Which one - the sunshine or the pricked ears?

Lucy · « **Reply #521 on:** April 09, 2013, 09:11:17 am »

Oh!

I didn't even notice the pricked ears. What does it mean?

Markus · « **Reply #522 on:** April 09, 2013, 10:13:24 am »

Ooops, Lucy,

seems I messed up two figures of speech. What I meant to say is "Stay strong and well, don't let anything drag you down". But that's correctly expressed as "Keep your chin up!". In German we have the saying "Halt die Ohren steif!" for the same, and that's literally "Keep your ears pricked".

Apparenly, this is also of interest for our Regina Mala Germanonecarica.

Anyway, we're having a cloudy but bright day. No sunshine, but when you go out you still get a good dose of daylight.

Cheers!

There's a major bug on the weather program. It's snowing in the middle of April.

Not unsual in Canada, imho!

Sorry, mate,

I told the weather guys they could send our snow and frost to Canada - I had forgotten you're still there...

Cheers, anyway!

My Deutsch teacher told us temperatures higher of 20 are expected in Germany...

Markus · « **Reply #527 on:** April 11, 2013, 10:41:06 pm »

Yeah. Either indoors, when you put on the heating, or on a single sunny afternoon in mid-July.

Nah, I heard the same and I do want some warmer weather at last.

(Yeah, that was really me saying that!)

Cheers!

Indeed, we're having spring-weather!

It's warmer, sunnier - and for the first time since months I've seen cumulus clouds, which make the sky look much more summerly than that uniform flat cover we used to have for ages.

Cheers!

Blue, cloudless, warm day here.

Why am I at home studying German, right now? What have to do the Perfekt with enjoying that lovely day?

Markus · « **Reply #531 on:** April 13, 2013, 09:53:48 am »

You could be on the beach, studying German.

Luth · « **Reply #532 on:** April 13, 2013, 09:54:57 am »

In fact, very soon it would be pretty easy: I won't need any book or notebook to study, only the chance to spot some German here and there and start talking with him/her.

Markus · « **Reply #533 on:** April 13, 2013, 11:45:56 am »

You could talk about the weather with them. We could gather a lot of specific meteorological terms so you can scare them, my evil queen.

BTW, I'm withdrawing my praise for our local weather because thick clouds have rolled in.

Cheers, anyway!

Jetz I'm in der Zug. Ich sehe a lot of Leute in the beach!

We're at 24°

Btw... The Lektion we are doing right now is about weather

Markus · « **Reply #535 on:** April 13, 2013, 12:28:40 pm »

Is it?

So let me tell you some important weather vocabulary:

Das ist doch kein Wetter mehr! - It's too cold and too wet for this time of year!
Dieses Sauwetter geht mir auf den Geist! - I would prefer some warmer and sunnier weather!
Scheiß Regen! - It's raining too much for my personal taste!

Cheers!

Hey folks,

we're having the strangest weather. There's a bright hot thing in the sky that lights up the whole landscape and makes it warm outdoors.

Dunno what that is, but it might be dangerous: I saw a guy with a burnt neck today who said he'd been exposed to the rays of that hot bright thing.

Cheers!

Markus

Luth · « **Reply #537 on:** April 15, 2013, 07:23:28 pm »

Do not expose yourself too much to that bright thing from the sky... or you'll end up as so many English and German people in my town, who expose themselves without any brain to it, and they turn walking tomatoes

Markus · « **Reply #538 on:** April 15, 2013, 07:48:55 pm »

I knew that thing is dangerous!

Markus · « **Reply #539 on:** April 21, 2013, 11:07:33 pm »

Today was sunny and warm enough so I could do the long doggie walk short-sleeved at last!
