Was that right?

lost dagger
#

hallo

#

yes it is (if you're FireFox)

sour skiff
#

@manic granite For example

#

I request that he pay me the amount he owes me

#

There’s a subjunctive

#

I ask that he be released from prison.

sour skiff
#

@tardy palm Then why do some use the morphological subjunctive and others not?

tardy palm
#

Using „was“ is purely colloquial. It is not correct according to linguists, but people say it anyway.

#

I’ve never met someone who never uses was like that.

#

In some instances, it almost sounds wrong or rather unnatural to use were, it just depends.

#

Largely it doesn’t sound weird, but there have been some sentences I’ve thought about saying were in, that wouldn’t have sounded very natural if I did.

sour skiff
#

Maybe it’s some kind of hypercorrection, somewhat like how people say things like “come toward my friend and I”

tardy palm
#

I‘m not sure if you’ve encountered it before, but even German speech has things in it that are technically grammatically wrong that people still commonly say.

sour skiff
#

Paraphrasing the genitive with von is a common one

tardy palm
#

That one is interesting because it’s actually pretty debatable whether that’s actually entirely incorrect.

sour skiff
#

I don’t know if it’s even wrong anymore, considering that feminine nouns lack distinguishable genitive forms

tardy palm
#

Imo it’s sort of incorrect 😅

sour skiff
#

You mean somewhat incorrect?

#

(prescriptivist joke)

tardy palm
#

Lmao

#

I didn’t know prescriptivists would say anything about that one

sour skiff
#

Because sort of doesn’t look like it should be an adverb

#

In the sense that you used it, it is an adverb rather than a noun and a preposition

#

It means the same as somewhat

tardy palm
sour skiff
#

Prescriptivism is rarely successful

tardy palm
#

That would be like saying you shouldn’t say „every day“ which is also a phrasal adverb.

sour skiff
#

Oh, but that’s a temporal accusative!

tardy palm
#

Like, dafuq am I supposed to say in place of that

#

Daily? I guess…

#

Doesn’t feel the same though

sour skiff
#

It’s because there was once an instrumental case or some shit

tardy palm
#

In Germany during my year abroad there was one mistake that was rampant and driving me insane

#

Which was when people would not put the verb at the end of the clause after „weil“.

sour skiff
#

Probably because the weird word order is a result of latin scribes and not natural speech

#

Perhaps in a few decades the latin word order in subordinate clauses will be dropped

tardy palm
#

It’s not as if they never do it correctly, quite the opposite actually. But as far as I understand it, they mostly do it if the sentence is not a main clause.

#

You still hear both word-orders irl.

#

But only one should exist lel

sour skiff
#

I suppose either one could win out or both could become acceptable

#

Perhaps one word order over the other will come to indicate something semantically

tardy palm
#

The very weird thing about it as a learner is, you first learn how to speak properly, and all the rules get pounded into your head, and then you get to actually hearing how people speak, and it’s preposterous that people don’t even fully speak how you were taught they should; you then have to learn how to purposely make mistakes almost so that you come across as more natural, same thing with the was/were thing.

#

To be fair it’s pretty difficult to explain the thing with weil, it seems kinda arbitrary.

sour skiff
#

I don’t get funny looks if I use the morphological subjunctive or the oblique relative/interrogative pronoun, but if I use directional adverbs like whither/thither/hither/whence/thence/hence I get weird looks

tardy palm
#

And why wouldn’t you? You sound like you’re from the time of Shakespeare if you do loleyes

#

Nobody uses those words in real life

sour skiff
#

Sometimes I just want to know the place whither someone is going lol

#

They’re still obligatory in German though

tardy palm
#

It’s cool that German still has its wo/woher/wohin as regularly used words

sour skiff
#

It’s like Russian vs Polish. In Russian those adverbs are obligatory. In Polish, they sound archaic.

tardy palm
#

German is also the last Germanic language to still mostly fully use its grammatical cases (with genitive being the only of the 4 that is seeing a decrease in overall usage).

sour skiff
#

Not true, try Icelandic

tardy palm
#

Oh yeah, I know nothing about that, didn’t realize it’s Germanic honestly

sour skiff
#

All daughters of Old Norse are Germanic languages. Icelandic is the most conservative.

tardy palm

Weak noun.

faq weak nouns

Weak Nouns

Weak nouns are called this way because they receive the same endings as adjectives inflected with weak endings. They take an additional ending -n in every case except nominative singular. This is also known as N-Declension and affects almost exclusively masculine nouns.

Nominativ: der Junge, die Junge__n__
Genitiv: des Junge__n__, der Junge__n__
Dativ: dem Junge__n__, den Junge__n__
Akkusativ: den Junge__n__, die Junge__n__

Some nouns end with a suffix -en to make the pronunciation easier:
der Mensch, den Mensch__en__

Das Herz is the only non-masculine (neuter) noun with N-Declension❣

So how do we recognize these nouns? We can divide them into 3 big groups:

  1. nouns of Greek and Latin origin,
  2. nouns ending with -e (most of these refer to people or animals),
  3. other random German nouns (Mensch, Herr, Student, Nachbar, Prinz etc.)

Another way to divide the groups could be:

  1. nouns denoting male beings in general (der Bauer, der Knabe, der Herr, der Junge, der Kunde etc.)
  2. nouns indicating nationality or religious affiliation (der Chinese, der Russe, der Türke, der Jude, der Katholik, der Protestant)
  3. nouns designating male beings and ending in the foreign suffixes (-ant, -arch, -ast, -ege, -ent, -ist, -oge, -om, -oph, -ot: der Kollege, der Student, der Psychologe, der Polizist, der Philosoph)

der Käse and words ending with -ee aren’t weak nouns.

Genitive of Weak Nouns
You might have noticed from the examples above that weak nouns don’t have the additional -s in genitive like other masculine nouns.
Some exceptions are das Herz and nouns of group 3 that don’t refer to people nor animals (Name, Wille, Glaube, Buchstabe etc.), which take both the -n and -s endings.
Example: der Name, des Name__ns__.

# floral raven So basically i need some some tips to pass the « mündlichprüfung >

I'm working under the assumption that the exam is in person, or if they're doing it online that not much has changed. loleyes

Essentially you're given exercises and a partner that you can't pick yourself. You have some time to prepare, and then you're supposed to talk about the things with them. If you haven't already seen a sample test, our resource list (>faq resources) has one for each level.

In theory, your partner doesn't affect your grade. If you're unlucky enough to get a partner who doesn't say anything, you can pretend that they're talking and still make conversation to them, that's the "official" guideline. Of course it's much worse when your partner is conversationally weak because it ultimately makes it harder for you to talk, but ultimately you're only judged based on what you end up saying. So make that count, but also try to assess how good your partner is, and use the prep time to figure out what you're gonna be saying. It might be a dialogue, describing a picture, a trip, whatever, you should have a rough idea of how it'll go before you're called into the exam room. It's definitely in your interest to help your partner out a bit during the prep phase if they seem to be struggling.

As for yourself, check out this grading sheet to know what you'll be graded on. https://www.osd.at/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/zb2_auswertungsbogen_sprechen.pdf Essentially it boils down to how confidently you can speak, if your vocabulary seems big enough, if you're doing well with grammar, not repeating the same phrase over and over again etc., but definitely do read the full thing so you know what's expected.

If you're studying with books, definitely look through phrases that you can use in a conversation for expressing your opinion, agreeing or disagreeing with your partner, and brush up on vocabulary. You should be confident with sentences consisting of multiple clauses at this point and it's a huge plus if you end up using them. And that's all. If you can speak confidently and somewhat fluently, you should definitely be able to (at the very least) pass.

Hallo! I'm a Romanian student conducting an interview for a university project entitled "Leistungsdruck in der Schule und Uni" and I need to interview 3 native German students about their academic experience. Is there a chance, someone here could help me with some answers? I promise it won't take long! 😅

#

@hot cloak punished for that yes, but also just a simple „oh my god“

#

I mean I curse quite a lot but to this day I still never say either one of those things

#

Upbringing can have such big effects on someone

hot cloak
tardy palm
#

But in the Christian religion one of the Ten Commandments is to not take god‘s name in vain, which is exactly what you’re doing when you say that or Jesus Christ/for Christ’s sake

#

To him it was extremely offensive

#

I mean even to me it’s somewhat offensive but I‘m nowhere near as religious as him so I don’t judge people just because they have different beliefs

#

That’s basically the gist of it

glacial torrent
#

somewhere else said it meant to do evil in the name of god

tardy palm
#

And everyone hasn’t been brought up in the exact same way/in the same house, so not everyone has the same exact viewpoints

Many Americans are protestant due to historical reasons

#

Do you know why its like that?

hot cloak
#

Why?

keen quarry
#

I didnt know that they are getting more power but you knew it

#

So you might know more

hot cloak
#

Maybe because of the increasing number of people who emigrated from central and south America and also their above average children number

sour skiff
#

Americans who identify as “Christian” with no further qualifiers are usually theologically protestant

#

Nondenominational churches often teach obviously protestant theology

atomic folio
#

Wenn ich das esse, fliege ich dann, oderr werde ich ne Fliege? xD

hot cloak
#

gute Frage

#

es gab mal eine Doku in der die Vermutung angestellt wurde, das frühe Europäer fliegenpilze aufgrund von haluzigenen Wirkungen konsumierten aber bei Bierdosen dann recht schnell starben, kp, ob das stimmt.

sage kayak
#

Fliegenpilze sind weit weniger giftig als die meisten annehmen

#

was nicht heißen soll, dass die ungefährlich sind

#

und ja, eine halluzinogene Wirkung gibts da ebenfalls

One of the reasons why I'm learning German is because I thought that it wouldn't take that much, because it's fairly similar to the languages that I already know

#

But no

English is so much closer to my native language than German

You can't expect everyone to understand your exact meaning online.

#

Until reading it 5 times, I also thought it was a typoed question

hot cloak
#

what question

late yarrow
hot cloak
#

how is that a question

#

that's a statement

late yarrow
#

I said typoed 🤷‍♀️

#

Ie, "What is a chad capybara" but you left out the is, if that makes sense

hot cloak
#

huh?

#

why would I randomly ask that out of context

#

whatever

late yarrow
#

Hello

sudden panther
#

@hot cloak you've purposefully trolled a lesson, made weird noises and intentionally trolled while reading, so we're going to keep your mute.

sudden panther
#

Wie ich sehe, war dein Deutsch vor 5 Tagen deutlich besser, also ja, guter Versuch, aber du bleibst gemutet.

sudden panther
#

Mhm.

#

Scheint auch als wäre dein Leseverständnis auch ganz toll. 😌

O wow it looks like they just left huh

sudden panther
#

Oui.

I see I see, a good choice.
(I just can't believe the ppl that troll lessons like.. antagonise someone doing something for the benefit of others for free, that uses up their own time. Like what?)

There are a number of people who have nothing better to do with their lives than to annoy people trying to learn unfortunately @late yarrow
