Title: ißt und frißt...was ist die unterschied?
Farben - February 19, 2007 02:31 PM (GMT)
A question for all you German-speakers on the forums - whats the difference between the words "ißt" and "frißt"? I know they both mean some form of "eat" but...I'm scoring badly on tests because I don't know the difference!

Well, you use the word "ißt" when you talk about people who eat.
"Frißt" is used when you are referring to animals.
I wouldn't advise you to say "frißt" in combination with humans because it will most probably have an insulting effect.

now lets make a nice discussion out of that question or close the topic :P
Ralexand - February 20, 2007 03:22 PM (GMT)
I think it isn't common in this forum to close topics, if the discussion is finished :)

I kinda agree with Sjaak here, it was never meant to be a discussion it was a simple question, there's no more need for this topic to exist really...
So if nobody minds I close it and move it to the reaper in let's say... 48 hours. If someone does mind, you have 48 hours to post.... starting now!
*clicks stopwatch*

No,I can read others' minds plus I have frequently repeating deja vu's.
I suggest you to get yourself a better mind lock,Raper,'cos those panties you think 'bout... :rolleyes:
Ralexand - February 20, 2007 08:38 PM (GMT)
very funny.
We can close that topic, if reaper want it to be closed....it hasn't any sense anymore, you are right.
daidalos - February 20, 2007 09:43 PM (GMT)
But then there'll be no place for me to spam. :(
Look at my pathetic post-count... LOOK!

how do you pronounce the
ß (AKA, Latin sharp S)
Wouldn’t
Ißt sound the same as ist?
Ralexand - February 21, 2007 06:17 AM (GMT)
you are right, Isst sounds similar to Ist
and the ß is really the sharp s (Eszett)." In German orthography, the letter alternates with ss under certain conditions, and it is replaced by ss when there is no ß available."
And we mostly write Isst :D, not Ißt.

Fomorian - February 21, 2007 03:36 PM (GMT)
That and because it reminds you a few rocks hitting each other, when it's spoken :P

Well, anyway, I see no really good arguments(you go boost your post count in Freeform Daidalos) This topic will be devoured by me.
