Dativ oder akusativ- statische oder dynamische

Regardez le plaquât qui se trouve sur nos tables à l’école ! J’ai demandé notre prof de le prendre et je l’ai collé dans ma chambre pour l’utiliser chaque fois que je veux réviser les prépositions et les articles. En allemand pour poser la question où- ce qui désigne le lieu- on pose deux différentes questions et cela dépend du sens :
AKKUZATIV = WOHIN ?= action= mouvement= où allez-vous ?
-Je vais à l’école- Ich gehe in die Schule.
Ce n’est pas la même question qu’on pose quand on veut demander quelqu’ un où il se trouve car au ce cas il est statique et il ne change pas la location :
-DATIV=WO ? Tu te trouves où? Je suis là= dedans
Ich bin in der Schule.

On a aussi 2 verbes avec lesquels aussi on fait la différence entre ces deux cas:
WO? – WOHIN?
liegen- legen
stehen- stellen
setzen- sitzen
hangen- hangen

Der stift liegt neben dem Buch- où se trouve-t-il ? =WO= il est là, et tranquille, et il c’est sujet
Er legt den Stift neben das Buch- WOHIN ? = action, Stift- l’objet et il n’est plus statique, on le bouge

Sushi recette

D’abord, je suis allé dans un très bon et pas si cher restaurant qui s’appelle Hakata et qui se trouve dans Oranienstrasse 200 à Kreuzberg. Dans ce restaurant on peut regarder comment le chef de la cuisine fait le sushi. Cela me parait trop intéressant, et il a réveillé ma curiosité, et c’est pourquoi j’ai voulu essayer le faire moi-même. Je vais vous relever quelques petits secrets.
Tout dont on a besoin, on peut chercher dans un supermarché asiatique qu’on a beaucoup ici. Soya sauce coute environ 3e, wasabi- 2 e, un paquet des algues- aussi 2 e et Ginger, qu’on n’a pas besoin d’acheter fraiche et le cuire, car c’est un peu compliqué, on le vend dans un paquet- sushi Ginger et coute 1 e ! Des poissons sushi on peut acheter tous ensemble dans un petit paquet, et pour des légumes je crois que le plus pratique est à le faire avec avocado. On a besoin d une pièce qu’on utilise fraiche, crue et coupés en lignes. L’autre légume qu’on peut utiliser facilement sont les shiitakes sèches qu’il faut laisser d’abord dans l’eau pendant 2h et après les cuire pendant 20 min. il faut les couper en lignes après.
Ce qui est le plus important est de bien laver le riz, jusqu’au ce que l’eau soit tout à fait transparente. Après il faut le laisser dans l’eau pendant 2h. Pour la cuisson, l’eau doit être 1cm au-dessus de la superficie du riz et il faut laisser cuire pendant 20 minutes, après il faut le bouger du feu et le laisser couvert pendant 10minutes. Après il faut le mettre dans le frigo car il doit être froid et le gout est mieux.
Posez une algue sur une drape de paille, car cela aide à les rouler, mettez du riz mais laissez un peu de l’espace aux cotes, des légumes coupes et roulez ! Coupez le sushi rouleau avec un couteau et voilà!

PROST!

There are around 1,300 breweries in Germany. They exist in every region. Lot of them are private, long lasting and with a family traditions. Krombacher was ranged as a most popular beer in Germany the last year and after comes Bitburger, Warsteiner and Becks -the most exported German beer.
Berliner Kindel is one very popular beer in Berlin. You can find them in some other countries, but in Berlin, Kindel Weisse Red or Green (Rot oder Grun) you can find just in Berlin. In bottles you can buy them in supermarket and in bars it’s typically served in a bowl-shaped glass with flavored syrups, such as raspberry (Himbeersirup), or artificial woodruff flavoring (Waldmeistersirup). One story says that long time ago when French people came in Berlin, they could not drink an ordinary beer and that they had put some syrup in.
Bavaria, par example is the part of Germany where is located about 560 of breweries. This region is place where is organized every year in the end of September and beginning of October the Oktoberfest, the most famous beer event, where the last year par example 7.5l were sold, (that was about 70.125.000e) they are selling there just beer from Bavaria, in so called Mass- 1l pot, and the price is between 9 and 10e.
I hope that you also remarked that in Berlin, its allowed to drink it in U-bahn and S-bahn, and it is not permit in some others cities in Germany, and in some parts of America this is a crime and police can take you into the prison.

Potsdam

Potsdam est une ville d’Allemagne, capitale du Land de Brandebourg située tout près de Berlin, au bord de la rivière Havel. C’est le symbole du militarisme prussien, car pendant que Berlin était la capitale officielle de la Prusse et plus tard de l’Empire allemand, la Cour restait à Potsdam. Elle compte aujourd’hui 150 000 habitants, et est donc la ville la plus peuplé du Brandebourg. On a besoin d’une quarantaine de minutes pour y aller de S-bahn Friedrischstrasse. On prend S1 en direction Wansee jusqu’au terminus.
On a plein de choses à visiter, car dans cette ville se trouvent aussi : Le Palais Sanssouci, le Nouveau Palais, église de St.Nicolas, ancien Parlement, Quartier Hollandais, Brandeburg gate dans le Luisenplatz, le Musée de Film et beaucoup d’autres choses à voir.
Le palais de Sanssouci (ou Schloss Sanssouci en allemand) est l’ancien palais d’été du roi de Prusse Frédéric le Grand Le palais était réservé au roi et à ses proches pendant les mois d’été, de fin avril à début octobre.
On range souvent Sanssouci parmi les principaux rivaux du château de Versailles, bien que le palais ait été réalisé dans un style rococo et son véritable équivalent en France est le château de Marly. Frédéric n’a pas aimé les jardins à la anglaise et c’est pourquoi devant le château se trouvent des jardins à la française. A l’entrée autour des escaliers qui amènent au palais se trouvent grands vignobles en terrasse.
Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le palais devint une attraction touristique en République démocratique allemande.Sanssouci et ses vastes jardins furent inscrits au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO en 1990.

German cars

Germany Is a country who is producing the best cars in the world, so this is not atypical scene to see them rolling in the streets of Berlin: Audi and Volkswagen, Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Opel are coming from Germany. Bavaria is one rich and famous region where are located headquarters of Audi and BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke). Logo of BMW is taking the colors of flag of Bavaria and also represents propellers of plane, because they were producing aircrafts during the World Wars.
Stuttgart is the second rich and famous city because they are located headquarters of Merzedes and Porsche. Merzedes is taking today a part in Formula 1 of McLaren, and it was founded in 1886 by Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler.
Opel in 1862 was the first founded car’s factory in Germany. Today, his headquarter is located in Rüsselsheim.
Porsche exists since 1931 and it was founded by Ferdinand Porsche, and Volkswagen appears little bit later in 1937 when Porsche had received a contract from Hitler to create people’s car.
Today Volkswagen Group owns Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Ducati, Lamborghini, SEAT, 49.9% of Porsche, Giugiaro, and Škoda marques and the truck manufacturer Scania.
Volkswagen has three cars in the top 10 list of best selling cars of all time compiled by the website 24/7 Wall Street: Volkswagen Golf, the Volkswagen Beetle, and theVolkswagen Passat.

Turkish supermarkets in Berlin

I hope that you have already remarked that in Berlin lot of people coming from Turkey and everywhere you can see famous Doner kebabs and Borek! There’s also many Turkish supermarkets, so if you are adventurist and like to cook, I would like to propose what to try to make.
I have one recipe for you if you want to make something with sour cabbage. Actually, this recipe is from the origin Turkish Sarma-lahana rulo, and after was turned in Serbian way by adding the meet and sour cabbage. I call them cabbage sushi. My advice is to eat them with Turkish yogurt Ayran.

What I also like is Turkish bread, different from the toast bread from the supermarket, and here’s the reason: original Turkish bread is backed in a Turkish furnace, constructed from the bricks with small fire inside, so the taste is more like Italian pizza.
There’s one good mixed sour salad called Tursija: sauerkraut, pickles, pickled carrots and pickled cauliflower that you can buy in pots.
Turkish sweets are also very good. I like Kadayıf. Almost all Turkish sweets are dressed with about 1kg of sugar cooked in water so, the taste is really sweet, but easy to make! Turkish sweets are of course the best with Turkish thee and Turkish coffee.

Karneval der Kulturen

Was one very interesting event which brought one very positive and vibrating atmosphere in Berlin. It was organized in the last week of May. Festival took 4 days in overcrowded streets of Kreuzberg, when almost all quarter was blocked!! The main street for column of dancers from all world was Gneisenaustrasse.
On the top of one troupe was a boy with a board with the name of the country, and behind him was a music box and girls in traditional costumes who were dancing.
Everywhere apart were stands with drinks, beers, cocktails, loud music and other people were also dancing. It was one spring-summer atmosphere which mixed Brazilian carnival mood and positive mood of crowds of people from summer Ibiza’s parties, and all that in the middle of capital city of Germany!!
In one square were stands with a lot of exotic food from all over the world, so we had opportunity to taste dried coco- chips, to drink from coconuts with a pipe, to eat African’s specialties and a lot of others tasty dishes.

Trabi

Trabi Or Trabant was one of the most popular cars in Eastern Germany and in other communist countries. His name means Satellite and was inspired by Soviet space ship Sputnik. Today, this car is trendy and one of the symbols of Berlin. We can frequently see it rolling on the streets, in Berlin Mitte.
First model – Trabant 500- was made in 1957, model Trabant 601 has been modified as a limousine. The last model that was built is Trabant 1.1, was popular in 1990-1991.
Times magazine 2008 rated it between 50 the worst cars ever made. One of the reason for such a bad rating is the pollution he produces which is about 10 times more than the eco- limits today. This sweetie is made from organic materials: cotton and soft plastic, and the funny thing about it is we can see a pig eating Trabi in one of the Emir Kusturica’s film.
But, anyway people in Berlin like it so much, so you can easily book it, and make one city tour  and be prepared it is not so cheep!

Zoo in Berlin

One thing that you should definitely visit in Berlin is Zoo. He is ranged among top 10 zoos in the world. The most famous zoos in the world are located in Toronto, Singapore, San Diego. The biggest in Europe is Berlin’s and after comes Vienna’s Schonbrunner and French Beauval Zoo. Today in Berlin zoo lives about 17 727 animals (1571 sorts) and 7.629 animals (865 sorts) in Tierpark.
Berlin Zoo is located near the west side of Tiergarten, the biggest and the most famous park in Berlin, close to Zoologischegarten U-bahn station.
First grand opening was in 1844, and during the Second World War, Zoo was completely destroyed, just 91 animals survived… After that is reconstructed and today it is one of the most beautiful attractions in town.
This place is also famous his endangered species: Giant Panda Bao Bao who firstly came in East part of Berlin in 1980 as a 2 years old gift from Chinese government. You can see him rolling down on the ground on his back and eating bamboo. This amazing scene you can see just in 3 zoo in Europe, and in few more in the world.
During the last years, in Zoo were born after 30 years the first polar bears, and this was a big attraction! His name was Knut, he was like a toy, completely white with his eyes like small buttons, but he was sick, and he died when he was 5 years old.
There’s also too many others animals: gorila, anteater, rhino, also red-legged seriema (bird) king vulture, grey wolf, tayra and lot of others.

European NY

Hello my dear new friends and welcome to Berlin!  I hope that you are having a good time here, that everything is going well!! I hope that you have already done your first city tour and that you like the city!! If not, I’m giving you advice to look in any Starbucks for a free city map.This map is actually advertizing free city tour, so all info regarding the tour you can find on this map.I took this tour and guide was awesome so I can really recommended it.
As you can see, Berlin is city full of different vibrations- old Western and Eastern, and today city of freedom, city of hipsters, city where the fashion is out of rules and orders!! I was shocked with too many people with dirty clothes and hair like there’s no bathrooms and hairdressers, drinking beer on the streets and U-bahns, and walking with the street’s dogs I was like: ‘’Mama mia, save me’’!!
Later on, actually after 6 months living here, I feel better now, but I still repeat the sentence: ‘’… and all this cultural schock that can attack you when you go down in the Berlin’s subway…. ‘’ Actually, the last photo I saw on facebook was a 50 years old naked guy with a beer in his hand, seating in the u-bahn so relaxed like he was just going home after working day. This was very bizarre.
The most representative places where you can see this unique spirit of modern Berlin are around U-bahn Warsauerstrasse, Squats all painted in graffiti, with strange people with heavily pierced on their bodies or people with three different haircoulours wearing two different shoes!
There’s some people who don’t like them at all, and there’s no hope that they will change their opinion
