FAQ: >How do I learn a language? What is the best way to learn one? How should I improve on certain aspects? Ideally take a class, otherwise buy (torrent) a well-received textbook for your language, google any grammar you have trouble with and no matter what do lots of translation exercises but post an apu if you actually read this but I doubt it >Will I learn a language by using Duolingo five minutes a day while being a normie? No >Should I learn X to get a qt wife/gf (male) etc? Def not >Should I learn X because of my heritage Fuck off
>What language should I learn >I just want something easy and somewhat useful Swedish >I want a language that's useful and fun but not too hard Swedish >I want a language that's useful and embrace a challenge Swedish
Her er en Apu fordi jeg læste din post. Hvor er de sprog-ovelser? Også hvor godt kan du forstå dansk? Er det virkelig som en kartoffel i munden når du horer det?
>Hvor er de sprog-ovelser? Jag lämnar dem till någon annan :^)
>Også hvor godt kan du forstå dansk? I skrift? Fullständigt. I tal? Beror på danskens dialekt, men så länge de inte pratar för fort med flit så går det rätt bra.

Jeg læste en smule af en dansk grammar-bog for jeg begyndte at lære dansk og jeg kunne forstå nogle sætninger. "Du har en tyk bog" "En mand åbnede vinduet" etc. Hvad er den værste dialekt i danmark og i sverige? >Vi brukar mema om de har gröt i munnen. (^: Rodgrod med flode? :^)

>Hvad er den værste dialekt i danmark og i sverige? Ingen aning vad gäller danska dialekter, men i Sverige är nog de värsta väldigt lantliga skånska mål (i princip svenska uttalat på danska) eller östgötska - till och med östgötarna själva gör narr av sin dialekt. :^)

How do you say “somebody kill me, because I’m a gay faggot soy boy” in your target language?

How do you say "leafs are braindead pieces of shit that ruin every thread they're in" in your target language?

>Easy >I ate an apple, but no banana. Jag åt ett äpple men ingen banan. >Where is my shirt? Is it on the table? Var ligger min skjorta? Ligger det på bordet? >They live in Paris, the capital of France. De bor på Paris, Frankrikes huvudstad. >Whose pen is this? Vems penna är denna?
>Medium >She used to work in a chocolate factory Hon arbetade på en chokladfabrik >We don't see him anymore since he moved to Munich Vi ser inte honom eftersom flyttade han till München. >He has a nice car, but I don't know how much it cost Han har en snygg bil men jag vet inte dess värde >The bicycle I came with was white and blue.

>Var ligger min skjorta? Ligger det på bordet? den* Also, "var[t] är" would suffice here unless you know it should be lying around somewhere, instead of for example hanging on a hanger.
>De bor på Paris, Frankrikes huvudstad. i* Paris
>Vems penna är denna? det här
>Vi ser inte honom eftersom flyttade han till München. Vi träffar honom inte längre sedan han flyttade till München. or, if the male who moved is already implied in the conversation Vi träffas/ses inte längre sedan han flyttade till München.
>Han har en snygg bil men jag vet inte dess värde The sentence did not treat value, but cost. These can be different, so Han har en snygg bil men jag vet inte vad/hur mycket den kostade.
>Cykeln att jag kom med var vit och blå. -att
>Du borde köpa den boken att jag berättade dig om. Du borde köpa den där boken jag berättade för dig om.
>Trots våra starka politiska olikheter, jag respekterar min bror över alla. ,så respekterar jag min bror mer än någon annan. 'över alla' works too, but isn't as close to the original sentence. :^)
>Hur lyckas hon att avsluta det projektet? Det verkar så svårt. Hur lyckades hon slutföra det där projektet? Det verkar vara så svårt.
>Han beslutade att köpa gitarren som han ville för så länge Han beslutade[*] sig så småningom för att köpa gitarren som han hade velat ha så länge. For this assume a "better sentence" in English as >he had wanted for so long, as the original sounds off tbqhwya. And [*] = 'beslöt' can also be used, so don't be confused if you see that, as well as 'bestämde'. They all mean the same thing ("decided"), but come with varying levels of formality.

Ich aß einen Apfel, doch keine Banane Wo ist mein Hemd? Ist er auf dem Tisch? Sie wohnen in Paris, die Hauptstadt Frankreichs Wessen Kugelschreiber ist das?
Sie arbeitete in einem Schokoladenfabrik Wir sehen ihn nicht mehr, seit er nach München gezogen ist. Er hat ein schönes Auto, aber ich weiß nicht, wie viel es kostet Das Fahrrad womit ich kam, schwarz und blau war Solltest du das Buch kaufen, worüber ich dir erzahlte
Er sagt dass, er ein Kommunist sei, doch er nicht eben im Klassenkampf Trotz unseren starken Politikunterschieden, achte ich meinen Bruder mehr als irgendwer Wie schaffte sie, diese Projekt zu beenden? Es scheint so schwierig! Schließlich entschied er sich die Gitarre zu kaufen, die er wollte für so viel Zeit
William Gonzalez

Adam Cooper
ummm, sweeties, I hope you are not really learning all these languages
Oh. In that form it is "det". I believe because the "det här" is possibly broken into two actual words, like "whose pen is it here?". I'm not SAOL though, so don't quote me on that. :^) You could reword it by asking "vems är den här pennan?" instead.
Eli Bennett
Thanks man that helps.

>learning a people's language just appropriates their culture more it literally does the opposite tho
No, learning Polish is clearly just as bad as going down the streets dressed as a plumber and yelling "kurwa" at the the top of your lungs
Leo Rogers
I thought the point of cultural appropriation was that people borrow from cultures without respecting/understanding said culture. Wouldn't learning the language help fix that? I just don't understand anymore.
Joshua Scott
Just thought of this as I walked home btw if you reply to that question saying it is your pen, you'd say "det är min penna", right so, think of the question as a reverse order of that, in a sense that's why it gets the "det" form >replying 35 mins late was out on a grocery run :^)

>Ich habe einen Apfel gegessen, aber keine Banane. >Wo ist mein Hemd? Ist es auf der Tisch? >Sie leben in Paris, die Hauptstadt von Frankreich. >Wessen Stift ist dieser?
>Sie pflegte in einer Schokoladenfabrik zu arbeiten. >Wir sehen ihn nicht mehr seit er nach München umgezogen ist. (Can German please make up its mind — or, in concordance with the subject of discussion, can German its mind upmake — about the way simple prepositions change to conjunctions? ‘Vor’ becomes ‘bevor’ with a ‘be-’ added, ‘nach’ becomes ‘nachdem’ — which makes a lot of sense, since ‘nach’ always needs the dative — but then ‘seit’, which also requires exclusively the dative, remains unchanged. Like, explain yourselves!) >Er hat ein tolles Auto, aber ich weiß nicht wie viel es gekostet hat. >Das Fahrrad, mit dem ich gekommen bin, war weiß und blau. >Du sollst das Buch über das ich dir erzählt habe kaufen.
>Er sagt, dass er ein Kommunist ist, aber er glaubt erst an den Klassenkampf nicht. >Trotz unseren starken politischen Unterschieden, respektiere meinen Bruder mehr als alle. (Is this even right? I swear, German is completely retarded with simple concepts such as ‘any-’ words or the word ‘even’ or a bunch of other stuff.) >Wie hat sie den Projekt fertig zu machen hingekriegt? Es scheint so schwierig! >Er hat sich schließlich entschieden, sich die Gitarre, die er so lange begehrt hat, anzuschaffen.

Yes. At least speaking some of the language will change your experience when in that country...well, for me it did at least.

사과 하나를 먹었지만 바나나는 먹지 않았다. 내 셔츠는 어디에 있니? 탁자 위에 있어? 그들은 파리, 프랑스의 수도에서 산다. 이건 누구 볼펜이야?
그녀는 초콜릿 공장에서 일했다. 그가 Munich에 이사간 후로 우리는 그를 보지 못했다. 그는 좋은 차를 가졌다. 그러나 나는 얼마인지 모른다. 내가 타고 온 자전거는 하얗고 파란색이야. 넌 내가 말해줬던 책을 사야해
그는 자기가 공산주의자라고 말한다, 계급투쟁을 믿지도 않으면서 정치적 견해가 많이 다름에도 불구하고 나는 내 형을 누구보다 존중해요. 어떻게 그녀가 그 과제를 완수한것입니까? 매우 어려웠을텐데! 그는 결국 그가 오랫동안 원한 기타를 샀다.

>f you reply to that question saying it is your pen, you'd say "det är min penna", right Oh, okay, I thought the pronoun still had to agree with the gender even in that case. That makes sense then, thanks

>tfw your German-Romanian (Swabian) grandfather who spoke German as a native language died just when you were really getting into German
Thanks. It’s even more frustrating because I know how happy it would’ve made him that I made it to the national phase of the German Olympiad. The results for the county phase hadn’t been announced at the time of his death. That was back when I was in ninth grade.

What points? We could go to any Olympiads we wanted, no matter how dumb we were.
Well, yeah, the first phase was the brainlet filter, but no teacher stopped you.

I don't really recall how olympiads worked but I always underperformed in contests and exams and I think that's something I'll never get over.

you're using the colors as separate nouns in this case, not as adjectives of the bike in română e asemănător: bicicleta cu care am venit era albă cu _albastru_
