Why is there a bracket -(e)s on das Fahrrad ? Does it mean the 'e' is optional when use the word in genitive form ?

[Karash770]

@danghvu Tricky question. The "-es"-form should be the correct one for the most part, however, we usually get lazy with the "e" when the last syllable isn't stressed and use just "-s". You could say that the "e" got swallowed in the spoken language over time, which made it's way into the written language, too. However, the full "-es"-Form is required when the last syllable is stressed.

I never realized before that the word kindergarten translated to in German. Now I know, "children's garden"

[TheDra19]

i think there is a mistake ......how cao you answer the question( where is the bicycle ) by (we are cycling ) ???i cant understand this

[iwannadrinkacupoftea]

@TheDra19 "wir fahren mit dem fahrrad" is not meant to be the answer to "wo ist der bus?"

When you say "We are going", didn't you mean "We go"?

[letyo80]

Danke sehr, Ich lerne mehr mit ihnen.

[ElectronicLover80]

@Billymaysfan6837 you say Der Zug if the train is doing a verb (even the verbs to be/to have). you say Den Zug if the train is receiving action (you see/kick/step into the train). you say Dem Zug if the train is an indirect object (to/with/of the train). you say Des Zuges if you wanna say "the train's" (the train's color/wagons).

[sejun00]

The best I ever seen

[Billymaysfan6837]

Can anyone tell me when you would use the accusative form in situations other than those using the words "nehmen" or "fur"? Or is that it?

[Ahornsirup1]

@Billymaysfan6837 "nehmen" means we take...(like: I take the train to... / Ich nehme den Zug nach...) and "fuhr" means drive (I drive to...by train/ Ich fahre nach... mit dem Zug)

[Billymaysfan6837]

@Ahornsirup1

No, I know what the verbs are, I was just wondering about the forms of the verb. I've been studying German for 3 months now through the TELLMEMORE program, and grammatical cases are the hardest part. Dem, den, der, des, and so on. For example, in a sentence with the word "zug", when would you use "dem"? Or "den"? Or "des"? It's confusing me

[apooravm]

great lessons! danke!  :)

[bizou154]

I don't understand when you say nach(dative)

[BuddyAcesRussia]

[EggheadOfTheFuture]

Ignore my last comment. Learn the nouns and it becomes natural. I'm on my way.

[skinnycouchpotatoe]

im confuzed with the 2nd exercise why does it have mit in there if mit meens with and that istn used in the original sentence?

[EggheadOfTheFuture]

I was cruising until I hit the exercises. But don't worry people, I am not giving up!

[SmultronsyltNatha]

Ich kann ziemlich gut Deutsch sprechen, aber die Grammatik ist sehr schwierig... Dativ.... Es war bald ein halbes Jahr seit ich Deutsch lernte und ich vergesse immer mehr:(...

[ichbinraghu]

ich finde die videos seher gut.

[jub184]

Can I learn german and french together? which is more useful?

[TryingToLearnGerman]

@jub184 It depends on where you plan to spend your time. Canada and France - French. Switzerland, Austria, and Germany - Germany

Those are the main countries that speak it.

[helioringer]

Ihnen (dative of Sie) works for both singular and plural. This is because "ihr" is the informal "you all" and "Sie" is the formal "you" and "you all."

[JulietDuke]

Wenn ich gemein wäre, würde ich sagen, dass sich die Mehrheit unserer ausländischen Mitbürger diese Lessons mal anschauen sollte ^^

[sarahx3oo]

@JulietDuke : das wäre echt fies, aber es stimmt schon :P

[Ahornsirup1]

@JulietDuke Würde ich auch sagen XD

[Ahornsirup1]

@piporod Wie geht es Ihnen is one person. Ihnen is like you but Ihnen is used when you want to be polite. You use it for people you don't know.

The other ihnen means more persons ;D good luck

[piporod]

@Ahornsirup1 Thanks a lot.

[SoutieNNent]

hello

[sininkh]

Hi, please post a video how to use 'Sie' and 'Ihnen'. When we use Sie and when we use Ihnen?

Wie geht es Ihnen? (Why Ihnen?)

Woher kommen Sie? (Why Sie?)

[DeutschOnlineLernen]

Hello, it is too early for a video on this subject but here is a short answer for you:

"Sie" in your example is a nominative. It is used because it is the subject of the question.

"Ihnen" is the dative form of "Sie" and the dative is used in "Wie geht es ... ?".

You might already know the informal way of asking these questions:

Wie geht es dir?

Woher kommst du?

Here we can find the same structure:

"du" is nominative and "dir" is the dative form of "du".

I hope this helps.

[mytubetravel]

@DeutschOnlineLernen Could you please explain to me why 'Wie geht es dir' is Dativ? I understand 'dir' is the Dativ form of 'du' but what requires the sentence to be Dativ? It has a subject and object but no preposition

[george55519]

@sininkh sie is formal

[nuvaboy]

@sininkh ADDITION: You use "Sie" just to say "du" in a formal way

However, gramatically it's the same as "sie"(pl.), which means it's also plural and declined the same way, but still with the meaning of "du" (sg.) and written with a catipal "S"...
