German Language vlog 8 – Basic Numbers

These are the basic numbers that are used in the german language.

In this video, I have shown the whole numbers which are positive and integers.

The way german write their number is totally different from the english world.

For example / Beispiel

In English –
21: twenty-one.
11: eleven
12: twelve
13: thirteen

in German –
21 is Zweiundzwanzig
11 is elf
12 is zwölf
13 is dreizehn

Only by practicing you can tell the subtle changes in their spelling.

The very core of arithmetics is Addition and Subtraction.
Addition is “die Addition” in German.
And Subtraction is “die Subtraktion” in German.

Beispiel

Frage: Was ist zwei plus drei?
Antwort:
2 + 3 = 5
Zwei plus drei gleich fünf.

Frage: Was ist fünf plus dreiundsiebzig?
Antwort:
5 + 73 = 78
fünf plus dreiundsiebzig gleich achtundsiebzig.

Frage: Was ist sechzig plus fünfhundertacht?
Antwort:
60 + 508 = 568
fünfhundertacht plus sechzig gleich fünfhundertachtundsechzig.

Frage: Was ist sechsundzwanzig plus fünfundsiebzig?
Antwort:
26 + 75 = 101
es ist gleich hunderteins.

Frage: Was ist sechs minus eins
Antwort:
6 – 1 = 5
Sechs minus eins gleich fünf.

Frage: Was ist acht minus drei?
Antwort:

When doe thee train depart?
Wann fahrt der Zug ab.

When does the train arrive?
Wann kommt der Zug an.

German Language vlog 4 – Verbs in present tense

Part 1 – Introduction

Part 2 – Verb endings of regular verbs

I am following “Basic German” by “Heiner schneke and Karen seago” as a guidebook. Along with this book, I am also using some other grammar books for supporting material.

Just like in every other language you have to learn it by heart. There are tricks that can make life easier but in the end, you have to learn them.

Verb endings of du, Sie, and er/sie/es are very important. There are lots of things that are related to them in regular verbs and there are even more things in irregular verbs formation.

After reading, I found out that there is no alternate path. You have to learn each Irregular variation. It is filled with exceptions. The pattern helps you in making a correct decision.
