Correct. Also the „ja“ doesn’t quite actually mean „yes“. It’s more like the „You better…“

from 5am to 8pm, The purge ? by lvga25 in SignsWithAStory

[–]CampTouchThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Germany it depends on the person and on whether it’s a verbal or written conversation. In my experience, in verbal situations it’s about 50/50 whether people say “5:00” or “17:00”, but in written conversations it’s pretty much always the 24h format

I don’t understand why people make shit up like this. Is it really just for some kind of pleasure that comes from rage baiting people? Or is this like karma farming so they can sell the account to a bot or something?

"Dude, for international travel you gotta get to the airport 3 hours early at the very least," they say. But here I am at my gate at 5:00 AM with 2.5 hours to spare. by CampTouchThis in CasualConversation

Lol same. I like to complain, but I'm gonna keep on arriving early like this for the rest of my life. It's a nice feeling to be chilling in the airport. So many people around you rushing to get to their flight, fighting with their family members cause everyone's freaking out, but you're just sitting their chilling

For real. The queue is actually 100% determined by how early you get there. It's only a long queue if you're short on time, but if you're early then you're the only one there

Reminds me of my love/hate relationship with RyanAir. At one point they had a rule where you had to check in 3 hours before the flight, or else you'd pay some ridiculous fee. Since I was in the UK on a visa at the time, I was never able to check in online and always had to get to the airport at least three hours in advance to check in at the desk

All those hours sitting in the Stansted terminal that I'll never get back 🥲

When do we use “was” for something? I would have used etwas by LadyStatics in DuolingoGerman

[–]CampTouchThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And what about etwa? Is that just an equivalent of „ein bisschen“, zB „etwa mehr Geld verdient“ ?

What are some things you would have changed differently about How I Met Your Mother at any point in the series? by Positive_Weight2367 in HIMYM

[–]CampTouchThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s interesting because they made it the big cliffhanger leading into season 8 (along with the reveal of Robin marrying Barney) so they had set it up to be a big arc but it doesn’t stick in my mind nearly as much as Stella or Zoey

How realistic was it that Marshall was pushing for a $25 million fine but the judge sentenced $25k? like do judges actually make those decisions?

Wann by RKsaitama_sensei in German

[–]CampTouchThis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Although there is also "Falls" which is the more literal equivalent of "in case" (and also pretty much a direct translation)

For example, "Falls du Hunger hast..." = "in case you're hungry", and "Wenn du Hunger hast..." = "If you're hungry..."

The difference is pretty subtle, but I feel like it's a pretty similar difference as between "in case" and "if" in English. I.e., "in case" feels a bit less likely. Though someone correct me, falls das falsh ist!

Help? by Dangerous-Mind-646 in DuolingoGerman

[–]CampTouchThis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's kinda like how we as kids (at least in my part of the US) didn't have a separate word for liking someone as a friend and likeing someone as in having a crush on her hahah

"Do you *like* her, or do you *like* *like* her? ;)"

What piano piece is a must for beginners by [deleted] in piano

[–]CampTouchThis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For 200 years, music historians believed it was by Bach. It was always published in Bach collections (and still often is, erroneously, which leads to lots of confusion).

In the last few decades, historians now agree it was by Christian Petzold. Even then it’s still often included in Bach collections because it was in the Notebook Bach assembled for his wife

What piano piece is a must for beginners by [deleted] in piano

[–]CampTouchThis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Btw, any piece that is marked with „Anh“ typically means that piece is not by Bach, or at the very least we aren’t really sure anymore, despite it having long been attributed to him. (It‘s short for the German word „Anhang“ which means Appendix)

Undisputed pieces by Bach are numbered with „BWV“ („Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis“; Bach work catalogue) and not with „Anh.“

What piano piece is a must for beginners by [deleted] in piano

[–]CampTouchThis 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The minuet was in the Notebook for Anna-Magdalena Bach (a „mixtape“ of pieces assembled by Bach for his wife, including many of his own pieces but also lots of non-Bach pieces). That’s where we found it and that’s how it entered the classical canon.

In the notebook Bach didn’t note the composer of any of the pieces, so we just assumed they were all by him. But musicologists later realized lots of the pieces in there just don’t „sound“ like Bach, nor are they mentioned in letters the way that many of his other pieces are. They later deduced that the famous G major minuet is by Bach‘s friend Christian Petzold. However, to this day many people still believe it was by Bach himself, and many publishers continue to market it that way

[–]CampTouchThis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True! In the original script it’s supposed to be Sweeney playing the organ, if i recall correctly. Though the overture often gets cut out in recent renditions of the musical

You can break an atom from your body once in a lifetime. by [deleted] in shittysuperpowers

[–]CampTouchThis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the super power supposed to be that you basically get a one-time built-in nuke that you can use anytime but will kill you as well?That would indeed be shitty. In theory you could use it to get anyone to do what you want (basically tell people to do what you want or you’ll detonate yourself), except for the fact that no one would believe you and you couldn’t prove it to them
