German Lesson 13 - the Regular Present Tense - 1' Part

[balengofoo]

Never mind the "regular" bit. In German, for each rule there are at least five exceptions you need to learn, defying the purpose of the tons of rules that crowd a most tedious grammar.

It could be worse?

Yes, if it was Klingon.

Is Du and Ihr the same?

[Angad1706]

@dkpai05 hey, they're both the same person (2nd person) but Du is singular and Ihr is plural. Ihr is like saying 'you all'.

[dkpai05]

@Angad1706 Got it. Thanks.

[xXRubix21Xx]

Verbs are much worse in Spanish. (three verb families with different conjugations and 12 or so tenses)

[twittlypoo]

So I know what "kauf" is, but I also hear germans saying "einkaufen"? What does that mean?

[xxElementOnexx]

@twittlypoo einkaufen means "to shop." Its a separable-prefix verb.

do you ment to learn 1 video a day or all of them coz im trying to store much as i can with all the videos lol please somebody get back to me coz im tired of overworking...

[IchliebeTokioHotel17]

Do you do more advanced videos? I mean these are great, but they're too easy for me. I need stuff like adj or adv endings, and different types of verbs conjugation. Irregular verbs mostly. Do you do that?

It in German is "ES" and that is usually easy to follow but on occasions insteady of referring to an object as "es" it is referred to as a der or die. I can't follow when that should occure and why? For example: Der liegt auf dem Tisch. "It lays (is laying) on the table. Why isn't it: Es liegt? and if I said it as "Es lieft" would a native German think I botched the sentence? Is there a rule of thumb to help understand when an object is called die/der instead of "Es"?

[Duploking1]

@TheVille1980 it depends on the sex of the word or the person

for example:"the window is open" "DAS Fenster ist offen" "Fenster" is neutral so "DAS" also you can say "es ist offen."

or "she lays on her bed" "sie liegt auf ihrem Bett"

"The pen lays on the table" "DER Stift liegt auf dem Tisch/ ER liegt auf dem Tisch" because "Stift" ="pen" is male

[HesseJamez]

@TheVille1980

"Der" is a male article - so anything male lies on the table. Can be a human man or just a key (f.e) which also has a male gender. (key= der Schlüssel).

"Das" is a neuter article, used for neuter things. Works like "the(neuter)" or "that" ."Es" means "it" but we use it for neuter things only !!! If a male thing (a train, f.e) arrives we say "he comes" in literal translation.

If a woman or a female thing ( a cloud, f.e) arrives we say "she comes" in literal translation.
