faq praesens
Präsens (Present Tense)
When you use a verb in a sentence (or clause), you have to conjugate it (change the form) to match the subject of the sentence (or clause).
For example, in English, we write I eat but he/she eats. The verb has a different ending! The concept is the same in German, except German has more endings.
The first thing you need to know in order to conjugate verbs is: which ending fits which subject? Here is a simple verb “trinken” (to drink) as an example:
trinken
ich trinke
du trinkst
er/sie/es trinkt
wir trinken
ihr trinkt
sie trinken / Sie trinken
(Note: the conjugation for sie (they) and Sie (formal you) is always the same)
Vowel/Stem Changes
There are a few variations and exceptions, but the most important is vowel changes (also called stem changes). Some verbs get a vowel change, which only affects the du and er/sie/es forms of the verb. (However, modal verbs and wissen have their own special pattern, which also has a vowel change in the ich form.)
Example: ich schlafe, du schläfst
Other Changes
There are various other differences but I can’t describe them all here, so please read these websites or use Google to find more information: https://www.vistawide.com/german/grammar/german_verbs_present_tense.htm

faq 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!

faq nominativ
Nominative
The nominative case (der Nominativ) 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 nominative case?
Definite articles: der, die, das
Indefinite articles: ein, eine, ein
Personal pronouns:
ich - I
du - you
er - he
es - it
sie - she/they
wir - we
ihr - you guys
Sie - (formal) you/you guys
For a full explanation, including adjectives, see >explain adjective declension
🗨 When do I use the nominative case?
The nominative case is mainly used:
- to mark the subject of the finite verb
Ich lese einen Roman.
Der Mann hat die schöne Frau ermordet.
Sie besitzen kein Auto.
- for the predicate complement of copular verbs (a verb that links the subject to the object)
Eine Maus ist ein kleines Tier.
Wir wurden gute Freunde.
Du bleibst immer mein Freund.
- for nouns or pronouns used in isolation, such as in exclamations or when addressing people
Ein schöner Tag heute, nicht?
So geht es nicht, du Idiot.
Ach meine Güte!

faq anki
When creating flashcards it is not enough to just have a single german word on one side, and a single word translation on the other side of the card. You want to provide details that match your learning style and help you better understand what the word means.
At the very least, include the gender and the plural form. E.g. Der Mann | Die Männer or Der Mann -:er Whichever form helps you recognise the plural ending and any vowel changes. You may also want to add a note for weak masculine nouns. (See >explain N-Declension.)
Include the infinitive, the preterite (simple past) and the past participle (perfect form). E.g. rennen | rannte | gerannt or for a separable verb anrufen | rief an | angerufen. For irregular verbs, you may want to list all present tense conjugations. You may also want to include if the verb uses haben or sein as its auxiliary.
Adding an example sentence is important for helping you understand the usage and context of a word (dwds.de and linguee.com are good sources of example sentences). You may also want to add multiple translations for words that have multiple meanings. E.g. Die Auflage can mean both a requirement, and the edition of a book. You may also want to try picture cues or audio recordings (possible sources for voice recordings include dict.cc, linguee.com, duden.de, and wiktionary.de).
explain N-Declension
Weak nouns are called this way because they receive the same endings as adjectives inflected with weak endings. They take an additional ending -n in every case except nominative singular. This is also known as N-Declension and affects almost exclusively masculine nouns.
Nominativ: der Junge, die Junge__n__
Genitiv: des Junge__n__, der Junge__n__
Dativ: dem Junge__n__, den Junge__n__
Akkusativ: den Junge__n__, die Junge__n__
Some nouns end with a suffix -en to make the pronunciation easier:
der Mensch, den Mensch__en__
‼ Das Herz is the only non-masculine (neuter) noun with N-Declension❣
So how do we recognize these nouns? We can divide them into 3 big groups:
- nouns of Greek and Latin origin,
- nouns ending with
-e(most of these refer to people or animals), - other random German nouns (Mensch, Herr, Student, Nachbar, Prinz etc.)
Another way to divide the groups could be:
- nouns denoting male beings in general (der Bauer, der Knabe, der Herr, der Junge, der Kunde etc.)
- nouns indicating nationality or religious affiliation (der Chinese, der Russe, der Türke, der Jude, der Katholik, der Protestant)
- nouns designating male beings and ending in the foreign suffixes (
-ant,-arch,-ast,-ege,-ent,-ist,-oge,-om,-oph,-ot: der Kollege, der Student, der Psychologe, der Polizist, der Philosoph)
‼ der Käse and words ending with -ee aren’t weak nouns.
Genitive of Weak Nouns
You might have noticed from the examples above that weak nouns don’t have the additional -s in genitive like other masculine nouns.
Some exceptions are das Herz and nouns of group 3 that don’t refer to people nor animals (Name, Wille, Glaube, Buchstabe etc.), which take both the -n and -s endings.
Example: der Name, des Name__ns__.

faq dativ
The dative case (der Dativ) 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 dative case?
Nouns, pronouns, and adjective declension is completely different compared to the nominative case. See >explain adjective declension for a full explanation.
🗨 When do I use the dative case?
The dative case has a great number of usages, many of which are idiomatic, but is mainly used:
- to mark the indirect object of many transitive verbs (the indirect object is that which receives the result of an action):
Ich habe dir ein Bier gekauft.
Sie gibt dem Mann das Buch.
Er zeigte ihm seinen Führerschein.
- to mark the object of some transitive verbs:
Dir fehlen die richtigen Materialien.
Es fällt mir gleich bestimmt wieder ein.
Das gefällt ihr gar nicht.
- after some prepositions:
Ich komme aus den USA.
Komm mit mir.
Ich lerne seit vielen Jahren Deutsch.
The following prepositions are always followed by the dative case:
aus, außer, bei, gegenüber, mit, nach, seit, von, zu
- after two-way prepositions when they do not indicate movement:
Das Bild hängt jetzt an der Wand.
Er geht im Wald. (he is roaming in the woods)
Sie steht vor mir.
- to show possession, mainly of clothing or body parts:
Ich habe mir in die Finger geschnitten.
Er hat ihr die Nase gebrochen.
Die Mütze fiel mir vom Kopf.
- with many adjectives:
Ich war mir nicht sicher.
Ist dir kalt?
Er ist seinem Bruder sehr ähnlich.

faq gender patterns
Unfortunately, many German words don't have immediately clear clues that reveal it, but thankfully, many common words do follow patterns that reveal their gender.
In general, you are advised to learn the article together with the word (and its plural!).
Plural forms always use die and follow plural declension rules, which are the same for all genders (yay 🎉).
Type >explain grammatical gender for an explanation on grammatical gender.

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:

🗨 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:

faq word order verbs
Word Order - Verbs
The placement of the finite verb (or conjugated verb) is very important to the structure of a German sentence. While most other elements in a sentence can be moved, the position of the finite verb is fixed.
🔸 Main clause
A main clause is an independent clause that makes sense by itself. Here the finite verb is always the second element.
Der Mann gibt der Frau das Buch.
An auxiliary/modal verb (e.g. müssen) replaces the original verb (called the main verb) as the finite verb and results in the main verb being placed at the end of the clause. Additionally, the main verb is returned to its infinitive or past participle form, depending on the tense.
Der Mann muss der Frau das Buch geben.
🔸 Questions & Statements
The finite verb is always the first element.
Siehst du den Ausgang?
Interrogative words (or w-words) are considered to be in the zeroth position.
Worauf wartet ihr?
Auxiliary/modal verbs have the same effect as before:
Kannst du den Ausgang sehen?
Worauf habt ihr gewartet?
🔸 Subordinate clause
A subordinate clause depends on a main clause to make sense. It is often introduced by a conjunction as the first element and the finite verb is usually the last element.
Ich bin nicht zur Arbeit gefahren, weil ich krank war.
Du könntest ihm helfen, statt dich nur zu beschweren!
When a single auxiliary modal verb is introduced, it becomes the finite verb and the main verb is placed before it::
Er ist sich immer noch nicht sicher, ob er ihr alles erzählen soll.
If a double infintive is present, it is placed at the end and the finite verb comes before it.
Das ist das Haus, das ich hätte verkaufen sollen.

faq 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:

faq eszett
The ß, called Eszett or scharfes S, is a letter of the Standard German alphabet.
🗨 How to type it?
If you're on a US keyboard, you can use the US International layout and type ß with [right alt] + s. There is also an altcode (press [alt], type the numbers and release [alt]):
ß = alt+225
🗨 What about capital ẞ?
Capital ẞ is only used in typography and all caps words (and not even always). It never occurs as the first letter of a word, so you will never really need to be able to write it. ;)
🗨 How to read it?
It is always read as an unvoiced [s], like in the English word ma__ss__.
🗨 When to ß and when to ss?
The pronunciation is the same, but they're used in different positions.
ẞ is used after long vowels, which are vowels pronounced for slightly longer than otherwise (Fuß, Straße); compare the English m__i__nd and m__i__tten: same letter, different length, thus different pronunciation.
ẞ is also used after diphthongs, which are groups of vowels pronounced together (gießen, Preußen).
ss is used after short vowels (Schloss, Abfluss). This also occurs for ck vs k and similar: double consonant means short (even in English, see mitten above!)
ss is also found after diphthongs and long vowels if the two Ses belong to separate parts; this can happen in prefixes (aussteigen) and compound words (Moossee).
🗨 I've seen something that doesn't follow these rules! ‼
Not to worry! The above rules apply for Standard German and you can follow them religiously. If you find exceptions, these are the possible reasons:
- The writer or text follows old rules, where all instances of
ssin the same word becameßregardless of the vowel. - The writer or text comes from Switzerland, where ß is seldom used, if at all.
faq 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. 😉
explain gender patterns
Unfortunately, many German words don't have immediately clear clues that reveal it, but thankfully, many common words do follow patterns that reveal their gender.
In general, you are advised to learn the article together with the word (and its plural!).
Plural forms always use die and follow plural declension rules, which are the same for all genders (yay 🎉).
Type >explain grammatical gender for an explanation on grammatical gender.
Here's a list of patterns to recognise word gender.
Note that exceptions may apply.
💙 Masculine words (der):
- profession/role names (der Verkäufer, der Lehrer)
- many elements of time (der Tag, der Monat, der Winter)
- cardinal directions (der Norden, der Süden)
- words ending in:
---igder König, der Teig
---lingder Neuling, der Schwächling
---antder Praktikant, der Elefant
---ismusder Faschismus, der Sozialismus
💚 Neuter words (das):
- nominalised verbs (das Leben, das Lesen)
- metals (das Gold, das Kupfer)
- babies and cubs (das Baby, das Lamm)
- diminutives in
-chen/-lein(das Hündchen) - words ending in:
---mentdas Experiment, das Sakrament
---ma(usually of Greek origin) das Komma, das Thema
❤️ Feminine words (die):
- many words ending in
-e(die Nase, die Kiste) - words ending in:
---in(feminine professions/roles): die Verkäuferin, die Lehrerin
---eidie Fischerei, die Bäckerei

faq anki
When creating flashcards it is not enough to just have a single german word on one side, and a single word translation on the other side of the card. You want to provide details that match your learning style and help you better understand what the word means.
At the very least, include the gender and the plural form. E.g. Der Mann | Die Männer or Der Mann -:er Whichever form helps you recognise the plural ending and any vowel changes. You may also want to add a note for weak masculine nouns. (See >explain N-Declension.)
Include the infinitive, the preterite (simple past) and the past participle (perfect form). E.g. rennen | rannte | gerannt or for a separable verb anrufen | rief an | angerufen. For irregular verbs, you may want to list all present tense conjugations. You may also want to include if the verb uses haben or sein as its auxiliary.
Adding an example sentence is important for helping you understand the usage and context of a word (dwds.de and linguee.com are good sources of example sentences). You may also want to add multiple translations for words that have multiple meanings. E.g. Die Auflage can mean both a requirement, and the edition of a book. You may also want to try picture cues or audio recordings (possible sources for voice recordings include dict.cc, linguee.com, duden.de, and wiktionary.de).

faq 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 gsw
What is Swiss German?
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/h5-If3WKqfg (Dialect of Graubünden)
https://youtu.be/Gz2S9iggdzM (Slightly over the top comparison)

faq gender patterns
Unfortunately, many German words don't have immediately clear clues that reveal it, but thankfully, many common words do follow patterns that reveal their gender.
In general, you are advised to learn the article together with the word (and its plural!).
Plural forms always use die and follow plural declension rules, which are the same for all genders (yay 🎉).
Type >explain grammatical gender for an explanation on grammatical gender.
Here's a list of patterns to recognise word gender.
Note that exceptions may apply.
💙 Masculine words (der):
- profession/role names (der Verkäufer, der Lehrer)
- many elements of time (der Tag, der Monat, der Winter)
- cardinal directions (der Norden, der Süden)
- words ending in:
---igder König, der Teig
---lingder Neuling, der Schwächling
---antder Praktikant, der Elefant
---ismusder Faschismus, der Sozialismus
💚 Neuter words (das):
- nominalised verbs (das Leben, das Lesen)
- metals (das Gold, das Kupfer)
- babies and cubs (das Baby, das Lamm)
- diminutives in
-chen/-lein(das Hündchen) - words ending in:
---mentdas Experiment, das Sakrament
---ma(usually of Greek origin) das Komma, das Thema
❤️ Feminine words (die):
- many words ending in
-e(die Nase, die Kiste) - words ending in:
---in(feminine professions/roles): die Verkäuferin, die Lehrerin

faq word order verbs
Word Order - Verbs
The placement of the finite verb (or conjugated verb) is very important to the structure of a German sentence. While most other elements in a sentence can be moved, the position of the finite verb is fixed.
🔸 Main clause
A main clause is an independent clause that makes sense by itself. Here the finite verb is always the second element.
Der Mann gibt der Frau das Buch.
An auxiliary/modal verb (e.g. müssen) replaces the original verb (called the main verb) as the finite verb and results in the main verb being placed at the end of the clause. Additionally, the main verb is returned to its infinitive or past participle form, depending on the tense.
Der Mann muss der Frau das Buch geben.
🔸 Questions & Statements
The finite verb is always the first element.
Siehst du den Ausgang?
Interrogative words (or w-words) are considered to be in the zeroth position.
Worauf wartet ihr?
Auxiliary/modal verbs have the same effect as before:
Kannst du den Ausgang sehen?
Worauf habt ihr gewartet?
🔸 Subordinate clause
A subordinate clause depends on a main clause to make sense. It is often introduced by a conjunction as the first element and the finite verb is usually the last element.
Ich bin nicht zur Arbeit gefahren, weil ich krank war.
Du könntest ihm helfen, statt dich nur zu beschweren!
When a single auxiliary modal verb is introduced, it becomes the finite verb and the main verb is placed before it::
Er ist sich immer noch nicht sicher, ob er ihr alles erzählen soll.
If a double infintive is present, it is placed at the end and the finite verb comes before it.
Das ist das Haus, das ich hätte verkaufen sollen.
@little radish
There's more rules to word order but this is the really important stuff for beginners.
The rest you can learn later.
Verbs are most important.
That's good.
lets see the rest
The "weil" is under "subordinate clauses" btw.

Listening Comprehension - A session for learners regardless of level to improve their listening skills and learn a bit about german history.
Please remember that the same rules as usual apply:
Please try to be on time. I will try to ping everyone in advance again so you don't miss the deadline.
In order to minimize disruptive noises during the session, you can mute your mics and also turn off the user join/user leave sounds temporarily in your notification settings.
If you do not know how the session works, here is a short summary:
- You will receive a few questions about the text in random order.
- I will read the text at least twice, more if you need it. First time will be normal speed, the second time a slower version.
- After the reading, we will go through the questions together and answer them.
- I will also post the text, the questions and answers after the lesson

faq cefr
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 cefr
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:
