Um Gott es Willen!
Edited on Mon Feb-09-04 04:20 PM by JonathanChance
I'm working on my German workbook right now.


These little spelling, grammatical, and case errors that I keep making are seriously pissing me off!

EDIT nummer eins: trying to be grammatically correct.
EDIT nummer zwei: Changed the title to something less offensive.

Grrr... Can't remember how to conjugate ficken.

2. Diese Scheisse
Edited on Mon Feb-09-04 03:40 PM by JVS
Sheisse is feminine thus the declension of the word dieser for the accusative feminine should be an e at the end. diese scheisse

4. Fick is more modern for the 2nd person imperative, but ficke is acceptable
I'd change it to "Fick diese Scheisse!" Don't forget that imperative requires an exclamation point.

9. When I go to Germany....
And if it's before January of 2005, I'm going to walk around in a shirt that says "Ich bin ein Amerikaner und ich hasse George W. Bush!"

19. Point of grammar: "Ich bin Amerikaner . . . ". No article is required.
Edited on Mon Feb-09-04 06:30 PM by no_hypocrisy
Also recommended: "George Bush ist ein Scheisskopf."

12. I'm alerting
I don't think you're allowed to say that on here, at least in English.

But then again, the only German I know is from art songs and arias and they don't generally discuss Scheiße.
