Learn German - Lesson 15

[cancan20000]

hey ... 1st i would like to thank u for the videos, they are really helpful, 2nd i had a question, why isnt there a future tense, and if there is, why do we translate what are u going to do with the house in present tense? what i mean do we translate: was macht ihr mit dem haus as: "what are u going to do with the house" or " what are u doing with the house"? thx

[Karash770]

@cancan20000 The german present tense can be used for the present as well as the future. I might be wrong, but isn't it quite similar in the english language with the Present Progressive? To use your example: "What are you doing with the house?" could refer to something, the adressed person is doing right now as well as to plans the adressed person has for the house.

[rudyeilabouni]

Why do you say gehst du nach hause and not dem hause??? Shouldn't we put dem or you only need dem if you are saying "Dem haus" and the e in house doesn't need dem?

[rudyeilabouni]

When you say Renoviert ihr das haus, is "das haus" Accusative here???

[Karash770]

@rudyeilabouni Correct. since "Das Haus" is of neutral gender and the accusative for "Das" is "Das" as well.

I have a question; you said in lesson 14: "with some nouns of the s-declension the final -S is doubled before the GENITIVE SINGULAR ENDING -ES". So DAS HAUS doesn't become in: DES HAUSSES?

[oOItalyZmdOo]

@oOItalyZmdOo  where did you take BLEIBST from?

[nuvaboy]

@oOItalyZmdOo "bleiben"="to stay"

in German, there are no progressive forms, so (simple) present is used

instead of bist du bleibend bleibst du

are you staying...  Stay you (literally)

[Sicklehead88]

@oOItalyZmdOo no, not in this case, it's "des Hauses". so the first "s" becomes a soft "s" like in the english "houses".

[ElectronicLover80]

@ElectronicLover80 mistake in sense of forgetting something

[ElectronicLover80]

@apooravm no, you can't do that. you say zu if you're going to a person/animal or to a place like airport/cinema/school (or planet/star lol). but you say nach if you're going to a country/city/village. hause is the only word that uses zu if there's no movement to another place. i hope i made no mistakes. greetings from jermanee

[Coshka77]

Was macht ihr mit dem Hause, bedeutet auf Englisch: What are you doing with your house, nicht: What are you going to do with your house. It isn't future tense, it is present.

[apooravm]

great lesson.. but does this mean that we can generalise that whenever there is no motion like stayin at home or any other place, we use zu and when there is movement involved like going to or driving to we use nach??

Thank you for these lessons!

[helioringer]

Nach means: after (dative); according to (also dative); and to (a city, state, or country). Wir treffen uns nach der Schule. (We are meeting after school.) Nach meiner Mutti stimmt das! (That's right according to my mom.) Ich gehe nach Berlin. (I'm going to Berlin.) An idiom that uses nach that is very important to remember is "... nach Hause." which means "to home." Er geht nach Hause. (He is going home.)

[Atreesy]

Vielen Dank!

[77juin]

what's  'nach' meaning?

[Moshikashitenai]

Nach is used the same way as the English verb "going" or the particle "to".

Bist du nach=are you going?

Ich kommen nach Berlin=I'm coming to Berlin.

My use of the ending of the word "kommen" is wrong, I know it is; but at least I should be able to get my point across. German is such an awesome language :)

[jennyfromalbania]

yes it means to go or the particle'to' but it also meanst 'after'.am I right??

[jennyfromalbania]

nach mean after, or for exaple : Meine Meinung nach-means I think that.or nach etwas fragen means to ask for something.well they are  expressions. Ich hoffe,dass ich dir gehilft habe. :D
