I get you. I listen to random Dutch songs every now and then even though I can't understand them to save my life, just to get a feel for what sung Dutch sounds like.

What are you trying to convey? friend.

I was going to ramble some more but I don't want to give you bad advice just in case something differs from German, but do yourself a favor and look up sentence structure rules, for example in your Dutch translation "hebben" should be at the end

That's what I was trying to say. Dutch feels like a bunch of questions I'm still too dumb to answer because it's my 5th day.

Are there any Welsh speakers here? I am falling in love with Welsh desu.

I am that guy who is learning korean. Looking back at how I found my bearings. I started just looking at/ changing the smallest sentences(with just a single clause). To be, to have, to go... slowly working up to multiple clauses.

For your 5th day, I'm suprised by the legibility of your single clause sentences. Maybe there is some partial truth to the meme that dutch is easy for english speakers.

I knew that "hebben" should be at the end, but for some reason my brain can't fathom that, and it seems really awkward, so I forget.

How exactly do accents above vowels work? Like if I were to write пepó (had to use a Latin O since my Russian phone keyboard wouldn't give me one)

If it's a lengthy explanation feel free to just leave a link or something, I'm going bed soon Anquan

it indicates the stressed letter afaik, and is only really used for learning the language, not in day to day writing

I know I'm repeating myself but just practice over and over, thinking in your target language as much as possible (with correct grammar) helps too, I did this with German and sentence structure comes automatically

Anyway*
I figured it was that but some of pronunciations I heard conflicted with it a bit. Probably why I couldn't access it on the Cyrillic layout

I can comply with this sentiment. Never thought it would for me too when I was just starting. It does require drilling.

Any German speakers here?
In French, most nouns ending in e will be feminine, is there a similar way to tell what the grammatical gender of a noun is in German, or would I have to learn each word's grammatical gender individually?

It might be true. I think it's referring to native English speakers though. I tend not to think things over properly, as advised me, so I screw up simple things that I really shouldn't be getting wrong.

I know this feeling. Failing the first conjugating rule you knew. You need to at some point though. Leaving it unattended will only worsen the problem.

Is there something like djt.neocities for chinese and french?

any Irish speakers?

Attached: Éire-stampa-2d-600x400.jpg (600x400, 96K)

There are certain endings that take a certain gender as a rule of thumb.

e.g. -chen is always neuter, and -heit, -keit, and -ung is always feminine, and -ismus is always masculine.

But it's not worth learning it like that.

Yeah , I'm gonna be drilling Dutch whenever I get the chance until I figure things out. I hope I won't get intimidated and quit later down the line.

I wish I knew why/ when we put the verb at the end like that so I could attempt to explain it. It's truly what sets us apart from the english.

>I wish I knew why/ when we put the verb at the end like that
>mfw not even the Dutch know how their language works
I'm fucked then. I'll just put it wherever I think it sounds good and hope for the best.

There is 100% a rule for this. My grasp of dutch grammar beyond the imprinted feeling I have is just too poor.

>>mfw not even the Dutch know how their language works
It just sounds right :^)

How would I say should in Irish, as in " you should do it tommorow"? I haven't been able to find that out

Slavic languages are probably the best when it comes to determining what gender a specific word is.

Nimic nu e greu daca te straduiesti, user! Need help with anything?

Attached: Przechwytywanie.png (390x402, 107K)

I know that conjunctions like omdat, totdat and zodat place the verb at the end, but I'm a bit confused beyond that.

And this is why I never learned German properly.

Why? Is this an incorrect graph?

Not sure how you would get that from my post. It's the number of different endings for each gender. And of course, even if you know what gender a word is, then the article also changes depending on the declension, making it a thousand times harder.

Learning greek. Man duolingo sucks but it gets the job done :(

So did I type that correctly? Shouldn't it be greu, not grea?

Have you tried a textbook along with Duo? Also, why Greek out of all things?

This makes German look overly complicated

Probably regret losing those noun cases and nueter gender Italy. Shouldn't have made Latin more retarded like you did.

"Limba romana" - The Romanian language (feminine). "Grea" is the feminine form of "Greu". "Nimic" (" Nothing", and yes, we use double negatives - Nimic nu este) uses the masculine form. You are correct.

Do you know about all the tenses?
ott - ovt - vtt - vvt - ottt - vttt - ovtt - vvtt?
Look at the position of the verb and what you are trying to convey.

N-nani? Explain

>Nominative
Who / what?
Baiatul merge. (The boy is walking / going) - Baiatul is the subject
>Accusative
Who / what again but for direct objects
Fata il vede pe baiat (The girl sees the boy) - baiat is the direct object. Direct objects tend not to be accompanied by "pe" (Imi place cititul - I like reading), but I gave you an exception for easier understanding.
>Genitive
Whose?
Casa baiatului e rosie (The boy's house is red).
Casa rosie este A baiatului (The red house is the boy's)
>Genitive

>Vocative

Baiatule, vino! (Boy, come!)

In most cases, a noun is female if it ends with a, male if it doesn't have a suffix and neutral if it ends with e or o. There are exceptions but in most cases that's how it is. Then there are some Slovene dialects that make it easier and eliminate the neutral gender altogether so all those nouns are male.

Fuck I screwed up 4th case is Dative. Sorry.

the second verb in a dutch sentence always goes at the end
i have not learned french = ik heb frans niet geleerd

ive been doing dutch for almost a year now, not as much as i used to but im still mildly good at it

So it's like German where you decline only the article (ul)? And also are cases used with prepositions?

>Accusative
Pe, cu, la, pentru
>Dative
Gratie, multumita, datorita (Thanks to), contra, impotriva (against) - there is no difference between the words except for their origin - contrar (contrary to), aidoma, asemenea (like, just like)

Note that some prepositions require the feminine form regardless of the speaker's gender. "Impotriva" is one such preposition
>Impotriva / contra mea
Against me

Yes, just the article changes. Romanian is weird and irregular as fuck so feel free to ask for further info because I can't be bothered to include it all.

I could never learn a language that I only learned because of a girl who dumped me.

Sounds more natural. The english equivalent of this problem: "do you want a rice" --> "do you want a grain of rice" or "do you want rice"
>Die moeten behaaglijke (?) schoenen zijn
Correct if the shoes are far away and you're pointing at them. It's plural so die/deze is correct. Behaagelijke is also correct. An irregular to the rule that adjectives should be written as short of possible.
> Mijn voeten doen pijn
Correct!

>보스는

So is "een stuk chocolade" like "a piece of chocolate"?
>An irregular to the rule that adjectives should be written as short of possible.
I didn't know that's a thing. Also, I'm sad because of how unnatural some Dutch words look to me. I had to triple check them because I write like a dyslexic.

what is the lady saying

vocaroo.com/i/s1k6eqmgVt50

> Ich fahre nach Rosen???? ins Kino. Was weiss ich? Vielleicht gehen wir nach dem Essen. Tschüß.

It's a rule which changes a noun. Die grootte (that big [one]) into the adjective het grote ding (this big thing). You remove the double vowel (aa, oo, uu), double tt, dd.
Unless it changes the pronunciation. Which would occur in behaagelijke -> behagelijke
This is learned through exposure mostly and only important for your written dutch.

I can't speak german very well but it sounds like zuhause

Will people make fun of me if I forget?

>I wish I knew why/ when we put the verb at the end like that so I could attempt to explain it. It's truly what sets us apart from the english.

It's the same in german, second verb in inifinitive always comes at very end

Thats a though call to make. I could give a jab at generalising the women I know personally. But the kind of lowlander you'd find on that service is also a mystery to me. The short answer on the first would be western but to call them unfemine is also not a perfect label. I have met pleasant women though. I suppose this applies to all countries though.
