Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: Peace Date: 19 Jun 07 - 07:01 PM No, Cookie, I'm not. I lived with a mountain lion for three years but she never did get used to me. Thanks for thanking the people you thanked. And how has your day been? |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: GUEST,cookie Date: 19 Jun 07 - 06:49 PM Hey Peace are you married? |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: GUEST,cookie Date: 19 Jun 07 - 04:22 PM by the way thank you jeri. |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn Ger From: MudGuard Date: 19 Jun 07 - 03:49 PM Joe, "siebzig neun" is not used in any part of Germany for 79. "neunundsiebzig" is the normal (and only - apart from pronunciation variations) form - I do not like it, but there it is. 179 is (ein)hundertneunundsiebzig - which shows why I do not like it - the spoken "digits" are in a different order than the written digits, as the "siebzig" is at the end while the corresponding 7 is in the middle. (similar to US dates which have the small unit days in the middle, the medium unit month at the beginning and the big unit years at the end) MudGuard, native German speaker |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: Ebbie Date: 19 Jun 07 - 12:54 PM Oh, I wanted to add: Joe, I too have never seen numbers given that way in German. We always used 'und'. But just to cover the bases - since my family spoke a dialect - I looked it up in Babelfish and the alternative is what they gave. |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: Ebbie Date: 19 Jun 07 - 12:52 PM Thanks for the link, alanabit. I'm glad to have the tune. Have to say, though, that if the video is a distillation of men's fantasies, no wonder it is said that men are from Mars. lol |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: GUEST,cookie Date: 19 Jun 07 - 11:21 AM Thanks Mr.Offer for deleting that message. P.S.I am sorry about that remark I made. Will you accept my apology? |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: Peace Date: 19 Jun 07 - 09:56 AM That should read, ". . . make sure you thank Jeri . . .". |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: Peace Date: 19 Jun 07 - 09:55 AM Hi, Cookie. Listen up, buddy. You have to be nice to folks here, OK? Most of them are my friends. They're good people, so be cool. I have a full day ahead of me, so I won't be here much until after supper. Maybe we could shoot the breeze then, OK? And you make sure you than Jeri for deleting your e-mail address. She's one of the assistant clones who took care of that for you. She is also a very nice lady. And Mr Offer wrote me when he got to Mudcat and said that the deletion of your e-mail address had already been handled. You have some really good people looking out for you, so ya gotta be nice. Capiche? |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: GUEST,cookie Date: 19 Jun 07 - 08:44 AM Hey Peace, are you online yet? |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: GUEST,cookie Date: 18 Jun 07 - 10:22 PM I am sorry about the genius remark I did not mean it.I found a friend on your sight and wanted to talk to him. |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn Ger From: Jeri Date: 18 Jun 07 - 10:09 PM Cookie, Joe is the first moderator here. This thread wasn't non-music until you started a chat here. Kid or adult, it would be a good idea to seek a clue before jumping in and pissing people off. I'm sure if you make an effort to understand what Mudcat's about, you'll be welcome here. And regarding your e-mail address deletion: you're welcome. |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: Joe Offer Date: 18 Jun 07 - 10:05 PM Na und, cookie? The thread started out as a song request, and was in the music section until today, when the conversation drifted far, far away from the song request. HOWEVER, should anyone know the lyrics for the requested song, we'd still like to see them posted in this thread. Just put ADD and the song title in the subject box of your message. -Joe Offer, Forum Moderator- |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: GUEST,cookie Date: 18 Jun 07 - 10:00 PM This is the non-music section genius. |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: GUEST,Joe Offer, at the Women's Center Date: 18 Jun 07 - 09:47 PM I guess one of the Clones moved this thread to the non-music section. I think it started out looking for a song, but the song was never found and the thread drifted. Anyhow, Ebbie said 79 was neunundsiebzig or siebzig neun. Now every part of every German-speaking country has a different way of saying things, but siebzig neun is something I ain't never heard nohow. Is there a native speaker in the house, who can verify whether siebzig neun is ever used? -Joe- |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: Peace Date: 18 Jun 07 - 09:39 PM Good night. |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: Peace Date: 18 Jun 07 - 09:39 PM Yeah. I didn't like math, either. But you know the saying, right? "Ya don't have to like it; ya just have to do it." |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: GUEST,cookie Date: 18 Jun 07 - 09:38 PM Night buddy. |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: GUEST,cookie Date: 18 Jun 07 - 09:36 PM OK I won't I don't like math but I got a B in it. |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: Peace Date: 18 Jun 07 - 09:35 PM Yes, I'm still here. What's up? |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: Peace Date: 18 Jun 07 - 09:34 PM OK. I have to go. You take care of yourself and be careful crossing the street. (I know, you're not a kid.) I hope we can talk a bit tomorrow. Good night, little buddy. |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: GUEST,cookie Date: 18 Jun 07 - 09:34 PM Peace,you still there? |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: Peace Date: 18 Jun 07 - 09:22 PM I certainly will pass on your thanks, Cookie. But there's a good chance they already saw them. |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: Peace Date: 18 Jun 07 - 09:20 PM LOL. I failed it all the way through school. However, whether or not we like it, we have to learn it. If the math to get my age was a bit much, here's the long explanation. "Multiply your age by 4. Add to that 5 x 3" Your age is 11. So 11 x 4 = 44. Add 5 x 3 = 15 to that. 44 + 15 = 59. So, my age is 59. Don't be tellin' that to people. SSSSSSHHHH. |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: GUEST,cookie Date: 18 Jun 07 - 09:17 PM tell the editor I said,"THANK YOU." |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: GUEST,cookie Date: 18 Jun 07 - 09:15 PM yeah ,but I hate math. |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: GUEST,cookie Date: 18 Jun 07 - 09:12 PM THANK YOU!!!! |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: Peace Date: 18 Jun 07 - 09:12 PM Wow, That is lots of wars. And lots to learn. Do you enjoy school? |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: Peace Date: 18 Jun 07 - 09:09 PM This is what it looks like now: Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn Ger From: GUEST,matt - PM Date: 17 Jun 07 - 04:14 PM if anyone knows email me at [removed per request - see below]. |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: GUEST,cookie Date: 18 Jun 07 - 09:09 PM I am out of school now but next year I will study WWI, WWII,and the Korean War. |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: Peace Date: 18 Jun 07 - 09:08 PM It ois taken care of. |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: Peace Date: 18 Jun 07 - 09:07 PM It may take them an hour or so, but they WILL get it done, OK? Please don't be worried about it. But handg on. I'll message a few other people. They are assistant editors and they can do that, too. Hang on and I'll be back. |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: GUEST,cookie Date: 18 Jun 07 - 09:05 PM Peace will you please get the editors to delete the e-mail message? |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: Peace Date: 18 Jun 07 - 09:02 PM OK. Cookie is good. I preferred Oscar the Grouch myself, but then it's an age thing, and I'm a grumpy old guy anyway. I just sent a message asking that the e-mail post and some bits of another be removed. Mr Offer is the site administrator and he's a really good guy. So that's taken care of. Now, what are you studying in history? |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: GUEST,cookie Date: 18 Jun 07 - 08:59 PM are ther any more rules to know about?now my name is cooki ok. |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: Peace Date: 18 Jun 07 - 08:55 PM Chief of Police? Cool. But don't be talkin' about that, either. I will ask one of the editors to erase that part of your post: the e-mail one. But NO MORE personal information, OK? |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: GUEST,matt c. Date: 18 Jun 07 - 08:52 PM how do I delete the message?By the way my dad is the cheif of police. |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: Peace Date: 18 Jun 07 - 08:52 PM Right. Look, if we're gonna be friends, ya gotta read what I write, too, OK? "Do NOT go giving out your e-mail address or real name or even where you live to people you meet on the internet." |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: GUEST,matt c. Date: 18 Jun 07 - 08:49 PM no I don't have hills where I live because I live in Iowa. |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: Peace Date: 18 Jun 07 - 08:49 PM I am from Canada. A provice called Alberta. And listen up for a second, OK? Do NOT go giving out your e-mail address or real name or even where you live to people you meet on the internet. Got that? |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: GUEST,matt c. Date: 18 Jun 07 - 08:46 PM And where are you from? |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: Peace Date: 18 Jun 07 - 08:46 PM Do you have hills where you are? Because if you do, I am almost as old as them. If you are any good at math, here is how old I am. Multiply your age by 4. Add to that 5 x 3. I love history, too. What history are you studying now? |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: GUEST,matt c. Date: 18 Jun 07 - 08:43 PM I am 11 and in 6th grade and just love history.p.s. how old are you? |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: Peace Date: 18 Jun 07 - 08:41 PM That's what I was hoping we could talk about. You are kinda young to think that not many people like you. |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: GUEST,matt c. Date: 18 Jun 07 - 08:40 PM I mean't not many people like me ,but I do have a girlfriend. |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: Peace Date: 18 Jun 07 - 08:39 PM No, I wasn't. And I'm glad about that. I have often been in dubious battle, though. But there are many people here who have been in wars. Some will talk about it and some won't. You seem to have an interest in warfare. Why is that? |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: GUEST,matt c. Date: 18 Jun 07 - 08:37 PM Hey Peace, Were you in a war? |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: Peace Date: 18 Jun 07 - 08:36 PM I was hoping to get some clarification as to something you said upthread. "I learned German from books I read and tv shows I watched.Eventhough I know German I am not popular.But I have a girlfriend.Which is pretty good.She has german ancestors too." What do you mean you're not popular. |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: GUEST,matt c. Date: 18 Jun 07 - 08:33 PM Good.What do you wanna talk about? |
Subject: RE: Req: If You Want People to Like You, Learn German From: Peace Date: 18 Jun 07 - 08:24 PM Yeah, Matt, I'm here. |
