ATTENTION ! "Ihnen" is the polite word for "you", if you talk to an older person, or someone you dont know that well. If you talk to children, or a friend, you have to say "du". (but then the grammatic is totally different.)
Als ob wir zu jedem sagen "Wie geht es Ihnen?" "Wie heißen Sie?" jüngere Leute würden mir den Vogel zeigen xD Finde man sollte das Ganze auch mit "Du" zeigen
You say Ihnen when you want to say What's up? with respect, it would then mean How are you? or something like that. You wouldn't either say Wie geht es dich?, but Wie geht es dir? You would use "dich" as a direct object, Ich liebe dich, I love you. You would use "dir" as an indirect object, Wie geht es dir, What's up?
Dich is an akusative of ´Du´ and it is used you know well, like family members, class mates, friends in your age range. Ihen is a dativ of ´Sie´, it is used with people you hold high respect or you don´t know specially with those who are much older than youself.
ahhhh i can't decide. i already speak english french and spanish. i need another language but i can't decide between russian and german. i've always had a thing for german, but i like russian too. russian seems so much harder though, but i was also told by my professor to try to learn an eastern european language. I CAN'T DECIDE!!! maybe i can do both? and please no one say one is uglier than other bc i think both are beautiful
random fact: Kindergarden (the grade you go to at the begging of school when your like 5) is actually a german word. Kinder is child and garten is guard. So it translates quite literally to child guard.
German is one of the most difficult languages to learn too many ¨ausnahmen¨ ecceptions to master, for instance: all action verbs are akusative exeption: bleiben¨" and so on and sofort, Deutsch is one if not the only one, which nouns and pronouns are conjugate together, numbers are said reversed: ej. einundzwanzig (one and twenty). by comparesson Russian is a walk in the park, even Chinese. Good luck.
@Mrsepal2 Considering the German language doesnt have any unusual symbols. Chinese and Russian are unique in this way. Thanks for you take on the subject!
For English speakers ü, ö and ch is very difficult. But people from Wales can pronounce ch. Who can pronounce this sentence? Man muß diese Wörter üben wie Küche, Bücher und Löcher!
@WCiossek I have a problem with ch. My fiance is German, and I'm taking German lessons from Rosetta Stone. The ch ALWAYS gets me :-( Example:Mädchen, I just can't say it right because of the ch. Sucks!
@Daintytwinkletoes Imagine a "hiss" (kind of). Put your mouth in the position as if you are about to say "Hugh" and blow air through that shape in your mouth. (It sounds close to a Sh, but it's not...) I hope that helps :).
My friend used to have a German girlfriend and she found it very weird that we always spoke formal German. I guess German classes just can't keep up with how the actual language is spoken.
@Mujave Do you live in the US? because i live in the UK and when the germans come over they all speak perfect english and its more formal than our because we use slang
@TheXxVIP3RxX I'm Danish. I think my message was ambiguous. What I meant wasn't that Germans can't speak English, I meant that we non-Germans don't learn German as it is actually spoken due to our teaching material's excessive emphasis on formality. For example, my friend's German girlfriend found it hilarious when I asked her "wie heissen Sie"!
@germanman3826. Wenn Mann "Wie geht es ihnen?" spricht, Mann ist mit ein oder mehr sprechen. Es ist mehr formale als "Wie geht es Dir?". Also, if you don't capitalize the "I" in "Ihnen", it becomes feminine. If it is capitalized, it can be understood as formal or plural.
why do you people feed the trolls??!?!?!!!??!??! unless by feeding them you are also trolling in which case IM FEEDING YOU! ooohhhh nooooo....... dun! dun! dun!
I come from Austria so German is my mother tongue... and I have one question: Is German really so hard to learn?? Is the word order really so complicated?
Probably I just don't notice that, but I can't image it to be so hard... :D
German word order and grammer is very complicated lol (at least coming from an English speaker point of view)
Pronunciation isn't that much of a problem, its just the grammer that most people have trouble with. I'm in my fourth semester of German at university and I still mess up with word order sometimes :P
I am a native Englisch speaker and I've been told that Englisch is the hardest language to learn. =s
but since i started trying to learn german I've come to notice certain things about english that one might find confusing if they were trying to learn it.
Selber, spreche Ich Spanisch (vrom zu House), English, ein bisschen Französisch und ein bisschen Deutsch *na ya, Deutsch habe Ich für sehr lange Zeit nicht gesprochen, So, es is sehr gerrostet. I muss ja sagen Deutsch war DIE schwerer sprache für mich zu lernen. Eigently Ich lerne es immer noch, wenn die Gelegenheit is geben. Zu Zeit Ich versuche Chinese zu lernen, es is einfacher den Deutsch. Entschuldigun um meinen schlecht Grammatik
This is wrong. They tell you to use Ihnen, when you should be using Sie. Ihnen is the German form for "They" and Sie is the German form for the "formal you".
This is wrong. They tell you to use Ihnen, when you should be using Sie. Ihnen is the German form for "They" and Sie is the German form for the "formal you".
@stonewall067 No, "Wie geht es Ihnen?" is correct. "Ihnen" is the formal "you" in the dative case. "Wie geht es Ihnen?" is not saying literally "How are you?" like we say it in English, but it translates more like "How is it going with you?"... Which is why the "you" is in the dative case, hence, "Wie geht es Ihnen?"
I prefer the western European languages that use the same or nearly same standard written alphabet. Cyrillic and other characters are just ugly and unappealing to me.
Also the Language is not very defferent from English as English is considered to be a Germanic Language. ( Spelling andGrammer make more Sense in German than English were you have Tons of Exeptions to every Rule)
@quackers1943 No language is ugly. Russian might not be as romantic sounding as french or as bouncy as italian but it is far from ugly. Russian is THE coolest language you'll ever hear.
@one5643 false....languages can definitely be ugly, yet fascinating all the same....german is definitely up there, i think russian is ok...but French is no doubt the best
Hey ultradumbass... spanish is not that easy hehehe... and it's more like portuguese - which is my native language - than italian... but it's a beautiful language... try to find the book called "Cien Años de Soledad"... written by Gabriel García Marquez... great book and great exercise!
@1991pancakeface Deine Struktur ist nicht sehr schlecht, aber er ist sicher von einem übersetzer ja? Die Grammatik ist wirklich schwer auf Deutsch. Ich habe Problems mit Ihn, und ich habe zwei Jahre Deutsch gelernen! Aber, gute Versuch.
@JakobRobert00 "Sie" can be (she) and (they), wasn't sure which Sie you were using. But after looking again I see that with the "essen" Rather than "isst" Thanks for noticing and correcting. Alles gut, Ja?
@JakobRobert00 Just because English doesn't have those sounds doesn't mean they're not easy to pronounce. There are many sounds in different languages throughout the world that aren't in the English language, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't be able to pronounce them easily. Besides, it makes sense. German and English are both Germanic languages. If your native tongue is a Germanic language in the first place, speaking another Germanic language should come fairly natural.
@omgrobbiee yes, right. we as germans also learned the sounds "o", "th", "r" and "w" in the english language. and it doesnt seem that hard to pronounce.
@fenixsatellite You do realize that what you typed is to be pronounced as Roobish...rubbish has two b's to make it pronounced the way that it is pronounced.
This nazi language is also the mother tongue of Beethoven, Freud, Mozart, Einstein, Marx, Brecht, Goethe, Schoppenhauer, Bach, Kafka, Humbold, Hesse, Nietsche, Schiller, Kant, Luther, Haydn, Gutenberg, Stockhausen, Brahms, Heidegger, and so on...
You are right - that's why I wrote: "...is also the mother tongue of..." because I knew that your answer would be something like Eichmann, Goebbels, Mengele, etc.
Anyway, fact is that about 120 million vistors per year, beside about 7 million people (nearly half of the population of your country) from all over the world who live in Germany, learn and speak at least a little bit of this language. Doesn't matter if you call it "nazi language" or whatever...
@mackunta I absolutely agree. We have a lot to thank the Germans for, oustanding literature, scientific breakthrough, beautiful classical music, that's just naming a few. Germany is a beautiful land with great culture and history. Unfortunately an anti-christ was dropped on them and has scarred them forever. It's not right to keep stabbing them in their scars just to break them open again. Germans have been through enough, time to MOVE on!! Ich liebe Deutschland!!
@ipassedgas77 yeah, i mean, remember the berlin wall? germans have paid a lot for what happened in wwII. and not to mention before hitler was elected, half the germans were communists and didn't vote for him...
@ipassedgas77 I agree, Germany isent the only country with bad stuff in there history but it is one of the few countrys that seem to have learned something from it. Just look how they have delt with ww2 in there movies, like the downfall and stalingrad. Italy and Japan could take example and so could Finland, we didnt do so many nasty things as the three previous but our wars werent exactly clean either.
@MsDjessa And German has the group of the most popular thinkers in this Earth(Beethoven, Sebastian Bach, Weber and others) so the German's history isn't intirely bad. Hitler was a genius, too bad that his used his brain for... Too bad. =/ German is usually named as Das Land der Dichter und Denker (translate it yourself and enjoy!) ;D
In 2008, we have had 114.962.391 tourist arrivals here in Germany - by far most of them (by percent) came from your country and nearly all of them speak at least a little bit of this nazi language.
Actually, English and German descend from the common ancestor language West Germanic. That's why there are lots of English words that idenentical to their German lexical counterparts:
spelling: Hand, Sand, Finger
pronunciation Fish = Fisch, Mouse = Maus
or both: Arm, Ring
Besides, there's a great deal of German loan words that habe been incorporated into the English language (UK and USA likeweise)
west germanic or not.... they are completely different... and very hard to pronounce and its not like the letters are pronounced the same... i find italian and spanish much easier!!
But really curious is that (in your youtube profile) you mention the nazi language band RAMMSTEIN as one of your favourite bands - a band that also was fancied by the German neo nazi party NPD...
@mackunta rammstein has nothing to do with nazis... the last album of the band is banned here in germany, nut not for nazi propaganda but explicit lyrics concerning s&m.

@omgrobbiee pronunciation is easy? there are many louds you don´t have in english langue.
The uvula "r", the long "e", long "o", "ä", "ö", "ü" for example
JakobRobert00 1 year ago
@JakobRobert00 Just because English doesn't have those sounds doesn't mean they're not easy to pronounce. There are many sounds in different languages throughout the world that aren't in the English language, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't be able to pronounce them easily. Besides, it makes sense. German and English are both Germanic languages. If your native tongue is a Germanic language in the first place, speaking another Germanic language should come fairly natural.

@omgrobbiee yes, right. we as germans also learned the sounds "o", "th", "r" and "w" in the english language. and it doesnt seem that hard to pronounce.

@omgrobbiee Word order is soo hard for me to grasp. Still trying for fluency in German.

@ipassedgas77 Yes it is. They speak "backwords" compared to English.
Example: Ich will zu dem Laden gehen können. (Literally: I want to the store to go to be able)
It's crazy for us English speakers.

@omgrobbiee WOW :D It's easy for you because you have a talent, but other English speakers near where I live cannot pronounce rubish!

@fenixsatellite You do realize that what you typed is to be pronounced as Roobish...rubbish has two b's to make it pronounced the way that it is pronounced.

and other nazis
APdocumentary 2 years ago
You are right - that's why I wrote: "...is also the mother tongue of..." because I knew that your answer would be something like Eichmann, Goebbels, Mengele, etc.
Anyway, fact is that about 120 million vistors per year, beside about 7 million people (nearly half of the population of your country) from all over the world who live in Germany, learn and speak at least a little bit of this language. Doesn't matter if you call it "nazi language" or whatever...

@mackunta I absolutely agree. We have a lot to thank the Germans for, oustanding literature, scientific breakthrough, beautiful classical music, that's just naming a few. Germany is a beautiful land with great culture and history. Unfortunately an anti-christ was dropped on them and has scarred them forever. It's not right to keep stabbing them in their scars just to break them open again. Germans have been through enough, time to MOVE on!! Ich liebe Deutschland!!

@ipassedgas77 yeah, i mean, remember the berlin wall? germans have paid a lot for what happened in wwII. and not to mention before hitler was elected, half the germans were communists and didn't vote for him...
pubeafro 1 year ago
@ipassedgas77 I agree, Germany isent the only country with bad stuff in there history but it is one of the few countrys that seem to have learned something from it. Just look how they have delt with ww2 in there movies, like the downfall and stalingrad. Italy and Japan could take example and so could Finland, we didnt do so many nasty things as the three previous but our wars werent exactly clean either.

@MsDjessa And German has the group of the most popular thinkers in this Earth(Beethoven, Sebastian Bach, Weber and others) so the German's history isn't intirely bad. Hitler was a genius, too bad that his used his brain for... Too bad. =/ German is usually named as Das Land der Dichter und Denker (translate it yourself and enjoy!) ;D

"Who wants to learn this nazi language?"
In 2008, we have had 114.962.391 tourist arrivals here in Germany - by far most of them (by percent) came from your country and nearly all of them speak at least a little bit of this nazi language.
Does this answer your question?

Actually, English and German descend from the common ancestor language West Germanic. That's why there are lots of English words that idenentical to their German lexical counterparts:
spelling: Hand, Sand, Finger
pronunciation Fish = Fisch, Mouse = Maus
or both: Arm, Ring
Besides, there's a great deal of German loan words that habe been incorporated into the English language (UK and USA likeweise)

But really curious is that (in your youtube profile) you mention the nazi language band RAMMSTEIN as one of your favourite bands - a band that also was fancied by the German neo nazi party NPD...
mackunta 2 years ago
@mackunta rammstein has nothing to do with nazis... the last album of the band is banned here in germany, nut not for nazi propaganda but explicit lyrics concerning s&m.

German is even difficult for germans.
I know a lot of people who can't speak correct sentences, because they are too stupid.
Even if they are born in Germany in live there for 30 years, they still have problems.

Versuch mal die Vordrucke vom Finanzamt zu verstehen.
Ich lebe seit über vierzig Jahren in Deutschland und ich schreibe denen jedes mal, sie sollen den Typ, der sich die Anleitung zum Ausfüllen der Vordrucke ausdenkt besser kontrollieren und überwachen, damit der sich mehr Mühe gibt und die Anleitung auch verständlich und hilfreich ist nicht nur für die "Tonne" produziert wird.
