My eyes... How do you even pronounce these?

My eyes... How do you even pronounce these?

Let's just take the first one as example; Grundstücksverkehrsgenehmigungszuständigkeitsübertragungsverordnung. In English you'd pronounce it sort of like Groond-shtuek-faer-kaehrs-gae-neh-mee-goongs-tsu-shtaen-dikh-kites-ueber-trahgoongs-far-ord-noong.

Or something.
note that any of the R's isn't spoken like the English one, rather like a Spanish or Slavic one
as well I tried to describe ü/ä/ö with ue/ae/oe because neither of these letters have a sound equivalent to them in English

 

[Honest]

Okay, clearly not going to take German anytime soon. O.O

 

[Khilia]

Russian can be even worse then it comes to pronunciation, although it definitely doesn't have such long words; this is the longest official one: человеконенавистничество (chelovekonenavistnichestvo), which means misanthropy.

Aber die meisten Wörter sind nicht so lang. Sie sind etwas eingefädelt, unnatürlich. Wie ein Zungenbrecher. Man will nicht in Alltagsleben diesen Wörter sprechen.

See what I mean? Most of the words aren't that hard.

could you repeat that? I don't think I got that :p

Well in all seriousness it isn't that hard. Like antidisestablishmentarianism is pretty annoying, but you can break it down into anti-dis-establish-ment-arian-ism…

although Russian can have longer word roots on paper because of the whole soft-and-hard you need two letters for thing, but they're all pretty much the same length.

 

[disciplish]

I think... I think I'll just stick to French. Or Spanish. Spanish is nice. We don't get any large words or anything, so y'know.

OK. I want to learn German even more now... only 1 week left until my first class starts.

 

[Alexander Nicholi]

Guys, I had a dream last night that I got a warning on PC. It was horrible D:. Like, I wanted to cry. ;_;

 

[Gabri]

I find it hard to believe that even a German person can pronounce such words.
I'll be even more surprised if any of these can be pronounced in one breath.

 

[Sir Codin]

I've gotten warnings before. Don't let it ruin your life.

 

[droomph]

I've gotten warnings before. Don't let it ruin your life.

It's a tough life after you get out, man. Nobody trusts you anymore, you can't get a job…it's horrible. Don't let it happen to you.

 

[Alexander Nicholi]

I've gotten warnings before. Don't let it ruin your life.

On another forum the staff there just handed out warnings and infractions like candy, plus they hated me because of 'shipping bias, so I racked up close to 200 warnings and 80 infractions before I left.

I'm a good little boy on PC. Clean slate for me, oh yes!~

 

[Sableye~]

I have yet to be warned/infracted on PC. I've been kicked off of #tradecorner a couple of times, but that's it. One of those occasions was actually because I was being Mac's guinea pig and testing to make sure that the bot was kicking for the right words.

 

[droomph]

I've gotten about 10 warnings and 1 'frac because I'm a little buttonhole sometimes :x

 

[Tsutarja]

To be honest, as a moderator, handing out infractions/warnings is one of the things I dislike having to do the most.

 

[Nathan]

I've gotten like 2 warnings on here. Both are expired now though.

 

[Hiatus]

I've never gotten any warnings or infractions on here, thankfully. I'm usually pretty careful about what I do and try not to mess anything up, so… yeah.

 

[Sableye~]

I've been kicked off other websites so many times. Spamming, banhopping, trolling,...I was a pain to deal with. The staff never bothered to check my IP, so I just kept on banhopping.

 

[Honest]

I had a track record when I joined. I also have a reversed infraction from not too long ago, because SOMEONE was having too much fun.

 

[Sableye~]

I'm sensing some passive aggression behind that post, Dipu. [;
