Ok, so mom and I are hacking through Rosetta Stone. Now there's a portion we just hit where we get to type the words... We keep getting the wrong answer when we spell Der Mann as "Der mann". Now, does it matter if we use a capitol M vs. lower case m for mann?

Yep! Nouns are all capitalized in German, whether they're proper nouns or not. Not the article (except at the beginning of a sentence), just the noun.

Viel Glück!

Herr Hondosan, haben sie der Sushi?

Liebe,

Rue Rue

Was this correct Deutschlehrer? I wish they had spell check in German!

Rue Rue,

Ist Hondo dein Mann? Dann darfst du sicher "du" benutzen!

Is Hondo your husband? Then you can certainly use "du" (familiar)!

It sure is hard to get used to capitalizing all nouns. Mom says her students have a hard time adjusting. MOL

Ich weiss nicht ob Sushi ein der, die, oder das Wort ist. Kingsley, Horus, wisst ihr?

Erinnere mich richtig an, daß borrow-words meistenteils "das" sind? Ich weiß nicht. Wir müßen von Horus die Antwort bekommen!

Am I remembering correctly that most borrow words are das? I don't know. We will have to get the answer from Horus.

Crucifix! Tut es mir Leid Schätzchen aber mit "der" "die" "das" habe ich nicht die geringste Ahnung... Die alte f hat Deutsch im Bayern "gelernt" (nicht wirklich mit Schule usw., nein, nur mit der Leute) und die Bayer sprechen weder die Artikeln noch die Endungen... Seit dem weisst sie es fast nie und ich es auch nicht... Und sie traut sich nicht Ihren Boss zu fragen: schliesslich ist sie theoritisch beschäftig mit etwas das er (ihre Boss) gegeben hat, und nicht mit übersetzungen für meine Katze-Kumpeln... Hihihi.

(Holly Cross -very used in Bavaria- I'm sorry my Dear but I haven't a single clue with the "der" "die" "das" stuff. Old f "learnt" German in Bavaria - not at school or so, no, just with the people there and the Bavarian do not speak out either the articles nor the endings of the words... Since she never knows the right article & neither do I. And she doesn't dare to ask her Boss: actually she's supposed to work on some stuff he gave her and not on translation for my Furiends-Cats... Hihihi)
