Female, male and middle-generation in German
Unfortunately, the German language is not like English, which does not require coordination of adjectives with the genus of nouns. The good news is that at least the Bulgarian language helps us understand the meaning of the concept of middle breed. For comparison, ask the Italians, the French or the Spanish if they are easy to have with the middle family, and it is not clear to them what kind of miracle this is and to whom it is needed, given that in their languages the notion of the middle family of the noun does not exist. How many more German lessons will they need in this case? So feel privileged.
However, the problem with determining male, female and middle breeds in German is not a joke. At least because it sounds absurd the word Paula is male, but it's real. The easiest rule (with many exceptions) is to remember that the words ending with the So far, things are pretty clear when we go to the full member (-the, -the, -the, -the in Bulgarian, for example the boy, the shovel, the road, the man), things are getting more complicated. Because every word must be learned with the right full member. Rules? I won't. It takes hours of exercise, German talks and lessonsto reach a good level.
The two-digit numbers are an important step in the first German lessons
The number of Germans is easy, especially up to 20, as it follows the logic we know. Attention! The odds come after the number 20. The Germans did not say twenty-one, but one twenty, two twenty, three twenty, etc.
The Francophones will probably replicate: what about soixante-dix 70 (60 and 10) or quatre-vints So this second part of German language lessons is more about encouragement.
In the first German lessons we will not miss the years
Along with the weirdness of reading numbers, there comes the weirdness of pronouncing years. What do we mean? The first two digits are separated from the second, i.e. 1992 became 19-92. The English speakers will say what is so strange here, and in English it is so. " - Yes, it is, instead of saying 1992 - a thousand nine hundred ninety-two, we use the simpler one. Nineteen-ninety-two.. But! The Germans have a different view on the issue and between the two pairs of numbers insert one . .hundert Neunzehnhundertzweiundneunzig.
It's a good thing the new millennium came to simplify things a little bit, and it's already about: zweitausend, zweitausendeins, zweitausendzwei… Two thousand, two thousand and one, two thousand and two thousand and two, and so on.
Deliberate prefixes of verbs: the harder part of the first German lessons
In German, many verbs can change their meaning depending on the prefix they receive. So far, nothing new under the sun, considering that the Bulgarian language is the same. Here is an example of illustration: I'm holding, I-I hold on., I'm-I'm holding., I-I hold on.… In German, the strange thing is that there are prefixes that can be separated from the verb and exist independently, usually far away, far away. In general, divisible are those prefixes on which the emphasis falls. Until unharmed prefixes have no right to break away from the verb and lead their own life.
Here's an example: ANSTEHEN (with a divisible representation of Ich stehe an, du stehst an, … - I stand in line.. BESTEHEN (with indivisible prefix Ich bestehe, du bestehst, … It's done, I insist. Deliberate are the following prefixes: ab-, an-, auf-, aus-, bei-, ein-, los-, mit-, nach-, her-, hin-, vor-, weg-, zu-, zurück. Usually in the message sentence, the divisible prefix goes at the end of the word: Ich stehe an der Kasse an. I'm standing in line at the register.Why German lessons are a test of your patience
The verb.nehmen. (take), depending on the prefix, may mean: I accept. (an-nehmen), I'm losing weight. (ab-nehmen), fat (zu-nehmen), I'm hanging in there., as behaviour (be-nehmen).
The fact that the meaning of the verb is understood only by the prefix, which, if divisible, goes at the end of the sentence, is a real test for everyone's patience. What do we mean? A sentence that starts in the same way:Ich gebe die Aufgabe... . . depending on whether I finish with a prefix . . .abaufIt means something completely different. In the first case,I'm giving up my homework.In the second one,I'm giving up my homework.“. Well, in this case, there's nothing left to do but get a little patience and hear the last word of the sentence to find out what it's about.
The meticulous arrangement of the individual elements in the sentence: an important part of the first German lessons
For German students, building a sentence is like ordering a puzzle or playing tetris. Yeah, that's right, because in German, every part of a sentence has its exact place. It's not like in the Bulgarian, we can say calmly: .Tomorrow for breakfast, I'll have some honey pancakes., or .♪ I'm gonna get pancakes with honey tomorrow for breakfast ♪, or honey pancakes, I want breakfast tomorrow, etc. Whatever you say it makes sense, right? That's not the way German is.
When it comes to the subject, the verb always stands at the beginning of the sentence. When the verb is part of the main communication sentence and is in positive form
The subject or perpetrator is always up to the verb before or after it at the beginning of the sentence. However, when we place a circumstance for a place, time or way (words answering the questions: Where, When, How) at the beginning of the sentence, the predictable stand before the bedpan of the sentence.
