bevor anstatt vor eric ;)...ist lustig im letzten Satz hast einen Fehler...

 

I might say I did it on purpose, just to prove a point, but you would'nt (shouln't) believe it anyway - and neither shouls akahenaton.

(It would take me too long to write this in German).

Wouldn't it be better to say: "Eine Katze ist schwarze und die andere ist schwarzeweiß"?

 

The first post didn't use the definite article "eine" to indicate that Katze is a feminine noun

 

(if I'm wrong, please let me know, I'm learning too!)

Nein, es ist richtig so wie ich es im ersten post geschrieben habe: "Eine Katze ist schwarz (ohne e) und die andere ist schwarzweiss".

 

Da ich Deutsch nie gelernt habe kenne ich die Regeln nicht, ich weiss einfach wie man es sagt. Du hättest recht falls Du sagen würdest "Eine schwarze (mit e) Katze"...

Hmmmm, now I'm completly lost! "The cat" is die Katze. So its my understanding that "Eine Katze ist shchwarze" would be correct, nicht? Sorry for the redundant question, but I could only übersetze about half your post!

Exceptionally I write in english then: You are right it is "die Katze" and since it is feminin you would translate "a black cat" as "eine schwarze Katze". But "one cat is black" is translated as "eine Katze ist schwarz"...

I never learned german grammar (it is one of my mother-tongues, but I went to school in the italian part of Switzerland) I just know it by ear...It probably has to do with what part of sentence the adjective black is (like object, dativ etc...)

Sorry for not being able to explain why
