Raptor Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 So in what context would you use words with EN and without EN?For Car's example it's like this.We don't use something like is/are/am, so we model the verb in our sentence, depending on singular and plural.I am running Ich ___ RenneWe are runningWir rennen CarPileUp 1 Quote Link to comment

Raptor Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) Ich tue() rennen or simply "Ich renne". (I'm running)I hope you are joking.Corrected lol.Normalerweise meidet man: "tun" und "tue".Er soll schließlich nicht wie ein Kind reden, das nicht weiß wie man den Satzbau korrekt aufbaut :\Yes exactly. Thanks for adding No problem, bro Edited January 8, 2012 by Raptor Quote Link to comment
Dr.Minky Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) We don't use something like is/are/am, so we model the verb in our sentence, depending on singular and plural.So...Ich spiele, or Wir spielen. Wir maggen rennen, or Ich mag renne ? Is that how you use it? Or does it not apply to all the words in the sentence? Edited January 8, 2012 by Dr.Minky Quote Link to comment
CarPileUp Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) Ich spiele, or Wir spielen. CorrectWir maggen rennenIt's "mögen" not "maggen". Edited January 8, 2012 by CarPileUp Quote Link to comment

Wir maggen rennen, or Ich mag renne ? Is that how you use it? Or does it not apply to all the words in the sentence?First two were correct, but it's "mögen" not "maggen" Modeling works different in some casesAnd it's "Ich mag Rennen", because in this case it wouldn't be a verb anymore, it's a noun (Das Rennen)It's like a gerund in your language (To Run [verb] -> Running [noun]) Edited January 8, 2012 by Raptor Quote Link to comment

BlueYoshi97 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I'm Dutch, and I always thought about choosing German over French at school, cuz it sounded logical to me that German would sound more logical since it's similar to Dutch. It doesn't.English and French always been my special subjects, like, when we had to learn words, I only had to read the whole vocabulary 2 or 3 times and I knew everything. German on the other hand, I read it like over 9000 times and still I would forget everything. It isn't logical at all.By the way for me it's pointless to learn German. When someone speaks German to me I can usually understand most of it anyway.But that's me, and things that aren't logical to me are usually very logical to the rest of the world so... good luck!

Dutch people can understand German quite easy, but German isn't more logical in my opinion. The words, and the other grammar is still a bitch... It's only easy when you have to listen/read German stuff (at least it is for me). BlueYoshi97 1 Quote Link to comment

Dr.Minky Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) How are basic connectives changed depending on the scentence? For example, to can be zu or some other thing, what changes this?Like, if I wanted to say, I'd prefer to play ____, would that be, Ich hatte lieber zu ____ spiele, or Ich hatte lieber (?) ____ spiele? How are they used? Any other regularly used words like to, and, the, etc. would be good to Danke! Edited January 8, 2012 by Dr.Minky Quote Link to comment

Any other regularly used words like to, and, the, etc. would be good to Danke!Well, this sentence is quite a bitch to explain xDYou are too direct in translating the english version into the german one.The german sentence is build up differently, but you indeed use the "zu" like you would do in english:I would prefer to play ZS.Ich würde es vorziehen ZS zu spielen.Edit:Y U NO WORK COLOUR EDITING.
