Ihr as 2nd person
I'm working through the book Grammatik Aktiv, Vol 1. In the third chapter, exercise 1, I am to complete the following sentences using the verb sein
Herr Schneider: Guten Tag, wie ____ Ihr Name? Frau Mistrek: Mein Name ist ___ Mistrek. Herr Schneider: ___ Sie neu hier? Frau Mistrek: Nein, ich ___ schon ein Jahr in Hamburg. Herr Schneider: ___ Sie Studentin? Frau Mistrek: Nein, ich ___ Schulerin.
I completed the dialogue as follows:
Herr Schneider: Guten Tag, wie seid Ihr Name? Frau Mistrek: Mein Name ist ist Mistrek. Herr Schneider: Sind Sie neu hier? Frau Mistrek: Nein, ich bin schon ein Jahr in Hamburg. Herr Schneider: Sind Sie Studentin? Frau Mistrek: Nein, ich bin Schulerin.
And I was twice flabbergasted upon discovering that Ihr was used not as a 2nd-person informal plural but as 2nd-person formal singular, and the verb it takes is not seid which I expected from the 2nd-person informal singular but ist as if it were a 3rd-person singular. According to the book, Guten Tag, wieistIhr Name? is correct. My research has shed no light upon this misterii, as according to this dude over here Ihr can replace Sie but the verb will take the ihr conjugation.
I just started learning german so in sorta still new to this. Its just putting the right conjugations into the blanks. haben kommen sein können gehen fahren essen treffen
So, I already did a post about the Umgangssprache but have gotten a lot of private messages with questions. You guy are amazing! So, here are some more phrases and words to use. Umgangssprache is the oral language and uses different words and a reduced grammar compared to the written language "Schriftsprache". As always the disclaimer: Ignore the typos please. And notice that there is not one and only Umgangssprache. Language is dynamic and it varies between regions and persons. But I think most would agree with me that you shouldn’t use these words with your boss – and there are different levels of Umgangssprache!
Words
abhauen: to bunk off, to run away “Hau ab” – Get lost!, “Die Party is wirklich langweilig, lass uns abhauen.” - The party is really boring let’s hit the road. spinnen: you see the joke “I think I spider” a lot at the internet since the word has two meaning a) to spin b) to be bonkers “You spinnst doch” – You are crazy! (notice the use of doch!) PS: The sentence „Spinnen spinnen“ is a correct one. chillen: One of many Anglicism. It is conjugate like a normal verb! Ich chille, du chillst, er chillt, wir chillen, ihr chillt, sie chillen But the only meaning is to relax. „Ich habe gestern nichts gemacht außer gechillt.“ Digga/Diggah/Digger: This is part of the so called „Assi“ or “Asi” language. If you want to aime for the rough uneducated gangster vibe. (No offense intended). It means the same as “Dude”, but I would prefer “Alter”. Alter has many meanings: a) mein Altemeine Alte=my fathemy mother (derogative) b) age c) dude d) expression to show surprise - an old-fashioned phrase is “alter Schwede” – old Swede” rausgehen: short form of “hinausgehen”, to go out of a building “Gehen wir raus zum Schwimmen?” Not to be confused with ausgehen! to go out to a party/date “Möchtest du mit mir mal ausgehen?” – Would you like to go on a date with me? “Ich gehe Samstags immer aus” – I always go partying on Saturdays Daheim= synonym to Zuhause but with another connotation. It feels comfy. Notice that some people in Northern Germany do not use it. Use: Ich gehe heim. - Ich gehe nach Hause Ich bin daheim – Ich bin zu Hause. Daheim ist es am schönsten – Zuhause ist es am schönsten. bescheuert/bekloppt: daft „Bist du komplett bescheuert?“ – Are you totally daft? genau: a) precise b) exactly c) You are right! You will hear c) all the time. “Genau, das finde ich auch.” hammer: amazing, super krass: amazing abgehen a) to miss someone: Hannah ist gerade im Uraub. Sie geht mir wirklich ab. b) to party very hard: Wenn ich viel Alkohol trinke, dann gehe ich total ab. Die Party geht total ab. geiern: to look enviously on something like a vulture „Sie hat nie etwas zum Mittagessen dabei. Sie geiert immer mein Essen an.“ angepisst: pissed: „Ständig versetzt sie mich. Das pisst mich wirklich an.“ versetzen: a) recolate b) to not appear at a meeting: “Wir hatten ein Date, aber sie ist nicht gekommen. Sie hat mich versetzt.” raffen: to get it/to understand something: “Sie versteht es einfach nicht – und sie wird es auch nicht raffen.“ checken: to get it/to undertsand sth.: „Checkst du es jetzt?”-“Ja, ich habe es gecheckt.“ Hä: impolite version of „What”/Was Krass: incredible, rad alle: a) Adv. everyone b) Adj. to be out of stock/empty: “Habt ihr noch eine Cola?”-“Cola ist heute alle.” abhängen: to hang out abschleppen: a) to tow a car b) to pick someone up (most of the times the word implies sex) “Ich habe gestern einen Typen abgeschleppt.” der Typ: guy Tja:¯|_(ツ)_|¯ literally the answer to everything. It means: you cannot do anything about it even if you want. nerven: to annoy someone: “Das neue Windowsupdate nervt mich.” “Meine Schwester nevt mich”
Phrases
nur so: by the way of conversation, without any intention “Magst du Anna eigentlich?” – Wieso fragst du? „Nur so.“ Do you like Anna btw? – Why are you asking? – No reason. Mensch: do show that you are exasperated “Mensch Simon! Du bist schon wieder zu spät.! macht nichts: doesn’t matter, it is okay Simon kommt zu spät zu einer Verabredung und entschuldigt sich. Clara sagt: Macht nichts. Das passt schon.“ passt schon=macht nichts egal=doesn’t matter Klar= a) clear b) Sure! Of course! „Klar darf man in Deutschland auf der Autobahn 140 fahren.“ den Geist aufgeben: something is getting slowly broken „Der Computer gibt langsam den Geist auf.“ Pi mal Daumen: circa völlig im Eimer sein: to be absolutely broken/exhausted Du kannst mich mal (am Arsch lecken): You can lick my ass. „Du kannst mich mal“ is also a friendly banter among friends Ich habe die Nase voll: to have had enough Keinen Bock: not in the mood: Ich habe keinen Bock auf (die) Schule. Ich kann das nicht ab: I do not like it. „Ich kann Sardellen echt nicht ab.“ Was läuft?/Was geht?: what is going on (these days in your life)? auf dem Schlauch stehen: to not get something obvious Origin: in German we have „der Gedankenfluss“ – flow/river of thoughts. So you are standing on the tube of your thoughts. Synonym: eine lange Leitung haben Mach doch: Just do it, if you want Mal schaun/mal sehn: We will see Schieß los: Go ahead/tell it: „Und wie war das Date gestern? Schieß los! Erzähl es mir!“ Feel free to add other phrases!
There was a recent question by someone German I assume, about the Hungarian version of German combinations of prepositions and cases. In my answer I got carried away a little bit and ended up discussing the reuse of endings for different but similar concepts. So here it is as a post. In German, certain prepositions go with certain cases. Examples with Hungarian versions:
Accusative = -t für + Accusative = -ért in + Accusative (direction) = -ba/be in + Dative (location) = -ban/ben neben + Accusative (direction) = ... mellé neben + Dative (position) = ... mellett
As you can see, in Hungarian there are much more cases (endings), but no prepositions. Everything is done with cases or postpositions. Cases and postpositions work exactly the same, apart from the space between the noun and the postposition. Even applying them to personal pronouns (or rather the other way around) is the same.
für mich, neben mir = értem, mellettem für dich, neben dir = érted, melletted für ihn/sie, neben ihm/ihr = érte, mellette für uns, neben uns = értünk, mellettünk für euch, neben euch = értetek, mellettetek für sie, neben ihr = értük, mellettük
Which is by the way the same concept as verb conjugation. Hungarian is extremely logical and lazy: the same concept is reused in surprising places. Just compare the conjugation of ért (verstehen) and the causal case -ért applied to personal pronouns:
ich verstehe, für mich = értem (definite) du verstehst, für dich = érted (definite) er verstaht, für ihn = érti, érte (definite) wir verstehen, für uns = értünk (indefinite) ihr versteht, für euch = értetek (indefinite) sie verstehen, für sie = értik, értük (definite)
The same endings are reused for possession as well:
ich verstehe, mein Land = értem, földem du verstehst, dein Land = érted. földed er verstaht, sein Land = érti, földje wir verstehen, unser Land = értünk, földünk ihr versteht, euer Land = értetek, földetek sie verstehen, ihr Land = értik, földjük
Hungarian is simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity...
