All language subtitles for Kompri._8 Dinge die du nicht im Deutschunterricht lernst-en

Surely you know this:

You sit in class and learn German.

So far so good.

The grammar, also no problem.

You also understand the new words easy and the teacher wonderfully.

And then you go out and suddenly you hear
how people really speak.

Do the Germans make some mistakes themselves when speaking?

Don't you know your own grammar?

To do this you need to know that there is a fundamental difference

in the written or official

and the spoken language there.

In this video I show you eight things you should do in German class

don't learn like that
but you've probably heard it on the street before.

Here we go!

First: the expression "no".

You know that expression.

Then it is one
of the first words you learn in the German language.

Often the Germans don't say "no" at all, but "ne", "nö"

and also "near" depending on the region.

And depending on the pitch, it can also be used in different ways.

You don't just use it to negate things,

but also, for example, to express disappointment ...

... or even annoyance.

Sometimes it also expresses that you are shocked.

Or sometimes it is said in the form of a question.

As you can see, there are many variants.

Second: In every grammar book you can see how correctly conjugated.

So I have,

you have, he/she/it has, we have etc..

But sometimes people just say "I have".

Because when speaking, many simply swallow the last letter *in the first person singular.

"I have" then becomes "I have". In class

you learn to pronounce all the letters naturally.

But you will rarely hear someone on the street saying, "I don't feel like it."

Native speakers are much more likely to say: "I don't feel like it." or

"I'm going into town." or "I'm at the door."

and swallow, as I said, the last letter.

In colloquial language, that's perfectly fine.

Only when writing should the endings be attached again.

Third: "I have a question."

What is this "ne" actually?

It comes from the indefinite article "ein", in this example from "eine".

We also have the variants "n, nem, nen, ner".

Almost sounds like a car.

The indefinite article is sometimes not pronounced in full.

Often the "ei" is left out at the beginning and only the ending is said.

We rarely say in colloquial language: "I'm starving.".

We're much more likely to say: "I'm starving.", "I've got an idea.",

"I'll give you some advice."

Try it.

By the way, even if we do that in colloquial language

say, there is a rule here that the endings have to be right.

So not just "nen"

In each sentence say how it

some native speakers sometimes mistakenly do. Decline
we still have to.

Fourth: You learn at school
you, when you are doing something, for example working,

that you formulate the sentence like this: "I'm working right now." or

"I'm working at the moment." or "I'm working now.".

When we speak, we sometimes also say

-especially in certain regions-

"I'm working.". And then instead of:

"I'm cooking.", we say: "I'm cooking.".

So if we're doing something, we say

in colloquial language often a sentence with "to be"

"am" the nominalized verb.

So: "I'm working / studying / on the phone.".

But beware! Please do not use in written language.

Fifth: Surely you know the imperative, the form of request.

So: "Go!", "Do!", "Write!"

At school, however, you only learn them for the people

"you", "you" and "they". So, "Go!"

or "Go!" or "Go!".

But there is also the imperative form for the pronoun "we".

For example, when we encourage ourselves and others to do so

want to do something, make a collective request, so to speak,

then we use the imperative as well

for the 1st person plural. For example: "Let's get started!",

"Let's get started!", "Let's keep going!".

The imperative form is: infinitive of the verb "we".

These sentences then mean something like:

"Let us begin!" or "Let's get started!",

"Let's keep going!".

So, with that in mind, let's move on to point six.

Six: The missing verb at the end.

One thing that confuses German learners is that

that in sentences with modal verbs another verb

should be in the infinitive at the end of the sentence.

That is definitely correct

and the grammar is also completely correct,
like you learn in school.

But what about sentences like: "I have to go to the doctor today."

or "I can't today."?

Are these correct sentences?

The answer is yes.

Of course it would be quite correct or nicer if we added a verb

in the infinitive
at the end of the sentence, just like we learn in school.

But seriously, we know that even without a verb at the end,
what these sentences want to express.

And that's exactly why we leave the verbs
in the end also often gone in colloquial language.

Instead of: "I have to go to the doctor/", logically or "drive.",

let's just say, "I have to go to the doctor.".

And instead of: "I can't come today.", we then say: "I can't come today.".

These sentences are of course, as I said, completely correct,

when used in spoken language.

So don't be surprised
if you hear such sentences here and there from native speakers.

Seventh, "I don't go to the gym because I'm tired."

"Wait a minute!", you're probably thinking, "That's a mistake, isn't it?"

Because clauses are subordinate clauses and the verb has to go to the end of the clause.

So, "I don't go to the gym because I'm tired."

Of course you are absolutely right about that.

And that is also the only correct* grammatical rule.

But still it happens in the spoken language,
that we break this rule.

It's not that we don't know them.

We just ignore them.

But if you listen carefully, you'll realize that after the

"because" take a little break from speaking or thinking.

So, "I'm not going to the gym today because...

I'm tired." And through this little pause in speaking

we give the impression
as if we were going to start a new sentence and then we start that one

according to the rule: verb in position 2.

Now let's get to point number eight of the things

that you don't learn in class.

We learn so many new words every day
and sometimes there are so many

that you feel like your head will explode.

But for those who also speak English, I have good news.

Because many people in Germany like to use Anglicisms.

So English words, for example: "download,

feedback, meeting, stream, essay, fair, festival,

Fan, clown, chat, USB stick, fix, flop, hobby, baby, gym,

Info box, logo, overall, pixel etc..

you see it This means,
you don't have to stress so much about learning vocabulary.

For some there are also German variants.

For some neither.

So when you speak English, your vocabulary is
automatically larger than you think.

Maybe you also know a few English words,
which we have included in the German language.
