just a quickie..... to say.. it has now been proven, they do have a word for all. yesterday i was called a lichtanlasse which means a person who leaves the lights on when he leaves a room.
had fun with a new word yesterday. chatzchen. i heard it on 'The Nanny" and was embarrassing my friend Bert by calling the dog he is minding, by this in public (ok not so public as its really really gay to say this. and i dont need the advertising)
Chatz is kind of like darling, or sweetie.. and when you wan to make it cute or suck uppy you can say Chatzie. the suffix of 'chen" means a little one or little of whatever you put before it.. so chatzchen means little darling but you could possibly say it to a little girl and get away with it, but to a dog is totally Tunte (Gay) hahaha. there goes my butch image.
you can imagine the fun i have teasing Bert with this.. walking in the park with the dog.. shaved head, alpha bomber jacket and cammos on.... looking butch as i can..and yelling out Kom Chatchen to the dog in a gay voice. of course i only do this when no one is around. dont want to embarrass myself now do i.
cant wait to use it on Andreas. he is taller than me and the look on his face when i call him this will be priceless, especially since he doesnt know i know this word.
i think my german sentances are becoming more complex which is good, although i am usually totally stuffed when there are 3 verbs in a sentance. although remembering the 2nd verb goes to the end, is usually the tricky part and you must plan th sentance in yur head first before you say. usually when i forget or make a mistake, i know it the second i say it.. and then its a case of am i bothered to say it again but correctly or just let it stad and use the "outsider" card and they know i dont speak correct german so dont need to repeat it when they understand what i meant anyway.
Sometimes, i find, the german grammar comes when in english writing. This becomes confusing making. ARRRRRRGLE !!!
Its been raining for a few days so have been inside a lot.. so i think im becoming stir-crazy... (nah-ha-ha) can you tell??
but after some showers today, i can see blue sky again...and they sun is peaking out.. so hoping it will get better. checked the weather today for here and sydney and its colder here, and sydney is going into winter...sigh..
anyway... best i get back to doing nothing.. well playing sims2 and i had 2 people die on me yesteray.. so sad... now the 20 somethings brother and sister must learn to fend for themselves.. its like my own soap opera.. ok i cant undertsand what they say but same goes for the tv here so at least i can interact with it and tell them what to do.... tee hee. Bert has also become a fan of the game and is busy building a house.... funny to see how European his design is.. picture shown above
speaking of which.. checked out the big brother australia site as it started just after i left.. cant believe in just 31 days they have lost 1/2 the prize money in house fines. i dont even know any of the housemates but seems already there is controversy.. about a swearing housemate says the australian news page. god i must be bored.. lach.
