Thanks Aleks, nice looking word! ["Unkostenbeitrag"] I'll probably end up not using it too often because it's kind of context-bound and this sort of context is rather rare. Nevertheless, I'll try as often as I can...

Words like "oberaffengeil" (spelling?!), "hammermäßig" (ditto) and "voll fetthomie" (?!) are easier to use -- you can just insert them randomly in any sentence.

Btw. I'm looking for cool looking words in German*! If you have any, donate them to Anna!

*or actually any other random language will do

Armin · « **Reply #1 on:** 2007-02-13 10:00:19 »

The first two are spelled correctly, but what is the third supposed to be? "Voll fett, Homie"? If you ever intend to say that, a Gothic party is the wrong place for you. Exchange your skirt for baggy-style jeans... no, please don't. Those people use words like "megafette-polyphon-affengeil-spritzfaktoreinhundert-ständermäßig-geile-jambagangstuh klingeltöne" (I googled...)

Try "rattenscharf", or combine "ober-", "hammer-", "super-", "mega-" (almost; Google for the frequency of any combination) freely with "-geil", "-scharf". It all relates to sexuality in some way.

Anna · « **Reply #2 on:** 2007-02-13 10:10:56 »

The last one was supposed to be an adjective... Well, what am I to say then? I'm not goth but existentialist... Should I then go like this: "wuaaaaaa!" or something?

Than you for these wonderful really cheesy words! "megafette-polyphon-affengeil-spritzfaktoreinhundert-ständermäßig-geile-jambagangstuh" is great but I think "rattenscharf" will be my word of the week! Btw.
I really like "mit" and the abbreviation "bzw.". I try to use these two as often as I can

Armin · « **Reply #3 on:** 2007-02-13 10:13:30 »

Existentialists naturally use superlatives with a relative clause "was es gibt": "Die krasseste Party, die es gibt." Underlines its existence

Kilian · « **Reply #4 on:** 2007-02-13 10:15:19 »

Here are some cool-looking, cool-sounding, cool-meaning German words:

arglistig

blitzartig

Differenzialgetriebe

einander

erbost

fürbass

Gefängnis

Geheimnis

jäh

kafkaesk

Krautfaß [AR]

lapidar
listig

Milchkammern

Nekropole

Reminds me too much of the Junk Generator we wanted to program in our second or third semester, when Dale and others always were telling about grammars generating junk. Several approaches to this already exist on the web.

Anna · « **Reply #6 on:** 2007-02-13 17:35:02 »

Kilian, I think I'll make a poster and print them out

don't know how to thank you! I have no idea what some of them mean but I've got the most amazing dictionary ever and hopefully it has some (parts) of them

Otherwise I'll just randomly approach native speakers of German

First the existence than the essence, so it would be more like "Es gibt eine Party, die krasseste." what actually doesn't sound like very bad German

And I'm sorry for the OT...

Armin · « **Reply #7 on:** 2007-02-13 17:43:55 »

Keeps the discussion alive, at least. Poor forum...

aleks · « **Reply #8 on:** 2007-02-13 17:46:33 »

Why? Semester's ending soon, nobody wants to deal with university stuff...

@Anna,
No, I'm not a native speaker, but to me it sounds like bad German... or even like: Sematicist's type of bad German, where you try to make the existential quantifier explicit...

There are some additions:

Ungeschlacht (warum bewegest Du Dich denn so ungeschlacht?), Ungetüm ("Zu Hülf! Welch schauderlich Ungetüm nahet uns zu gar finstrer Stund!"), abartig ("hey, alter... voll abartiges Zeug, ey") erzürnt (as a counterpart to "erbost"), eine Windbö (Johannes will be glad to give an example, I'm sure. Btw, Johannes, do you happen to know some further funny technical maritime terms?) etc...

Have to make a real list sometime...

johannes · « **Reply #9 on:** 2007-02-13 18:01:35 »

nicest thing about German are verbal prefixes:

stören --> verstören, entstören, zerstören
kommen -> abkommen, ankommen, aufkommen, entkommen, ..., überkommen, unterkommen, verkommen, vorkommen, zukommen

Just imagine - what do those have to do with each other.

And I'd really like to see some explicit semantics of ER- and BE- as well as VER- one day.

Some of my all-time German favourites:

Gestalt
Wendung
Vorhang
Anhang
obsiegen
obwalten
Mürbeteig
Grabmal
Dünkel
Urgrund
Abgrund
grundlos
unergründlich

Kilian · « **Reply #10 on:** 2007-02-13 18:08:17 »

Wonderful! Speaking of words like ungeschlacht and erzürnt:

Anna · « **Reply #12 on:** 2007-02-13 19:09:38 »

It's like the good old days in high school! We used to have lists of 250-400 words in German we had to learn in a week. But it was fun

As soon as I'm done with this week's exams (Friday) I'll start learning them by heart. Big thanks to all of you guys!

You make my linguistic life seem interesting

Armin: this forum is not poor! It has us! Besides, if we keep it alive till the new students arrive, we can more easily force them to use it

Aleks: "doesn't sound like very bad German"

I never said it was good German...

I'll add one from Spanish, my absolute favorite: arco iris (rainbow)
and in Eng.: auxiliary
today in IB: ideationistischer Liberalismus
Try speaking the last two out loud, really fast... "Auxiliary" was a killer in my last semester's syntax class. We actually tried to find out who can speak it out fast at a random moment (out professor won). That's why I got really good at pronouncing it

Armin · « **Reply #13 on:** 2007-02-13 22:09:14 »

"probably", "probability", and "probabilistically" give good exercises for lip-tongue coordination.

Some of my favorites in German: Vernunft (from "vernehmen"?), wider-/abspenstig, schick ("schickes Outfit"; the word was borrowed to French for several centuries but decided to come back)

Well, next time I'll say it loud and clear: to me it sounds like wrong German... like, somebody getting drunk before the party and then announcing it...

It runs smoothly with Wine.

Liebe B., bei dir kommt im Deutschen zuviel Müll heraus, inklusive Blasenkatarr, Satanas und Kanalratte. Das "Beranken des Traualtars" ist noch das sinnvollste, das ich gefunden habe, aber wer soll diese Liste durchforsten? Lauter "Abstrakta"!

Und Kilian ist echt nicht gut dran. Ich glaube, deine Eltern hätten dich anders genannt, wenn sie ein Anagrammprogramm gehabt gehabt hätten.

Don't bother using wine for this piece of commercial bloatware

there's a UNIX/Linux command-line tool called 'an'.

On Gentoo, run:

Code: [Select]

emerge -va anon *buntu and debian , run:

Code: [Select]

apt-get an
didn't test the last command myself but should work.

if you are using an rpm-based distro, that's your fault... go find a repo

you can specify dict-files on the command-line, so generating anagrams for every language (even your own

) is possible

Kilian · « **Reply #30 on:** 2007-02-19 02:33:50 »

Come on, they're upright citizens pursuing the Amercian dream! We should help them get rich.

Besides, their software comes with a part-of-speech-tagged dictionary and ranks the anagrams by supposed grammaticality. Isn't that seductive? Thanks for hinting to an anyway, seems to be a nice tool.

... but... if I'm again the one to install it...

try searching for such stuff with the package managers. Synaptic actually looks into the descriptions as well, so just search for 'anagram'.

By the way, why did Kilian not run into the same problems... Kilian?

Kilian · « **Reply #33 on:** 2007-04-27 23:22:10 »

Oh, that! The correct command to run on Ubuntu is
