    ulalala xDD
    thanx for the link
    but im still thinking that the best way to learn german is...take some classes in you know an institut like ehmmm lets say the Goethe one xDD
    or live in Germany, Austria or Switzerland =)
    so... i'm envying you xD, you must be learning so much (tears)
    i bought a dvd, but it sucks...i just learned the colors, the numbers, the months, and that kind of stuff
    and its kinda difficult cos i dont even speak englisch well, and ehmmm i really like to learn some slangs you know, i learned englisch just watching TV and at the school of course, but what about the german slangs¿??¿?¿?? where i could find them xDDD
    THANX Again FOR THE LINK, I'M GOING TO LEARN SOME STUFF IN THERE =)

    ich würde in Atina leben. ( konj 2, a wish)

    are they correct?
    I would say they're correct. I took two years of german.
    I threw away all my notes, but we learned this I am sure. It would be ist instead of sei. If you mean "I will" then it is ich werde.

    what is 'ihr' how does it differ from 'Sie'

    Du - singular, familiar
    Sie - 1. Formal
    2. Formal/Informal plural

    "ihr" is "you" for informal plural:

    ich-I
    du-you (sing. informal)
    er-he
    sie-she
    es-it
    wir-we
    ihr-you (plural, informal)
    sie-they
    Sie-you (sing. formal)

    Depends on the team, I'd say. Every team has its special songs which the fans sing to encourage their idols.

    hey i was thinking..
    ham = haben
    so you can use "ham" in Sie and Wir only
    or you can use it also with "ich", "er", "du",
    like ich ham...xDDD i dont think so, it sound weird, i've never seen that
    so?

    and kriegen" is a verb right? its "fight", but sometimes i see kriegen = get ¿?

    No, "ich ham" is not correct the formally correct one would be "Ich habe", slang-like: "Ich hab", leaving out the "e" at the end.
    "Du hast" does not have a short form and so does "er/sie/es hat".

    kriegen = get
    bekriegen = fight
    Krieg (noun) = war

    Hello All

    I have a question.

    When a verb has a separable prefix and it is separated from the verb, does it always go to the end of the sentence or clause or are there allowed exceptions? If in song lyrics it is not at the end, is this taking liberties with the rule or is it acceptable in certain cases? If not to the end where should it be placed to avoid confusion?

    do masculine nouns automatically get 'er' or 'es'? and 'sie' for feminine nouns?
