That's it
Have you been there?

Yes, in June 2010, it was breathtakenly stunning.

You are, and it's an amazing landscape indeed

Thank you
Your profile says that you're from US, correct?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes , would you like to know where in U.S. ??
π: 0 β©: 1
Sure, the US is so big
I live in a tiny country called Slovenia, it's in Europe
π: 0 β©: 1
I live in Alabama , it's considered the southern part of the U.S.Β Β I did know Slovenia was in Europe , don't know what countries you are next though .
π: 0 β©: 1
I know where that is
Every Slovenian jumps in the air; 'We're famous!'
So Italy is west, Austria north, Hungary north-east, and what remains is Croatia and our 30 miles long seashore lol

We have a funny accent here. not the whole U.S. just the south ..Β How many slovenians were jumping & saying we're famous ?? lolΒ Β What time is it in your country ?? it is 12:40 pm here .
π: 0 β©: 1
I Believe that
And do people make 'sweet home Alabama' jokes when you tell you where you're from?
2 millions of Slovenians exactly xD
It's 19.44, or would you rather hear 7.44PM?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, apparently that song transcends language & culture barriers . That song gets played a lot on radio in the U.S. & every band that plays here in Alabama feels they must play at least a bit of it for an encore.Β Does get a bit trying at times. Well tell them all I said thanks for jumping . IF you state it as 19:44 I'll have to look it up . ha ha !! lol
π: 0 β©: 1
It's even played on the radio here xD
We have a real cultural problem with that not enough Slovenian music is played on the radio stations lol
And we do use military time

And thank you for all the faves too c:

That's a lovely place, I wish I would have something like this in my near environment.

Thank you for the kind opinion
You can choose to visit Plitvice too, Croatia is not that far from Germany ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
You're welcome
I'd love too! Unfortunately my family hasn't a lot of money, at least in comparison to other ones in Germany. We're happy when we can afford to travel to the North or Baltic Sea 
π: 0 β©: 1
You have your whole life ahead of you and will sure travel at some point c: Besides Croatia (or my country Slovenia) are pretty cheap to travel to, although I don't think that they are different from Germany where I was with school a few years ago
But you're lucky that you live in a nice area as you said ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks, yes, I'm sure that I will be able to travel more in my future. I would especially like to visit the United States, not really because of their culture or anything human-related I have to confess, besides the Native Americans, but rather because of the wonderful nature. Two students of my class went to Montrose a week ago und held a little report in front of us, it looked so beautiful.
Oh, that's cool! Even though you said that it wasn't that different, as a born German I would really like to know what maybe surprised you about that country.
π: 0 β©: 1
I visited USA this year because of their nature too
This photo is from Yellowstone which was the most beautiful part of my trip
Do you mean what suprised me in Germany?
Well I was in Hamburg and we visited students from a more rich gymnasium (and ours was a 'normal one'. What was kinda weird was that the parents were very kind but their kids acted a bit superior to us or other Germans too.
And they ate so many sweets like I eat a lot of them but this was too much even for me xD
But the nature around Hamburg and in Sylt was really pretty
And luckily people know good English because my German is really bad :/
π: 0 β©: 1
Woah, this landscape really looks amazing! 
Yeah, superior behaviour is unfortunately a common problem among us teenagers, but I guess it's not only in Germany. Many of the youth are in this phase were they need to show other people that their rich, smarter and/or cooler. :/ That's why I've never been a social person in my school and even though nobody hates me and I was even elected the "head" of my class by them, I rarely do something with them in my free-time. I hate gossiping as well, don't use make-up or am all about fashion. I'm...different and often get told being more mature than it's usual for my age. 
Really? Haha, that's cool 
German is indeed a difficult, even though beautiful language. I know that a lot of people struggle with grammar and especially the three articles "der", "die" and "das". ^^'
π: 0 β©: 1
I saw the Yosemite too but Yellowstone impressed me more to be honest
Yep you're right that this behaviour is basically everywhere, and I see we're quite similar in that we are not as sociable with our peers. Might I ask how old are you? I'm 20 c: I'm in college now, and finally people around me are kinda grown up too and I get along better than I did in gymnasium.
And no, I haven't been to any of those countries although I wish to visit them. sounds really cool ^u^ but unhealthy too
Then comes the conjugation, the source of my trouble, and although Slovenian has conjugation too German was really hard to learn for me. That is why I'm using English, and because I think I forgot many words :/ But I still understand almost everything, and understanding other languages is awesome!
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm sure both are beautiful landscapes
Of course you can ask me that - I'm actually just 16. ^^ I also hope that it gets better when I start studying, at least I will have people around me who are interested in the same stuff as me. The girls of my class are actually quite mature, just some problems here and there or opinions I just can't agree with, for example that complaining about somebody behind its back isn't always gossiping. As long as the person you're talking about doesn't know what you don't like about him but you talk to your friends about it, it's gossiping in my opinion. When you have a problem with someone, of course it's often necessary to talk to someone about that to let off steam, but you should also talk to the person you're complaining about.
I have been in Sweden in 2012 and it was amazing.
Oh yes, conjugation must be terrible especially in comparison to English, since I have no idea about Slovenian.
English:
- I like.
- You like.
- He/She/It likes.
- We like.
- You like.
- They like.
Almost no difference, just the word in front of "like" is different with the exception of he, she and it where there has to be an "s" at the end. Of course there are some irregular words, but not so many that wouldn't be able to learn them. Whilst in German, the above example would be:
- Ich mag.
- Du magst.
- Er/Sie/Es mag.
- Wir mΓΆgen.
- Ihr mΓΆgt.
- Sie mΓΆgen.
And then German grammar which even I can't explain, even though I somehow do it right. I would be interested in how the example above would be in Slovenian?
I appreciate people who can speak other languages fluently a lot, I wouldn't have the endurance, but it's awesome and impressing.
π: 0 β©: 1
I understand how books make things even more magical ^^
And both places are beautiful each in it's own way
Then it looks like you're very mature for your age. Yep agreed. And the worst is when people start to gossip lies. I hope that doesn't happen in your class. But yes, the mutual interest in college is a cool thing and it makes a great conversation starter too
Then you have travelled quite a lot
And now, prepare for complications.
Slovenian is probably more complicated than German, especially because we have a special thing between singular and plural - it's called dvojina and marks the words for two people. You Germans have four (I don't know the general name for those things) Nominativ, Dativ, Akkusativ and Genitiv, and we have six. And when we speak sentences, the person (I, you etc...) dissapears because you can see who the sentence is about from the verb.
So here is the example in which both words are the verb. The word 'rad' means like and the 'ima' means have.
Singular
-rada imam (I, female)
-rad imam (I, male)
-rada imaΕ‘ (you, f)
-rad imaΕ‘ (you, m or non specified)
-rada ima (she)
-rad ima (he)
-rado ima (it, some objects are it, and some he and she, like in German)
Dvojina
-radi imava (we 2, f)
-rada imava (we 2, males or one female and one male)
-radi imata (you 2, f)
-rada imata (you 2, males or one female and one male)
-radi imata (they 2, f)
-rada imata (they 2, male or one female one male, or objects that are he)
-rada imajo (2 or more of objects that are it)
Pural
-rade imamo (we, f)
-radi imamo (we, males or one female and one male)
-rade imate (you in plural, f)
-radi imate (you in plural, males or one at least one male in a group)
-rade imate (they, f)
-radi imajo (they, males or one at least one male in a group, or objects that are he)
-radi imajo (more of objects that are it)
That is the most common way to say you like things or food.
Of course I could have put the persons (I, you etc...) next to this too, but that wouldn't be like we speak.
There are other ways to say I like too, for example a word 'vΕ‘eΔ' also means like and its used as 'vΕ‘eΔ mi je (I, male or female)' and to show the meaning I would says it's likeable to me. 'VΕ‘eΔ' is more often used for liking humans and their traits, but not as much as when you love them. Maybe a bit like gefalt mir. Sorry I have no above-dots on my keboard...
So I hope you got some insight in my language, and that the amount of text didn't scare you. I am very happy that you showed interest in something that only has two million native speakers and could go extinct in a few hundred years. More and more of youth is speaking Slovenian with English mixed in. But we have books and stuff that will remain.

Thank you very much, I'm always glad to hear that.
Oh yeah, to spread lies is the worst thing one can do, especially because most other persons just believe them without question. Fortunately, this wasn't a common problem in my class, I think the last lies which lead to enormous drama came up four years ago and only because of misunderstandings. But in parallel classes there's still gossiping, at least about real things. I hate it so much when somebody out of nowhere asks me about something embarrassing. I think I didn't tell anybody here on deviantArt yet, but I trust you and it's not a secret anyway: I have the "abnormal" behaviour to pick my eyelashes unwittingly since I was a child and nothing helped so far. And often I receive questions like "Do you really pick your eyelashes? Doesn't that hurt?" "Why do you pick your eyelashes?" and comments like "Your eyes would look so beautiful with eyelashes." And they don't even mean it in an evil way, more in a curious, but I know that they've heard that from other class mates. I'm just happy that these few souls really talk to me about it, even though it's kind of embarrassing, as I said.
I really look forward these conversations. 
Actually not. ^^ Many of my class mates can manage to fly to Turkey every year, sometimes twice a year or to the Caribbeans and places like that. I've only been in Hungary in 2008, in Sweden in 2012 and this year I have been in England, at least in comparison to other German families that's not much. But I think I could enjoy these trips more than other people.
Wow, that's a lot of grammar. 
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm really tired so this is probably going to have more mistakes and unclear sentences than my previous messages, sorry;
Good that there isn't much drama ^^
I don't think about picking lashes a a very abnormal thing, here's why: Because everybody does something unwittingly, for example I touch/pull my hair, especially when nervous, others bite their nails and so on. As long as what one does doesn't damage their body's functioning abilities, the thing they do isn't that a big deal. My mom wants me to stop doing the hair thing of course, but my real friends don't mind (and they do unintentional things with their bodies too. I'm not sure if I know anybody that doesn't do anything at all.) So don't be too embarrassed, because you're pretty normal actually
From that I fell like you will study something art related^^ I myself study microbiology. It's funny how my teachers always used to push me in the art direction but I wanted to keep it as a hobby. And those are all interesting topics in my opinion and it's kinda sad that nobody would talk to you about them. I could, if you want. Myself, I'd just be like ''Oh it's golden hour'' when leaving college late, and then others would ask ''What, is this one of your artsy stuff?'' and that would give me the possibility to explain it
So your school mates' lifestyle would be called wanna-be-rich here, although we don't have that much less income in Slovenia. I hope that doesn't sound rude to you, but we kind of tell the things with brutal honesty sometimes in southern Europe.
In Slovenia, quite some people go to Turkey too, and I know some. But it's almost the same price as going to the neighbor Croatia. Because all that the popular tourist packages offer is staying in a single hotel at the beach and relaxing. And for me, that isn't travelling. I can't imagine to see no nature, culture, food and other things of the county I am visiting.
For me, less travelling and seeing more is the option I'd stick with
Yes, it is similar to Latin, and I learned some Latin easily because of that
I count myself as non-religious too, but it would be strange if the religion disappeared, because it's a part of our culture - simply because it's around for long enough. Luckily we have an institution that takes care of our cultural heritage and organises events and such - I hope you have that too because there should be one for every culture
And If you need any help with mixing some Slovenian in your language (a creative idea by the way) you can always ask me
