I don't feel very much like writing in complete sentences. So I won't.
Grocery shopping this morning!
rainy, cloudy, coldest day so far. It was even sleeting on and off.

Met our second teacher for the sprache kurs. She is a super hippie and she said herself that she is sympathetic towards us, aka she will be lenient in grading and helping us learn.

I am very thankful for that because in the last hour of class we started grammer.
 Futur II case to be exact.

It goes like this.
to say something to the effect of: He will take a test.
You use the conjugated verb werden to act as the word "will" and then you use the past participle of the verb they would you for "to take a test" which is simply the word "schreiben" which means "write" because is Germany, you write a test, not take a test.

so:  He takes a test    = Er schreibt eine Pruefung.
       He will take a test  = Er WIRD eine Pruefung SCHREIBEN.

Now to say " He will have taken a test" - which is something I don't find particularly useful in everyday conversation, you have to use:
 form of werden + past participle or schreiben + the infinitive of the helping verb, haben.

so: He will have taken a test = Er wird eine Pruefung geschreiben haben.

But then it gets really tricky, because not only is this an odd case to use, but Additionally, it's ONLY used when you are SURMISING/GUESSING.

So if you are 100% sure that this random guy you know took a test, then you wouldn't even want to use this case in the first place. Then you would probably want to use the passive form!

And passive gets uebelkompliziert (aka more than "most complicated") because you have an extra verb thrown in, which is the past particple of werden, known as "worden"

So: The test will have been written by him =
                   Die Pruefung WIRD von ihm GESCHRIEBEN WORDEN SEIN.


and this is why I don't like grammar. English or otherwise.

Fun things we learned today:

* Dogs say "wauwau" in Germany
* a schickimicki is what you call someone who is super stylish and rich and arrogant
* die ganze "pipapo"  = the whole shebang/ all inclusive
* if something is better than the superlative form of itself, then you can add "sau" onto the beginning, or "uebel." The latter actually means something like "bad" which makes me think its kind of like saying "it's so bad" when you mean "it's really cool" or like when you use the word "sick" to mean "super awesome"
For example:  schnell = fast
                       schneller = faster
                       schnellesten = fastest
                 sauschnell (old fashioned form) = beyond fastest
OR            uebelschnell (new, cool way to say it)

by the way, "sau" is the word for a female pig in German. So you really are saying something is pig-fast.

Anyway, I am tired and that's all the fun stuff.
I made couscous today, and I bought frozen breaded fish because the only fresh packaged fish fillets I could find were actually lochs. Not exactly what I was hoping for.

Hopefully tomorrow will be more exciting.
