im confused i thought Wie meant how or when not what

[girl4teaching]

@reno17420 do you mean "wie heißt du" which corresponds to "what's your name"? the reason is that you can never have perfect equivalence between two languages, that's why you can't translate such fixed expressions word for word from one language to another. In this case the German "wie" corresponds to the English "what"

''Wie geht es dir?'' is informal. ''Wie geht es ihnen?'' is formal :)

I cannot believe on a German language speaking video you cannot NOT mention jews. Do you not have enoug pride in your country. Do you have to crawl and grovel all your lives and always be deferential to jews. Never mind that Germany defended Europe from bolveshevist take over of all of Europe and that the holocaust is a complete lie, completely refuted by evidence that you Germans are not allowed research and see. Your country is run by marxists and liars. The Germans used to be a great people.

It's very too fast for beginner

[MsRollgardina]

@sxcpaintball Yes, it must be the other way round. (Wie geht es Ihnen= formal).

[sxcpaintball]

1:44 I think is backwards, you wrote Wie geht es Ihnen? as informal and Wie geht es dir? as formal...

[kaitiekanu]

@girl4teaching  it also directly translates to how are you called.
