Spoiler: adding to tangent

I'm a professional singer, so am taught how to pronounce German 'correctly' - read: as uniformly as possible in Hochdeutsch and God help you if you need to sing a dialect - and, yeah, your prof should NOT be teaching you to say the ge- prefix as a closed e, or, even worse, as "gay" with the diphthong. General consensus among opera folk is that you should start with a somewhat lightened/rounded schwa (German schwas are variable though), with the brighter end something closer to an open e (which is what @IvyLB is describing).

TL;DR: Basically Ivy's right (listen to her 'cause she speaks the language) and your prof is nuts.

 

Spoiler: Mooore tangent

@Kaylotta I'm starting to suspect that prof said "The 'g' 'e' comes before the action" and I mentally slurred /ge: e:/ together into /ge:/. Because you and Ivy are right, that pronunciation really makes no sense, and I'm pretty sure even if it was dialectical he would have pointed out the dif between that and standard German (he has in other cases, like common greetings in various German-speaking regions). So much for the gay old past tense.

@IvyLB I would definitely be interested in that, especially if there's a transcript so I can match sounds up to text.

talking about monster sex is always worth it

 

I'm starting to sense a theme here.

 

RPers, man. We'll have sex with anything, especially in SFW RPs where we don't have to tell the whole class how we did it.

Things not to fuck:

1. The Triangle Demon
2. Giant crab
3. Gelatinous cube
4. Cthulhu
5. Your mom
