it says "why did the chicken cross the road"......."why?"......"bcoz he wanted to go to the other side"......jajajajaja
I used it and I'm not satisfied tbh german is a synthetic language so it's hard do translate directly
nah a friend of mine asked if anyone could speak german to translate it (it's a page from a book belonging to his great-grandmother's brother) to the idea that I had was to ask in a foreign forum if anyone could help with the translation
belonging to his great-grandmother's brother
explains a lot... bunch words which arent used nowadays, also this is the "standard" newspaper font they used in the days back then
man discovering that at least 10% of the brazilian population has german heritage
no i meant most of German who came to South America doesn't have a very nice history
tbh, I believe they are very well integrated into society, at least in brazilian society, and they are no less brazilian than others. obviously, they faced challenges upon arrival, like all other immigrants, but today there is no distinction.
but tbh I don't think there was discrimination (I'm just supposing, bc I never studied about it). brazil is known as cozy country
no i didn't meant any kind of discrimination just there background (by history i meant there background i think that might have confused you mb)
For about 400 years, the term "New World" has been established for those distant lands which suddenly came to the knowledge of European nations through the great feat of Columbus. Over the New World, people forgot that a similarly unknown part of the old world continued to remain not much less familiar than America was four centuries ago. The vast continent of Africa remained until our time the dark portion of the world, of which the Phoenicians and Romans knew more than the greatest seafaring nations of our time did until about 30 years ago. Since then, a series of explorers, driven by an unprecedented dedication to science and culture, ventured into the most uncharted lands, facing remarkable dangers. They possessed the same courage and enthusiasm for their cause as Columbus did, and they have, once again, revealed a new world. From that point on, all eyes turned to this new world, and its discovery during the early 19th century held significance not much lesser than the discovery of the Americas during the 15th century.
@eszett i approved this guys text and its pretty much identical
is this some history work you have to do? because the text uses quite a lot of old words which arent really used these days anymore (or maybe i just dont know them lol)
isn't for me. it's a book wrote by my friend's relative. he wants to know more about his family (he was unironically disposed to pay someone to translate all the 78 pages)
No probs man. Although i have to say that even when german is arguably my best language, its insanely difficult to read and actually understand
German is a FUCKING HARD language, especially the grammar.
And also old articles, texts are written in a more formal style, which is more complex to read. Sometimes i understand absolutely nothing of those texts.
german is truly challenging man (especially for someone who speaks a romance language like me). are you a native?
yea native german
on the flip side, as a germanic language speaker romance languages are hard for me lol
im currently doing french, might do spanish / portuguese in the future lets see
Oh I see
I believe this happens due to the language structures – German being synthetic, allowing you to use a single word like 'Naturwissenschaft' to refer to something, whereas we need three words like 'ciências da natureza' in Portuguese. Also, the phonetics play a role. French is truly captivating (my second favorite Romance language). I'm really eager to learn German; it's my second favorite language after Portuguese (I used to play Val in German). If you ever need assistance with Portuguese, feel free to call me, my friend 🙏
Yes, simply putting words together is normal for us, and its something you will find everywhere while learning german
Also thanks for the offer bro, much appreciated. I hope to complete french in the next year or so, then i will shoot my shot for other languages. If you ever need help for german, dont hesitate to message me broski 🙏🙏
