Thank you for the German lesson. I have learned a lot today. I hope you make it as a teacher.
I will be doing revisions to my german language sigs. 
| quote: | Originally posted by Bemps
,,ein" is the German word for "a." But there are masculine, feminine, and neuter versions of it. In the nominative case, there is:
ein - der (masculine)
eine - die (feminine)
ein - das (neuter)
ein Volk works, cause Volk is neuter ,,das Volk"
die Musik (music) is feminine, and this is where you need ,,eine Musik" ... like if you wanted to say, "a cat" you'd say ,,eine Katze" because die Katze is feminine
actually for Berliner... in German you don't need to say ,,ein" (a). For instance, if I was saying I am a teacher, I would say, "Ich bin Lehrer." Loosely in English, I am teacher, without the "a." This is natural for German. To say I am American, I'd say, Ich bin Amerikaner," not "Ich bin ein Amerikaner."
So I think you want to say simply ,,Berliner" - pvd is a native berlin dude
DJ is masculine, so it is ein DJ
and for ,,des Jahres" I need to clarify this with some native German speakers. ,,des Jahres" is the high german way we are taught in America, but I have heard varying ways of this. The general rule is if the word is only one syllable, to ad the ,,es" on the end or if the word ends in an "s", and if it is two syllables, to only ad the ,,s"
(ie) Das Fenster des Hauses -- it Haus ends in "s" so add the ,,es" the window of the house
Die Farbe des Autos -- Auto is two syllables and doesn't need the ,,es," just ,,s"
sorry, I don't have that picture... if any native speaking Germans could give this a look over, that'd be coo
I'm studying German in College to be a High School German teacher. I'm not trying to diss your sig., I just thought you might want it to say exactly what you're tyring to say |

cool man, glad I could help. Back to Depeche Mode, yeah they are most excellent and definitely helped me get through high school. I'd love to see a new album from them in the near future, but who knows. If you guys like Portishead, they are supposedly back in the studio working on new material with know actual release date for an album known.

Depeche mode definitely helped me with electronic music. I like the "violator" album best, and this has to be the best introduction to the mode for anyone who has managed to not hear their stuff before (how could that be!).
