WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Thing to keep in mind is Finnish is phonetic. You literally say every letter.

It's the same in German.

Who?

Can't remember his name off hand he's been on TV a couple of times. The sketch is from a show he did in Ireland. I think he won Finnish comedian of the year. It's on YouTube.

There and their sound the same to me  and when I think of das I think of Volkswagen. You know das auto 

You're right. I learned it slightly differently pronounced, but the dictionary says it also can have exactly the same pronunciation:

Their: \thər, ˈther\
There: \ˈther\

There - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Isn't it great when we both are right?

Das Auto.

Das Auto, das wir gesehen haben.

Er dachte, dass wir das Auto gesehen haben.

No, it is not. German isn't phonetic language, like Finnish and Italian.

I didn't think Italian was phonetic... it's a derivative of Latin, like French.

Yeah, source please, I can't find any. In the world wide web there doesn't seem to a strict distinction

And to be honest, it would be a 925 over the ATIV S.

It depends...if the price is equal the Ativ wins on screen size and SD card slot...both are really thing and light. 925 has a better camera in low light. If you don't need the extra storage space and want to try Nokia, the 925 is the get. Otherwise the Ativ S looks and feels good. I messed with the one I bought for my banker friend and if were int bigger phones I still would have bought that.

re: WC 100K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

I just checked. My go-to online store does now only offer Nokia Windows Phone devices. It sold the Ativ S for a very long time very cheaply. There's only one other store in Switzerland left that has it available for around 400 Swiss Francs. You can get a new 925 for less.

That's not a deal at all. I think Expansys was selling it pretty cheap...not sure how much it would work out for you to buy it and ship it...if that is cheaper to do. Otherwise, the 925 you may like...

I love the 925. But I'm not currently looking for a new phone, it was a purely academic discussion

I could never tell the difference between words but I know in context and I have no idea what you said at the end

Or it could be that your gf isn't letting you buy a new phone

Nothing of interest, I just wrote an example of the usage of "das" and "dass" by using a sentence with the word "Auto" in it. ;-)

Das Auto, das wir gesehen haben. -> The car we saw.

Er dachte, dass wir das Auto gesehen haben. -> He thought that we saw the car.

You could write:

Er dachte, wir h?tten das Auto gesehen. -> He thought we saw the car.

But that wouldn't include a "dass" ;-)

That too. ;-)

But I wouldn't buy a phone of the same generation as my 8X anyway. It wouldn't make any sense.

I feel like I'm in French all over again all I know is das auto

Ok 

I don't know about your German skills, but the 4th post by frank74 here is a nice description of what I think about German as a native speaker:
