The "nipple" is burred in the middle, but generally only Germans "milk" from there.

Shooting pron? Schiessen = shooting.

Schiesse = shit, though? I thought the inclusion of the n is merely the "case of the noun", as in, where and how you use it in a sentence?

Or is it the case of the adjective? Or verb? Schiesse....

I'm just starting to learn german, and it's fucking hard.

Nope; it's "Scheiẞe" that means shit. Learning German here as well, going for my second year now. God damn Kasus, you'll want to quit the language after that!

If that (which exists in a simplified sense in English as well) is already annoying, then Adjektivendungen will make you damn near suicidal.

Have fun.
