cause there is a penalty for every detail phrase

I went to the vet... with the cat... on the way to the mall.... with Susan... etc

2019-09-25 16:36:21 UTC  

@Laucivol Not quite. English is just "analytical" language
Which means you are constantly solving a puzzle whenever you read an english sentence
The words in english have such a plethora of meanings, that a listener/reader must pay attention to the sentence context in order to assign the correct meaning
It is literally a semantic sudoku you have to solve on the fly

2019-09-25 16:36:46 UTC  

for each of those phrases in german, i'd have to move the verb to the end then remember the order

2019-09-25 16:36:55 UTC  

Which is hella fun, I would add - Uksio.

2019-09-25 16:37:09 UTC  

It does make you adopt a certain way of thinking

2019-09-25 16:37:22 UTC  

Right, which is the premise I'm at

2019-09-25 16:37:40 UTC  

maybe, also adds to confusion

2019-09-25 16:37:53 UTC  

Ventriolquist = Bauchreder

2019-09-25 16:38:00 UTC  

German sentences can have absolutely 0 meaning till you hear the verb at the end

2019-09-25 16:38:06 UTC  

bach = stomach; reden = to speak

2019-09-25 16:38:07 UTC  

Pain in the ass for the interpreters

2019-09-25 16:38:09 UTC  

simple

2019-09-25 16:38:21 UTC  

Confusion or fun. Just a certain point of view.

2019-09-25 16:38:31 UTC  

ambiguity

2019-09-25 16:38:37 UTC  

not really confusion

2019-09-25 16:39:00 UTC  

german is so closely typed often you don't even NEED the noun to infer the object

2019-09-25 16:39:17 UTC  

True, but confusion is a potential result that ambiguity.

2019-09-25 16:39:17 UTC  

Ich nehme die zum TierArtz

2019-09-25 16:39:38 UTC  

Ok faggots

2019-09-25 16:39:47 UTC  

german sucks for poetic forms like similie and metaphor though

2019-09-25 16:39:48 UTC  

Well. Interpreters that translate German on the fly often experience clients that gesture at them to translate, while said speaker didn't finish the sentence,
And the poor interpretert still has no clue what the speaker is saying.
Espcially because negations go AT THE END in german

You can be saying a lengthy sentence in German and then add "not" at the end, just turning it all on its head

2019-09-25 16:40:39 UTC  

lol; yeah, that can be a pain to translate cause you can't do it via 'stream of consciousness'

2019-09-25 16:40:58 UTC  

you have to wait till the idea is completed to start your translation

2019-09-25 16:41:08 UTC  

very simplex type of communication

2019-09-25 16:41:08 UTC  

Oof. So complete thoughts are required by the language structure?

2019-09-25 16:41:11 UTC  

Russian can be translated almost at the same pace as it is spoken

2019-09-25 16:41:13 UTC  

have any of you got the feeling you cant please anyone

its like

*i want to save money* - "You're hoarding money you pig"

*i want to go to college* - "Colleges will turn you into an sjw"

*i want to marry* - "Dont you know feminism has ruined women"

* i guess i wont marry* - "Then you've failed life and to "reproduce""

*maybe i'll buy a neat game or go to the movies* - "then you're irresponsible with money*


what the fuck do i do?

2019-09-25 16:41:17 UTC  

Russian has no word order

2019-09-25 16:41:34 UTC  

yeah, russian is .... head ache

2019-09-25 16:42:01 UTC  

yes, lauv

2019-09-25 16:42:03 UTC

Oy vey how dare greaterisrael thotbergenstein insult the glorious and infallible france hurr durr baguette hon hon surrenderfag

2019-09-25 16:42:12 UTC  

Russian has a few weird things too
like "yes no" reply

2019-09-25 16:42:20 UTC  

german lanauge really does require complete, discrete thinking

2019-09-25 16:42:32 UTC  

It means "but actually no", and can mean yes anyway

2019-09-25 16:42:42 UTC  

@Napoleon Lee Scott but yes, society is a fickle bi-polar bitch to deal with
