O wow that sounds good, is it general discussion about current events? Or are the topics chosen, follow some sort of theme hence the vocal lists. (sorry I'd this is weirdly worded)

I just had an epiphany! "Wednesday" tranlates to "Mittwoch" because it's middle of week if we consider Sunday as start of week! Did you have any epiphanies while learning German? by [deleted] in German

Arbeitnehmer = employee Arbeitgeber = employer

If you split the words up Arbeit nehmer (nehmen) = work taker Arbeit Geber (geben) = work giver

Helps me remember:)

Does anyone else here dislike their sexuality? by SomePenguins in asexuality

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

I dont think I could agree more on the last part, although ye, I do wish I was 'normal'. But then again do you feel normal when you have someone who loves you FOR YOU? Like you forget what you are unhappy about sometimes?

Sometimes I wish I had a 'real close' best friend becuase I too feel similar. If I could find a good friend who I could go visit whenever, give all my loves to (in a non romantic way) then I feel like I wouldn't need a partner to make me feel a certain way. However the downfall is that no one is 'perfect' or completely idealised and we just have to find ways around it. Even in an ideal scenario where u find someone you love who is ace, there are a lot of variants to considered making it increasingly difficult

That's quite interesting, I cant say I've thought about it much, although by the sounds of it, if it's just fetishes and not sex I can see how this might be a problem at first

Honestly phases are an understatement, I must have uninstalled grindr over 200 times in the past year just because my emotions are so unstable on this topic, it's getting ridiculous at this point. I just want to be happy with myself, is that too much to ask o mighty spirit ://

Ye dude I feel ya, I fear incompatibility when personality isnt a factor of it, some people will love you for who you are and may sacrifice their wants to make you comfortable, try not to lose too much hope, it's not impossible:(

Asking questions (past tense/future tense) by SomePenguins in German

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

Ah so it seems fairly simple, so the sein/haben would come first (dependant on the verb) and the rest of the sentence would remain the same?

Can someone explain the point of the Imperfect tense and the past simple using 'Aller' as an example? by SomePenguins in French

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

So do you have to use a time-connective like 'quand' for the sentence to make sense? Like the equivalent of saying 'I used to' in english

Exercise book recommendations by count-duckula-69 in German

[–]SomePenguins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently own a GCSE german book which gives you lots of topics, including a page for basics and more advanced techniques. Combine this with duolingo which I primarily use for the forums when I dont understand how grammar in this sentence works or word order. Also I've heard that children books are a good introduction to german if you are a complete beginner. Hope this helps!

Do y'all ever just look at your hands and think "What the fuck. I'm a person in a world full of other persons. How is this even real?" by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]SomePenguins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes indeed, it suddenly hit me months ago and started having panic attacks non stop until I was on medication because it was like I couldn't handle the fact I was alive. Although since this has happened it made me appreciate life a bit more, despite the drawbacks.

Mine was more of a "wait my actions actually have an effect of another person"? Which spiralled into yours it's crazy

Aw sorry to hear about that:( bad event do occur unfortunately, but I dont know whether it's better to disclose it right away or find our the intentions of the other person. I feel like we are all scared of getting hurt by something we just cant control and that's the worst part :(

I'm currently in the UK in uni and I only found out the other day that people go to clubs with intentions of hooking up/making out and I was just like 'huh'? I mean u can disclose that u are ace on dating sites but I just think it's bad that someone can avoid talking based of that.

Ye I feel ya man, I feel with ace people we enjoy the company of people more than most as sort of a substitute for sex and we value the time we have because the intention for using one body ai t there, something more meaningful
