Comparative & Superlative Forms Of Adjectives In German

The comparative and superlative forms of adjectives are used to indicate a higher degree of their simple forms (positive and negative) with the superlative being the maximum degree. The comparative form is mostly used for dissimilar comparison between two nouns or pronouns i.e to show between two objects which one is of more value than the other while the superlative could become neuter…

there was name talk last night? :3c

Flint is Silverstein's original name, now used as his first name, chosen/given like all other clay men still haven't decided my hc on that oops. Silverstein was chosen with not too much thought, picked from various names he heard around the docks in his first days in London. He goes by his surname because he is a Professional, Thank You, and mostly talks to people on business terms.

Theodore Pembroke is her full given name, with Cordelia being picked up later on. She probably could have changed her surname on account of mostly abandoning/disowning her parents, but she had been called Pem/Pembroke most of her life already, even more so when she was experimenting with gender and names; it's her name now, not her parents'. She goes by all her names interchangeably :D

Vincent Bell is a slight bastardisation of their name in order to avoid issues raised by the english having to contend with foreign words. Their full name is Vícenç Creuer Libèl·lula, which loosely translates as Vincent Cross Dragonfly; double surnames from Spanish naming conventions. Their name is actually Catalan, not Spanish, as they (and their family) are from Barcelona and in the right company they will be Very proud about that fact. They only really go by Vincent and probably won't realise you're refering to them if you just use Bell.

(fun fact! spanish doesn't have ç or l·l and only has one direction of accent/tilde)

Declension Of Adjectives In German

This declension of German Adjectives usually follows a definite pattern which has…

How to use the German word WILLKOMMEN

A while ago I was asked when (or how) to use willkommen with bei, in, zu, auf or an. I answered and then did a little research to see if there was more. The result is this blog post. Willkommen – welcome Herzlich willkommen – a bit more polite or friendly, but still translated as welcome höchst willkommen – most welcome jemanden willkommen heißen – to welcome sombody Das wäre sehr…
