Basic German - Self Introduction (Selbstvorstellung)

[RadioCity96]

Hallo, Ich heiße Adina, und ich komme aus New York :) ich habe fünf Brüder und ein schwester. sie ist seiben jahre alt. ich bin sechzehen jahre alt.

did i say that right???

[framerunner1987]

@RadioCity96 not bad. Corrections: "eine Schwester.", "sieben" (might be a typo from you).

[RadioCity96]

@framerunner1987 do you add the 'e' after ein when its a feminine noun?? and yeah the sieben thing was a typo haha, i usually spell it right.

[framerunner1987]

@RadioCity96 yes, you add an "e" to "ein" if it's a feminine noun.

but only when it's feminine, other then that, it's just "ein" i.e. "ein Bruder" (or "einen Bruder") "ein Auto".

If you have more questions, feel free to ask/conact me ;)

[RadioCity96]

@framerunner1987 what does Einen bruder mean? more then one brother??

[framerunner1987]

@RadioCity96 "Ein Bruder" (or: "Einen Bruder") = a brother (one)

German and english are not that much different ;)

For more than one brother you'd say: "Ich habe viele Brüder" (= I have many brothers) or "Ich habe mehrere Brüder" (= I have multiple brothers)

If you want to be more precise "Ich habe drei Brüder" (= I have three brothers, you might replace "drei" with the correct number)

[RadioCity96]

@framerunner1987 ohh ok. but why do you add 'En' at the end of Ein if it means the same thing??

[framerunner1987]

@RadioCity96 Because it's the proper way to say it xD

Hard to explain for me, I'm not a teacher ^^'

You CAN say "ein Bruder" but it's the laizy way to say it.

(And also, grammatical incorrect)

Actually, if you'd say the sentence "Ich habe ein Bruder" you'd say "ein'n Bruder" (erasing/swallowing the "e"), but as I said, this is the laizy way and you should first learn to speak proper, before talking like that ;D

But most germans won't even notice I guess. (common way to talk...)

[RadioCity96]

@framerunner1987 ohhhhhhhh! ok that makes more sense. yeah cause in Spanish its kind of the same. to say your going somewhere and the noun is masculine you change "a el" to just "al"

[MegaPooh123456]

ich habe einen bruder nicht ein :)

[callee99]

"Firme" is false. "Firma" is right.("Unternehmen" is better german)

"Brüder" is plural. "Ein Bruder" would be correct.

''Hallo! Ich heiße Juergen und komme ich aus Singapur'' is wrong ..

it means in english ''Hello! My name is Juergen and come i from Singapore''

''Hallo! Ich heiße Juergen und ICH komme aus Singapur'' is right :D

[croown2]

Hi r u in Singapore? U r German rgt?

[ennamausi]

Hey, i'm from germany! As already said it must be: ich heiße juergen und komme aus singapur, without a second "ich"! And in german the word city hall is: Rathaus!

[charlesaaron]

ok thanks a lot! =)

[schockimocki]

I found a little mistake. It must be "... und ich komme aus Singapur" instead of "... und komme ich ...". Anyway, good work. Thank you very much. Keep on making this training videos!
