Can anyone teach me German

There are no private lessons or 1-on-1 tutoring offered here as everyone is a volunteer offering their help for free.
The purpose of this server is to help you put the skills you learn elsewhere into practice, for example by allowing you to chat in German, or by allowing you to receive help and feedback on your questions and work. As such, it's just one of many tools that can help you learn the language.

Are there still some kind of lessons here?
Yes! Our lovely volunteer hosts organise lessons and fun sessions from time to time. These are different from classroom lessons and are not meant to replace them. To find out more, check out #lesson-info!

How else can I use this server to learn German?
For more information about how the server works and how it can help you learn German, check out #info and #getting-started!

faq um zu

Usage of zu

Usage of ZU
Zu is a word that has a lot of uses.
As a preposition it means “to/towards”. (see >ex Dative and >ex Prepositions of Place Part 1)

But it can also be used to indicate an infinitive/gerund in a sentence, for example:
(1) Es ist schwierig, Deutsch zu lernen. = “Learning German is hard.” or ”It’s hard to learn German.”
As you can see, the zu is placed before the infinitive verb that has no prefix or a non-separable prefix. For verbs with a separable prefix, the zu goes between the prefix and the verb with no space in between:
(2) Ich habe heute bloß vor, Essen einzukaufen. = I only plan to buy food today.

You can also see it in the um...zu structure, where it means ”in order to”.
The um goes to the beginning of the phrase and zu works the same way as explained above.
(3) Wir sind zum Supermarkt gegangen, um etwas Brot zu kaufen. = We went to the shop (in order) to buy some bread.
(4) Ich lerne Deutsch, um mit Deutschen reden zu können. = I am learning German (in order) to be able to speak to Germans.
‼you can use um...zu only if the people doing both actions are the same. So in the examples above:
• in (3) we go and we buy bread
• in (4) I learn and I speak
❌ *ich gebe ihm ein Geschenk, um er glücklich zu sein - This and other weird stuffs are WRONG!
🌟 Bonus: When you want to say in order to, but the subjects are different, you use the subordinate conjunction damit.

**AI-generated text**

This FAQ explains rules and advice for using text AI tools such as ChatGPT.

🔹 **Server rules regarding this topic:**
  • Do not answer any questions by using AI-generated text.
  • Do not ask for AI-generated text to be corrected.
🔹 **Problems with using AI for answers and corrections**
  • No fact-checking: Tools like ChatGPT are very good at writing texts and often provide answers that sound good, but they are not capable of fact-checking their own answers.

  • Fake information: It’s very common for these programs to make up fake or incomplete information, which is explained convincingly but is mostly wrong.

  • Non-deterministic: The information is also partially randomly generated, meaning that if you ask the same question multiple times, you will usually end up with different answers.

  • No language knowledge: It shouldn't be used for grammar or vocabulary questions, as it doesn't understand linguistics, nuance, or how a native speaker might actually use a given word or grammar point.

  • Missing context: When correcting texts it needs to understand what the writer was trying to express. As such it may miss mistakes or correct things that don't need to be corrected.

🔹 **Reasons NOT to use generative AI for learning**
  • It delays the development of important skills in language learning.
    Relying too much on AI generated texts or solutions may get in the way of learning the necessary skills of language acquisition, such as how to look up words or phrases in a dictionary, using critical thinking, or actually applying learned concepts.

  • AI is not designed to guide learners.
    If you ask an AI a question, it will provide you with information, whereas if you ask a human, they will ideally ask you to show your understanding and offer advice on how to find the answer.

  • AI output requires scrutiny
    AI output must be verified, but beginners to German or to language learning often lack the knowledge or experience to do so.

🔹 **Good uses of AI-generated text**
  • Ask ChatGPT to come up with some story ideas that you can write about.

German letters

Being able to type German letters is quite important!

  • Schon = already. Schön = beautiful.
  • Mutter = mother. Mütter = mothers.

How to? There are several options.
🔸 Use a program like AutoHotkey. Download the program from https://www.autohotkey.com/ and read the pinned message in #resources for instructions on how to set it up. It can be used with any keyboard layout and the hotkeys can be customised.

🔸 US International layout: this is basically just a US keyboard layout with extra characters, so if you're using a US-style keyboard or something similar, the transition is very easy! Everything stays as you know it, except that some of the symbol keys can be used to create the special characters. For example " + a = ä. You can also do RightAlt + s = ß.
To use US International on Windows, look for the Region & Language options and switch your selected keyboard layout to US International.

🔸 If you are on Mac, there are two simple possibilities:

  • The accent menu - Pressing and holding a letter key will display multiple variants of the letter, including umlauts, which can then be selected using the number keys.
  • Dead keys - Pressing Option + u, then pressing a, u, or o, respectively, will display the umlaut variant of that letter. You can also press Option + s to enter ß.
    See this support article for more information:
    https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/enter-characters-with-accent-marks-on-mac-mh27474/mac

CEFR levels

If you see something like A1, B2 or C1, these represent the proficiency of a speaker in a language they're not native in, and are called CEFR levels. They are valid for any language, not only German!
Roughly speaking, A levels are beginners and C levels are experts. Remember that CEFR level are self-assessed and indicative!
You can see more specific names and descriptions on the Wikipedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_European_Framework_of_Reference_for_Languages

🗨 How do I know what level I am?
If the table on Wikipedia is too generic for you, you can try using this one here:
https://rm.coe.int/168045bb52
Just check each column one at a time: if you can do all it describes, move to the next column. Your level is the highest where you can do the most things.

Alternatively, you can use this questionnaire to estimate your level more accurately:

How to get started - Part 2

Please make sure to read Part 1 before starting Part 2!

Part 2 – Beyond a Simple Sentence

1: Conjunctions (coordinating and subordinating)
2: Subordinate clause word order
3: Dative case
4: Dative verbs
5: Verbs with two objects (e.g. geben)
6: Prepositions (accusative, dative, and two-way)
7: Spoken past tense (Perfekt)
8: Written past tense (Präteritum)
9: Genitive case

Tips
  • Make sure to practice writing and reading simple texts
  • Some of these concepts are confusing to start with, so it’s a good idea to ask for help in #questions when you’re unsure
  • You should use a declension chart to help with declension to start with, because you won’t be able to memorize it straight away
  • After you feel confident with creating sentences, you can start learning the adjective declension properly by using the command >faq adjective declension and reading the guide provided

German letters

Being able to type German letters is quite important!

  • Schon = already. Schön = beautiful.
  • Mutter = mother. Mütter = mothers.

How to? There are several options.
🔸 Use a program like AutoHotkey. Download the program from https://www.autohotkey.com/ and read the pinned message in #resources for instructions on how to set it up. It can be used with any keyboard layout and the hotkeys can be customised.

🔸 US International layout: this is basically just a US keyboard layout with extra characters, so if you're using a US-style keyboard or something similar, the transition is very easy! Everything stays as you know it, except that some of the symbol keys can be used to create the special characters. For example " + a = ä. You can also do RightAlt + s = ß.
To use US International on Windows, look for the Region & Language options and switch your selected keyboard layout to US International.

🔸 If you are on Mac, there are two simple possibilities:

  • The accent menu - Pressing and holding a letter key will display multiple variants of the letter, including umlauts, which can then be selected using the number keys.
  • Dead keys - Pressing Option + u, then pressing a, u, or o, respectively, will display the umlaut variant of that letter. You can also press Option + s to enter ß.
    See this support article for more information:
    https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/enter-characters-with-accent-marks-on-mac-mh27474/mac

See the next page for more alternatives.

Umlauts

Umlauts - ä, ö, ü
Along with the 26 letters of its alphabet, German also possesses the umlaut, a diacritic in the form of two dots placed over the letters a, o, u to form ä, ö, and ü. Umlaut means something akin to altered sound and this is reflected in the fact that the pronunciation of the umlauted vowels are quite different from the non-umlauted vowels.

🗨️ How do I type ä, ö, ü?
See >faq keyboard on how to type umlauts.

If you cannot type the umlauts, you can add an e to the non-diacritic vowel to represent an umlaut. For example, you can represent öffnen as oeffnen.

Umlauts can never be replaced with their non-diacritic versions. In other words, you cannot replace ö with o when spelling words like öffnen. Some words only differ by the vowel sound, for example schwul (gay) and schwül (humid, sultry).

🗨️ How do I pronounce ä, ö, ü?
See the next few pages for more info on pronunciation.

Seeing verbs

In German, there are a few different verbs describing the act of seeing. The most important ones are sehen, schauen, zuschauen, anschauen, zusehen and ansehen.

🔸 sehen (sieht, sah, hat gesehen) is the closest translation to “see”. It indicates an ability to see something.
(1) Ich sehe dich. (I can see you.)
(2) Siehst du das Auto? (Can you see the car?)

🔸 schauen (schaut, schaute, hat geschaut) is similar to English “look”. It indicates that you are actively trying to see something or looking in a particular direction. You usually use it together with some prepositional phrase that indicates the target. Schauen does not take a direct object! The verb gucken means the same as schauen, which one is used is mostly regional.
(3) Ich schaue aus dem Fenster. (I am looking out of the window.)
(4) Sie schaute unter den Tisch. (She looked under the table.)
‼ There are a lot of idioms with schauen, such as nach jmdm. schauen “to look after someone” and auf etw. schauen “to guard sth.”

🔸 anschauen means “to look at sth”. You use it when indicating that you are looking at an object. zuschauen on the other hand indicates you’re looking at an action.
anschauen requires an accusative object, but zuschauen requires dative.
(5) Ich schaue die Landschaft an. (I am looking at the landscape.)
(6) Ich schaue den Kindern zu. (I am watching the children (doing sth).)

🔸 ansehen and zusehen mean the same thing as anschauen and zuschauen respectively.
(7) Sie sehen uns an. (They are looking at us.)

CEFR levels

If you see something like A1, B2 or C1, these represent the proficiency of a speaker in a language they're not native in, and are called CEFR levels. They are valid for any language, not only German!
Roughly speaking, A levels are beginners and C levels are experts. Remember that CEFR level are self-assessed and indicative!
You can see more specific names and descriptions on the Wikipedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_European_Framework_of_Reference_for_Languages

🗨 How do I know what level I am?
If the table on Wikipedia is too generic for you, you can try using this one here:
https://rm.coe.int/168045bb52
Just check each column one at a time: if you can do all it describes, move to the next column. Your level is the highest where you can do the most things.

Alternatively, you can use this questionnaire to estimate your level more accurately:

Anki
What is Anki?

Anki is a free and very versatile flashcard program that is often used for learning new vocabulary. You can import spreadsheets to quickly create your own flashcards, and you can add your own images and audio for highly custom flashcard decks. You can also access and use a wide range of community created and shared flashcard decks all for free*.

Note: Anki uses a method of learning called spaced repetition. Flashcards and spaced repetition are one of many techniques used for language learning. However, we all learn differently and while these methods work for many people, they may not necessarily work for you. Give it a try, but don’t be disheartened if these methods aren’t right for you. Even if flashcards and spaced repetition work for you, don’t forget to incorporate other forms of practice. E.g. try using your new vocabulary to write your own practice sentences.

Where To Get It

It is available here on PC, Mac, Linux, iPhone, and Android. You can also find the browser AnkiWeb version here.

Manually adding basic cards is quite simple, but making custom templates is a bit more complex. Basementality has put together this handy guide for making custom card types and decks. You can also find Anki’s documentation / instruction guide here.

*The iPhone app AnkiMobile costs $24.99 USD on the iTunes store. The Android app and all other platforms are completely free. The mobile browser version of AnkiWeb is still available for free on iPhones.

See the next page for some helpful tips on creating your flashcards.

Doch

doch for beginners
Germans tend to use the word doch in lots of different situations. But what does it mean, and when do you use it? ⁉

🔆 Using doch to contradict negative statements 🔆
You can use doch to contradict a negative statement/question in the same manner as you would use nein to contradict a positive statement.

(1) Laura hat keinen Fernseher, oder? - Doch, sie hat einen Fernseher!
Laura doesn't have a TV, does she? - Yes, she does!
(2) Du kannst kein Schach spielen! - Doch, das kann ich!
You can't play chess! - Yes, I can!
💡 With doch, correctly answering negative questions (with positive tags) has never been easier. Isn't that awesome? Doch, it is! 😏

🔅 Using doch as an adversative conjunction 🔅
You can also use doch as an adversative conjunction (yet, however, ...).

(3) Du hattest genug Zeit, doch du hast nicht für die Prüfung gelernt.
You had enough time, yet you didn't study for the exam.
(4) Es ist noch nicht Sommer, doch es ist fast genauso heiß.
It is not yet summer, it is, however, almost as hot.
‼ Keep in mind that doch as an adversative conjunction doesn't change the word order. ‼

🔅 Using doch as a subjunctive 🔅
Furthermore, you can use doch in concessive clauses.

(5) Auch wenn wir erwarteten, zu verlieren, so haben wir das Spiel doch gewonnen.
Though we expected to lose, we still won the game.
(6) Obwohl sie sehr nett ist, findet sie doch keine neuen Freunde.
Although she's very kind, she doesn't make new friends.

Duolingo

Duolingo is a decent resource to start with if you're a complete beginner, but it's neither efficient nor comprehensive!

What Duolingo will teach you about grammar is very limited, and none of the systems they use will help you practise much of it.
You can learn some vocabulary with it, but their method (based on the concept of spaced repetition) doesn't work for everybody, and the way Duolingo teaches is not very effective compared to the amount of time it requires from you.

So, if you find it useful, by all means keep using it, but remember not to fall for its gamification of language learning, and move past it when it stops being beneficial. Ignore the streaks.

In any case, keep in mind that Duolingo is not enough to learn a language, ever.

Duolingo

Duolingo is a decent resource to start with if you're a complete beginner, but it's neither efficient nor comprehensive!

What Duolingo will teach you about grammar is very limited, and none of the systems they use will help you practise much of it.
You can learn some vocabulary with it, but their method (based on the concept of spaced repetition) doesn't work for everybody, and the way Duolingo teaches is not very effective compared to the amount of time it requires from you.

So, if you find it useful, by all means keep using it, but remember not to fall for its gamification of language learning, and move past it when it stops being beneficial. Ignore the streaks.

In any case, keep in mind that Duolingo is not enough to learn a language, ever.

If you're looking for guidance or alternatives, check out >faq beginner in our #botchannel .

Factors that influence learning a language

The following factors (and many others) can influence how easily or quickly you learn German. Remember that everyone is different and these factors will influence different people in different ways.

Native language

As an example, if your native language is English, you may need more time than someone who speaks Dutch.

Previous language learning

Some learners find it easier to learn German if they have already learned a foreign language, or if they have a natural ability to learn languages.

Methods

Some are able to identify what type of learner they are, and leverage that to their benefit.

Discipline and Motivation

Learning a language is fun and exciting at first, but it can be easy to lose motivation and become less disciplined very quickly.

Consistency

Learning a little bit each day every week is generally considered better than studying for several hours, one day per week.

Grammar

The time needed to acquire grammar passively is quite large, so German learners who actively study grammar typically make less grammar mistakes as they progress.

Exposure and immersion

Interacting with native speakers and consuming native content such as the news, magazines, books, movies, podcasts, etc. can help tremendously with achieving an idiomatic usage of the language.

Training each ability equally

Listening, reading, speaking, writing, translating and interpreting are all various abilities associated with language learning. Training these abilities equally is important to ensure that a person can not only pass a language test, but also have the ability to use the language in various contexts while demonstrating great control over grammar.

faq Two way prepositions

lean flickerBOT
#
Two-way prepositions

Two-way prepositions (or dual prepositions) are prepositions that govern the accusative or dative case. Ten prepositions have this property, namely:

an     auf      entlang    hinter    in
neben  über     unter      vor       zwischen

Generally, these prepositions are used with the accusative if they express a direction or change of position. They are used with the dative if they express location.

For example, the verb etw. an etw. hängen can be used to express both meanings depending on the intention:

Ich hänge das Bild an die Wand. (I am hanging the picture on the wall.)
Das Bild hängt an der Wand. (The picture is hanging on the wall.)

Expressing direction vs. location

It is important to note that the accusative should only be used if something has moved from one position to another. If movement has been indicated, but the location has not changed, then the dative should be used. For example,

Der Hund läuft in den Park. (The dog ran (from somewhere) into the park.)
Der Hund läuft im Park (herum). (The dog is running in the park.)

The dative is usually used with verbs of arriving, appearing and disappearing

Even though these verbs indicate direction, they are still used with dative rather than accusative.

Sie kamen am Bahnhof an.
Sie landeten auf dem Mond.
Das Pferd verschwand hinter dem Berg.

Accusative

The accusative case (der Akkusativ) is one of the four cases of the German language. A case affects how a noun or noun phrase is inflected, and indicates the role of the noun or noun phrase in a clause.

How do I decline in the accusative case?

Feminine and neuter nouns and adjectives are the same as nominative. Masculine determiners, adjectives, and weak nouns gain an -en ending::

Ich esse den/einen/keinen kleinen Apfel.

Personal pronouns differ for:

ich --> mich
du --> dich
er --> ihn
wir --> uns
ihr --> euch

accusative vs dative

Both accusative case and dative case are used for objects in a sentence. This FAQ explains when to use each case. It’s recommended to learn and practice each of the following subtopics separately.

Verbs with 1 Object

For the majority of verbs, they have one object and the object is accusative. However, sometimes the object is dative. For example, "helfen": “Ich helfe dir.” You can find a list of these dative verbs here. Rarely, verbs also have genitive objects, but this is so uncommon that you don’t need to actively learn them.

Verbs with 2 Objects

For verbs with 2 objects, the following rule typically applies: the direct object is accusative and the indirect object is dative. For example: Ich gebe dem Mann das Buch. A very small number of verbs have 2 accusative objects. The only common example of that is “lehren”.

Prepositions with 1 Case

For most prepositions, you can just memorise which case the prepositions uses. For example, “mit” always has a dative object while “ohne” always has an accusative object.

Two-Way Prepositions

Some prepositions can have either an accusative or dative object, depending on the exact meaning. The basic explanation is that dative objects are for describing the location of something, while accusative is used to describe a change of location. Specifically, in the accusative version, the person/object starts in one place and ends in a different place.

Dative (location): Ich bin im Haus. (I am in the house.)
Accusative (change of location): Ich gehe in das Haus. (I walk into the house.)

Please note that the accusative version does not mean “movement”. Movement that happens all in one location will still be dative.

Dative (location): Ich gehe im Park. (I am walking inside the park.)
Accusative (change of location): Ich gehe in den Park. (I go to the park./I walk into the park.)

Duolingo

Duolingo is a decent resource to start with if you're a complete beginner, but it's neither efficient nor comprehensive!

What Duolingo will teach you about grammar is very limited, and none of the systems they use will help you practise much of it.
You can learn some vocabulary with it, but their method (based on the concept of spaced repetition) doesn't work for everybody, and the way Duolingo teaches is not very effective compared to the amount of time it requires from you.

So, if you find it useful, by all means keep using it, but remember not to fall for its gamification of language learning, and move past it when it stops being beneficial. Ignore the streaks.

In any case, keep in mind that Duolingo is not enough to learn a language, ever.

If you're looking for guidance or alternatives, check out >faq beginner in our #botchannel .

CEFR levels

If you see something like A1, B2 or C1, these represent the proficiency of a speaker in a language they're not native in, and are called CEFR levels. They are valid for any language, not only German!
Roughly speaking, A levels are beginners and C levels are experts. Remember that CEFR level are self-assessed and indicative!
You can see more specific names and descriptions on the Wikipedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_European_Framework_of_Reference_for_Languages

🗨 How do I know what level I am?
If the table on Wikipedia is too generic for you, you can try using this one here:
https://rm.coe.int/168045bb52
Just check each column one at a time: if you can do all it describes, move to the next column. Your level is the highest where you can do the most things.

Alternatively, you can use this questionnaire to estimate your level more accurately:

faq negation

lean flickerBOT
#
Negation

Negations or negative sentences in German are formed with either kein or nicht.

You use kein if you want to negate nouns with an indefinite article or without an article, for example:
(1) Ich besitze kein Auto. (I don't own a car.)
(2) Ich habe keinen Hunger. (I'm not hungry.)

kein is always placed right before the noun you want to negate. Also note that you need to decline kein.

If you want to negate anything else you use nicht, for example:
(3) Ich schlafe nicht. (I don't sleep.) [verb]
(4) Ich habe gestern nicht geduscht. (I didn't shower yesterday.) [verb]
(5) Ich gehe nicht gerne schwimmen. (I don't like to go swimming.) [adverb]
(6) Es ist nicht heiß. (It's not hot.) [adjective]
(7) Ich habe nicht dich, sondern ihn gerufen. (I didn't call you, but him.) [pronoun]
(8) Das ist nicht Peters Fahrrad, sondern meins. (This isn't Peters bicycle, but mine.) [proper noun]
(9) Der Zug kommt nicht um 18 Uhr an. (The train doesn't arrive at 6pm.) [preposition]
(10) Ich habe nicht das Essen bezahlt, sondern die Getränke. (I didn't pay for the food, but for the drinks.) [definite article]

‼ Note that nicht almost always comes before the word it negates, unless you want to negate a verb.
If that's the case, it depends on the tense of the verb and on whether there is an auxiliary verb or not. nicht is placed right after the verb if the verb is in present or past tense. For compound tenses or when the sentence has an auxiliary it is placed before the verb.

faq Umlaut

lean flickerBOT
#
Umlauts

Umlauts - ä, ö, ü
Along with the 26 letters of its alphabet, German also possesses the umlaut, a diacritic in the form of two dots placed over the letters a, o, u to form ä, ö, and ü. Umlaut means something akin to altered sound and this is reflected in the fact that the pronunciation of the umlauted vowels are quite different from the non-umlauted vowels.

🗨️ How do I type ä, ö, ü?
See >faq keyboard on how to type umlauts.

If you cannot type the umlauts, you can add an e to the non-diacritic vowel to represent an umlaut. For example, you can represent öffnen as oeffnen.

Umlauts can never be replaced with their non-diacritic versions. In other words, you cannot replace ö with o when spelling words like öffnen. Some words only differ by the vowel sound, for example schwul (gay) and schwül (humid, sultry).

🗨️ How do I pronounce ä, ö, ü?
See the next few pages for more info on pronunciation.

faq wissen vs kennen

lean flickerBOT
#
Wissen and kennen

The verbs wissen and kennen both translate to know. However, in most cases they cannot be used interchangeably.

You should use wissen with information or facts, for example:
(1) Ich weiß, dass er Peter heißt. (I know his name is Peter.)
(2) Ich weiß nicht, wie alt er ist. (I don't know how old he is.)
(3) Ich weiß, wo er wohnt. (I know where he lives.)
(4) Ich weiß es. (I know it.)

🌟Note that wissen almost always requires a subordinate clause which starts with either dass, wie, wann, wo, wer, or warum.

The verb kennen is used to express that you are familiar with a person, place or simply a thing, for example:
(5) Ich kenne Maria. (I know Maria.)
(6) Ich kenne diesen Fluss. (I know that river.)
(7) Ich kenne das Buch. (I know the book.)
(8) Ich kenne ihn. (I know him.)

🌟 Note that kennen almost always refers to a noun or pronoun.

‼ As with every rule, there are certain exceptions, in which you can use either, for example:
(9) Ich weiß/kenne den Weg. (I know the way.)
(10) Ich weiß/kenne deinen Namen (I know your name.)

Although they are often used interchangeably in this context, the general rules explained above still apply to them.
The wissen sentence is purely about knowing the way/name, while the kennen sentence also means that you already went that way a few times or have heard that name somewhere before.

Beide vs. Beides

Both Beide and Beides mean both, then how to differentiate them?

🔸 Use beide if the items are of the same kind.
🔸 If the items are different, use beides.
- Ich will beide Äpfel!

- Möchten Sie Ketchup oder Mayo?
- Beides, danke.

🔸 With people you always use beide.

🔸 Article or no article?
An article is used when the people described are doing something together.
- Die beiden sind verlobt. (they are engaged to one another)
- Beide sind verlobt. (they are both engaged, each to their own significant other)

Note: other forms of beid* like beidem or beiden depend on grammatical case, see >explain case.

faq absentive

lean flickerBOT
#
The grammar of the absentiv

The abesentive takes the form: [subject] + [conjugated sein] + [infinitive of action verb] (e.g. Theo ist einkaufen).
The action verb is typically an intransitive verb, but can also be a transitive verb. It is additionally important to note that the absentiv should not have any local adverbs, or other syntactic indications of absence. I.e. weg and (weg)gegangen are not found in sentences that use the absentive. Additionally, the absentiv cannot be formed in combination with progressive forms such as am Einkaufen, beim Einkaufen, etc. Finally, the absentiv is typically built in the preterite (präteritum) and present tense.
E.g.
Er war arbeiten - He was away at work.
Ich bin pinkeln - I am away peeing.

More information

Unfortunately the amount of information available on the absentiv is fairly limited as it's both only typically used in spoken language, and is a fairly recent development within german language research. Thus explanations in grammar books are scarce, and the absentiv is typically not taught in Deutsch als Fremdsprache classes. However, you can read a bit about the absentiv here in Alle sind Deutschland … außer Fritz Eckenga – der ist einkaufen!, König 2009.

Contractions

A contraction (Verschmelzung or Schmelzwort) is a shortened form of a word or group of words created by omitting letters and sounds. Common examples of contractions in English are:

I'm = I am
won't = will not
let's = let us
-'re = are (e.g. we're walking home)

Contractions are often used in German, especially with prepositions and definite articles that take the accusative or dative (never the genitive). For example, zu dem is often shortened to zum, as seen here:

Pferd geht zum Zahnarzt.

Some contractions with prepositions are so common (see below) that they are effectively manadatory in normal speech. Writing the full form has the effect of emphasising the definite article, indicating that you are referring to a specific object. For example:

Pferd geht zu dem Zahnarzt, der ihm gestern empfohlen wurde.

Common contractions in German

These contractions are used very often and are acceptable in formal German.

ans = an das
am = an dem
beim = bei dem
im = in dem
ins = in das
vom = von dem
zum = zu dem
zur = zu der

Additionally, the pronoun es is often contracted when it comes directly after the verb in certain set phrases. For example, the greeting Wie geht es dir? is often contracted to Wie geht's dir?

Contractions in informal German

Contracting the article das to -s in prepositions is very commonly used in informal, spoken German, and sometimes appears in formal German in set phrases.

aufs = auf das
durchs = durch das
fürs = für das
übers = über das
ums = um das
unters = unter das

Contracting the article dem to -m is relatively common in spoken German with almost all prepositions. For example:

hinterm = hinter dem
überm = über dem
unterm = unter dem

Contracting the other articles can also occur, but this is relatively rare.

Nicos

Nicos Weg is a free online program aimed at helping people learn German. It includes video, audio, text, grammar explanations, notes, vocabulary, and exercises. It also includes very useful cultural and bureaucratic information, such as how to open a bank account, while teaching you the relevant grammar and vocabulary.

It’s fairly popular and well-recommended, but keep in mind that you can’t learn a language with only one resource, even if it’s a good one!

You can find the courses here: https://learngerman.dw.com/en/overview/

How long does it take to learn German?

According to the U.S. Foreign Service Institute (FSI), a person is estimated to require 750-900 hours of guided learning to reach B2 in German. However, study habits and other factors can drastically affect this estimation. These factors include your native language, previous language learning experience, the methods you use, your discipline and motivation, consistency, grammar, exposure and immersion, and training each ability equally. You can find an overview of these factors on page 3 of >faq best way to learn.

ℹ *Note*

The term "guided learning hours" refers to time spent learning with a more advanced language partner (such as a tutor), while making use of language materials (tools, texts and other resources). Guided learning hours, while very helpful, are not necessarily required to learn German. Many people learn German by self-studying, however, self-study hours are too variable to measure, and are consequently excluded from this definition and estimate.

Factors that influence learning a language

The following factors (and many others) can influence how easily or quickly you learn German. Remember that everyone is different and these factors will influence different people in different ways.

Native language

As an example, if your native language is English, you may need more time than someone who speaks Dutch.

Previous language learning

Some learners find it easier to learn German if they have already learned a foreign language, or if they have a natural ability to learn languages.

Methods

Some are able to identify what type of learner they are, and leverage that to their benefit.

Discipline and Motivation

Learning a language is fun and exciting at first, but it can be easy to lose motivation and become less disciplined very quickly.

Consistency

Learning a little bit each day every week is generally considered better than studying for several hours, one day per week.

Grammar

The time needed to acquire grammar passively is quite large, so German learners who actively study grammar typically make less grammar mistakes as they progress.

Exposure and immersion

Interacting with native speakers and consuming native content such as the news, magazines, books, movies, podcasts, etc. can help tremendously with achieving an idiomatic usage of the language.

Training each ability equally

Listening, reading, speaking, writing, translating and interpreting are all various abilities associated with language learning. Training these abilities equally is important to ensure that a person can not only pass a language test, but also have the ability to use the language in various contexts while demonstrating great control over grammar.

Can anyone teach me German

There are no private lessons or 1-on-1 tutoring offered here as everyone is a volunteer offering their help for free.
The purpose of this server is to help you put the skills you learn elsewhere into practice, for example by allowing you to chat in German, or by allowing you to receive help and feedback on your questions and work. As such, it's just one of many tools that can help you learn the language.

Are there still some kind of lessons here?
Yes! Our lovely volunteer hosts organise lessons and fun sessions from time to time. These are different from classroom lessons and are not meant to replace them. To find out more, check out #lesson-info!

What does this word mean?

The best way to understand the meaning of a word is to use a dictionary. Monolingual dictionaries such as dwds.de, de.wiktionary.org and duden.de will often provide the most accurate definitions and examples for a word. If you are not yet comfortable with using a monolingual dictionary, bilingual dictionaries are also an option (dict.cc, dict.leo.org, pons.com).

The key here is to empower yourself to find the answer on your own. Using the many examples provided in dictionaries like DWDS, Wiki and Duden can help you confidently understand the word, and how to use it. If you still have trouble; don't worry! You can use #questions, #questions-2 or the #942470380692590632 to ask someone for further clarification.

How long does it take to learn German?

According to the U.S. Foreign Service Institute (FSI), a person is estimated to require 750-900 hours of guided learning to reach B2 in German. However, study habits and other factors can drastically affect this estimation. These factors include your native language, previous language learning experience, the methods you use, your discipline and motivation, consistency, grammar, exposure and immersion, and training each ability equally. You can find an overview of these factors on page 3 of >faq best way to learn.

ℹ *Note*

The term "guided learning hours" refers to time spent learning with a more advanced language partner (such as a tutor), while making use of language materials (tools, texts and other resources). Guided learning hours, while very helpful, are not necessarily required to learn German. Many people learn German by self-studying, however, self-study hours are too variable to measure, and are consequently excluded from this definition and estimate.

Factors that influence learning a language

The following factors (and many others) can influence how easily or quickly you learn German. Remember that everyone is different and these factors will influence different people in different ways.

Native language

As an example, if your native language is English, you may need more time than someone who speaks Dutch.

Previous language learning

Some learners find it easier to learn German if they have already learned a foreign language, or if they have a natural ability to learn languages.

Methods

Some are able to identify what type of learner they are, and leverage that to their benefit.

Discipline and Motivation

Learning a language is fun and exciting at first, but it can be easy to lose motivation and become less disciplined very quickly.

Consistency

Learning a little bit each day every week is generally considered better than studying for several hours, one day per week.

Grammar

The time needed to acquire grammar passively is quite large, so German learners who actively study grammar typically make less grammar mistakes as they progress.

Exposure and immersion

Interacting with native speakers and consuming native content such as the news, magazines, books, movies, podcasts, etc. can help tremendously with achieving an idiomatic usage of the language.

Training each ability equally

Listening, reading, speaking, writing, translating and interpreting are all various abilities associated with language learning. Training these abilities equally is important to ensure that a person can not only pass a language test, but also have the ability to use the language in various contexts while demonstrating great control over grammar.

CEFR levels

If you see something like A1, B2 or C1, these represent the proficiency of a speaker in a language they're not native in, and are called CEFR levels. They are valid for any language, not only German!
Roughly speaking, A levels are beginners and C levels are experts. Remember that CEFR level are self-assessed and indicative!
You can see more specific names and descriptions on the Wikipedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_European_Framework_of_Reference_for_Languages

🗨 How do I know what level I am?
If the table on Wikipedia is too generic for you, you can try using this one here:
https://rm.coe.int/168045bb52
Just check each column one at a time: if you can do all it describes, move to the next column. Your level is the highest where you can do the most things.

Alternatively, you can use this questionnaire to estimate your level more accurately:

Duolingo

Duolingo is a decent resource to start with if you're a complete beginner, but it's neither efficient nor comprehensive!

What Duolingo will teach you about grammar is very limited, and none of the systems they use will help you practise much of it.
You can learn some vocabulary with it, but their method (based on the concept of spaced repetition) doesn't work for everybody, and the way Duolingo teaches is not very effective compared to the amount of time it requires from you.

So, if you find it useful, by all means keep using it, but remember not to fall for its gamification of language learning, and move past it when it stops being beneficial. Ignore the streaks.

In any case, keep in mind that Duolingo is not enough to learn a language, ever.

If you're looking for guidance or alternatives, check out >faq beginner in our #botchannel .

What does this word mean?

The best way to understand the meaning of a word is to use a dictionary. Monolingual dictionaries such as dwds.de, de.wiktionary.org and duden.de will often provide the most accurate definitions and examples for a word. If you are not yet comfortable with using a monolingual dictionary, bilingual dictionaries are also an option (dict.cc, dict.leo.org, pons.com).

The key here is to empower yourself to find the answer on your own. Using the many examples provided in dictionaries like DWDS, Wiki and Duden can help you confidently understand the word, and how to use it. If you still have trouble; don't worry! You can use #questions, #questions-2 or the #942470380692590632 to ask someone for further clarification.

CEFR levels

If you see something like A1, B2 or C1, these represent the proficiency of a speaker in a language they're not native in, and are called CEFR levels. They are valid for any language, not only German!
Roughly speaking, A levels are beginners and C levels are experts. Remember that CEFR level are self-assessed and indicative!
You can see more specific names and descriptions on the Wikipedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_European_Framework_of_Reference_for_Languages

🗨 How do I know what level I am?
If the table on Wikipedia is too generic for you, you can try using this one here:
https://rm.coe.int/168045bb52
Just check each column one at a time: if you can do all it describes, move to the next column. Your level is the highest where you can do the most things.

Alternatively, you can use this questionnaire to estimate your level more accurately:

CEFR levels

If you see something like A1, B2 or C1, these represent the proficiency of a speaker in a language they're not native in, and are called CEFR levels. They are valid for any language, not only German!
Roughly speaking, A levels are beginners and C levels are experts. Remember that CEFR level are self-assessed and indicative!
You can see more specific names and descriptions on the Wikipedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_European_Framework_of_Reference_for_Languages

🗨 How do I know what level I am?
If the table on Wikipedia is too generic for you, you can try using this one here:
https://rm.coe.int/168045bb52
Just check each column one at a time: if you can do all it describes, move to the next column. Your level is the highest where you can do the most things.

Alternatively, you can use this questionnaire to estimate your level more accurately:
https://rm.coe.int/self-assessment-checklists-from-the-swiss-version-of-the-european-lang/1680492f8e

How long does it take to learn German?

According to the U.S. Foreign Service Institute (FSI), a person is estimated to require 750-900 hours of guided learning to reach B2 in German. However, study habits and other factors can drastically affect this estimation. These factors include your native language, previous language learning experience, the methods you use, your discipline and motivation, consistency, grammar, exposure and immersion, and training each ability equally. You can find an overview of these factors on page 3 of >faq best way to learn.

ℹ *Note*

The term "guided learning hours" refers to time spent learning with a more advanced language partner (such as a tutor), while making use of language materials (tools, texts and other resources). Guided learning hours, while very helpful, are not necessarily required to learn German. Many people learn German by self-studying, however, self-study hours are too variable to measure, and are consequently excluded from this definition and estimate.

Best way to learn German

There isn’t only one “best” way to learn German, especially since different methods work better for different people. However, this FAQ will outline the main aspects of learning efficiently, which you can cater to your needs.

If you’re a beginner, type >faq beginner in #botchannel to see our beginner guide.

Cover all skills

There are many combinations of activities you can use to study and practice a language. How do you know which combinations are suitable? The key is to make sure you cover each of the main skills with at least one activity. Some activities only train one skills, while some train multiple – either is fine, as long as all the 6 skills are covered somewhere in your studies.

The skills

• Reading
• Writing
• Listening
• Speaking
• Grammar
• Vocabulary

Which resources should I use?

It doesn’t really matter which resources you use, as long as you can follow along, and the information is correct and reliable. If you have any doubts about whether a resource is correct, feel free to ask. You do not need to find just one resource and stick to it – in fact, to learn best, it’s recommended that you use a large variety of resources and switch between them when needed.

Type >faq resources in #botchannel to see our list of resources.

CEFR levels

If you see something like A1, B2 or C1, these represent the proficiency of a speaker in a language they're not native in, and are called CEFR levels. They are valid for any language, not only German!
Roughly speaking, A levels are beginners and C levels are experts. Remember that CEFR level are self-assessed and indicative!
You can see more specific names and descriptions on the Wikipedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_European_Framework_of_Reference_for_Languages

🗨 How do I know what level I am?
If the table on Wikipedia is too generic for you, you can try using this one here:
https://rm.coe.int/168045bb52
Just check each column one at a time: if you can do all it describes, move to the next column. Your level is the highest where you can do the most things.

Alternatively, you can use this questionnaire to estimate your level more accurately:

IPA

The International Phonetic Alphabet is a system for writing sounds regardless of the language: one sound will have only one letter for it, so it's really helpful for learning pronunciation in any language without relying on approximations.

IPA has a lot of symbols, but you don't need to learn them all.

🔸 What are those // and [] I see around?
Symbols in slashes (like /r/) represent so-called phonemes, units of sound. Each phoneme can be pronounced in different ways depending on where it is in the word. For example, the phoneme /r/ is pronounced [ʁ] in most situations, but [ɐ] after vowels. As you can see, square brackets (like [ʁ]) represent actual sounds. Finally, pointy brackets like ⟨r⟩ represent how a sound is written, which can vary from language to language.
Example: ⟨sprechen⟩ /sprεçən/ [ʃpʁε.çn̩]

🔸 So how to learn it?
All you need to learn is the few symbols used by the language you're interested in. For German, you can look up the relevant letters on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Standard_German. Notice the Help:IPA/Language_Name pattern in the URL.
There, you will find a table of symbols with an approximation, but you can also click on each specific symbol to learn exactly how to pronounce it studying the Features section, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_palatal_fricative#Features

🔸 Which IPA letters are important for German?
Sounds you are likely to have trouble with are ⟨x⟩, ⟨ç⟩, ⟨ʁ⟩, ⟨ɐ⟩ and several vowels. These are all described in the Wiki link above.
You can use this website to transcribe German words if your dictionary doesn't give an IPA transcription:

Grammatical gender

German nouns are sorted in three different genders: masculine, neuter and feminine. These have nothing to do with sex or social gender.
The first thing genders will influence are articles like der, das, die. Each word has its own and you better get it right: some words that look identical can have different meanings depending on the gender they're used with. For example:
die Band = the (musical) band,
der Band = the (book) volume,
das Band = the tape.

Some words, mainly trademarks and loanwords, have multiple acceptable genders while having no change in meaning:
der Jogurt = das Jogurt
das Virus = der Virus
These may vary by region or colloquiality.

💢 But WHY, German, WHY
Gender is actually quite useful! Since sentence structure is less rigid than in English, grammatical case helps you tell the various elements apart (with some practice), and that works through genders: each gender has its own forms, which makes everything a little less ambiguous. Besides, as you've seen with Band above, it allows us to make up words with different meanings that look the same but are not ambiguous, and if that's not magic, I don't know what is. ✨

🙀 But how am I supposed to tell them apart? 🙀
Check out >explain gender patterns. 😉

faq contractions

Contractions

A contraction (Verschmelzung or Schmelzwort) is a shortened form of a word or group of words created by omitting letters and sounds. Common examples of contractions in English are:

I'm = I am
won't = will not
let's = let us
-'re = are (e.g. we're walking home)

Contractions are often used in German, especially with prepositions and definite articles that take the accusative or dative (never the genitive). For example, zu dem is often shortened to zum, as seen here:

Pferd geht zum Zahnarzt.

Some contractions with prepositions are so common (see below) that they are effectively manadatory in normal speech. Writing the full form has the effect of emphasising the definite article, indicating that you are referring to a specific object. For example:

Pferd geht zu dem Zahnarzt, der ihm gestern empfohlen wurde.

Common contractions in German

These contractions are used very often and are acceptable in formal German.

ans = an das
am = an dem
beim = bei dem
im = in dem
ins = in das
vom = von dem
zum = zu dem
zur = zu der

Additionally, the pronoun es is often contracted when it comes directly after the verb in certain set phrases. For example, the greeting Wie geht es dir? is often contracted to Wie geht's dir?

Contractions in informal German

Contracting the article das to -s in prepositions is very commonly used in informal, spoken German, and sometimes appears in formal German in set phrases.

aufs = auf das
durchs = durch das
fürs = für das
übers = über das
ums = um das
unters = unter das

Contracting the article dem to -m is relatively common in spoken German with almost all prepositions. For example:

hinterm = hinter dem
überm = über dem
unterm = unter dem

Contracting the other articles can also occur, but this is relatively rare.

faq Omission of movement verbs

lean flickerBOT
#
Omission of movement verbs

When it's obvious that a verb of movement is meant, it is implied:

  • ich muss zur Toilette
  • ich will nach Deutschland

This happens when there's

  1. a preposition of movement, and
  2. a modal verb.
    Without any of these two, the sentence is too generic and you can't infer what's happening.

It comes in handy since movement verbs in german are rather specific (you either go on foot, fly, or go with a vehicle, you can't just generically gosomewhere).
So if the target is a country, like nach Deutschland, this helps you get away with not mentioning whether you're going to fly there, drive or go by train, or cross the border on foot: you just say ich muss nach Deutschland, I have [to go] to Germany.

faq seeing verbs

lean flickerBOT
#
Seeing verbs

In German, there are a few different verbs describing the act of seeing. The most important ones are sehen, schauen, zuschauen, anschauen, zusehen and ansehen.

🔸 sehen (sieht, sah, hat gesehen) is the closest translation to “see”. It indicates an ability to see something.
(1) Ich sehe dich. (I can see you.)
(2) Siehst du das Auto? (Can you see the car?)

🔸 schauen (schaut, schaute, hat geschaut) is similar to English “look”. It indicates that you are actively trying to see something or looking in a particular direction. You usually use it together with some prepositional phrase that indicates the target. Schauen does not take a direct object! The verb gucken means the same as schauen, which one is used is mostly regional.
(3) Ich schaue aus dem Fenster. (I am looking out of the window.)
(4) Sie schaute unter den Tisch. (She looked under the table.)
‼ There are a lot of idioms with schauen, such as nach jmdm. schauen “to look after someone” and auf etw. schauen “to guard sth.”

🔸 anschauen means “to look at sth”. You use it when indicating that you are looking at an object. zuschauen on the other hand indicates you’re looking at an action.
anschauen requires an accusative object, but zuschauen requires dative.
(5) Ich schaue die Landschaft an. (I am looking at the landscape.)
(6) Ich schaue den Kindern zu. (I am watching the children (doing sth).)

🔸 ansehen and zusehen mean the same thing as anschauen and zuschauen respectively.
(7) Sie sehen uns an. (They are looking at us.)

Structure of Konjunktiv II

Structure of Konjunktiv II
In the first part, we explained the usage of Konjunktiv II. (see >explain Usage of Konjunktiv II)
Now let’s see how it’s built!
We can create KII through Präteritum - slap an Umlaut on the verb and add the suffixes of Konjunktiv I (or basically suffixes of Präteritum without the -t-).
(5) Ich äße gern mehr, aber ich bin schon satt. = “I would love to eat more but I’m already full.”
(6) Wäre ich nicht arm, ginge ich ab und zu außer Haus essen = “If I wasn’t poor, I would eat out now and then.”
(7) Ich probierte diese Speisen gern, wenn sie nicht ein Vermögen kosten. = “I’d love to try these dishes if they didn’t cost a fortune.”

⁉️ Wait, what?! Isn’t the verb in example (7) in Präteritum?!
Well, yeah, building KII through Präteritum works well with strong verbs, but it doesn’t show in weak verbs because the forms are the same in both Konjunktiv II and Präteritum.

So how do we distinguish between these two?
For weak verb, the würden-structure is used. Würden (= werden in KII) acts as an auxiliary verb with infinitive. The meaning doesn’t change, it’s just clearer what we want to say.
So if we rewrite (7):
(8) Ich würde diese Speisen gern probieren, wenn sie nicht ein Vermögen kosten.
As you can see, würden stays at the second position and the infinitive goes to the end of a clause.

faq so and also

lean flickerBOT
#
So and also

The German “also”
This word means “so, therefore”. It is used in the beginning of a sentence to show that what you’re about to say follows from what you said before:
(1) Er war müde, also ging er schlafen. (He was tired, so he went to sleep.)

You can put it in the middle of a sentence too, then it shows that you’re going back a topic or are reminding of it:
(2) Ich habe also mit ihm geredet… (and so/as I said, I spoke to him…)

A very similar use is also to start a sentence with a dragged out aaalso (=aaanyway).

⚠ You cannot use so in these sentences!

The German “so”
So has a few uses. Most of them correspond pretty directly to English “like this/that”. Perhaps the most normal use of it is to answer a “how” (wie) question:
(3) Wie geht das? — So! (How does one do that? — Like this!)

You can of course also use it this way if no one asked you a question:
(4) Er lief so herum. (He walked around like that. [could indicate e.g. walking style or clothing, depends on context])

Together with an indefinite noun it indicates that you care about the properties of that noun, and not the noun itself:
(5) Ich will so ein Haus. (I want a house like that [but not necessarily this particular one].)

Note that here, the proper question is not wie but was für ein:
(6) Was für ein Spiel willst du spielen? — So eins. (What kind of game do you want to play? — One like that)

Another very common way to use it is for emphasizing a size or amount. Just like in English, you may drag out the so for a bit to emphasize it even more:
(7) Das ist so schön! (This is so beautiful!)

The English “also”
English “also/too” straigtforwardly translates to German auch. There is no relation to German so/also here:
(8) Ich habe ihn auch gesehen. (I also saw him. / I saw him too.)

faq stative passive

#
Stative Passive

Stative Passive (Zustandspassiv)
The passive voice with werden (Vorgangspassiv) refers to the process of an action; it indicates that an action is taking place. The resulting state of this action can be indicated with a different version of the passive voice called the Stative Passive (Zustandspassiv). This form uses sein instead of werden as its auxiliary verb. For example:

Das Fenster ist zerbrochen. (The window is broken)

Transitive verbs that are valid in the Vorgangspassiv can typically be used in the Zustandspassiv and vice versa. The Zustandspassiv, however, tends to prefer verbs that have a clear end state, such as: zerstören, öffnen, schließen.

Vorgangspassiv vs Zustandspassiv
The difference between the two passive voice forms is best illustrated with an example:

Der Tresor war verschlossen, aber wir haben nicht gesehen, wie er verschlossen wurde.
The safe was locked but we did not see how it was locked.

In the first clause, the state of the safe is being discussed. The process of locking the safe was completed and the safe reached a condition of being locked. The last clause concentrates on the process of locking the safe, namely how it was done. The safe has somehow reached a state of being locked, but this process was not observed.

As the Vorgangspassiv discusses a process, it often relates to the English progressive aspect, but this is never true for the Zustandspassiv. For example, the English sentence:

The product is being packed.

Can be translated as:

Die Ware wird verpackt.

But cannot be translated as:

Die Ware ist verpackt.

This loses the implication of a process, which the English progressive aspect and Vorgangspassiv possess. Instead, this sentence indicates that this process is complete and the product is now packed. Thus, it would be an acceptable translation for:

The product has been packed.

faq umlauts

lean flickerBOT
#
Umlauts

Umlauts - ä, ö, ü
Along with the 26 letters of its alphabet, German also possesses the umlaut, a diacritic in the form of two dots placed over the letters a, o, u to form ä, ö, and ü. Umlaut means something akin to altered sound and this is reflected in the fact that the pronunciation of the umlauted vowels are quite different from the non-umlauted vowels.

🗨️ How do I type ä, ö, ü?
See >faq keyboard on how to type umlauts.

If you cannot type the umlauts, you can add an e to the non-diacritic vowel to represent an umlaut. For example, you can represent öffnen as oeffnen.

Umlauts can never be replaced with their non-diacritic versions. In other words, you cannot replace ö with o when spelling words like öffnen. Some words only differ by the vowel sound, for example schwul (gay) and schwül (humid, sultry).

🗨️ How do I pronounce ä, ö, ü?
See the next few pages for more info on pronunciation.

Usage of Konjunktiv II

Konjunktiv II: Usage
Konjunktiv II is a grammatical mood that expresses irreality - it describes something that isn't guaranteed to happen.

(1) Wenn ich Millionen Dollar hätte, würde ich alle Speisen der ganzen Welt probieren. = “If I had million dollars, I would try all dishes around the world.”
(2) Wäre ich Mod, würde ich alle bannen. = “If I were a Mod, I would ban everybody.”

Konjunktiv II is also used as a form of politeness.
(3) Könnten Sie mir bitte helfen? = “Could you help me, please?”

And it also replaces Konjunktiv I (see >explain Konjunktiv I) when the conjugation of Konjunktiv I is ambiguous. For example, when it matches Präsens:
(4) Sie sagte, ich brauche sie. ➡️ Sie sagte, ich würde sie brauchen.

Now that we have explained the usage of Konjunktiv II, let’s see how it’s built!

These abbreviations are found, for example, on licence plates. Germany and Austria also have two-letter abbreviations, which are DE and AT. These, alongside the Swiss one, are used among other things in URLs.

faq Vorgangspassiv

lean flickerBOT
#
Vorgangspassiv

The Vorgangspassiv is formed with werden as the finite/conjugated verb and the past participle of the main verb (or action verb) in the active voice sentence.

For example, when we translate "The man eats the apple.", we get:

Der Mann isst den Apfel.

When this sentence is converted into its passive voice equivalent, several things happen:

  • The finite verb becomes the equivalent conjugation for werden. isst --> wird
  • The main verb is then converted into its past participle and placed at the end of the clause, when possible. isst --> gegessen
  • The accusative object becomes the (nominative) subject. den Apfel --> Der Apfel
  • The subject is indicated with the preposition von or simply left out altogether. Der Mann --> (vom Mann)

Putting this together, we create the passive voice sentence:

Der Apfel wird (vom Mann) gegessen.

Subject and Object

Only the accusative object of a verb can become the subject in a passive sentence. This means verbs that govern a dative, genitive, or prepositional object can never become the subject. Instead, the object remains as it was.

For example, the verb helfen governs a dative object. An example with it in an active sentence would be:

Der Mann hat dem Kollegen geholfen.

When converted to the passive voice, dem Kollegen does not change case:

Dem Kollegen wurde (vom Mann) geholfen.

This applies equally to verbs that govern genitive and prepositonal objects:

Der Toten wurde gedacht.
Über das Thema wird kaum gesprochen.

Tenses & Moods

Present: Der Apfel wird gegessen.
Simple Past: Der Apfel wurde gegessen.
Future: Der Apfel wird gegessen werden.
Present Perfect: Der Apfel ist gegessen worden.
Past Perfect: Der Apfel war gegessen worden.
Future Perfect: Der Apfel wird gegessen worden sein.

faq absentive

lean flickerBOT
#
The grammar of the absentiv

The abesentive takes the form: [subject] + [conjugated sein] + [infinitive of action verb] (e.g. Theo ist einkaufen).
The action verb is typically an intransitive verb, but can also be a transitive verb. It is additionally important to note that the absentiv should not have any local adverbs, or other syntactic indications of absence. I.e. weg and (weg)gegangen are not found in sentences that use the absentive. Additionally, the absentiv cannot be formed in combination with progressive forms such as am Einkaufen, beim Einkaufen, etc. Finally, the absentiv is typically built in the preterite (präteritum) and present tense.
E.g.
Er war arbeiten - He was away at work.
Ich bin pinkeln - I am away peeing.

More information

Unfortunately the amount of information available on the absentiv is fairly limited as it's both only typically used in spoken language, and is a fairly recent development within german language research. Thus explanations in grammar books are scarce, and the absentiv is typically not taught in Deutsch als Fremdsprache classes. However, you can read a bit about the absentiv here in Alle sind Deutschland … außer Fritz Eckenga – der ist einkaufen!, König 2009.

Beide vs. Beides

Both Beide and Beides mean both, then how to differentiate them?

🔸 Use beide if the items are of the same kind.
🔸 If the items are different, use beides.
- Ich will beide Äpfel!

- Möchten Sie Ketchup oder Mayo?
- Beides, danke.

🔸 With people you always use beide.

🔸 Article or no article?
An article is used when the people described are doing something together.
- Die beiden sind verlobt. (they are engaged to one another)
- Beide sind verlobt. (they are both engaged, each to their own significant other)

Note: other forms of beid* like beidem or beiden depend on grammatical case, see >explain case.

How long does it take to learn German?

According to the U.S. Foreign Service Institute (FSI), a person is estimated to require 750-900 hours of guided learning to reach B2 in German. However, study habits and other factors can drastically affect this estimation. These factors include your native language, previous language learning experience, the methods you use, your discipline and motivation, consistency, grammar, exposure and immersion, and training each ability equally. You can find an overview of these factors on page 3 of >faq best way to learn.

ℹ *Note*

The term "guided learning hours" refers to time spent learning with a more advanced language partner (such as a tutor), while making use of language materials (tools, texts and other resources). Guided learning hours, while very helpful, are not necessarily required to learn German. Many people learn German by self-studying, however, self-study hours are too variable to measure, and are consequently excluded from this definition and estimate.

You might have heard a native say this or otherwise stumbled across it, but are you sure about its meaning and usage in sentences?

Digger, also spelt Digga, is an informal word similar in usage to bro in colloquial English.
It likely comes from the Hamburger-dialect version of the word Dicker, literally fatty; note however that in this case it is closer in meaning to buddy than a comment on a person's build.

  • 🇩🇪 | "Was ist los, Digger?"

  • 🇬🇧 | "What's up, bro?"

  • 🇩🇪 | "Ich hatte viel zu tun, tut mir leid, Digger."

  • 🇬🇧 | "I was busy, sorry bro."

  • 🇩🇪 | "Klar, Digga."

  • 🇬🇧 | "Sure, bro."

Common usages of impersonal subject es

Impersonal es is commonly used:

- with verbs referring to weather

Es wird morgen sehr wahrscheinlich regnen.
Bei Temperaturen über 0°C taut es.
Jetzt blitzt es wieder.

- with verbs referring to natural phenomena

Wie viel Zeit habe ich, wenn es in meiner Wohnung brennt?
Hier zieht es ganz fürchterlich, mach bitte die Tür zu.
Es riecht nach Algen vom Meer und nach gebrannten Mandeln.

These verbs can have an agent, but are used impersonally if the agent is unclear or unknown.

- with verbs referring to noises

Es klopfte an der Tür.
Es krachte gewaltig, als das Haus einstürzte.
Es brodelte und zischte im Inneren des Kessels und dünne Dampfwolken stiegen empor.

These verbs can have an agent, but are used impersonally if the agent is unclear or unknown.

- with verbs referring to sensations and emotions

Es friert mich.
Es graut mir vor der Prüfung.
Es hält ihn hier nicht länger.

With these verbs, the impersonal es denotes an unknown or unclear force causing the sensation and an accusative object indicates who is experiencing the action.

- with sein or werden and a dative object to indicate a sensation

Ist (es) dir kalt?
Mir wird schwindlig.
ich trank einen heißen Tee und mir war sofort warm.

Unless it is in the first postion of a clause, the impersonal es is often omitted with these verbs.

- with reflexive verbs and the impersonal passive

Es wurde mir empfohlen, mit dir zu reden.
Es wurde der Toten gedacht.
Es lebt sich gut in und um Darmstadt herum.

In this usage, the impersonal es is always the first element in a clause or is hidden by other elements which take its place.

=- in various idiomatic constructions*

Einen besseren Weg gibt es nicht.
Ich hoffe, dass es dir gut geht.
Es handelt sich nicht um deinen Job.

Swiss German is the common name for the group of dialects native to Switzerland. It is closely related to the dialects of south-western Germany (e.g. Swabian), and to a lesser extent to the dialects of Austria and Bavaria.

What do you mean, group of dialects?
Because Swiss German is not standardized in any way, there is a lot of variety in how people speak. The differences aren’t large enough to impede understanding, but they are definitely noticable and range from vocabulary over different sounds being used to even differences in grammar!

If I speak German to a Swiss person, will I be understood?
Yes.
All Swiss German speakers have gone through several years of schooling held in Standard German and will definitely understand you without any problems. However, not all Swiss German speakers are very comfortable speaking it themselves, so keep that in mind.

If I want to move to Switzerland, do I have to learn Swiss German?
First of all, make sure to actually learn Standard German. You’ll need it more urgently. But if that’s out of the way, I would advise you to at least learn to understand it. Swiss people really appreciate it when they don’t have to speak Standard German. You don’t have to learn to speak it yourself to integrate. But feel free to try!

Where can I learn Swiss German?
Good question. There’s a collection of resources here: https://www.reddit.com/r/German/comments/abswl2/i_made_a_collection_of_resources_for_learning/
If you find something, let us know. If you have questions, you can always ask in #dialects.

What does it sound like?
It’s been variously described as everything from melodious to throat cancer. Best you just listen yourself:

https://youtu.be/Gz2S9iggdzM (Slightly over the top comparison)

Grammatical gender

German nouns are sorted in three different genders: masculine, neuter and feminine. These have nothing to do with sex or social gender.
The first thing genders will influence are articles like der, das, die. Each word has its own and you better get it right: some words that look identical can have different meanings depending on the gender they're used with. For example:
die Band = the (musical) band,
der Band = the (book) volume,
das Band = the tape.

Some words, mainly trademarks and loanwords, have multiple acceptable genders while having no change in meaning:
der Jogurt = das Jogurt
das Virus = der Virus
These may vary by region or colloquiality.

💢 But WHY, German, WHY
Gender is actually quite useful! Since sentence structure is less rigid than in English, grammatical case helps you tell the various elements apart (with some practice), and that works through genders: each gender has its own forms, which makes everything a little less ambiguous. Besides, as you've seen with Band above, it allows us to make up words with different meanings that look the same but are not ambiguous, and if that's not magic, I don't know what is. ✨

🙀 But how am I supposed to tell them apart? 🙀
Check out >explain gender patterns. 😉

CEFR levels

If you see something like A1, B2 or C1, these represent the proficiency of a speaker in a language they're not native in, and are called CEFR levels. They are valid for any language, not only German!
Roughly speaking, A levels are beginners and C levels are experts. Remember that CEFR level are self-assessed and indicative!
You can see more specific names and descriptions on the Wikipedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_European_Framework_of_Reference_for_Languages

🗨 How do I know what level I am?
If the table on Wikipedia is too generic for you, you can try using this one here:
https://rm.coe.int/168045bb52
Just check each column one at a time: if you can do all it describes, move to the next column. Your level is the highest where you can do the most things.

Alternatively, you can use this questionnaire to estimate your level more accurately:
