@ScottW I kinda see what you're saying, but it's still odd to say it's an adjective because "annektieren" is a verb.
Scott W
incorporated is an adjective
past participle
my point was not that
my point was adjectival constructs can be huge
Astrum
ah
I see what you're saying
Scott W
in English we don't have, say, "in-the-meat-factory-made" hamburgers
we'd have to say hamburgers
that were made
in the meat factory
and yes I am really hungry
Astrum
yeah yea, I totally see what you're saying
strange how I never noticed it
maybe the reason for that is because it would be very clunky to have a subclause for "(main), that were made in the meat factory"
Scott W
hahaha
markdown screwed you
Astrum
23:16
I didn't know that doing [ main ] linked to the main site
Scott W
yeah exactly it's kind of a "shortcut"
Stack Overflow
German Language
?
yup
[ german.se ]
Astrum
cool
Scott W
in German it's ok to just lump a descriptive thing as an adjective w/ past participle
Astrum
what book did you read, anyway? I'm (slowly) reading one too
Scott W
in front of the object
in english that's done only comedically and with lots and lots of hyphens
@Astrum just read
Gut gegen Nordwind
Astrum
23:18
never heard of it
any good?
Scott W
it was interesting
it's purely emails back and forth between two random people
and a kind of relationship forms
Astrum
that's sort of interesting
Scott W
I like it cause it does get fancy sometimes, but it also has a lot of colloquialisms and such
a good mix to learn from
Astrum
I'm reading "All quiet on the western front"
Scott W
translated?
Astrum
23:21
probably not the best choice...
no
Scott W
was that originally german
Astrum
I've always wanted to read it, and I see this as a good opportunity to practice German at the same time
yes
Scott W
oh i'm dumb
haha
Astrum
Im Westen nichts Neues
Scott W
it's probably difficult
Astrum
23:22
I guess it is, but probably not much more than anything else
Scott W
yeah at some point it's all the same, unless it's like children's stuff
Astrum
I have an easier time reading news, but that's probably a fault in my vocab
Scott W
well there are different areas of vocab to learn
when I read financial stuff I'm often clueless
Astrum
ew, finance
Scott W
lol
I can barely understand it in English
Astrum
23:23
haha
Scott W
put it in German and there goes 100%
Astrum
I've been trying to read reddit comments too in German
Scott W
gonna shower rq brb
Astrum
alright, have fun
Scott W
23:52
bak
Astrum
I don't feel like studying today....
