Abolish the AfD (Alternative for Germany, Neo Nazi party)
There can only be one brown Bernd
Bernd the Bread 🍞 is a German children's TV character
Björn Höcke (called Bernd because it infuriates him) is a fascist and leader of the Neo Nazi party in my federal state.
There is only room for the bread.
Tomorrow we have a demonstration against the Nazis in my city, and I am so down to throw hands.
Please go to your local Anti Nazi Demo!
You can find some here!

Would you be able to help me with a German translation, or direct me to someone who can? I'm working with a late 19th Century grammar (for a dead language) and it seems to be using some obsolete interrogatives (or modern ones I can't find) that I'm struggling to translate. 'Wieviel' and 'wieviele' are fine, as are 'für wie viele' and 'mit wie vielen,' but I'm struggling with 'wie vieler' and 'wie viel' as distinct from 'wieviel.'
Hi, I'm not a native speaker and certainly not very familiar with 19th century German, but I'll try to give my two cents.
I believe "wie vieler" means "of how many" and I think that the difference between "wie viel" and "wieviel" could be more grammatical than semantic, i.e., the former is a question word and the latter is an adverb (maybe).
@fluencylevelfrench and @allthingsgerman are native speakers, so they might be able to help more.

Right, okay, those are all great explanations, but let's get to the one that messes with the head of every non-native german speaker. Explain 'doch' to me
okay i would say there are at least two ways to use "doch".
1) standing alone
e.g. someone says no and you reply with "doch" (instead of yes) in that case the word means "you little shit head, you are wrong and I am right and this will happen my way and now shut the hell up"
2) in a sentence
in that case "doch" strengthens the meaning of everything you say, but it also does much more than that, it really is hard to describe. i would say it somehow shows that something is obvious, it is very suggestive in its use. a few examples in an attempt to bring the use and meaning closer to you:
"Das ist doch klar" - "that is obviously clear" (read it as "are you stupid not to understand that?")
"Du willst das doch auch." - "you obviously want this too"
"Lass uns doch ins Kino gehen" - "let's go to the cinema" (here we have this suggestive use, so it rather means "why don't we go to the cinema?")
"Du willst doch noch zum Essen bleiben, oder?" - "you want to stay for dinner, right?" (again, it's very suggestive, it strengthens what you want to say, honestly it kind of will make you feel guilty if you deny the offer for dinner)
i can't think of more examples right now but I hoped this helped to clear it up at least a little bit :)
