[YohannesF16]

[YohannesF16]

I am not German but i am lerning Deutsch, anyway wanna say that ,it's better to compare schön Plus an adjective as in schön glatt , schön warm etc to the English modifier and adject combination as in , pretty good , pretty tired ,pretty cold etc...

[satansatan777]

@YohannesF16 am learning German now .... the way u put schön in German and pretty in English wow ... i do appreciate your analogy .... i cant pass without responding to this ... bravo

[Jumsurr]

I am German and in my opinion the translation at 0:35 is not correct. "Das Eis ist schön glatt." is not "The ice is nice and smooth." but rather "The ice is nicely smooth.". This is because "schön" acts as an adverb here and refers to "glatt", not to "das Eis".

[wolverine143]

I'm from germany and I can tell that nobody would say: Das eis ist schön glatt.

Maybe: Das Eis ist sehr glatt(The Ice is very slippy)

[tiborkun]

this method of schön glatt is simple mistake!!!!!!!!!I asked native germanian,they told me. Please check the english subtitle!!!You can see!!!!!!!!

[lmcteixeira2]

Hum!! Ich habe alles jetzt verstanden! Super!!

Vielen Dank für die Aufmerksamkeit!

=)

[lmcteixeira2]

Hey, your videos have helped a lot! Vielen Dank!

Aber habe ich einen Frage:

If "holen" is accusative, why "Sie holen DAS Wasser" and not "Sie holen DEN Wasser"?

Viel Grüsse!

[ichbins57]

@lmcteixeira2 "Wasser" has got the article "das", so "Das Wasser" is neuter. The conjugation forms of the define neuter article are: das (Wasser), des (Wassers), dem (Wasser), DAS (Wasser).

Viel Grüsse back! ;D

How would one say; nice and beautiful; schöne schöne ?

[sarahx3oo]

@chrshammer :

nice - schön

beautiful - wunderschön

German is a difficult language ;-)

I know it, because i'm from germany, but my english is not the best :D

[DanetLix]

omg thanks! these vids have helped me a lot!!

[titochion]

usefull...thks pal

[shotstopper91]

I have a question.

Why is it " schoen warm " and not " schoen und warm "?

Anyway, I find your videos very helpful. Keep up the good work.

[DeutschOnlineLernen]

Thank you very much for your question.

"schön" can be an adjective such as "nice, beautiful", or an adverb such as "nicely, beautifully".

1. Der Schnee ist schön.

Here "schön" is an adjective because it is linked to the noun "Schnee".

2. Das Wasser ist schön warm.

Here "schön" is an adverb as it modifies the adjective "warm".

[DeutschOnlineLernen]

English prefers the hendiadys "nice and warm" consisting of two independent adjectives, rather than using "nicely warm", while in German we have the adverb-adjective combination "schön warm" to express the same idea.

I hope this helps.

[bbretelle]

Could you tell me, please, whether it is possible to translate "schön warm" like "pretty warm"? Or "nice and warm" is better?

[tvr390se]

@DeutschOnlineLernen

Could "nett warm" replace "schön warm"  equally well here?

Also, an unrelated question. Have Germans largely given up on linguistic formality with strangers? One of these lessens starts with "Was machst Du?" but I've never seen it explained that "Was machen Sie?" means the exact same thing if you ask that to a person. Of course "Was machen Sie?" can also mean "they".
