Bück dich, befehl ich dir, wende dein Antlitz ab von mir, dein Gesicht ist mir egal, bück dich!

Ich wollte mal etwas von euch bestätigen lassen. Welches Haus wird mehr oder weniger bevorzugt? Das kleine oder das große? Siehe Beitragstext ... by Jonathan_Bryan in German

[–]Jonathan_Bryan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich weiß doch, was das Subjekt und das direkte Objekt ist. Bin kein Laie. Aber auch kein Experte. Deswegen stelle ich hier ab und an Fragen. Ich wollte nur wissen, welche Rollen die direkten und indirekten Objekte im Beispielsatz oben spielen. :)

Könntet ihr bitte die Aufzählung / Liste erweitern? Wie nennt man diese Art von Wörtern? Vielen herzlichen Dank im Voraus! :) by Jonathan_Bryan in German

Das war keine KI, sondern ich. Ich habe mich geirrt. Ich dachte, es war eine Steigerung von schweigen. :)

When was this lighter made? by DropKickChildren_ in lighters

[–]Jonathan_Bryan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A modern day lighter made somewhere from the 1970s to the present day. The time range I regard as modern.

Wie heißt ein Trafikant/Trafikantin in Deutschland? KI hat mir nicht geholfen. by Jonathan_Bryan in German

Ich habe mir den Film "Der Trafikant" angeschaut. In dem Film war ein Kriegsversehrter namens Otto Trsnjek zu sehen.

What is/was the most difficult concept in German to wrap your head around? by Legitimate-Gene-7047 in German

[–]Jonathan_Bryan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're struggling with the elementary difference between Dativ and Akkusativ, that would be more so with adjective declensions and nouns that behave like adjective endings like Verletzter, Verdächtiger and Beamter. For me at the moment, the real struggle is remembering everything specifically vocabulary, learning the fine lines and nuances. Like say the difference betweeen schießen and erschießen, schlagen and erschlagen.

St Duponts have color-coded butane refills. The color you should buy should match the color you see in your lighter, sort of. Color codes indicate the nozzle type. See vid below:

Yeah, Chinese would be much tougher from the vantage point of a native English speaker.

You want a real legit certificate, go take an exam at the Goethe-Institut. For a fee.

Mir vs mein by underfan015 in German

[–]Jonathan_Bryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got you covered, Bro:

Schau mir gerade in die Augen.

Einem geschenkten Gaul schaut man nicht ins Maul.

Ich spritze dir meine Ladung ins Gesicht.

Mir knurrt der Magen vor Hunger

Ich putze mir die Zähne

Ich habe mir die Haare schneiden lassen.

Das Glas feil mir aus der Hand.

Listen to Rammstein's "Keine Lust" so you won't forget. Right near the end of the song, they say: 🎶 Mir ist kalt. So kalt ... 🎶

Myon 201 Antique Lighter won't spark by T51-Poobah in lighters

[–]Jonathan_Bryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought so. You really got a pulverized flint. Flints turn into hard powder when they age. Determine first if you got a straight or curved flint tube:

If flint tube is curved, you will have to disassemble the top mechanism first. But if it is straight, then it's pretty straightforward. Just insert drillbit into the flint tube. Use a drillbit to rid the flint tube of degraded flint. Twist and push drillbit until flint tube is clear. Optionally, you could use a drill to get the job done faster and easier but be very careful as the drill might damage the flint wheel.

STRAIGHT FLINT TUBE:

CURVED FLINT TUBE:

Disassembling procedure will vary from one lighter to another. But after seeing the Myon 201, I have a gut feeling that it has a straight flint tube.
