Yo, nur zu <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Denn, das ist richtig <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> Nur durch üben lernt man. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Write like you will. It's normal that You cannot write correct at beginn.

Look at my English <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />

Sternenschweif

DEATH, I'd never laugh - this German language is for crying out loud - not laughing <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> - go ahead, I'm looking forward to it.

DEATH, ich wuerde nicht lachen - diese deutsche Sprache ist zum Aufschreien - nicht zum Lachen - gehe voran, ich bin darauf gespannt.
Kiya

Und du darfst "du" zu mir sagen <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Well, I told you I take german as my 3rd language at school.
Took it for a year but the athmosphere is horrible.
Maybe I should go and buy a german dictionary to read?

Ah ja, ihr koent das (site)?
www.nichtlustig.de
I simply love it and visit it often since someone showed it to me a year ago.

Its not needful, look at http://dict.tu-chemnitz.de/ . It's a good dictionary. And when you can understand what i'm writing, we can understand when you are writing german. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

"Needful" ? Do you mean "Neccessary" ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Your nearly got it.

Better: Ah ja, kennt ihr das?

Know = wissen, kennen, erkennen, erfahren (?)

I'd say, like Ali G:



Sternenschweif

Death, do you want us to correct you? Oder lieber nicht?
Ah ja, ihr koent das (site)? -> Ah ja, kennt ihr die Seite?

The third language is always most difficult to learn, because your head is already filled. I just have to look at my French (after English and Latin).

Edit: Sternenschweif was faster than me.

Umm <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
I'll learn it never....


so far my dictionary..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Hmmm ... I didn't know the *actually* is a word called "needful" ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Yes, I want you to correct me, otherwise I wounldn't post here <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Well, german will be my 5th language...

Very well. Then you will sometimes change your name.

Death at the Door = Tod an der Tür

Or not <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Sternenschweif

Barnie, "needful" is more in the sense of "nuetzlich".
Necessary = noetig, notwendig
Kiya

Good idea, we'll open a multilingual class here - open for both sides.
Gute Idee, wir werden eine multilinguale (mehrsprachige) Klasse eroeffnen - offen fuer beide Seiten

Kiya <kissing her - the potato and eating it - the girl > <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />
Kiya <die Kartoffel kuessend und das Maedchen essend> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Kiya is verrueckt (UE is U-umlaut, no?) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Kiya, Ich


how you say thanks??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />


Ich thanks

how do you say you? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />


Ich thanks you for having it in both languages, way easier.

gute is good? or guten for morgen and nact??


correct me too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />

Funny, and we know what ya meen <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

This sentence value:

Kiya = Kiya <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
is = known in the German colloquial language; better: ist
verrueckt = it's right <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

You Don't have Ä,Ö and Ü use AE,OE and UE.

You know the sentence:
Der Tod ist ein General aus Deutschland?

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />
Sternenschweif

I'm not Kiya, of course. But maybe this is helpfull:

Kiya, ich danke Dir

good = gut

good morning = guten Morgen

good Evening = gute Nacht

You can use Smilies, as You wish <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Sternenschweif

Here some Smilies and what they mean.

For the guten Morgen:






For the gute Nacht:





<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sleepey.gif" alt="" />

Under construction, please wait

oh boy,

gone for three days & man, it's almost the whole world has past me by leaving me choking in the dust.

great to see sternenschweif(with kiya's heavenly help) has managed to put up this thread with great success. gut zusehen sternenschweif(mit kiya helfen) konnen zu aufstellen das 'thread' einen grossen triumph feiern.

ok, go ahead & laugh at me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />

words can be memorised & learnt but not the grammar. maybe i should learn spoken german before attempting written german.

I thank you = [color:"yellow"]Ich danke dir[/color] (I thank to you = I know this is very bad English, but shows the direction better, possessive pronoun IIRC)
but you can say: [color:"yellow"]Danke[/color] (shorter and easier to keep in mind)

Ich thank you for having it in both languages, way easier
[color:"yellow"]Ich danke dir, es in beiden Sprachen zu haben, viel einfacher [/color](yes, I know, this is unelegant German, but I try to stick to the words. Better would be to use "make/making" instead of "having" ->
Ich danke dir, es in beiden Sprachen zu machen, viel einfacher

Kiya, nutty German squirrel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />
(Fuer die Deutschen: Nutty/nuts = verrueckt)
Explanation for the Germans = nutty/nuts = crazy
