PSA: German is more logical and straightforward than /int/ will give them credit for

>>215729762 (OP)
words for tortoise, turtle and frog are related in turkish as well

>>215729814
Your language has SOUL

>>215729762 (OP)
Also: "Hand" (hand) + "Schuh" (shoe) -> "Handschuh" (glove).
"Taschen" (pockets) + "Lampe" (lamp) -> "Taschenlampe" (torch/flashlight).

>>215729762 (OP)
I am a native English speaker learning German. This shit is a pain in my ass but it's kinda kino sometimes.

Having to capitalize every noun sounds like ass

Yeah it's an interesting language. I wish people in /deutsch/ weren't so autistic. I was able to practice French and Spanish in their respective threads, but if you speak in the German thread without a VPN on you get swamped by retards. I have to practice with autists in VRChat now for this lang instead.

>>215729953
Since they tend to have these long run-on sentences, it helps with readability desu. It'd be worse without it.

>>215729933
Hang in there, buddy
>>215729980
I am sorry they weren't more welcoming, you sound like a good person

>>215729980
We have two or three schizos who attack everybody all the time on /deutsch/. It sucks, not just for you, for everybody.

>>215730023
why are they like this

>>215730130
I don't know. One of them has admitted that he's a foreigner and a cripple plus a diagnosed schizophrenic.

>>215730168
I also hear there was beef between an austrian and a german (who also was a /tg/ regular and created his own board game) and they harrassed each other and the case even went to court?

Is that true?

>>215729762 (OP)
The suffix -ano in Spanish almost always the equivalent of the suffix -ão in Portuguese, and there are many other cases like that.

Is there anything similar going on between English and German?

>>215730179
Yes, that was a few years ago. The German autist lost his overpaid job because the Austrian reported his postings to his superiors. The German autist then sued the Austrian for hateposting and the Austrian lost his computer, wasn't allowed social media for a few years and had to pay a hefty fine I heard. Austria is really tough on those cases.

Anyway, it seems the frog posters are the only comfy posters left on /deutsch/, and they're not often there.

>>215730217
>Is there anything similar going on between English and German?
We have many such cases. One is for example the adverb/adjective ending -lich, which is -ly in English. English -ing ist often -ung in German.

>>215730224
Is it true that a bavarian introduced frogposting to german posters and now they all do it?

>>215730419
No. The Bavarian never posts on /deutsch/. We frogpost independently, just like the Dutch on /nederdraad/.

>>215730252
Cool stuff, this makes it so much easier to learn another language

We have the exact same translation of those. Handskar and Ficklampa

>>215731346
>Handskar and Ficklampa
I think the Dutch also say "zaklamp" - "pocket lamp".

>>215729762 (OP)
die übersetzungen sind bis auf schild alle falsch aber hab so langsam nach allden jahren auch kein bock mehr euch deppen zu berichtigen

we stole most of your compound nouns but Handschuh was just way too autistic for us

>Tieto (Knowledge) + Kone (Machine) = Tietokone (Computer)
>Suihku (Shower/Jet) + Kone (Machine) = Suihkukone (Jet aircraft)
>Jää (Ice) + Kaappi (cupboard) = Jääkaappi (Refrigirator)
We have the same with Turtle (Kilpikonna. Kilpi =shield. konna =toad) and >>215729890
Flashlight: Taskulamppu (Tasku = pocket. Lamppu = lamp)

>>215732055
>Taskulamppu (Tasku = pocket. Lamppu = lamp)
Juhuu!
Btw. I can understand why the English call it "torch" or "electric torch". I can't understand why the Americans call it "flashlight". It usually doesn't flash, it just shines.

>>215731346
>Ficklampa

>>215731346
>Ficklampa
Would make a German translation for Fleshlight.

>>215732125
>Early flashlights ran on zinc–carbon batteries, which could not provide a steady electric current and required periodic "rest" to continue functioning.[1] Because these early flashlights also used energy-inefficient carbon-filament bulbs, "resting" occurred at short intervals. Consequently, they could be used only in brief flashes, hence the common North American name "flashlight"
the more you know

>>215732055
>Jää (Ice) + Kaappi (cupboard) = Jääkaappi (Refrigirator)
kek we also have this

>>215732055
Konna can also mean criminal/bad guy.

>>215732568
Interesting. I only knew that electric torches appeared shortly after "dry batteries" (zinc-carbon) were invented. Also Europe already had osmium-wolfram filaments early on. We also had a battery company that would make and sell cheap but very good torches to promote battery sales: Varta. Varta is an abbreviation for "Verein für Aufladung, Reparatur und Transport von Akkus" - club for recharging, repairing and trasport of accumulators. Originally they took care of car batteries, but later became big in the production of "dry batteries" - i.e. the D, C, AA and AAA batteries that use a paste as an electrolyte.

>>215732768
"Akku" means rechargable battery in finnish

>>215732826
The same here. It's short for "Akkumulator".

>Fucking primitives
Unlikely, we would never fuck anglos

>>215732390
I think back in the days they used to translate fleshlight to flicklampa on subtitles, but i think people use the English term overall

>>215731346
We have loaned swedish gloves into finnish so it is simply Hanskat

>>215730513
It really do be like that.

>>215732055
>>Jää (Ice) + Kaappi (cupboard) = Jääkaappi (Refrigirator)
Adorable. :з

This how every germanic language works.. except english

>>215735782
>>215732055
"Kühl" (cool/cooling) + "Schrank" (cupboard) -> "Kühlschrank" (refrigerator).

>>215735960
We also hava "fern" (far away) + "Sehen" (seeing/watching) -> "Fernsehn" (TV) and we used to have "fern" (far away) + "Sprecher" (speaker) -> "Fernsprecher" (telephone), but these days everybody just says "Telefon".

>>215735960
>This how every germanic language works.. except english
Stop drawing attention to it.

Did you consider that English is not a pure Germanic lanugage?

We also have "Sonnenschirm" - parasol.

i'm a leaky chad :D

>>215736011
Probably comes from Greek. Tele=far away

>>215737160
Yes, it does.
My point was we used to form new words by combining words we already had in our language. The English don't, they just adopt Latin or Greek words.
