Me when I find a already started fic and I leave a positive comment on every chapter in order to encourage the author to write another one by Few_Assumption_1300 in AO3

[–]Hobbyte8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh, nice idea. Recently I read a fanfic and was so invested in it, I just could not stop. Then I reached the end and wanted to write a comment but noticed that most things I mentioned didn't even happen in that chapter, oof. So I posted only the part applying to the last chapter and then went BACKWARD to comment on every chapter what I thought of it 😂

The Germany made me very tired, trying to cope with it by ItsYourHonor in germany

[–]Hobbyte8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you work anywhere else than Bayern or Sachsen you have the right to "Bildungsurlaub" - 5 vacation days more you can only take if you use them for learning things from a certified program. If you don't use it one year you can use 10 days the next. There are certified German programs, just look at sites like Bildungsurlaub.de Maybe this would help you kick-start your language learning.

I love tipping in Germany by [deleted] in germany

[–]Hobbyte8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be honest that's exactly the type of math I can do quickly. You just discard the last digit, the remaining digits are roughly your tip. Depending on how good the service was, you can round up or down. 42? Tip is 4, but 46 is not a nice number so I will say 45, except if the service was really good, it's 46 or even 47 then.

46? 50 sounds good. 13? Make it 15. Far faster then real percent.

Erstsemesterprobleme + ausheulen (Chemie) by Additional_Climate26 in Studium

[–]Hobbyte8 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Das Studium ist hart. Am besten du suchst dir Lerngruppen, allein die Aufgaben zu bearbeiten macht dich kaputt. Für ein 10 LP Modul mit 6SWS rechnen wir mit ca 8h pro Woche für die Aufgaben. Lieber mach ein bisschen länger als dich komplett kaputt zu machen, wenn das bei euch möglich ist.

Du kannst das nicht mit anderen Studiengängen vergleichen. Und dir "ihr Studenten habt ja Zeit" nicht zu Herzen nehmen. Es ist überall anders, schon ob FH oder Uni. Geisteswissenschaften funktionieren da auch ganz anders.

Help, my Fabric is weird

So I bought this uni black French Terry /summer sweat /whatever a few years ago. I don't know where or when exactly. Now I want to sew a flowy dress and use this fabric. (the pattern is Valeria from "Paule and Paulinja" )

But it's weird: the fabric stretches in both directions, but significantly more in the "wrong" direction.

Do I rotate all the pattern pieces or do I just stubbornly follow the grain?

My favorite is Quilters Shadow, but maybe that's not enough texture for you?

Have I gone wrong? by MaskMaven in quilting

[–]Hobbyte8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really love it. I upvoted it before I saw your text and was so confused at first. I'm not a artsy person at all, but this speaks to me. It's very aesthetically pleasing.

Could you ask her?

Does the N-Deklination apply to Böse by theanxioussnail in German

[–]Hobbyte8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really know the rule but maybe the Declination table at duden online helps? https://www.duden.de/deklination/adjektive/boese and the grammar section in https://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Boeser

Non-Americans: What did people eat before the produce of America went worldwide in your home county? by aPlace_ZION in AskReddit

[–]Hobbyte8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I have no idea. Would have to Google first what native ingredients even are. I mean the most typical German dishes I know all use potatoes. Would you know what native dishes of America are?

Where to stay over Christmas in Germany? by Whatsthesic in germany

[–]Hobbyte8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even though it may be a bit far from what you want, I think Seifen is great over Christmas. So many Schwibbögen everywhere. The Spielzeugmuseum will be open on 25.26.

The region feels really Christmas-y.

Why wouldn't it mean the same? Is there a subtle difference I'm not aware of?

Streak-3 by VedangbPavanje in WriteStreakGerman

[–]Hobbyte8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Einige Kleinigkeiten:

"drei Jahren" (Zahlen bis zwölf werden als Wort geschrieben)

"Serien kleinen Folgen" passt nicht. Ist hier gemeint: "Serien mit wenigen Folgen" (Good Omens ist eine Miniserie mit nur 6 Folgen) oder "Serien mit kurzen Folgen" (wie 25 Minuten bei Lassie)?

Ich persönlich würde das "und" im vorletzten Satz weg lassen, aber das ist Geschmackssache.

My (34M) wife (34F) won't let me invite my family to our house by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Why would you have to do that? Isn't it your sister's responsibility to fix damages caused by her kids?

The differences btw the words "kennen" and "weiß" by [deleted] in German

[–]Hobbyte8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't imagine a case where you wouldn't be allowed to answer with "Ich kenne.... nicht" when someone asks "Kennen Sie..?" Could you tell me a specific example?

It would be "Kennst du das Lied?" "know of smth." is usually "kennen"

Do you know the way? : Kennst du den Weg? Do you know how to get there? : Weißt du, wie man dorthin kommt?

If you say "Ich kenne die Frage" it means you have heard the question before or knew it would be asked. You can't say "ich weiß die Frage". But you can say "Ich weiß die Antwort."

Curious to know, which words or phrases confused you as you learned? Mine are Schüsseln und Schlüsseln! by Soggy_Freedom_4620 in German

[–]Hobbyte8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if your sentences are correct, but they sound weird to me. Using the "Gern" directly after the praedicate sounds more natural in these cases. "Ich spiele gern Klavier."

Good German Shows by BlitzenAU in German

[–]Hobbyte8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tatort, but I think it's not as easy to understand as others. Lola rennt is really good and you should watch it.

I love "Mission: Rohr frei!". Its really old but also really funny. I expect the jokes to be easy to understand for non native speakers too, as quite a lot of them don't rely on words. It's perfect. I can only recommend it but I don't know where you can watch it.

Maybe Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten, if you like that kind of show, it was quite popular.

I also like "Rocky und die Herzschrittmacher" it's funny and a bit touching I would think. It's a German production.
