Irish S.	German Scavenger Hunt June 10, 2005 7:58 PM I got this idea from Barb over on the Night Owls group (thanks Barb!). But over here we will play it German style! Someone will post a simple German word and everyone will go a find a picture of that word. This way we can have visuals to easily remember what word is what! I'll go first as an example. die Katze: die Katzen (plural) [ send green star]
Irish S.	June 10, 2005 8:01 PM You don't have to post the plural version as well, I may go through and do that in some cases if you don't know what the plural version is. Lets continue with: der Hund [ send green star]

Rebecca M.	June 11, 2005 12:50 PM I thought that meant leaf ,or blade, also. [ send green star]
ME T.	June 11, 2005 2:53 PM I found das Blatt means “the sheet” Snake is Schlange http://babelfish.altavista.com/ Is pretty good for many different language's, which is where I found these [ send green star]
anonymous	i did look it up and it was shee June 11, 2005 3:43 PM Thanks for the correction... ME T. I hope it meant bed sheet! now die hummel..... [report anonymous abuse]
Rebecca M.	die hummel (bumble bee) June 11, 2005 6:51 PM [ send green star]
Irish S.	June 11, 2005 9:16 PM Just for the sake of proper learning and not me being picky - the nouns are always capatilized no matter where they are in a sentence. So it would be "die Katze" or "der Hund". [ send green star]
Rebecca M.	June 11, 2005 9:49 PM das Pferd [ send green star]
Irish S.	June 11, 2005 10:05 PM das Pferd Now, der Schwamm [ send green star]

Irish S.	June 22, 2005 8:33 PM ME, that face creeps me out!! How about now we take a new twist and use the word in a sentence! [ send green star]
Katya R.	December 12, 2006 1:28 AM Well in that case. Der Apfel ist vom Baum gefallen. [ send green star]
Peter K.	Should we try to continue the thread? March 27, 2007 4:05 AM Last thing was... "Der Apfel ist vom Baum gefallen", right? There is a german saying "Der Apfel fällt nicht weit vom Stamm" meaning that kids are similar to their parents. May i suggest to continue with "Baum"? "Sie sieht den Wald vor lauter Bäumen nicht"...
