Because it's German, there is actually a national board responsible for setting the rules for the language. The formal complaint is actually a viable request.
is that not a normal thing? my countrys had an institution that set the rules of grammar for the national language pretty much since its foundation. i always thought thats just something all countries have lol
Two things I’ve learnt from this short: 1. Not even when you’re dead can you stop a German from filing a formal complaint 2. Ikea is the optimal location to learn German
That's probably because German verbs have no case :-). But the point still stands. Most Germans wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the Perfekt and the Präteritum.
They don't know because most verbs have Akkusativ anyway (ich sehe DEN Baum, ich mache DIE Hausaufgabe...). Some require the accompaning object to be in another Kasus (Dativ or Genitiv) but tbh they are rare, and most Germans don't know how to use them properly anyway! (fröhnen, gedenken, sich annehmen etc.)

@@turquoisephoenix6548 you can easily google and confirm what I was saying. What an odd thing to state when its so easy to confirm. From Wikipedia for example: A sweater (North American English) or pullover, also called a jersey or jumper (British English and Australian English), is a piece of clothing, typically with long sleeves, made of knitted or crocheted material that covers the upper part of the body.
@turquoisephoenix6548 calm down, little child. Not everyone assumes they have to Google a word that already exists in their own language for an alternative meaning. We're all allowed to have our own variants, spellings, and dialects of the English language. Mmmkay?
I'm very good at just knowing what fits without necessarily knowing the grammar rule, but I can't do ',' punctuation, I just put them whenever the sentence gets too long 😂
Took a year of German in high school and our teacher believed the only way to properly learn german was theough repetitive practice. So every class the first 10 minutes was her giving us commands to folow like stand up, sit down, point to x...etc. Then we repeated verb congregations 5 times. After that we got a new lesson. 35 years later I still know how to congregate berbs and follow simple commands only. Lol
They're probably not entirely wrong. When done right repetition can aid in solidifying something learned. But wow that sounds boring and I've got to wonder if that pace of introducing new material is effective. Too much repetition at the start of a new skill just stagnates the learning process
@emberguard5009 Wow, I should have proofread my first post. Lots of typos. I actually enjoyed the class. She was a fun teacher, and the practice was all game like. Think speed Simon says like game. And the previous days lessons were added to that days commands. Even the daily lessons were done through stories. She even made the congregation fun. Too bad I never found a way to practice and keep my knowledge.
in my Japanese classes, we learned every new conjugation with the verb "to eat". And repeated it a lot. I can still say I eat, I want to eat, I don't eat, I cannot eat, let's eat, I ate, do I eat, do I not want to eat and so on. But I don't really remember any other verbs!
If it makes you feel any better, German is derived from Old High German, which was a conglomeration of a bunch of different tribal languages. I've never studied German to understand the direct impact of that, but I have studied English, which started in a similar way (three German tribal languages), and that tends to make things rather messy since essentially the language (Western German) split and came back together with different languages that had developed different ways of doing the same thing.
Yes, and that messiness is how we got a whole bunch of different endings consolidated into '-ing' even though their functions were totally different. Totally ridiculous!
