually used
I pretty much only use deepl
I just learned about it today so I might be hopping on the DeepL train.
Ooh! Thank you. Verbformen? Nice
(It's a lot better than google anyways)
It says verb but it does nouns and shows diff stuff etc. It just doesn't show the word meaning or translation in English 
Google Trans is good if you already basically know what is being said or is trying to be conveyed lol
Cool!
True yeah.. I usually go to deepl bc I don't know a word or don't understand an entire text. I only go to Google translate if I want an image translating bc they do that
Word!
I guess the jokey videos where you translate idk a recipe 5 times then try to make it have.. Certainly increased my anti google translate bias
lol
I hear you.
Thank you for sharing some of those resources. Back to work for me! I'll be back. Take care though!
No worries, have a nice day!
I prefer google translate for word and sentence translations. Donât know what theyâve been feeding that algorithm but it works really well in my experience, particularly for slang

Hi!
How are you my friend? :)
I'm great what about you?:)
Wow talented
Being on a phone while crossing a road isnât safe
Same when crossing big driveways
Yeah sure
A good tip is to hold the phone up so itâs entirely straight and not at an angle
Most people hold it with the back of the phone to the floor which blocks peripheral vision

Hello, so my aunt lives in Germany and I live in a developing country. Naturally, the currency is different and so is the value. I'm wondering if âŹ60 for 3 books of Henle sheet music is considered expensive (normally) in Germany/Europe. Converted into my currency, it is just not a reasonable price for music books. Before asking her (since she usually buys gifts when she comes here), I want to make sure that âŹ60 is not a burden for Europeans? She lives okay I guess, not poor but not rich either.
How large are the books? Working out at âŹ20 is a reasonable price a decently sized novel

Heute habe ich in meinem Unterricht ĂŒber lokalen PrĂ€positionen gelernt. Ich denke, dass ich langsam lerne, aber ich lerne
. Auch habe ich Ich habe auch wie man tippt Ă tippt gelernt (Alt 225), weil mein Computer diese Taste nicht hat. Mein Semester hat bereits geendet, also ich kann mich entspannen. Heute war ein guter Tag.
@ionic kiln ich habe auch gelernt, wie man Ă tippt.
At "also ich kann mich entspannen", isn't it verb on 2nd position? With "also kann ich mich entspannen"? As the 1st position is "also"...
Yeah youâre right on that one đ
hello guys I'm new to the server, i started to learn german 20 days ago, any help ?
Iâve had a lot of success from Duolingo so far.
Duolingo ist not exactly viewed with... praise here, but personally I see no problem in using it as long as you don't only use it
The Duolingo German course got a massive update recently and it's a LOT better than it was
what about practicing german ? the talking part ?
My experience so far is that it has taught me enough to be able to have a foundation that i can then practice in other areas. Hence, being here. I'm sure there are plenty of things to be critical of but as someone using it I've found it helpful.
As for talking, the reason I'm here is to practice but if you mean voice then there are online Zoom meetings where you can talk to others based on your level.
I found them through Duolingo oddly enough. They have an events section where tutors host events. Some are paid but the free ones have been good for me.
okaay, thank you so much @empty fern
Good luck!
Huh, really? I might check it out later then
I don't know how realistic it is but I have a goal of reading the first Harry Potter book in German. I ordered it so that it taunts me on my desk every day and encourages me to keep learning.
Nice! I read the first one in german around a year ago, too... I think it's actually a fairly common challenge among language learners in general
Aside from some very specific words, the book is largely understandable imo
Oh cool! That's good to know. I imagine I still have a while to go before I can really get the gist of what I'm reading. I'm still A1 for sure.
I see
I'm guessing somewhere in A2 or B1 I'll get it.
Yeah, that sounds like a good plan
Good.
no bueno
Nice
Who here speaks over 8 languages?
Hi @lone smelt, we've received complaints about your behavior in VC. Please tone it down a bit and stay out of arguments. If you need a break or think you'd benefit from choosing a different channel, please do so.
Can we talk?
I do
@sudden panther I just came into a vc after a few weeks and I am completely friendly you can ask @barren inlet which I am talking to currently
HAH
welche sprachen sprichst du?
Damn, what languages?
I cant say them all, but they're the most popular basically, like Chinese (both traditional and simplified), Japanese, German, Latvian, English, Polish, Russian, French and Italian, nothing else comes to mind rn
Youâre European arenât you
Yup lmao
lol
But yea, why was it a question?
What do you mean?
Like, the "Does anyone here speak more than 8 languages"?
oh, because i have a friend who does
Ooh
And i want to see if anyone speaks more
So you're looking for a polygod, while your friend is a polyglot?
In a nutshell, yes
Looks like you came to the right place then!
Btw if you want to test me,tell me a language and I'm gonna speak in it for 10 minutes
And I mentioned only the languages I speak somewhat fluidly
Every European i know speaks 6+ languages
I can speak Latin aswell if needed
Relax!
My parents only know 2 each
I know some latin
i know neo means new
es certus?
this, this is something i do not understand
Why do you know what "devouring time" means
I said "Are you sure?"
hm
I have no idea, i just know it
i think i read it on a wall or an article
But yea, you're allowed to use google translate if you want to understand me
Detect language -> any language you understand
I know a tiny little bit of dutch, russian (only letters, not actual words), Germany (quite a bit), french (a little), and i am fluent in spanish and English
Do you know what "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"means?
Nope
It means "Thank you for the pain"
hm
Hmmmm
Hmmmmmmmm
Oh, i also know that âversusâ and âet ceteraâ are latin
Yea
Versus means against, i think
And P.S.
and et cetera means the others
Post Scriptum
hmmm, did not know that was latin xd
What do you mean?
I'm gonna speak in one language of your choice for 10 minutes, then when the 10 minutes end, I am gonna switch to english
Hmmm

@jolly nebula are you impressed by his 10 minutes showcase of language skill?

Hallo Leute
I need tips and recommendations from you guys.
I'm up for a scholarship to study in Germany for a summer course. Duration is a month
Which place is the best to do that?
I guess the things to consider are weather and safety
And also the local dialect should be closest to standard
You have to be a little bit more soecific with your questions~
As a guideline, no one will do it for you, bzt you can do stuff and ask if it's correct in #questions if it's shorter stuff or specific questions and in #writing if it's longer texts that you want to hace corrected~

Oh nice! My family on my mum's side are from Malawi ^^
Cool!! 
so basically in âIch kenne keine deutschen Liederâ deutsch is not declined as deutschen because of accusative but rather because its plural and has keine in front
it is in accusative but it would be the same in nominative
Aber das liegt doch einfach daran, dass FĂ€lle im Deutschen etwas... merkwĂŒrdig sind, oder? (Ich habe wirklich gar keine Ahnung davon)
Adjektive sind im Deutschen halt entweder stark oder schwach.
Der starke Mann vs ein starker Mann
Ja weiĂ ich
"kein" verlangt die schwache Deklination, also wÀre es "kein starker Mann".
...ich bin so froh, dass ich Deutsch nicht lernen muss
đ€
Wir als Schweizer mussten das trotzdem mehr oder weniger lernen, denn diese Sachen sind auf Schweizerdeutsch schon recht anders.
en starche Maa, dÀ starche Maa, kÀn starche Maa
ein starker Mann, der starke Mann, kein starker Mann
Ah, deshalb weiĂt du das alles?
Nee, das ist mehr, weil ich Linguistik studiert habe. đ
Wir hatten einen ganzen Kurs ĂŒber die deutsche Grammatik.
Oooh, cool
Ich gebe auch oft anderen Grammatiknachhilfe fĂŒr Deutsch.
Also nicht fĂŒr Deutschlernende, sondern wirklich die Grammatik, die man in der Schule lernen muss. Viele Leute haben tatsĂ€chlich groĂe Probleme mit solchen Sachen.

aber jetzt sieht man nichts

@tardy palm well it could tell me that
With itâs vocal cords?
That all snakes have?

When I can, why can't it? hahhaha
Nah, I'd don't want to bite in a strangers foot lol
And I donât want to try to talk while being squished
one time I actually was like 1cm away to stepping on a snake
Just be nice to snakes they didnât choose to exist đ
this little fcker was next to a swimming bath
I am not mean to them, I just try to avoid them
what's your opinion on spiders?
I just donât like when people hurt animals (Iâm not a vegetarian either but at least when they die itâs Instant and not constant pain)
I don't fcking hurt them lol
But if you got scared enough by one?
I only hurt mosquitos because I hate them
Spiders do not count as animals burn them with fire
if it attacks me with no good reason, I will attack it
hahhahaha
I like spiders more than snakes
atleast here in germany
Actually I donât even step on spiders, I leave them alone
But theyâre still creepy
I never understood why anyone would want a pet tarantula
I once had a 3cm big spider (body only) next to my face in my bed. I didn't rly move I just let it vibe with me
then why did you have a pet snake lol
Because snakes are not creepy
probably because of the same reason
Unlike spiders
other people don't think like that
spiderman got spiderman because of a spider haha
ik
I keep something you probably think is even worse than snakes
what?
You know whatâs really surprising about them
?
You literally canât even smell them or hear them
those beasts are just superior
The only time you hear them is if you let light into their enclosure because then they all start panicking and trying to run away from the light
You hear them walking, thatâs all
xD
I just imagine panicking cockroaches rn xD
But thereâs actually another reason why I have them
I breed them because then I donât have to buy any from the pet store
to feed them?
Because I have Leopardgeckos that eat them
makes sense
But
geckos are funny
You really have to treat them like your pets
Like take good care of them
Or else they die
cockroaches can die???
Yes but usually only of old age
how old do they get?
The females can live for 2-3 years and males 1-2
thats long for such a small animal
They are relatively large insects though to be fair
yeahhh, but still not big
you have any other pets?
They are like 4-5 cm when they are adults
But they start out like 3-4 millimeters when they are born
oh well, I didn't know that they are so big
lol
Dogs
that don't fit xD
pets are expensive
do they grow a beard? 
One time one of them bit my nose lmao
hahha
It was bleeding too
Youâre thinking of bearded dragons
Leopard geckos are way smaller
nah, I just think of old geckos with a human like beard haha
Btw if you donât Feed the roaches they will also die. But they can live for 2-4 weeks without food because theyâre cold-blooded. And they can live for a week without water
So itâs pretty easy to take care of them
you know what'd be a funny experiment? you let 5 cockroaches free and one snake and then you look for 4weeks if the snake gets all of them or if they breed
And the geckos can live for like a month without food (but thatâs just cruel to make them wait that long as your pet)
But they will refuse to eat every day
You have to wait like 3-4 days
Then theyâre hungry again
Lmao
I have no idea if any snakes eat them
or just let one gecko out
Roaches have really tough armor as adults so idk if the snake could even paralyze it
But they could Just swallow it
Not all snakes use s venom
a
they could throttle them ahhaha
anal breathing? hahah
They breathe through these spots on the sides of their bodies
Theyâre really prominent as they get older
Like these orange spots
then the snake just needs to close all of them ahah
Snakes prefer something squishy though
Roaches are not that
xD
Unless theyâre juveniles
But another reason I breed them is because once I have a lot of them I can also sell them to people xD
Theyâre a popular choice at pet stores so if I can sell them for cheaper than the pet stores itâs a win-win
man gets millionaire with cockroaches
In German I know you call them Schaben but have you ever heard of Kakerlaken đ
Apparently another word for them
you hear Kakerlaken way more often than Schaben
Really? I just remember one time I said Kakerlaken to a German and they didnât know what this is until when I said Schaben
Maybe it is regional?
yeah, where was he/she from?
I think NRW
hmm idk
Do you wanna see my geckos
ofc
Theyâre a lot bigger than they look like I was surprised when I measured them, both around 23cm
Ok Iâll brb to take a picture
ok ok
Here is one
so you're a pirate?
Sometimes though he climbs to your other shoulder
Or in my case he climbs up my head
Which only sort of hurts
only theoretically: when you cut of the tail of one of them, will it grow back?
Yes
Thatâs not even theoretical
They can do that
If a predator attacks them in the wild they can drop their tail by themselves actually
And hopefully it only eats their tail
So they can get away
Imagine if humans could do that
they kinda look chunky 
Their tail is made of literally just fat mostly, so when they have nothing to eat, their tail keeps them alive
And it can for like a week
This is why when they lose their tail they are very vulnerable
Because they canât rely on their tail
They have to eat
And it takes a while to grow a new tail
like 1 month?
I've always wanted one of those geckos 
It depends how fat their tail is
It could be only 2 weeks if itâs a really skinny tail
your geckos look like they have a fat tail hehe
davor wĂŒrde ich Angst haben
They are very healthy 
Theyâre great
Like I said you can set them anywhere on you and they donât move that much
When they do start moving a lot it means they want to go back to their cage 
Wait I have to see what it is in celcius LOL
I think there is a button on the thermostat that can change to celcius
americans and their units
Itâs around 31-37 @vapid garnet
ah ok, thats warm
But not the entire cage
Only one half of it is warm
Because if they get too hot they need a spot to cool down
So the other side is colder
ah ok
You know whatâs funny one time I sent a picture of one of my cockroaches here and I got warned by a mod lmao
why haha
Because some people just hate them I guess
Only like 2% of existing species of roaches even infest houses
The rest stay outside
The ones I have arenât one that can infest my house
Because theyâre a tropical roach from South America
So itâs too cold here
They couldnât reproduce
thats smart
hahhaha
They wonât die from the cold because well, theyâre roaches
Invincible
But they canât have babies if itâs cold
You know whatâs actually nasty
what

hahahaha
But something else funny I have noticed
They eat the dead males way more often than the dead females
Not sure why
that's weird
Maybe theyâre tastier
Also they canât bite so i am totally fearless picking them up đ€Ł
why can't they bite
Well firstly they wonât eat something unless itâs smelly or theyâre really hungry and human skin doesnât really smell that much
They obviously need to bite to eat fruit but like
Iâve had them since last March
Never been bitten
I donât know man they just donât
don't feed them for too long and they will haha
and why do you know that hahaa
Ok tbh I have never been bitten by one but I have just heard a lot of people on YouTube say that crickets bite
And that roaches donât
Actually there is this one video I can show you as an example
https://youtu.be/yTohg6qoync @vapid garnet look what they did to this gecko

This video contains footages that may upset/offend some people. What I'm referring to is a deceased house gecko with its skull ...
Yep lol
This is why I donât even use crickets
Also crickets stink and they are loud
And they die in a week
Anyway it was nice talking to you but I think Iâm gonna play some videogames now @vapid garnet

@quartz viper âIch werde geimpftâ means you are getting vaccinated. âIch bin geimpftâ means you are vaccinated.
So in order to say you got vaccinated, turn werden into wurden, itâs simple past.
The confusing part is if I try to explain it with âI was vaccinatedâ so I am using âgotâ
I was vaccinated can mean two things
Ich war geimpft
Ich wurde geimpft
Mean these two things
German just has a different form for each one
If you use âwerdenâ it describes the process, if you use âseinâ it described the current state.
thx, I think i am getting the point but still must to take my time to fully understand it
Let me give you a picture to imagine it with
âIch werde geimpftâ you can say this before youâre vaccinated as well as while itâs happening, like while the needle is in your arm, literally, xD
After the needle pulls out, now you can say âIch bin geimpftâ
Or âIch wurde geimpftâ

but why do they use ich wurde geimpft more than ich bin geimpft
I donât know, I think it just sounds nicer in German most likely, or itâs just preferred.
But you can say both, if you want
đ I would have chosen ich bin geimpft
Ich bin geimpft worden
This came from a conversation where someone said where they were vaccinated
so it was very different in that context
Yes
And I wanted to shed some light on the good ol Vorgangs- versus Zustandspassiv
Because the wrong one was used for what they were going for
Ah which one
Ich bin/war geimpft
man könnte sagen "ich habe die Spitzenproteine in meiner Blut"
Zustand is a state
Participles often describe a state
Like in the example Wikipedia is giving
Aber es scheint wie Umschweife...
Geöffnet = opened
Wait lol, no, the participle does not describe it
It is the sein vs werden
sein = to be
werden = to become
If it helps you can think of it more literally
Spitzenproteine im ganzen Körper
Die TĂŒr wird geöffnet = the door is becoming (getting or being) opened
maybe in english
Ich war geimpft - I was vaccinated
Ich wurde geimpft - I was being vaccinated
sounds unnatural but just to have some differentiation
and technically works đ€
yes it is unnaturalđ
Ich wurde geimpft also means âI was vaccinatedâ.
Thatâs why it can cause confusion
This is why I described it more like âI got vaccinatedâ
yea that's why i was saying we could translate it to 'was being'
in your example it sounds better, Die TĂŒr wurde geöffnet could definitely be The door was being opened
idk i'm grasping onto anything to make these make sense lmao
Yeah, it would need some other context to actually be translated like that though for example âAls die TĂŒr geöffnet wurde, habe ich sie kommen sehenâ
As/when the door was being opened I saw her coming
tru
well it at least makes a lot more sense now since I know that it is literally just sein+adjective basically
I never really thought about it being âwas being openedâ but itâs definitely possible
partizip ii but regardless
Iâm glad itâs easier now
Itâs confusing af at first
Once you get it itâs clear as day XD
yeah lol ty for the explanations â€ïž
Np
â€ïž
Itâs actually totally smart to think of it like this because if itâs in the present tense âich werde geimpftâ then you have to use âbeingâ as part of the translation anyways, ie âI am being vaccinatedâ (whether or not you say it while a needle is in your arm does not matter, btw, itâs just before or during you can say it)
But then usually a time is also given so for example âin 2 Tagen werde ich geimpftâ
now I'm finally able to take a good sleep while thinking about this zzzz

Tag 12 (zwölf):
Heute habe ich ĂŒber Substantiv Deklination auf Deutsch. Deutsch ist schwierig. Ich hasse es, aber ich mag es gleichzeitig.
In my pimsleur german course I'm meant to be an american invited to a family in Hamburg for an integration program thing
While being shown around the house, when they get to the bedroom the mom mentions the window is open
"Sie können es gern zu machen"
I can feel where this is going
I dont. Tell me
Ich habe auch gelernt, dass ich preteritum machen kann wenn ich "te" beigebe
Ich glaubte
Ich machte

@glad merlin get used to being told to open your window in Germany, not to close it đ
Neither one of my host momâs even addressed me with Sie lol it was du both times which was nice
đ
Americans not being able to figure out german windows is kind of a meme
Huh
Why are German Windows a meme?
Oh wait
How to open or half open a Window? Americans cant do that?
Hii
hi
hi

yo what do you guys use for reading material to improve your German? like for B2-C1 level
The subject here is die Einreise
@rapid cosmos
Well
Because it is the subject?
No AuslÀnder is in dativ
no, "sei" is correct
Die Einreise ist den AuslÀndern verboten
The trip is not permitted for internationals
Die einreise, nominativ
Den AuslÀndern, dativ
You can also say, Die Einreise ist fĂŒr AuslĂ€nder verboten
Nouns in dativ and plural get an extra N at its end, die AuslÀnder -> den AuslÀndern
No itâs not

hallo
hallo

Ich habe eine Frage.
Is spielen or zocken used more commonly when talking about playing Videospielen? I have been told to use zocken.
Interested
Spielen, wenn man mit Ă€lteren Menschen redet oder wenn man Brettspiele, Kartenspiele, etc. meint. Denn frĂŒher war "zocken" negativ konnotiert, da damit nur Teilnahme an GlĂŒcksspielen gemeint war.
Zocken wird im Kontext von Videospielen ausschlieĂlich informell gebraucht, also mĂŒndlich, in Chats oder unter Freunden/Kollegen, nicht in z. B. Zeitungsberichten.
Ich wĂŒrde aber generell meistens zocken sagen.
HELLO
Danke schön
can you kinda translate or tell what did you understand?đ
quick help please
@uneven halo you can join vc 15 minutes after joining the server. Read #getting-started for more information
In the context of games, spielen is used for things like board games and card games. Zocken really means to gamble. You can use it when talking to older people. It is exclusively used informally with friends and/or colleagues for playing video games.
Thanks man appreciate it
Bitte schön
Hallo Leute
hi
Ich bin AnfÀnger
Hi
was lÀuft?
Mein Server:/
naja
zocken can mean to steal, can be used to say 'play' just about anything, but yea it also means to gamble, usually in a reckless way with a high risk ('an der Börse zocken' = risk your money stock exchange by gambling), might also be used informally to say 'take' ('Kann ich mir 'ne Kippe [cigarette] von dir zocken?') @sinful cove
so you can zocken: football, basketball, board games, cars games like poker, video games or even rock paper scissor
Ach. Interessant.
