Hallo

Can someone Host A lesson please?

[paper radish]

@nimble pebble make this a no u note

[cinder olive]

Einmal bitte hier einen Emote raus machen, danke.

[fathom vector]

Emoji that have text are usually unreadable when scaled down and are therefore not accepted for voting.

[chilly breach]

What about turning it into a sticker?

[cinder olive]

@fathom vector 🤔

[cinder olive]

@fathom vector do I still get feedback?

[fathom vector]

Oh I missed this. I suppose it can go up for voting as a sticker.

[cinder olive]

Would be very cool, thanks 😄

So if you guys add that name it weirdscreed cause I'm bored so just add that name

[frail fossil]

can there be an A level lesson pls

[woeful light]

hey, I thought that I'd try writing a faq article about the meaning of Freund/Freundin. It's not quite finished yet. I'd appreciate any criticism or mistakes you can point out, as well as further examples.

Freund/Freundin
What does Freund/Freundin mean?
Does it mean "friend", "boyfriend/girlfriend" or both?
Answer: it can mean both, although the meaning depends on the context in which the word is used. There are, however, a few commonly used ways to make its meaning clearer:

ein Freund/eine Freundin (von mir) - a friend (of mine) = one of many
In most cases it's clear that it refers to a friend and not a partner
examples:
Eine Freundin von mir ist Ingenieurin. - A friend of mine is an engineer
Ich habe einen Freund getroffen - I met a friend
but: Sie hat einen Freund

mein Freund/meine Freundin - my friend or my boyfriend/girlfriend
In this case it's a bit more ambiguous, so you have to refer to the context of the sentence
examples:
Meine Freundin ist endlich zu mir gezogen. Wir sind seit einem Jahr zusammen.
My girlfriend finally moved in with me. We've been together for a year.
In the above case it's clear that Freundin means girlfriend

example in which the context makes it clear that it means "friend"

fester Freund/feste Freundin
In this case it's clear that it's referring to a partner and not a friend
examples:

since I'm a bit tired right now I will try finishing it tomorrow

[kindred sphinx]

I would add an example with just "ein Freund", without "von mir" but in the same section. See Aldi's message #general message

And maybe use "meine" in the example. It could confuse beginners?

[woeful light]

maybe you are right, I'm not sure if a beginner asking that question would have knowledge of possessive articles

I put the von mir part in parentheses to show that it's optional, but that it's commonly used for emphasis

[neat dragon]

@woeful light i read it briefly but I think it would be useful to also mention the difference meaning of Freund and Bekannte (since it's not the same as in english)

[woeful light]

doesn't Bekannte/r just mean acquaintance?

[neat dragon]

yes, but in English you'd just use a word friend in most instances / the distinction isn't so clear

[woeful light]

could you give me a few examples?

I also just realised that "ein Freund/eine Freundin" could still be ambiguous

"Sie hat einen Freund"

[neat dragon]

well, this is mainly social media where you're friended with people and have your friend list even though in german they would simply be your Bekannte

[woeful light]

do you want to say that in English one would refer to their social media friends as "friends", whereas in German they would say "Bekannte/r"?

wouldn't they just say "Freund"?

[neat dragon]

i'm saying it's worth to note the difference that in English word friend can be used more freely while in German it actually means a person you know well and/or have a deeper connection with

however it might be irrelevant for friend/boyfriend thingy you're explaining idk

you decide

[woeful light]

yeah, it feels out of scope

maybe it could be an extra on a second page

[woeful light]

you can write about that yourself and then it could be added as a second page or even as a separate article

[neat dragon]

If I find time (I have Zeitmangel these days)

[woeful light]

it also sounds interesting, sadly I don't have any irl German friends to confirm it 😔

it's almost bedtime, so I will have another look at it tomorrow

[neat dragon]

[nimble pebble]

As someone (thanks hecke) reminded me that I didn't post the emotes / stickers that got added last round via #archived-emote-suggestions, I'll just post them here now and repost them in that channel when the current round ends

Can anyone teach me German?

There are no private lessons or 1-on-1 tutoring offered here as this server is a community effort and everyone is a volunteer.

Are there still some kind of lessons here?

Yes! Our lovely volunteer hosts organise lessons from time to time. To find out more, check out #lesson-info.

How else can I use this server to learn German?

For more information about how the server works and how it can help you learn German, check out #info and #getting-started.

Du könntest mir die Sätze übersetzen, damit ich mich auf sie beziehen kann, wenn ich Texte korrigiere. Übersetzungen für die Sätze habe ich schon im Kopf, aber es wäre auch nett, sie von einem Muttersprachler übersetzt zu bekommen.

nur wenn du dafür natürlich Zeit hast

[celest shuttle]

Schreib mir mal bitte eine DM

[dusty oriole]

Has any one here acquired the German Citizenship, or know someone here who has? Mainly asking because I am interested in doing that myself and have some questions that I hope someone can answer.

[tough sonnet]

Hallo leute !!

[granite cove]

There's that website, make-it-in-germany.com or whatever, I would start there; lots of great information.

@vagrant python?

Hi

[tough sonnet]

Guten tag

[lunar grotto]

guten tag

[crimson basin]

Hallo. Seit zwei Jahren lerne ich Deutsch und ich arbeite in einer deutschen Firma. Ein Kollege hat mir über dieses Channel erzählt. Also ich grüße euch 🙂

[left vigil]

@crimson basin Sei gegrüßt

[young ermine]

Du trinkst ein Bier. (you → one person)
Ihr trinkt ein Bier. (you → group of people)

@neat dragon I am confused about how one is plural

ihr in this case

I simply can not wrap my head around how : you are drinking a beer to signify a group of people

[neat dragon]

yesss, the usage in English might be a bit wonky, especially with this example

what you should focus on is not the English part but understand the concept in German, that there is a distinction between "du" and "ihr"

(unless your native language is not english and you already have this distinction in it)

[neat dragon]

and if you really wanna wrap your head around this, simply add something like that "you guys are drinking a beer"

[young ermine]

ohhhh thats really good

its like du is pertaining to talking to your brother and ihr talking to both ur brother and sister asking them the same question/statement

[neat dragon]

yup

[young ermine]

thank you

[hexed dirge]

Best tak

[neat dragon]

another example (du and ihr in dative case)
wie geht's dir - how are you, asking one person,
wie geht's euch - how are you, addressing a group of people

was machst du? - what are you doing (one person)
was macht ihr? - what are y'all doing? (group)

[young ermine]

yeah im still learning the cases, do you know if the resources have a section covering the cases?

[neat dragon]

#resources

check pinned message for drive link, there should be a grammar section

[neat dragon]

I'm glad someone's actually readying my presentations

[hexed dirge]

It all paid off

[cosmic wigeon]

@nimble pebble

[nimble pebble]

I assume that's an emote suggestion?

[inland wind]

[cosmic wigeon]

yes

[inland wind]

[dusty oriole]

@nimble pebble idk how to make it png

photopea is a free software on browser where you can edit out the background

Kein Problem. Ich besitze doch blitzschnell verarbeitende Computer. 🥰

[nimble pebble]

This is what I got for now. We'll get something better soon and until that happens I'll put this up for votes in #archived-emote-suggestions.

[dusty oriole]

Ok 👌

[weak mural]

Hello I have a couple questions for people who live in Germany on here

[magic flicker]

shoot

[weak mural]

I'm taking a trip to Germany this spring break with my former German / government teacher to Germany with some of his other old students to celebrate this retirement. He used to work in teufelsburg and spent 3 years of his life impersonating being a native German. I was wondering if there were any obscure places you guys would recommend us to visit that will give him a new experience and aren't too difficult for a older man to do (so like no super long distance runs or things like that but a lot of walking / hiking is okay). He has mainly been to west Germany (Bavaria and west Berlin)

[magic flicker]

Really Depends on what you want to do. Berlin and Heidelberg are somewhat save options i would think.

[neat dragon]

hi! #archived-culture-study-visa is the perfect place for such questions, this is a channel for feedback and discussions regarding the server

[woeful light]

@fathom vector @nimble pebble I had an idea for a writing task (inspired by Bulli): The Native Ticket Challenge .
Basically, you give people the same task as you would in a native ticket, explaining how it works and what rules to follow.
I'm asking you because Bottfried is needed in order to generate the words (you can just make him post the challenge on a regular basis or a person could do it if that would motivate learners more).

[fathom vector]

Possible, but would probably require additional work. Our current word pool is a bit limited because we're working under the assumption that any single person will just do one ticket anyway.

[woeful light]

soo, is that a yes?

[fathom vector]

No it's just an "it's technically possible", I can't singlehandedly approve or reject anything. But in general, if there's community interest for something then we'll tend to cater to it.

However, what worries me a bit is that writing tasks are incredibly unpopular. We used to have monthly prompts which most people just ignored (admittedly we were a lot smaller back then). Then later @vagrant python picked up monthly writing prompts again, though I'm unsure how that went and how many people did them?

So my advice would probably be to bring it up in curators and see what everyone else thinks. We could probably try doing a quick and dirty semi-automated trial a few times and then seeing if it's worth investing additional effort into.

You might need to submit yourself, check the imaj requirements there #archived-emote-suggestions message

this one?

yes, it might actually be helpful! i always use to convey a similar emotion. blobheart would make much more sense

[latent dawn]

hello

any tips on how to start learning german to make it easier

[spice vapor]

gibt es eine Gegenargument für Sprachkanäle mit 3 Leuten? hat einer von den Mods das je beantwortet. sonst werd ich gern eine Suggestion machen.

es ist ja hilfreich da manchmal es nur einen Freundeskreis von 3 Leuten gibt und es ist dann schwer sich in einem Kanal für 4 Leute zu unterhalten. manchmal kommt jemand anders rein und das Gespräch wird unterbrochen.

[gaunt bridge]

Basically it's too much to make a channel for every single possible channel size. We can't have one for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, etc. It's too many. So we chose 2, 4, and 6.

But if you want to make suggestions, please use #suggestions .

It's fine to give feedback for new server features in #community-discussion but for bringing up a new suggestion, you would use #suggestions .

The main problem is that we prefer that people don't go into #1025098221653073940 with broad, vague ideas of topics to talk about. We expect people to come with a clear topic to discuss and to discuss it seriously. So it doesn't really make sense to have a general thread for any topics there. Each thread will typically be a unique and specific topic. However, we will see how the channel is used in the next weeks or so, and we can make adjustments depending on what we feel needs to be changed.

bruh it would be better to have a channel

for questions and all

cause it was quicker

and people were continuously discussing there

smh

[inland wind]

What's wrong with asking your question in a specified thread that you can customise yourself?

[gaunt bridge]

There are still two basic text channels for questions: #questions and #questions-2 . Which channel are you referring to exactly that you think a forum doesn't work for?

[rapid breach]

@gaunt bridgeis this the right place/

？

[gaunt bridge]

For sensitive topics? No, it has to be #1025098221653073940 . You can get the role in #850404908946423828 .

yeah we just had not enough people at that point

only 6-8 people were working on that task back then

but we solved all the other tasks pretty much immediately

hii, i m looking forward to go for my masters from Germany. i have done my bachelors frm civil engineering but want to change major to something different. Can i change my major if yes then suggest me something interesting.

rn searching for the courses over daad

[neat dragon]

There is unfortunately no right answer to this question. Some universities require a specific background and some are more lenient when it comes to it. It's best if you go to university's website to read about and/or contact Studentabteilung.

[spice wedge]

I find that the German universities tend to lean towards Specialization, once you have made progress in that field it is very hard to switch to a new field especially at a higher level. The new field would need to be closely related to your old one, with many transferable skills/knowledge. Even then, you would most likely need to start from a much earlier stage and make your way back up to your old level in the other field.

Not 100% based on facts or written information, just general information from conversations with my roomates and other students at my university

[wet trail]

but brother visiting to all those universities sites will take a lot of time n i dont have that much...... and what about that student help line?

[midnight dune]

Its a lot of time but it will leave you incredibly informed. There is unfortunately no better way, nor tool or app or gadget that will get you the information you need as precisely.

Think of it as the investment you gotta make to do what you want to do in the future

[wet trail]

makes sense brother....

lets go for the same approach then

[gaunt bridge]

Hi, this is the wrong channel for asking about uni stuff. Please use #1033125270217048246 for that.

[wet trail]

okay alright will do that to

[cosmic wigeon]

My bad, you don’t have to tag Bulli for it~ now he hates me

[cerulean finch]

Hello guys, does this server have like weekly reading lessons or something similar to it, where we are in a voice chat and getting corrected?

[low hare]

#lesson-info

[cerulean finch]

Heyy , I was reading about it and it said to have a talk in community-discussion if you want to suggest or look up new lesson. Hence I commented here.

[gaunt bridge]

Yes, but not weekly specifically. When a host decides to run a lesson, they will announce it in #lesson-announcements and you can also see it in the Events tab. Reading lessons are the most common type. But hosts decide their own schedules since they are all volunteers.

[cerulean finch]

I see it. Thank you very much 😃

[nimble pebble]

I'm not sure if they really have a wide appeal to the community in any way (there are guidelines that you can find in the pinned messages of #archived-emote-suggestions)

[timid umbra]

Ich habe eine Frage für ein Berliner. Wenn ich deutsch in Berlin spreche ,Würde jemand annehmen, dass ich den Berliner Dialekt spreche, oder würde er mich auf Hochdeutsch ansprechen?

[warm seal]

Ich komme aus Berlin.
Meine Freunde / Familie / Kollegen sprechen alle die meiste Zeit Hochdeutsch. Wir haben alle einen leichten Dialekt, aber man merkt es nicht sehr doll! Es kommt aber darauf an, wo du bist. An manchen Orten in Berlin trifft man Menschen, die sehr stark und nur in Dialekt sprechen, für sie ist Hochdeutsch sprechen anstrengend.
Also: es kommt darauf an, wen du wo triffst
Aber in Restaurants etc. sprechen die meisten immer gutes Deutsch mit wenig Dialekt!
Beim nächsten Mal frag so etwas gerne in #1033125270217048246 , da passt die Frage besser hin

[tardy crystal]

Ja, dem stimme ich etwas zu.
alle, die ich kenne, sprechen eigentlich Hochdeutsch, aber die etwas ältere Generation, vor allem auch diese Generation, aus Ost Deutschland kommt sprechen mit einem starken Akzent. Einen Dialekt würde ich das jetzt nicht nennen.

Wenn ich aber generell in Berlin jemanden anspreche, dann mache ich das auf Englisch, weil egal wen du ansprichst, jeder zweite kann einfach kein Deutsch vor allem Einwanderer aus überall aus der Welt. @timid umbra

[fathom vector]

Can confirm. I've spoken to dear friend great user valued member amazing person fantastic chef fantastic programmer rabaukensahne and to @nimble pebble, and I could definitely understand one of them without any issues.

[nimble pebble]

Oof, I was reading this seeing my ping and all these nice attributes and was like 'woah, what the hell' and then eww
and now I'm wondering if this was your plan all along

[fathom vector]

Lmfaoooo yes. 😍

[nimble pebble]

[dusty oriole]

Does anyone have any information regarding summer intensivkurse in Germany?

[neat dragon]

courses are very different as they're offered by a variety of languages schools, it's best to google for "cityname deutsch intensivkurs" or something to get results

also, the proper channel to ask such questions would be #1033125270217048246

[dusty oriole]

Oh, perfect! Thank you so much:)

[timid umbra]

Sie wollen mir also sagen, dass die Dialekte in Berlin tot sind?

[timid umbra]

Also i thought here would of been alright since i thought this was a German community discussion

[tardy crystal]

Ja..

[timid umbra]

Oh

Das macht mir traurig , Weil ich deustch Dialekt sprechen wollte

[tardy crystal]

Es gibt einen Dialekt

Aber mehr auch nicht

[timid umbra]

Und das ist was mir sehr traurig machen

[tardy crystal]

was mich sehr traurig macht*

Aber wir hatten glaube ich auch nie einen Dialekt in Berlin XD

[timid umbra]

Why can't you say "ist"

"That is what made me sad"

[tardy crystal]

Und das ist was mich sehr traurig macht @timid umbra

So^^

[timid umbra]

Ohhhhh okay danke

If you are unsure which channel is meant for which content, feel free to read #channel-directory

[gaunt bridge]

No, this is not a German community discussion. This is a server community discussion. It's a place for sharing your ideas and feedback on community-managed server projects/changes.

[plain stratus]

Can we have more #thing-of-the-day ? I really like it.

[flat estuary]

Done

[flat estuary]

I think a channel where non-native speakers can ask for explaination for German Memes would fit great in.

[nimble pebble]

Hey, it's great that you're contributing to it and please consider doing so in the future as well. However, what makes you think that the word you explained there is an actual thing?

[flat estuary]

I'd call it a German Insider and it was the first thing that slid into my mind.
I thought it would be funny to share this insider as my first contribution to the channel.
The use of it in schoolish context, is not commonplace but it's not too rare either.
And when I came across an article or two about this word (e.g: https://www.sprachnudel.de/woerterbuch/Turnbeutelvergesser) on the Internet, I thought I'd just go for it. Of course, in a way it is meant jokingly and in the future I will deal with contributions a little more seriously. I hope you can turn a blind eye to this one time.

[nimble pebble]

Alright
Apart from that I really didn't find anything at all and they don't list a source or tell what made them include that word. I don't find it on dwds or duden and also no real useage in any corpus at all, so maybe mention the source in it (you can use <> to hide the embed) which should happen anyways when something is fully taken away from somewhere else and mention that it's not really used to your knowledge as we don't wanna spread misinformation, then it's fine for now

That it's meant jokingly is not the issue. I do find it potentially funny as well, just not really 'existent enough' if that makes sense

[nimble pebble]

@flat estuary

[flat estuary]

Yes, indeed it does make sense.
Shall I delete the post or should I just somehow mark that it's neither a part of Hochdeutsch nor of Standard German :o?
It basically existent, it's just if at all only in the school in use, but I've asked around a bit and in NRW and border area of Niedersachen it was known. Can also be that it is simply a NRW thing, if so this is of course my mistake. As I said, it was meant as my first contribution rather jokingly and the following contributions will be more factual.

[nimble pebble]

Idk if a few people saying it exists really changes anything as long as no one says they seriously use it (prior to that question and it should also be found in real sentences / texts, not only one specific site that says that calls itself a dictionary. It's also relevant how you ask and how existence is defined first as obviously every native speaker is able to make compound words as that a general feature of the German language.

Also I wonder: did they say it exists? did they say they understand it? Did they say that it means 'Weichei'? (without that being suggested in the question)
Tbh I'd be surprised if it's yes to anything but the first question.

[nimble pebble]

Regarding how it should be changed:

In case you don't like that phrasing you can suggest an alternative one

[flat estuary]

That's the point why I'm surprised. The "Does it actually get user thint" got confirmed way more often than I thought. It not I wouldn't used that as an argument xd

[nimble pebble]

You can't confirm it like that cause you can'r just ask people that way or rather if it was used that there should be other ways to confirm it aside from people telling you thta they supposedly think it's used. In the whole server history I find exactly one useage of it that is not related to your entry in #thing-of-the-day. Outside of that I find that specific thing you linked and some site that decided to call an exercise that way.

Do you know the word Tohuwabohu?

I assume you don't, but look how many occurrences I find for that word and I assume you agree with that word barely being used and that most people will tell you that they've never heard it

Compared to that results for this are almost non-existent

And this should certainly be reflected in some way in your post in #thing-of-the-day

[jovial crypt]

How do I suggest Eduardo emoji

@nimble pebble

(I was told to ping you)

[nimble pebble]

No ping needed, but no worries. Just make clear that it's an emote suggestion and post it here. I don't think it adheres to our guidelines though as it's neither quadratic nor does it appeal to a large userbase

[jovial crypt]

Alr

[dusty oriole]

Hi server, can the Germans/people who reside in Germany tell me what they know about the University of Potsdam? How is its reputation and general standing in public opinion?

[chrome shadow]

#1033125270217048246

[dusty oriole]

Okay!

[lime nymph]

Can we create a Roll which has the title Community Volunteer/Helper, because the other people know then, that they are actively support other people in the german language. In speaking, writing or giving lessons on discord, to separate the Native helpers who are helping and natives which are hanging out in the discord.

Might be a good idea?

[low hare]

Feel free to suggest this in #suggestions

[dusty oriole]

I would like to propose three new emojis for the server.

They are made from SSIO, a famous german Hip Hop artist many have come to love and treasure. Therefore, to make expressing themselves even easier for the users while indulging in an detailed acquainted visual appearance.
The idea was funded by @soft kite and me. I edited and cut the pictures, from public advertising material and official music videos of the artist.

These are the three emojis:

[dusty oriole]

not sure if that background is transparent now or not, I can adjust as needed though.

[shadow zodiac]

Wo seid ihr

Seit langem habe ich euch nicht mehr gesehen

[nimble pebble]

Neither transparent nor quadratic

[dusty oriole]

@nimble pebble zweiter Anlauf, so sollte etwas besser schauen.👀 Also schau gern mal drüber, entschuldige noch mal die Verzögerung

[nimble pebble]

Alles quadratisch und transparent. Das ist gut! Aber der Rand ist etwas hässlich geworden. Siehst du das auch?

[dusty oriole]

Ja, weil das ein Foto auf der Bühne in Gegenlicht ist leider.. habe auch schon gedoktert und probiert, ist aber mistig freizustellen. ich könnte ihn nochmal richtig farbkorrigieren evtl Ja/Nein? Sag mal wie groß die Rolle ist, die das spielt (bei der Größe auch)👀

[nimble pebble]

Ah, verstehe. Ich weiß nicht, ob mans auf das Gegenlicht zurückführen kann, aber hab davon auch ehrlich gesagt nicht viel Plan. Ich hatte auch im Kopf, dass du die als Sticker wolltest. Da würd mans natürlich sehen. Als Emotes könnte es passen, aber ich probier da mal rum und tausch mich aus

Die Verzögerung ist übrigens kein Problem. Vor Sonntag ist das ja eh nicht so richtig relevant

Oh, ja alles klar. Super Sache, coolio!

Idk if there are any Munich people here

But if so or if you can reference to me

Google told me Munich is diverse and has a lot of black people along with Berlin

So i would like to know how accepting are the people there

I see videos of people living in Germany and this whole vid they said they get treated normally and no bad moments what so ever even for years of living but in other documentaries they say they have experience harsh racism

So i just want to know where I would most fit in or be alright besides Berlin haha

But that vid was 5 yrs ago with the bad stuff. I assume much has changed since

[alpine dock]

woher kommst du?

[vagrant ore]

In Germany there are some places where alot of people are againt diversity
but most of the german people are fine with diversity (or not against it)

[gaunt bridge]

@timid umbra @alpine dock @vagrant ore This is the wrong channel for that. Please make sure to use channels appropriately. For discussions about experiences with racism, #1025098221653073940 is most suitable. For questions about cities in Germany and what it's like to live there, #1033125270217048246 is most suitable.

@dusty oriole do you have any aliases (short names) for this FAQ you'd like to use?

"info" is one I can think of

[dusty oriole]

Yep I thought about that one too

[woeful light]

faq alias "Looking for information" info

[jovial zealot]

FAQ alias info corresponding to Looking for information successfully created.

[dusty oriole]

Maybe something along the lines of "right place to ask questions"

[woeful light]

Do you mean that as the title or as an alias? The reason I didn't use "questions" is because #1065443550004781067 is also mentioned, but I can add that as an alias.
Or just "questions" since being short is the purpose of an alias.

I can also make changes to the article if you have any feedback

[dusty oriole]

I meant the title but I suppose we can use it as an alias too (it's too long tho )
I've seen people ask about where they should ask a specific question and are a little confused and having all of the channels with the purpose of helping with answers could be beneficial

[dusty oriole]

Sure, can I have till tomorrow morning

[woeful light]

Yep, you can make suggestions any time.

[dusty oriole]

Danke danke

What should be the word count? Can I make it longer and add more details or is it preferred short

[fathom vector]

This sounds like you're dying. Harold nooooo.

[dusty oriole]

I am, I have a sore throat and fever

[fathom vector]

Since it's formatted as it is, I think the limit is 6k characters, but keep in mind that people are terrible and won't read anything, so generally, the shorter the better.

[woeful light]

Short is preferred because people might be deterred from an article that's too long

[fathom vector]

Oh no it's 4k.

[dusty oriole]

Got it

I'll try my best to give something tomorrow morning if I can come up with something good

[woeful light]

Also no why are you dying Harold noooo gute Besserung

[fathom vector]

Oh nooooo. Drug yourself with honey.

[dusty oriole]

The cheesecake gods found out that I rebelled against giving my daily cake taxes and have now eternally doomed me

[woeful light]

I realized I could also add #writing to the list

I had it in mind but forgot about it

remind 12h this

[jovial zealot]

Okay @woeful light. You will be reminded in 12 hours.

[dusty oriole]

I was thinking about the same thing

Should we also add #pronunciation , I've seen a few people ask how to pronounce words and sounds in #questions

[woeful light]

Hmmm, that's much rarer and I wouldn't want to add too much info to the article.
If it gets asked enough we could add it though. I'll have a look now at how often that gets asked.

[dusty oriole]

Got it

Do we have a FAQ revolving around the general channels (beginner German, German only, dialects, general, general 2)

[woeful light]

hmm, what should it be about?

One question that gets asked often is "Why is everyone speaking English here?", so I'll write an article about that as well.

[dusty oriole]

Some people ask if #general is somewhere they could speak German in or that if they could, and also why is no one speaking german

So they get directed to #german-only

[woeful light]

Okay yeah, that could be put in the same article

oop, meant to reply to you

[dusty oriole]

Maybe we can write a brief FAQ on where to speak what
(general is used to converse in both English and German)
(German only is a channel where only speaking German is encouraged )
(beginner German is a place where beginners practice. Speaking both English and German is allowed)

Hi hi, maybe try using >play "insert song name" in #botchannel

[woeful light]

Hmm, title, formatting and layout are up to change, but let's see

Language usage in the conversation channels

By default, only German and English are allowed on the server! If you want to speak another language, you can do so in #other-languages or #languages.
There are also other channels with their own rules and guidelines:

#general and #general-2 - both English and German are allowed here.
English is more commonly spoken there because it's easier for learners and because they might want to socialize in a low-stress environment, among other reasons.

#german-only - As the name suggests, only German is allowed here. Perfect for practicing and challenging yourself!

#beginner-german - This is a channel where beginners can practice and where everyone should try their best to keep their German beginner-friendly. English should be limited as much as possible and only used for explanations when German doesn't work out.

[dusty oriole]

I like it!

Maybe we should also try writing about other languages and languages

[woeful light]

ah yes

[dusty oriole]

I feel bad that I'm making you write everything I'm so sorry

[woeful light]

You are not "making" me do it.
In the end it's best for the server and for the people answering the questions if there is a quick way to access this information.

I think I'll make a separate FAQ for other languages

but then I'll have to rethink the name of the other FAQ article

since if it's the last point and you link it to someone speaking another language, they'll see a wall of irrelevant text and miss the important point. Or alternatively they could see that only German and English are allowed in #general.

🤔

[dusty oriole]

True, maybe something along the lines of "speaking german"?

[woeful light]

or I could add a comment at the top saying that German and English are the only allowed languages by default, with the other channels listed as exceptions

[dusty oriole]

That could also work

The thing is, we are writing the same things in #channel-directory

[woeful light]

Ja, but people don't read the channels when you tell them to and are like "uhhh I read it but I didn't see anything"

[dusty oriole]

Are there any faqs that I could help with? I can try to write some if you'd like

[woeful light]

Alternatively we could make #channel-directory or >purpose a bit more detailed

yeah, I think making some changes to >purpose will be better

[dusty oriole]

Yep, lack of details or clarification could also be the reason people ask about channels or just overall

[woeful light]

help purpose

[jovial zealot]

purpose

:small_blue_diamond: **purpose edit** <input> <content>

• other languages

and then see how the current >purpose channel info looks like

#general-2 so needs to be rewritten lmfao. Literally nobody uses it like that anymore.

[dusty oriole]

How about "general banter and conversations are preferred here, usage of both English and German is permitted. Feel free to refer to #info if you're unsure"
We could also add about keeping chat SFW and to also refer to rules

[fathom vector]

general banter and conversations are preferred here,
Why the "preferred"?

I don't know, I just added it

[woeful light]

Ok, I want to go now, but what do you think about this?
@fathom vector

it's pretty simple

[fathom vector]

+1. Maybe also explicitly forbid other languages in VC there? Idk if we want to include the "study group with only your friends" exception or not.

[woeful light]

I'd rather not.
It's not something I'd encourage, but I also don't see much reason in enforcing the rule.

Other languages
By default only German and English are allowed on the server, including in voice channels, unless specified otherwise!
If you want to speak other languages, you can use #other-languages or #languages.

[dusty oriole]

Very nice

[woeful light]

I also want to have a look at >purpose sometime

[fathom vector]

Ja, I don't know what exactly I don't like about it, but something like "This channel is mostly intended for general banter and conversations" feels more correct I guess. Since that's kinda the primary purpose.

[woeful light]

I also want to make an FAQ for "Why is everyone speaking English in #general" since that's a question that annoys me.
I'll write a draft and I'd like your feedback

[dusty oriole]

Now that I think about it, that sounds way better

[dusty oriole]

Maybe we can do a follow up with other main channels. People mostly ask why people are speaking in English and not German so we could fit both the German channels too

[fathom vector]

Lmaoooooo good question.

Q: Why is everyone speaking in #general
A: People can speak wherever tf they like.

[woeful light]

oh my god lmao

Also, explain this:

purpose #other-languages

[jovial zealot]

Information about other-languages

other-languages

For languages other than German or English. Turkish, Japanese and Swedish seem to be popular. Arrem can speak whatever he wants though.

[fathom vector]

It's sooooooo true.

That topic is literally like 5 years old lmfao.

[woeful light]

Now I know how we moderate the channel. 😍

[dusty oriole]

We should probably install every language in our brains to make moderating it easier

[fathom vector]

Bitte.

It would make my life so much easier. 😍

[woeful light]

Gute Idee. Then everyone will know German and we can delete the server.

[jaunty hamlet]

i mean its not that hard to few languages

but it should start from a very young age

its like a project

[dusty oriole]

But if we delete the server where will we make fun of ranch and annoy broob with

[fathom vector]

The French server. Because even after we install all langauges in everyone's brains, they're just gonna forget French in like a week anyway.

[jaunty hamlet]

i can agree on this

[dusty oriole]

Soooooo true

[jaunty hamlet]

i studied french for like 12 years i didnt do it for 1 year and now i cant talk well french

[dusty oriole]

This is why everyone should learn Italian instead

[woeful light]

Why is everyone speaking English in #general?
In short, because both English and German are allowed here, and because people might prefer speaking English for a variety of reasons.
If you want to stick to German, you can go to #german-only or #beginner-german instead.

@fathom vector sound of annoying

[dusty oriole]

What should its aliases be, speaking English in general?

[jaunty hamlet]

naah tbh if i had to choose back then i wouldve chosen chinese

[woeful light]

[chrome shadow]

maybe do Languages in #general or something like this and give it an alias I don't remember the rules off the top of my head but I think aliases are more generous regarding the character count

Maybe we can also add #writing as well as #pronunciation
So if there are any people who ask how a word is pronounced or the R they can go to the #pronunciation and if the members want to correct big paragraphs they would be able to know to put it in #writing and not #questions

Why shouldn't they? Currently the way #resources works is that you can freely use it to discuss or request resources.

I meant that sometimes people chat randomly in there but I might have gotten it mixed up with a different channel

@cosmic wigeon This is the dedicated channel for this stuff.

[woeful light]

Tried to make >faq faq less memey and more up-to-date

Q: What does FAQ mean?
A: Frequently Asked Questions.

Q: How does it relate to this server?
A: You can invoke answers to FAQs regarding German grammar or the geography and culture of German-speaking countries, as well other topics related to the server.

Q: How do I invoke these answers?
A: Type >faq <faq name> (additionally >ex or >explain instead of >faq).
Example: >faq beginner

Q: Where do I invoke the answers?
A: Please use #botchannel for the FAQs.

Q: I can’t find an answer to my question.
A: Use >faq <topic name> and the results will either show you related searches, or automatically add your questions to our suggestion list. Alternatively you can suggest an article in #community-discussion or write one yourself!

Q: I want to write an FAQ entry, how do I do it?
A: Try writing something in the same style as other FAQs and bring it up in #community-discussion.

Q: I found some mistakes/typos in an FAQ entry, where do I report them?
A: You can bring them up in #community-discussion.

Q: I don’t understand some parts of an FAQ entry.
A: If it's German-related you can ask in #942470380692590632 and if it's server-related you can ask in #community-discussion.

[woeful light]

@fathom vector @gaunt bridge

[fathom vector]

Going by the bot's conventions, it should be >faq <faq name> since it's a required parameter and not optional. Though I don't care much, it's not super consistent and I'm the only one who knows that convention anyway. But what I would like is a small example, since no matter what you write, you get people writing >faq [beginner].

(additionally >ex or >explain instead of >faq)
``

A: You can bring them up in ⁠community-discussion
Period at the end bitte for consistency.

[cosmic wigeon]

Oh okay

[gaunt bridge]

But how will people know to ping Pferd?

[woeful light]

Very good point

faq pferd

[jovial zealot]

FAQ not found. Try >explain all.

[woeful light]

[gaunt bridge]

FAQs regarding German grammar or the geography and culture of German-speaking countries, as well other topics related to the server.
I don't really get the geography part. Can we do this instead?
"FAQs regarding German grammar, vocabulary, the culture of German-speaking countries, and some topics specifically related to this server."

invoke
I think instead of invoke we should simplify it to "how do I use this command?" or something. For the second question: "You can use a command to read FAQs and their answers regarding ..."

Maybe for the last question add that people are also welcome to use #report-issue .

[woeful light]

Ja, I didn't make big changes, just removed some stuff that seemed irrelevant or not up-to-date.
I will add those.

no, Bulli should be pinged so he can read you a bedtime story instead

[gaunt bridge]

Looks good. Maybe change the last line to "You are also welcome to use #report-issue to contact mods privately."

Just sounds a bit more complete.

[woeful light]

Yeah, I thought about adding something as well

Field 1 on page 1 (**Q:** What does ...) is too long: 1625/1024 characters

[woeful light]

Did I really make it that much longer?

[whole temple]

hi, I am not really sure where to put this question but I am not allowed to make posts on the 'find study partners' thing. There's nothing really explaining why? this isn't super important I'm just a little confused:)

[gaunt bridge]

Hi, sorry about that, but we have turned off the permissions for people to make their own post in #1065443550004781067 , after feedback from the community. The current threads should cover pretty much all needs that people have, but if you think something isn't covered, please feel free to suggest another thread that we should add.

[whole temple]

Ahhh right! Ok, thanks for clearing that up:)

[ruby moth]

add these things

[woeful light]

Well, we can't add them that way. You'll have to submit images that we can put up for voting. The pinned messages in #archived-emote-suggestions explain how that works and which guidelines you should follow.

[gentle venture]

Hello! I'm an A1 German learner who wants to practice saying "Woher kommst du?" to someone on a vc with responce. DM me if interested in helping!

Also may be wrong channel

sorry

[gaunt bridge]

@gentle venture Yep, it's the wrong channel.

[gentle venture]

Which channel?

Also my apologies

[gaunt bridge]

#general or #general-2 are best for spontaneously inviting people to VC with you. If you want to arrange something a bit more planned, try making a study group with #1103951772281741322 .

[gentle venture]

Kk, thanks!!

[hearty canyon]

I have a small suggestion, maybe when directing people to where they can get their A B or C role, maybe somehow send them directly to the Customize page? Cause right now the path is #get-roles > Browse Channels and then selecting Customize at the top and then scrolling down. I think this could be confusing for some people but I also realize that people could just read and scroll and figure it out

Idk just had the idea in my head

Oh wait nvm

[gaunt bridge]

Directing people where?

[hearty canyon]

I see the customize role thing at the top of the channel list

Nvm I was just thinking of a way to link people directly to the role selection feature

But now I see the channels and roles and that takes you there directly

[gaunt bridge]

Yeah. I don't know if there's a way to link to that directly.

[hearty canyon]

Yeah I'm realizing that now too lol

No like copy link or channel name to copy

[gaunt bridge]

@hearty canyon Don't forget though that if you want to make suggestions to the mod team, you generally should use #suggestions . This channel is rather for either feedback, community project ideas, or suggestions not directed at mods.

[hearty canyon]

Oh whoopsies

I'll make sure I do that from now on, thanks!

[trim lantern]

Can the study task be about any place or just a specific place?

[gaunt bridge]

Are you asking about the task posted by @lime nymph ?

[lime nymph]

It can be about any place where do you have much information about it.

[lime nymph]

yes he was asking about.

[vagrant python]

Ich glaube, ich wurde nur einmal deswegen gepongt und zwar von leer

[woeful light]

Stimmt. Ich fand es tatsächlich überraschend, dass ich der erste war, obwohl der Artikel schon seit Jahren da ist.
Die Mitglieder dieses Server enttäuschen mich immer nie.

[median spear]

Hey

help me

Das Gewicht dieser Argumente bedeutet englisch

das bedeutet: positiv Argument?

Ich kann nicht verstehen:'' Die Argumente dafur haben mehr Gewicht?'' bedeutet was?

is idiom?

[dusty oriole]

hey hey, maybe try checking out #942470380692590632 or #questions and ask there, since that's the appropriate channel suited for your question I'm sure someone would be able to help you out and you'll find it easier to have better replies that way since there's a chance of you going unanswered here. Happy learning!

[covert sierra]

Hi

[round lava]

hi anyone want to practice speaking english

[past agate]

Gooooood evening, here are some HD-emojis to replace stuff like and some new ideas:

[clever sleet]

[chrome shadow]

We appreciate your enthusiasm, but I'm afraid that's a bit too much
You can pick up to two of them for the vote

[past agate]

Those are just suggestions :D

I'd love to see an updated and a OmegaKEKW emoji

[woeful light]

Which one specifically is "OmegaKEKW"?

[past agate]

This one :)

[woeful light]

I can't see any image. Can you reupload it?

[clever sleet]

[clever sleet]

thanks li

[woeful light]

[clever sleet]

[clever sleet]

idk...i sent this using copy link

maybe due to that

[ruby moth]

When will the vote begin?

[dusty oriole]

hey guys, is there anyone here who wants to study a masters degree in Germany in the future?

[nimble pebble]

Sunday. You can also pick up to two of them that you want the most and suggest other ones another time maybe

[warm seal]

[nimble pebble]

[warm seal]

Thanks Bulli my beloved, and I thought you forgot. How dare me

[nimble pebble]

Yeah, when have I ever forgotten anything?

[warm seal]

I forgot if you ever forgot anything, you won't know the feeling, sorry for being trash.

[tropic nebula]

[gusty shadow]

Guten abend

[nimble pebble]

Is this an emote suggestion?

[tropic nebula]

perhaps

[nimble pebble]

perhaps I see 👀

I will perhaps put it in #archived-emote-suggestions then or perhaps just leave it

[tropic nebula]

depends on the context

if you think its good then it is a suggestion

if not then i just felt like it

[quick ermine]

hello everyone
to give context i mainly listen to groups like starsets, architect, solence, fire from the gods, nothing more
and i'm looking for similar groups that sing in german
i know rammstein, eisbrecher and oomph
but i'm looking for other gorup to learn more german music

do you have any recommandation ?

[nimble pebble]

I updated the , since I agree that the quality was a bit lacking

[past agate]

Great, thank you!

[nimble pebble]

Np, thanks for suggesting it~

[dusty oriole]

anyone knows what subjects i need for medicine in germany as an IGCSE candidate? thanks in advance

[past agate]

This is not the appropiate place, please use #questions :)

I sadly do not know that

[fathom vector]

Wow. For years I've intentionally kept that emoji in with the shitty quality because it was the oldest emoji on the server, and Bulli just yeets it without asking anyone.

RIP original :kappa:, 2016-2023, wtf. #general message

[nimble pebble]

Whoops

[hearty canyon]

Could we add this as an emoji if there's enough space?

[gilded violet]

Guys can someone help me please

[little shoal]

With what?

[little shoal]

Okay we deffo need a 2nd #german-only channel

For the 3rd consecutive evening it's absolutely stacked there and the chat is way too fast

@tired pagoda ge?

[tired pagoda]

Seems legit

Was really flooded today, seemed more like #general than #general itself.

And I mean, since we've got general and general-2, why not have german-only and german-only-2?

[gaunt bridge]

@little shoal Suggestions to the mod team go in #suggestions

#community-discussion is only for suggestions that are for the community to consider, like lesson/FAQ ideas.

[little shoal]

hmm

Understood

[woeful light]

So much for communication within the team.

[hardy torrent]

Hey

[inland wind]

emote suggestions

[hollow cedar]

this as sticker or emoji

[inland wind]

but we already have

[hollow cedar]

Idk the logo is kinda better

[hearty canyon]

Yeah I agree

[dusty oriole]

ello ello, im sorry for bothering but the last questionnaire in >faq cefr isn't sort of working and redirects to a french page learning thing

[gaunt bridge]

Thanks for letting us know. I'll take a look later.

[dusty oriole]

no problemo

[strange wind]

Hello my friends, I hope this is the right place to post an emote suggestion for the server?

[woeful light]

Thanks for the reminder, I didn't even realize I was thirsty.

[long lotus]

Hey everyone
I just started my german learning course a few days ago.
And I missed a few beginning lessons. So could any of you host a lesson for numbers in german? Please

[gaunt bridge]

What about numbers exactly? It's fine to suggest lesson ideas here, of course, but I feel like for the topic of numbers, there could already be some YouTube videos that suit what you're looking for. Maybe try asking in #resources for some recommendations?

[frigid needle]

Is there anyone currently in Germany playing football at any level who can give me an idea regarding the sport culture in germany. I will be coming to germany soon and am willing to join 6th tier clubs or above through trial.

wait, am I supposed to ping Bulli

[lofty trail]

No, idea. Let me do it. @nimble pebble We love you.

[nimble pebble]

Not really. Just make it obvious, so that I'll find it when I skim through this channel
It's fine though

[winged anchor]

wait, this is gonna look so bad with light mode

[fathom vector]

Ah yes the "I don't know how to download an emoji so I took a screenshot" submission.
