Hi, me again.

You know long words in German like Berufsinformationsveranstaltung and Hoechsgeschwindigkeitsbegrenzung, well, they seem to made up of other words. But sometimes some words that also look like they could be put together to make a single word, aren't done so. Why is that? How do you know when you have to stick them together and when not? If I should write them separately, would it be considered incorrect?

Hi,

could someone please translate this sentence?

Glauben sie an Horoskope? (I understand this part, just thought it might be useful for the second sentence) Nein, ich auch nicht, jedenfalls nicht so richtig - nur wenn darin steht, dass ich einzigartig und aufregend sei und mir lauter wunderbare Dinge winkten.

Why did the author use nicht so richtig there? What does it have to do with what she's saying?
And I also don't understand nur wenn darin steht.
And I don't understand the rest of sentence either. I can find the words from the dictionary, but when I put them together, I can't seem to get a meaning out of it. Is it sort of abstract?

Thanks

Hallo zusammen!

Ich weiss nicht, ob's ich hier fragen darf, aber ich versuche es mal. Ich interessiere mich sehr für die deutsche Literatur und möchte jetzt gerne wissen, was ihr mir empfehlen würde! Ich lese ziemlich gut Deutsch, brauche fast nie ein Wörterbuch, also alles ist für mich interessant. Ich lese gerne psychologische Romane (ist das auch die deutsche Bennenung für das Genre?), aber auch Bücher für Kinder und Jugendliche, fantasy, Märchen, Theaterstücke usw. Ich lese sowohl moderne als ältere Bücher, aber vor allem Empfehlungen für moderne Romane wären toll, denn mit denen bin ich nicht so bekannt.

Deutsche Bücher, die ich gelesen habe und mir gut gefallen haben:
- Die Welt von Gestern - Stefan Zweig
- Fräulein Else - Arthur Schnitzler
- Siddharta - Herman Hesse
- Die verlorene Ehre der Katharina Blum - Heinrich Böll
- Der Vorleser - Bernhard Schlink
- Adler und Engel - Juli Zeh

Ich habe schon Pläne mehr von diesen Schriftsteller zu lesen. Was würdet ihr weiter noch empfehlen? Danke schön im Voraus! (Wenn ich Fehler gemacht habe, scheut ihr bitte nicht, sie zu verbessern!)

Have You Lost Your Marbles?


Were they a sparkly, shiny, impossibly perfect shade of green?  If so, “Soupie” is using them for eyes, and you can’t have them back, so neener.  But what you can have (and you may want to take a step back, lest the cuteness knock you clean out of your cubicle) is the jaw-dropping, heart-stopping power of the…

There’s A New Chef in Town


First of all,  just looking around in here, I can tell that I’m gonna need the 12-quart stock pot. It will run you about 600 bones, but I don’t want to hear it. Oh, don’t give me that look – I’ll have my sous chef wash out the pot.

Whack-a-Chilla

Second, what’s with the beans? Don’t get me wrong, I’m brilliant, so I’ll be able to whip up something exquisite for your guests, but where’s the veg? Would something a little leafy in the pantry kill you? And don’t get me started on your electric cook top. I don’t know how you expect me to cook in these conditions.

Ta-Da!

I Am Not Disorganized!


Seriously, I’m so organized, it’s scary:

  • I always wash myself in a set pattern (right leg, left leg, right arm, left arm);
  • I sort my dead mousies by length, then by color, then by tail-to-torso ratio;
  • I sleep in the same sunbeam every day, using a weighted algorithm factoring seasonal solar variance against known shade points to determine each day’s optimum floor position and angle of exposure.

So why do people keep saying I’m disorganized?

I dunno, Pam W., just a feeling.

On the Next Episode of “Real Penguins of the Jersey Shore”…


You get a nice look, guy? You get a big ol’ eyeful? You trying to get her name? Well, her name is Mine, understand? Why don’t you just step off before I peck your face in, a’ight?

Once again, Gary forgot the key element when flashing...his trench coat.

German Writer's Aids

I'm pretty happy to have found this forum. I have a backlog of questions. Ich werde ihnen langsam auspumpen.

(I wanted to try using the word auspumpen. Should I have used "sie" up there? It's been a long time since my language classes.)

Do Germans remember the genders of all of their nouns? Do writers keep dictionaries at their sides with lists of words, cases, and genders? Do German word processors have grammar checkers that will flag something if, for instance, the writer types "gutes wein" instead of "guter wein"?

I keep hoping that, if I read enough, some things will just seem natural and I won't have to worry so much about remembering rules.

Because It’s There


Day 17:  I have established base camp at the foot of the treacherous south face, whose sheer, forbidding vertical surface has claimed many an explorer before me.  With the monsoon storms just days away, I must make every precious minute count as I inch my way to the fabled Ceiling of Coyolxauhuiehecatl — and history.

Mabel’s Birthday Conundrum


… and so, Mabel settled down in the straw and enjoyed the new scarf her older brother had given her.  But still, her brother’s knowing smirk filled Mabel’s mind with troubling questions.  For instance, why was she dressed just like a baby?  And why was there a baby dressed just like a lamb earlier that week?  But these doubts paled next to the most worrisome question of all…

Was this scarf knitted from someone I know?
