Wie viele Tagen gehen sie auf Ürlaub?

how many days are you going on vacation?

Voynich · 05-25-2005, 12:08 PM

Isn't it "Ich gehe im Ürlaub" ?

*my german is a bit messed up...but "auf" didn't sound right*

I know...that wasn't the point silly. I was talking about the "" auf" vs. "im" ...

*sigh*

Procyon · 05-25-2005, 06:29 PM

Thanks G7! I was hoping you'd do this. Wanna tell us some basic things like Hello? Or maybe explain some differences in the alphabet compared to English?

sorry overlooked that

Dreams · 05-29-2005, 07:55 AM

for differences in alphabet:
a is pronounced like in fall, its not exactly like this, but i cannot find sth other, so
e is pronounced like in elephant (or sth like that)
i is like the english e (like in wind ...)
well, thats it.

oh, and this question "how many days are you going on vacation?"
you would maybe say "Wie viele Tage bist du im Urlaub?"

Kiba-kun · 05-29-2005, 08:20 AM

I'd be glad to help here; English is my first language but my German is pretty solid.

Someone asked about basic words:
Guten Tag = Good day/hello; basic greeting
Hallo = obvious

more casual than above
Auf Wiedersehen = Goodbye
Tschus = casual goodbye (stupid english keyboard can't type umlauts >.<)

Ich habe nachstes Woche meine Kontrolle auf Deutsch >.< Ich muss uben! Ich lerne seit 5 Jahre Deutsch und ich bin ein bisschen gut, obwohl ich Angst habe...Hilfe mich! Ist alles ich schriebe gut? Ach, jetzt brauche ich Mathe uben. Wunderbar. Ich hasse die Kontrolles.....tschus....

Phosphorus · 05-30-2005, 02:18 PM

Ooo. German. I could help a bit. I've been writing stuff from my German I book to use to study over the summer for Honors German II. Three days I've been writing, and I'm not even close to being done! I'll either scan it, or type it. It'll probably help.

:

Dreams · 05-31-2005, 12:42 PM

your german is really good, kiba kun. but i guess you wouldnt say kontrolle. just test or arbeit or klausur or sth like that is fine. oh, and you´d say "helft mir" or "hilf mir". "mich" isnt the right kasus for this. umm, well, in english you say "i need to study ... now", but in german you dont say "ich brauche üben". youd rather say "ich muss üben" or "ich sollte üben". but german is much more difficult than english, so i think your german is really great.
ps: ive been learning english for five years now and i know i make a lot of mistakes, so dont mind telling me when i do sth wrong.

Oh, I could help with that! As far as my knowledge goes, this is how it would be typed:

Your German is really good, Kiba-kun, but I guess you wouldn't say, 'kontrolle'. Just 'test', 'arbeit', 'klausur' or something like that is fine. Oh, you'd say 'helft mir' or 'hild mir'. 'Mich' isn't the right (....?) for this. Umm, well, in English you say, "I need to study...now," but in German you don't say, 'Ich brauche üben." You'd rather say, "Ich muss üben," or "Ich sollte üben." German is much more difficult than English, so I think your German is really great.
PS: I've been learning English for five years now and I know I make a lot of mistakes, so don't mind telling me when I do something wrong.

I must disagree with the 'German is harder than English' bit, most Americans can't even speak nor use proper English. XD;

Phosphorus · 06-02-2005, 06:20 PM

Well, I started typing everything I wrote down... It's going to take a while. Mind you this is all from my German I book, 'Komm mit!', so not everything is literal. Sorry for the bad layout. It looks nicer on Word. =P

Kapitel 1-2 German I:

Dreams · 06-03-2005, 07:10 AM

hk. thanx. i never write big letters or sth like that when i post at the internet. you must have had really much to do if you had to type in all those things. its really good! only one thing. whats "grüb dich"? im german and ive never heard that before. neither have my friends. the german translation for "hi" is just "hi". we dont have a german word for that. grüb dich sounds like an austrian word. but ya list is cool!!!

Phosphorus · 06-03-2005, 08:27 PM

Oops... That's suppose to be 'grüß dich'. It's from my German I book, so if you still haven't heard of it then I have no idea. XD; Many of the translations in my book aren't literal; if possible, I put in the literal translation.
But yes, I do have a lot of time on my hands. Today was the last day of school and I've gotten my own computer. I spent hours upon hours last weekend writing all of the information from my German book. Now I get to spend hours upon hours typing it all.

So, Dreams, what is it like in Germany? Isn't Germany noted for making good quality instruments? Violins atleast. I want to get a Gemeinhardt Flute and Piccolo. Lovely little woodwinds they are.

semperfi · 06-04-2005, 07:10 AM

hallo wie gehtst?????

Dreams · 06-04-2005, 04:47 PM

well, i dont know much about german instruments, but we make a lot of good cars :D

umm, i know "grüß dich", but i usually dont use it. you can just say "hi". thats enough.
i guess it would be useless to show you some of our grammar and stuff, cause nobody in germany knows about it either. it keeps gettin changed, so dont bother learning it :D
there was a grammar reform a few years ago, and now they plan on changing it again this year. its horrible! so i post some phrases and words here:

sonne sun
himmel sky
vögel birds
erde earth
welt world
ich mag dich i like you
ich liebe dich i love you
was machst du gerade? what are you doing right now?

and for the konjugation of the verbs:
example: spielen to play
ich spiele i play
du spielst you play
er/sie/es spielt he/she/it plays
wir spielen we play
ihr spielt you play
sie spielen they play

well, its rather difficult cause not all verbs are konjugated like this, but basically thats the scheme

Phosphorus · 06-04-2005, 10:14 PM

Oh yes, conjugation of German verbs is ever so fun. Frau Summa taught us "Ichy-dust-t-en-t-en" Which basically goes:

Ich -e
Du -st
er/sie/es -t
wir -en
ihr -t
Sie -en

Ah, grammar is just SO much fun. Must really suck for you since it keeps on changing.
Hm. What are the German words for Moon, Shadow, and Wolf?

~Akuma · 06-07-2005, 08:36 AM

I speak perfectly german :D

you guys should heard swissgerman, its really dirty :D
