We have to talk about three things we like (to a formula of different degrees of enjoyment):
Ich dekliniere gerne die Substantive de Angelsachsen. (Thank you, F. Liebermann, for teaching me to spell 'Anglo-Saxons' in German. Bloody Gesetze, how I loathe and yet miss that book...)
Ich lese sehr gerne die mittelalterlichen französischen Liebesgeschichten. (Someone on this flist is just dying to help me with adjectives, aren't you? My dictionary blathers about 'when an adjective precedes the noun', but hasn't told me HOW TO TELL when it does or does not precede the noun. Examples of not preceding the noun were all constructions with "is" in them, so possibly it's simple like that? Also, am I right that I need die before the objects of these sentences?)
Ich spreche liedenschaftlich gerne der Liebesgechichten von Gawan.
Liebesgeschichten is a bit of a guess. I don't think it's the word I want, I know i've heard the German word for "courtly romances" kicking around somewhere, but obviously my dictionary is no help to me with that one. Anyone happen to know it?
