    Ich habe eine Frage an meine deutschen Freunde

    I suppose some of you are having a similar problem, so maybe this helps!

    “wenn” is used in the sense of both “when(ever)” (a) and “if” (b) as well as for expressing something that happens in the future (c).

    a) Wenn es regnet, bleibe ich zu Hause.

    b) Wenn ich im Lotto gewinne, werde ich reich sein.

    c) Wenn wir morgen aufwachen, wird die Sonne scheinen.

    naaak:

    johncabrera:

    “wenn” auf englisch ist beides “if” und “when”, oder? Also wenn ich sage…

    “Wenn ich ein fließender Sprecher auf deutsch werde, werde ich ‘Planet Erde’ auf deutsch sehen”

    …, wie kann man wissen, dass ich “when” gemeint habe?

    I guess it’s a matter of interpreting this sentence. It depends on the context. Germans could read both out of this sentence.

    There are different ways of arranging the phrases:

    (1) “Ich werde mir ‘Planet Erde’ auf deutsch ansehen, wenn ich fließend Deutsch spreche.”
    (2) “Wenn ich fließend Deutsch spreche, werde ich mir ‘Planet Erde’ ansehen.”

    In the first sentence there is more emphasis on “wenn” and the moment of time (when). In the second possible sentence is more emphasis on “werde ich ‘Planet Erde’ ansehen”. So in this case it’s not so important if you meant “when” or “if”…

    The “wenn” would be more interpreted as an “if” if you were saying “Wenn ich fließend Deutsch sprechen könnte, würde ich mir ‘Planet Erde’ auf deutsch ansehen.”

    Hope I could help you a little bit. Still think it’s a way of interpreting what you meant in the context. Perhaps other Germans would say it differently.. ;)

    Die Schokokusstorte - the easiest thing in the world. And - SO delicious!

    You can either buy a ready-made sponge-cake dough or make one.

    For the dough you need:

    100 g flour (about 3.5 oz)

    100 g sugar (about 3.5 oz)

    3 eggs

    3 Tbls hot water

    1/2 ts baking soda

    For the filling you need:

    9-12 Schokoküsse (chocolate-covered marshmellow treats)

    250 g farmer’s / curd cheese (about 8 oz)

    250 g whipped cream (about 8 oz)

    1 tbls lemon juice

    Preparing the dough:

    Stir eggs, sugar and hot water until it’s fluffy. Fold in flour and baking soda carefully. Bake in a springform pan for about 15mins (175° C, 347 ° F).

    Preparing the filling:

    Remove the waffles from the Schokoküsse and put them aside. Mash the rest in a bowl with a fork. Add curd cheese and lemon juice. Stir. Then fold in the whipped cream. Spread the filling onto the sponge cake dough (cooled off). You can now decorate the cake with the waffles (see picture). Put it in the fridge for a couple of hours.

    Guten Appetit!
