hello there, thanks for the lesson. it's really helpful. can i ask few quetions?

1- what is the different between 'Wagen 'and 'Auto'?

2- in your vocabulary part, you have wrote

'der Erfolg, -(e)s, Erfolge' what do you mean by ' -(e)s ' ?

[DeutschOnlineLernen]

1. There is no difference between "Wagen" and "Auto" if you are talking about a usual "car", "motorcar", or "automobile".

But "Wagen" is also used for other kinds of trolleys, carts, or carriages. Usually, you would not call such a vehicle "Auto".

2. In lesson 4 (at 4 min 24 sec) we saw that the vocabulary entries of masculine and neuter nouns are usually followed by their genitive singular endings.

The genitive of "der Erfolg" can be "des Erfolgs" or "des Erfolges" with no difference in meaning. With "Erfolg" both genitive endings, "-s" and "-es" are very common. If this is the case, you will find both endings written in this combined form "-(e)s" in the entry.

There are quite a few ways to distinguish without memorizing but of course there are always exceptions and so many that don't fit any rule that the best idea is always always always to memorize the article along with the word. So ways to tell are endings of the noun: -ung, -keit, and -heit are always feminine (die). -chen, -lein are always neuter (das). There are a lot of them but there are also a lot of exceptions. These five will always prove true though. Still, article + noun, always!

I just started studying the german language by myself alone through the internet. I find the lesson here really a big help. Thumbs up. It makes learning a bit easier. :) Danke!

@Karash770 yes you are correct thank you :)

[Karash770]

@pattytm175 Personally I tend to use the informal "you" with children, family members and people I'm more familiar with, but there are no real "strict rules" on when to use it and it can even become problematic when you're not sure which one would be more appropriate. In an anonymous online environment, the informal you is also usually the best choice.

@ShockinglyRelaxing To be a nitpicker: correct would be "Ich habe es den ganzen Tag [lang] gesprochen".

[ShockinglyRelaxing]

deutsch ist eine geile sprache . . . ich habe es die ganzen tag sprechen :)

[pattytm175]

Thank you for these lessons- oh how I wish that DW were available on our cable system! Could you please tell me when the usage of the formal you faded away?

Or is the formal you used only in specific situations. Could you please explain? 40 years ago we were not instructed in the use of the informal you!
