A long way from the Forest

Berlin is a big city and people are cold. I like my flatmates but the buildings are ugly, the air is stale and I'm not sure that our next door neighbour is alive.

Schlückvichtslos

[ashafariavare]

I know it's Lückrichtslos.

Männer sind so wücksichtsros

Rücksichtswos.

Sückrichtslos.

Hab nicht so viel zu sagen. Bin wirklich nervös. Ich warte auf seinem Visum. Seinem oder seiner? Ich hab keine Ahnung.

Wenn er das Visum bekommt, kann er nicht einfach reisen. Er muss der/die/das Jordanien Grenze überqueren. Ich weiß nicht ob das wirklich möglich ist.

Aber zuerst muss er zurück kommen. Er ist die andere Seite der Mauer, weil manchmal er ein Vollidiot ist.

Am wichtigsten ist, dass er noch lebt. Am wichtigsten für mich. Allerdings ist er die andere Meinung.

Ich habe keine Ahnung was passiert ist. Er hat kein Internet. Meine Nachrichten waren nicht geliefert.

I hope he got under the wire safely.

Getting out is easier.

Coming back is crazy.

I pray for myself that the army don't catch him.

I don't think he cares.

There's not much left in him.

I dream of our future. He dreams of Jannah.

It's depression that drives them.

Does that make them martyrs?

A fine line indeed between suicide and honour.

I hope he comes back

From under the wire.

when you’re not sure whether a german noun is masculine or neuter so you reword your entire sentence to use it in the dative case

[ashafariavare]

If you're good enough at German to do this then you should bally well know the gender of the word.

I would try to cook things like this if the ingredients didn't look like a foreign language.
