Writing a novel and learning German are really the examples of things which are going to haunt me till I'm
done. Either my life will change dramatically and I wouldn't need this to happen, or I will just do them somehow. P.S. Ach, Dornenreich... Der Moment bin Ich in meinem Leben. Der Moment ist Ich in meinem Leben. Gefühl ist Ich in meinem Leben. Der Gedanke ist Ich in meinem Leben. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I have written a small poem in German yesterday and posted in on lang-8 and italki just because I needed a
way to record it. It's small and simple and I even dared to think it was without mistakes. Haha. Not only mistakes were there, but they were corrected differently. For example, I write: Es gibt ein Traum / den ich nicht folgen kann One person fixes: Es gibt ein Traum/ dem ich night folgen kann The other says: Es gibt einen Traum/ den ich nicht folgen kann No comment. Except for one, maybe - I am damned. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

"Es gibt einen Traum, dem ich nicht folgen kann" is the correct version.
Unfortunately, some people aren't able to produce correct accusative endings on words ending with an -n anymore. Usually, the e in the "-en" ending is swallowed in collouquial speech, which produces some sort of "syllabic" n. The aforementioned people, however, are no longer able to distinguish between a syllabic n and a normal n (for which either modern education methods or language change is to blame), so they write "ein", "kein", "sein", "mein", "dein" when it should be "einen", "keinen", "seinen", "meinen", "deinen". For someone who is still able to make this distinction, it simply looks terrible... Edited by Josquin on 08 December 2014 at 8:19pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | |

It sounds like not only Genitiv steps aside, losing to Dativ, but also Akkusativ loses its importance. This does
look terrible, it fixes the word order in "Der Mann isst einen Apfel", for starters. I wonder if such simplification, the tendency to lose cases, even happen to Russian and how, if it happens. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

eure Anteil des täglichen Irrsinns
I don't have time to study anything, but it doesn't mean I am left without languages. Today I nearly missed my bus stop thinking how to write my name in Greek. 
Seems legit? I'd prefer Δάρια, but it would be pronounced as Tharia. No, thanks... Also have written some poetry in Russian. Don't know if it's better than anything I'm capable of achieving in English (surely is in case of German), cause I just don't know if it's any good at all. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I'm not doing anything, but:
Plus Greek keeps knocking to my doors. I've tried to transcribe yet another name (looks much cooler than mine, hehe), and overall the alphabet with its weirdness (I won't ever get how can you have 2 o but no b and d) is tempting me yet again. Also I'm coming close with finishing "The Idiot" (in Russian) and then I want to read something English or German. You'll see why quite soon :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

They don't have a single letter for /g/ either. The corresponding sounds are found in
Ancient Greek, where β/δ/γ indicated b,d and g respectively, but over time these sounds lenited and became the fricatives v, ð, γ. Hence the voiced stops have to be written with compound consonants. In Ancient Greek, the vowel sounds that have now merged were actually different vowel sounds. They had length qualities and so on. It's still visible in loans - where modern Greek pronounces η as i, it's always transcribed with an e in old words. For example πρόβλημα = problema in Ancient Greek (and became problem, probleem, problema and so on in other languages). In Modern Greek it's pronounced provlima due to these regular sound changes.
