# You are weird.
Although I can't speak any of the languages I think DO sound sexy.

# I heard myself talking german recently
because i had to record my voice for some sort of video to be shown at the psychology ball next week... and I realised how fucking shit my german is. I should listen to myself more when I speak.

I said: "Good evening. How you doing, you sexy bitch/slut?"

# Language question:
Why is it dir instead of du in this context?
(Jeru War and Piss, Thu 26 Jun 2008, 1:40, archived)
# du is personal, dir is more formal?
I haven't done german in quite a while.

# I thought sie was the formal one
Or was it Sie. I could have sworn sie was she they and you formal but I haven't done german in years.

# yup, "Sie" is formal of "du" and "Ihn" is formal of "dir"

# Fucking A, I am captain memory!
It's Sie capitalised as formal and sie lowercase as she and they then?

# yes

# hmm
"dir" means yourself. "du" means "you"

zum Beispiel: "Dir ist eine sexy Schlampe" or "Ich finde dich sexy, du schlampe" or "Du bist eine sexy Schlampe, du verdammte Schlampe"*

*- none of these are necessarily grammatically correct.

# So you can say 'yourself is'
instead of saying 'you are' essentially.

I honestly don't remember ever encountering dir at school, worryingly.

# yes. for example: "Wie geht's dir?" (how are you?)
is answered "Mir geht's gut"
(I helped save b3ta! drbroon abloooobloobloo, Thu 26 Jun 2008, 1:54, archived)
# I've literally only ever heard "Wie geht's?"
Which is "How goes it?" to my knowledge.

Damn German, it's the only language other than English I can speak passably and it's possibly the least impressive sounding.

# If I remember correctly
you use dir or du with written correspondence, since just 'wie geht's' is quite informal.
You could argue that b3ta is essentially just a conversation, though.

# Well, at least you give them a choice. It would be insulting not to.
