Wenn ich war eine Junge meine Grosseltern hat zu mir Deutsche gesprachen aber meine Eltern hat zu mir English gespracht.

The combination was extremely poorly grafted sentences in german and an ability to understand people speaking to me but not understanding how to respond or write well due to limited vocabulary.

wolfmat so the time aspect i think is what made me do triple takes; i was doing lots of reading in between coming back to gaf and my general understanding now is that it's sort of analogous to 'soon' or 'soon but not this very second' as sofort wäre?

From the point in time the particular sentence references, "sofort" is just about to happen, like in the next moments. "Gleich" is a little later. Then comes "bald", I think. Sooner or later, you're bound to end up at "irgendwann"

i'm sorry, but no swiss person says "nee". never. ever.

Nei is common around Basel to my ears, ie Nein with the trailing 'n' chopped off. It's usually quite emphatic though.

 

[Kjellson]

"Du bist ein Gott."

Grammatically correct?

yeah. "nei" (pronounced like "nye") is the regular form of "nein" or "no" in swiss german. we don't say "nein" here at all usually (or "nee" for that matter). the one other thing you probably hear a lot here is "näh-äh" (closer to the english "nuh-uh").

can you suggest some fun stuff to do in basel? we're going there over the weekend next week and have a few things planned (the herbstmesse and the basel ancient art fair) but i'd love to hear some suggestions from someone who lives there. i'm ashamed to admit: 4 years in CH and i've never been!

 

[Kjellson]

yes

Thanks!

Ich denke meine Deutsche wird gans mal besser seid wenn ich nach Deutschland gehen.

I need to speak it much more commonly to get better at it, I screw up tense all the time too.

Hmm, Herbstmesse would have been my first suggestion.

http://www.basel.ch/leben/herbstmesse_2011.htm

Basel has some very nice museums, but those are generally better visited on Museumsnacht.

http://www.museumsnacht.ch/

Other than that, the Beyeler exhibition is host to some fascinating stuff at times, there's currently a Surrealism exhibition on. Just over the border in Weil Am Rhein is the Vitra design museum, but maybe not so fun if you're not a design freak.

This weekend sees the Shift festival, so if electronic music is your thing you're well covered.

http://www.shiftfestival.ch/en/shift-2011/home-news/

Just outside of Basel is what I think is Switzerland's second largest shopping mall, Stuecki. However, if you've been to Sihlcity I wouldn't bother.

To be honest, there isn't a lot touristy here IMO. It's a working city for Pharma and to a lesser extent Banking and if you're not really into seeing the BIS/Roche/Novartis HQ there's not much.

I'll ask my native coworkers tomorrow and let you know if they have anything unique to contribute.

Ich denke meine Deutsche wird gans mal besser seid wenn ich nach Deutschland gehen.

I need to speak it much more commonly to get better at it, I screw up tense all the time too.

Tenses for the verbs? That is easy. The hardest thing is remembering how they conjugate but once you remember most of the irregular it's not too bad. Anything in particular you have problems with with the tenses.

Your sentence wasn't bad at all I would probably change it to:

Ich denke dass mein Deutsch wird ganz mal besser sein wenn ich nach Deutschland gehe.

I think you need dass or some other connecting word otherwise it sounds a little funny to me. Deutsch and most if not all the words for languages (Ex. Deutsch, English, Ungarisch, etc.) I can think of are neutered so in your it would just be mein Deutsch. Ganz just has an z instead of an s. I'm not sure if "ganz mal" is a typical way to say something like that, I would probably just say viel besser instead but I don't know if ganz mal is technically wrong or not. It's sein not seid because you only conjugate one verb in a sentence so it would be the infinitive "sein" and you remembered that when you use wenn that the verb goes to the end which I forget a lot myself you just forgot to leave it conjugated.

You type really good, I know grammar is really important and you have to learn it at some point if you want to speak more fluently but they pound into your head so much I almost feel it's better to learn a broader vocabulary and obviously learning the grammar but focusing more on know keywords and what they mean. It's frustrating when I just literally don't know a word for something when I'm talking to someone. You should keep learning though and everyone in here is more than willing to help if you have an questions!

That's like right by the border for southern Germany isn't it? Or am I thinking of somewhere else?

 

[Shanadeus]

It's interesting to see how much people who speak a related language can understand german.

 

[wolfmat]

Ich denke dass mein Deutsch wird ganz mal besser sein wenn ich nach Deutschland gehe.

Ich glaube, dass mein Deutsch besser wird, wenn ich nach Deutschland gehe.

Trying to incorporate "denke" and "mal" for fun and profit. You'd actually use "sich verbessern" for languages in this case. Also, this is probably a case where you'd rather use "sehr" instead of "ganz viel". "Ganz viel" isn't always proper German:
Ich denke mal, dass sich mein Deutsch sehr verbessern wird, wenn ich nach Deutschland gehe.

But then, ten years later, the horrible realization:
Ich dachte mal, dass sich mein Deutsch sehr verbessern würde, wenn ich nach Deutschland ginge.
This changes the meaning of "mal". trollface.png

Edit: Also, this doesn't make much sense if you think about it:
Ich glaube, dass mein Deutsch besser wird, wenn ich nach Deutschland gehe.
Your German doesn't magically improve instantly once you set foot on German soil (or, even worse, on the way to Germany, which this sentence expresses if you take it literally). You'd have to polish it over the years:
Ich bin fest davon überzeugt, dass sich mein Deutsch mit der Zeit graduell verbessert haben wird, wenn ich erst einmal einige Jahre in Deutschland verbracht und mit Muttersprachlern täglichen Umgang gepflegt haben werde.

Bah, how did I not notice it would be wird instead of sein? I guess that's what I get for trying to correct it at 4 in the morning. Ya, maybe it doesn't make perfect sense. Maybe instead of going to Deutschland you would use study in Deutschland or live in Deutschland but it's not particularly bad english wise. At least for english it's with the implication of using German so naturally it would get better since you would be speaking english instead of german.

habe ich gestern Maultaschen kennen gelernt......ich verlobe mich darin. soooooo gut. aß schon 5, will 5 mehr.

so habe ich fragen!

can you guys confirm these phrases? ;

gemäß - in accordance with. z.B ist das gemäß mit den Regeln?

ansosten - other than that, apart from that. like; ansosten ist alles klar


sooft / irgendwann = which one?? sooft/rgendwann du frei bist, komm doch mal!

gleichzeitig / zeitgleich - simultaneous. which one? sie schlagten sich zeitgleich

zur Kenntnis nehmen - take not of. nimmt zur Kenntnis von seinem Verhalten, er konnte gefährlich sein.

ich micht mich wegen meines blödsinns lächerlich - i made a fool of myself became of my stupidity

mahnen wegen - remind about. - mahn mal mich(mir?) wegen des Termines, damit ich ihn nicht vergessen würde.



i'd appreciate it big time if i could get at least a few of these confirmed or denied, people i could talk to can't speak english well enough to know what i'm trying to ask :'(

 

[SuperÑ]

Hallo wie geht es inhen.

Fernseher, Feurman, Kartofeln

 

[snap0212]

gemäß - in accordance with. z.B ist das gemäß mit den Regeln?

You'd say "gemäß den Regeln" or "gemäß der Regeln".

ansosten - other than that, apart from that. like; ansosten ist alles klar

Yes.

sooft / irgendwann = which one?? sooft/rgendwann du frei bist, komm doch mal!

Neither. You'd say "sofern du frei bist, komm doch mal!". Sofern = in case. [you could also use the words "wenn" (in case) or "falls" (in case)]

gleichzeitig / zeitgleich - simultaneous. which one? sie schlagten sich zeitgleich

They hit each other at the same time? You could use both (gleichzeitig/zeitgleich) in this case and pretty much any other case as well. I can't think of a sentence where only one would make sense. The past tense of "sie schlagen" ist "sie schlugen", though.

zur Kenntnis nehmen - take not of. nimmt zur Kenntnis von seinem Verhalten, er konnte gefährlich sein.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. [You] take note of the fact that he might be dangerous? There are various ways to say that in German. You'd probably say something along the lines of "Aus seinem Verhalten schloss er[past tense] / schließt er [present tense], dass er gefährlich sein könnte". "Schloss er" is used instead of "zur Kenntnis nehmen" in this case. You could use various forms of "Kenntnis" here too. For example: "An seinem Verhalten erkannte (instead of Kenntnis) er, dass er gefährlich sein könnte."

ich micht mich wegen meines blödsinns lächerlich - i made a fool of myself became of my stupidity

You wouldn't mentioned that something is because of your stupidity. There are various forms of "I made a fool of myself". For example: "Ich habe mich zum Affen gemacht". (Something along the lines of "I acted like an ape").

mahnen wegen - remind about. - mahn mal mich(mir?) wegen des Termines, damit ich ihn nicht vergessen würde.

You wouldn't use "mahnen" in this case. Mahnen is only used when you're reminded of something you shouldn't have forgotten. For example: When you don't pay your bills you'll get something called "Mahnung" (look up 'ermahnen'). It basically means you screwed up something.
You can simply use the translation of "remind" (=erinnere). Errinnere mich an meinen Termin, damit ich ihn nicht vergesse".

I'm not sure if that was what you were looking for, though.

sooft / irgendwann = which one?? sooft/rgendwann du frei bist, komm doch mal! Wenn du frei bist, komm doch mal!

gleichzeitig / zeitgleich - simultaneous. which one? sie schlagten sich zeitgleich I'd rather use gleichzeitig but I think both work

zur Kenntnis nehmen - take not of. nimmt zur Kenntnis von seinem Verhalten, er konnte gefährlich sein.

ich micht mich wegen meines blödsinns lächerlich - i made a fool of myself became of my stupidity

mahnen wegen - remind about. - mahn mal mich(mir?) wegen des Termines, damit ich ihn nicht vergessen würde. Here you would use erinnern: Erinnere mich mal an den Termin,...



i'd appreciate it big time if i could get at least a few of these confirmed or denied, people i could talk to can't speak english well enough to know what i'm trying to ask :'(

Hope that helps a bit.

 

[maeh2k]

gemäß - in accordance with. z.B ist das gemäß mit den Regeln?

-> 'ist das gemäß der Regeln?' oder 'ist das den Regeln gemäß?'

ansosten - other than that, apart from that. like; ansosten ist alles klar

ja, das stimmt so.

sooft / irgendwann = which one?? sooft/rgendwann du frei bist, komm doch mal!

-> 'wenn du irgendwann mal frei bist, komm doch mal!'
-> 'wenn du frei bist, komm vorbei sooft du willst'

(Anm. ich hab jetzt mal 'frei sein' gelassen. Ich bin gerade nich so sicher ob man das so sagt. ich würde eher zu 'wenn du mal Zeit hast' tendieren... )


sooft bezieht sich auf mehrere Male, wogegen irgendwann sich nur auf ein Mal bezieht.
sooft ~ whenever, irgendwann ~ sometime

gleichzeitig / zeitgleich - simultaneous. which one? sie schlagten sich zeitgleich

Die Vergangenheit von 'schlagen' ist hier 'schlugen'. Im Gesprochenen würde man eher sagen 'sie haben sich geschlagen'


hier hab ich eine Diskussion zu simultaneous gefunden dict.leo.org

wie es aussieht kann man theoretisch beide Worte synomym verwenden, aber eigentlich gäbe es einen Unterschied.

Nimm einfach immer gleichzeitig

zur Kenntnis nehmen - take not of. nimmt zur Kenntnis von seinem Verhalten, er konnte gefährlich sein.

die Übersetzung stimmt, aber der Satz ist nicht ideal.

'Sie hat sein Verhalten zur Kenntnis genommen.'
'Sie hat zur Kenntnis genommen, dass er gefährlich sein könnte.'

ich micht mich wegen meines blödsinns lächerlich - i made a fool of myself became of my stupidity

Ich habe mich wegen meiner Dummheit lächerlich gemacht.

Blödsinn ~ nonsense != stupidity.

mahnen wegen - remind about. - mahn mal mich(mir?) wegen des Termines, damit ich ihn nicht vergessen würde.

nein. remind so. ~ jemanden erinnern

'Erinnere mich an den Termin, damit ich ihn nicht vergesse.'


mahnen ~ to warn/admonish/urge.

If you don't pay a bill in time you might get a 'Mahnung' (as in a letter telling you to pay).

'jemanden davor mahnen etwas zu tun' -> warning
'jemanden zu etwas mahnen' -> urge

I'd say that's not a common word. It's good to understand it, but you probably won't have to use. Honestly, I don't think I ever have ^^

Looking at dict.leo.org German might be a bitch to learn... mahnen, ermahnen, abmahnen ^^

 

[Alpha-Bromega]

woah you guys came out in force, awesome. thank you SO much.

it's really hard to find people who are fluent in english, so it's hard to have parlay about the more complex aspects of english that i want to express in german.



here's another one;
im Laufe +gen - in course of
im Laufe drei monaten, habe ich viel gelernt.

längst nicht - nowhere near

er ist längst nicht so machtlich wie ich. - he is nowhere near as strong as me.
or is this one to do with spatial things only?

also;

nebenbei or zusätzlich or außerdem? all sources simply say "in addition"

neuerdings - just recently, or vor kurzem - shortly ago? is there any difference?

ringsherum - all around. so like, ich sah mich ringsherum um, aber nie ihn sah! or can it also be used like "he's an all around good fella"

reichtzeitig - in time. does this mean: sei mal für Klasse reichtzeitig! can it also mean: die Leistung wird doch reichtzeitig kommen- The solution will come in time (so don't worry!)


German doesn't suck so bad to learn, it's just a matter of taking the time. Plus it makes languages like Spanish sooooooo much easier in comparison, hell, some even say German grammar is harder than Arabic. i'd probably agree if i knew. It's harder than Latin

 

[dondarm]

im Laufe von drei monaten, habe ich viel gelernt.

Small fix here. Also: stealth bragging?

 

[snap0212]

here's another one;
im Laufe +gen - in course of
im Laufe drei monaten, habe ich viel gelernt.

Im Laufe von drei Monaten habe ich viel gelernt.

längst nicht - nowhere near

er ist längst nicht so machtlich wie ich. - he is nowhere near as strong as me.
or is this one to do with spatial things only?

You could say "Er ist längst nicht so stark wie ich."

nebenbei or zusätzlich or außerdem? all sources simply say "in addition"

Nebenbei is mostly used to express that you're doing something (else) at the same time. Example: Ich mache Hausaufgaben und esse nebenbei. You express that you do something but that you don't give it all of your attention. In this case most of your attention goes to doing your homework but you have some left to eat...

Außerdem & zusätzlich would be "in addition".

neuerdings - just recently, or vor kurzem - shortly ago? is there any difference?

No difference.

ringsherum - all around. so like, ich sah mich ringsherum um, aber nie ihn sah! or can it also be used like "he's an all around good fella"

You wouldn't say "ringsherum". You'd use a shortened version "ringsum".

reichtzeitig - in time. does this mean: sei mal für Klasse reichtzeitig! can it also mean: die Leistung wird doch reichtzeitig kommen- The solution will come in time (so don't worry!)

Yes.

Hope I could help.

 

[maeh2k]

im Laufe +gen - in course of
im Laufe drei monaten, habe ich viel gelernt.

dondarm hat Recht. Da gehört noch das 'von' rein.

Laufe ist nicht falsch, aber bei einigen solcher Ausdrücke kann man das 'e' hinten weglassen. Ich bevorzuge eher "im Lauf von"

längst nicht - nowhere near

er ist längst nicht so machtlich wie ich. - he is nowhere near as strong as me.
or is this one to do with spatial things only?

that works. (there's also a synomym "bei weitem nicht").
'machtlich' doesn't exist, though ^^
you probably wanted to say 'mächtig'. In terms of physical strength that isn't really a good term. You'd say 'stark'. mächtig~powerful

nebenbei or zusätzlich or außerdem? all sources simply say "in addition"

My source doesn't. nebenbei, zusätzlich, http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&lang=de&searchLoc=0&cmpType=relaxed&sectHdr=on&spellToler=on&chinese=both&pinyin=diacritic&search=au%DFerdem&relink=on


'außerdem' and 'zusätzlich' are rather similar, I'd say.
'zusätzlich' is somewhat more literal, I think. (additional, supplemental) you really add something on top.
'nebenbei' is more 'casually', 'along the way', something in parallel or on the side. While the other two can e.g. be used to stack up arguments, 'nebenbei' introduces a more independent issue, that might have less of a focus/less importance.

"In meiner Freizeit spiele ich Videospiele. Außerdem mag ich..."
Here I'd say that 'zusätzlich' doesn't fit as well. It's a new, fairly independent point.

"Für das Rezept braucht man 200g X. Zusätzlich benötigt man..."
'außerdem' would work as well, but 'zusätzlich' seems a bit more "aware" of the first part. It's really supplemental to X.

I don't think it's that big of a difference. 'außerdem' seems to be a safer bet.


For me that's hard to explain. Hope I don't tell you anything that's wrong
When you write something, I'd just look at the links I posted and choose the one where the English options fit the best.

neuerdings - just recently, or vor kurzem - shortly ago? is there any difference?

Yes, there is. 'neuerdings' is more 'since recently'. The state has changed recently and at the moment of speaking it's still that way (covers a period of time). 'vor kurzem' is more punctual and can e.g. refer to an event that happend shortly ago.

ringsherum - all around. so like, ich sah mich ringsherum um, aber nie ihn sah! or can it also be used like "he's an all around good fella"

No, it can't be used in the sense of 'all around good' but only for space around something.

Here's another example where 'ringsherum' doesn't work ringsherum/rundum

reichtzeitig - in time. does this mean: sei mal für Klasse reichtzeitig! can it also mean: die Leistung wird doch reichtzeitig kommen- The solution will come in time (so don't worry!)

It's 'rechtzeitig' (as in right time). Doesn't quite work in the first case. "Sei rechtzeitig!" doesn't work. "Sei pünktlich!" does. But "Sei rechtzeitig/pünktlich in der Vorlesung" works...
Can't explain it, though ^^

It does work in your second case.
