Couldn't he mean gender as in gender/sex and sex as in sexual encounter because then no

Does German have separate words for gender and sex or does Geschlecht mean both?

Nope; it means both

10°C in southern Germany: Ugh kind of chilly outside, better get my coat

10°C in northern Germany: HELGE GET THE TOWEL IT'S SUMMER TIME

It's actually the other way around because southern germany has the SCHWARZWALD and the SCHWÄBISCHE ALB and its cold af here ok. Take the smol city FURTWANGEN in the SCHWARZWALD, the students there have two wintersemesters

Reblog if English isn't your native language

[narestudyblryan]

I don't know / ich weiß es nicht

How do you say “I don't know” in your native language or the language you are learning?

[narestudyblryan]

If I could offer a young person advice about anything it would be do NOT make life decisions based on your boyfriend or girlfriend. Girls especially. Do NOT stay close to home for him, do not skip opportunities to travel or study abroad, do not pick a safe college to be with him. Expand your horizons. Broaden your own life. He is not the world.

Lesson 4. Korean Pronouns

• I 나 - Casual 저 - More formal

We use 저 when we are speaking to strangers, in formal situation or to elder person while 나 is used when talking to a person like our friend or someone younger than us.

• You 당신 - Most formal (use with stranger or person you don’t know well) 너 - More casual

• He - 그 • She - 그녀 • We - 우리

*Making Pronouns Plural: Add ~들 to the end of a word, it’s that simple (so far) Examples They (male ♂) - 그들 They (female ♀) - 그녀들

*The pronouns never are written alone, we add these particles: 은 - for pronouns with ending consonant 는 - for pronouns with ending vowel

I - 나는 / 저는 You - 당신은 / 너는 He - 그는 She - 그녀는 We - 우리는 You (plural) - 당신들은 They (male) - 그들은 They (female) - 그녀들은

anyone have a good way to remember these?

[narestudyblryan]

Also, Chantal can be used ad insult too. The Movie 'Fack ju Göhte' had a character called Chantal and she is the perfect cliché of the girls that are referred to as 'Assi'. She starts crying in class and the teacher says 'Chantal' and she is like 'Huuuh?', hoping he will comfort her but he just says 'cry silent' becausr he is concentrated on his advertement newspaper thing. This became a running gag because the movie was very famous. Another name that has the status of someone not so intelligent is Mandy, because a lot of girls in the DDR were called Mandy snd thr DDR had a bad image compared to western Germany.

Why/how is "Kevin" and insult in Germany? I don't get it.

it’s just the common believe among us all that all ppl called Kevin (or chantal) are not so intelligent humans
