thomas, you're a loser.






>der Bass
>das Drum n Bass (but, I think I've never said a sentence that actually had an article in front of dnb)
>der Funk
>der Step

and yeah...probably
>das Massive

I don't know it's weird to put German articles in front of English words. I think 'massive' I've only used with indefinite articles which would be 'ein' which makes it unclear as to if it's der or das. But it's das.

oh whatever i just woke up

[miromi]

wouldn't d+b therefore´be der D+b(der Drum +bass)

shrug, if you are purist, then never use cognates, but realize that German has absorbed thousands of french/ roman/spanish, russian, turkish words and will continue to do so (my teacher said that "weisst du" comes from Turkish!)

i am also confused about salsa. Das Salsa?

[geek]

der Salsa

I'm confused about dnb now.
and nah I wasn't dissing English words or something it's just that...Massive for example...I've never heard a person that doesn't have something to do with jungle actually say that word in Germany.

[JVXP]

It's der Salsa.

And yes, I've heard people say das Massive. And it sounds OK for me.

And Miromi is probably right with der Drum & Bass.

I think it is hard, because it isn't a subject, but two words. It would be easy if it was seperate.

"Die Drums/Die Trommel" (there is no singular for "Drum" ??? Oder doch die Drum) und "der Bass".

Oh gosh..........I never used "das Massive", i use "die Massive. I would use the article "das" concerning the word DnB.........But nobody asks me!

[polarity]

das vibrieren
die vibration
der vibrator

[miromi]

ya i mean, i know there are more important things going on in the world, but little things like this make me crazy from curiosity

now i know how to say a "vibrating junglist massiv" auf Deutsch but that conjures up a rather lurid image oder

sag hallo dem vibrierenden steppenden massiv!!!!

I believe, this was meant to be a joke (if you were not kidding at us, anyway), as many Turkish people in Germany loves to start or end their sentences with "weisst Du" .

Das Massive - something proper
Die Massiven - proper people

[Valerian]

somehow all musical styles are male in german:

der techno
der house
der jungle
der tango

[Turrican]

die Volksmusik

Actually, it should be "die Massive", because "Massive" refers to a group of people and "Gruppe" is femal in German.

Jup!

But not really. Think for a moment and follow my line of thought - you will find out that it is perfectly logical. *protz*

I don't want to think about this crap any longer
I'm totally through with it.
I'm completely done.

...and confused

END.

*Harrrr* My plan is working...

[geek]

you don't look as evil as you actually are.

I AM THE PURE MANIFESTATION OF EVIL, CONJURED DIRECTLY FROM THE NINTH HELL OF CONFUSION!!!



Damn, I have been discovered...

[geek]

and here, children, you can see the side effects of the deadly mixture of too many b-movies and cocaine.

*sniff*

o na my teacher had a book saying weisst du comes from turkish. i thought it came from english. i will try to find the book since if i just talk out my ass it will be unsubstantianted. i like all the little slang words people have. my boyfriend is berliner so he confuses me too. all the "ick" instead of ich.

i talked to the linguist a my company and he said germany generally assigns the same gender to cognates that the german equivalent has for that word. so it is "das Handy" because it is also "das Telefon"

so i would guess "der Step" would be so because you say "der Schritt" like "der Salsa Schritt" right?

another weird thing is i never knew why light (licht) in english is the same as the word light (leicht) in english. but if you look at the german it is obvious what could have happened

[Valerian]

italian: caldo = "heiss" (german)
but
german: "kalt" = "fredo (italian)
and
german: "heiss" = "hot" (english)
but
english: "hot" also "scharf" (german)
and
german : "scharf" also "sharp" (english)

you know, its good for the development of intellectual skills, when children grow up with two mothertonques...but guess what: recent studies say, that growing up with three different languages has an inhibting effect on all three of these, so that children never learn any of these languages properly......I know why (see top).....

[geek]

well i can understand why but...i don't think that it happens all too often that a child actually grows up with three different languages at once.

I knew a German chick from Hamburg who grew up with Chinese (cantonese) and Vietnamese and German all at once just fine.

it was interesting because she said being trilingual is normal in east Asia but it doesn#t have the same association with intelligence and upper classedness that it does in the west. people don't perceive speaking 3 languages as something a smart person does, it's just something people do because everyone does it.

but anyway, now we move on to jamaican or jamaican brit english. so like, reggae is feminine since it is reggae (-musik)
