About the German language
Countries where German is spoken:
German is spoken by more than 120 million people in Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and in parts of Belgium, Northern Italy and Eastern France. German is a key language in the European Union and the new economies of Central and Eastern Europe. Every 10th book worldwide is published in German language. There are German speaking communities in Canada, US, South-America, South-Africa and Australia. Due to its feudal history, unification and standardization of German language was not brought about till the 18th century when many outstanding writers (Goethe, Schiller...) took great pains to form the language. Like English, German is a pluricentric language with three major national centers of language usage: Austria, Germany and Switzerland. Those varieties are not considered to be dialects, but are equally correct and acceptable in all contexts (media, legislature, education ...) About the German grammar German adjectives An adjective is a word that modifies a noun. Adjectives can describe shape, color, size, and many other things about a noun. German adjectives, like English ones, usually go in front of the noun they modify: "der gute Mann" (the good man), "das große Haus" (the big house/building), "die schöne Dame" (the pretty lady). Unlike English adjectives, a German adjective in front of a noun has to have an ending (-e in the examples above). Just what that ending will be depends on several factors, including gender (der, die, das) and case (nominative, accusative, dative). But most of the time the ending is an -e or an -en (in the plural). With ein-words, the ending varies according to the modified noun's gender. German adverbs An adverb is an invariable word that modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. Adverbs can provide additional information about time, manner, place, frequency, or quantity. They explain when, how, where, how often, or to what degree something is done. There are three categories of adverbs and adverbial expressions in German: Time, Manner, and Place [Zeit, Art & Weise, Platz/Ort]. Adverbs in German do not have endings (unlike English, where many end in -ly)! Their place in word order is also different. It often occurs that a sentence begins with an adverb, typcially with adverbs of time. Here are examples of adverbs and adverbial expressions: TIME [Zeit] (wann/when? wie lange/how long?)
German conjunctions Conjunctions provide a link between similar words or groups of words, such as nouns, verbs, people, etc. There are two types of conjunctions in German: coordinating conjunctions and subordinating conjunctions. Subordinating conjunctions introduce a dependent clause, coordinating ones coordinate clauses of the same type (two or more main clauses or two or more dependent clauses). A. Coordinating Conjunctions Coordinating conjunctions coordinate clauses of the same type (two or more main clauses or two or more dependent clauses). There is no special word-order rule; the basic rules apply. The most common coordinating conjunctions are:
German nouns A noun is a word that represents a thing, whether that thing is concrete (e.g., a chair, a dog) or abstract (an idea, happiness). German nouns are very easy to spot: they always begin with a capital letter! German is the only world language that capitalizes all nouns. Whether we are talking about a simple tree (ein Baum) or Deutsche Bank, any noun is capitalized in German. The other important thing for English-speakers to understand about German nouns is the matter of gender. German nouns parallel he, she and it (er, sie, es) by also being masculine (der - DARE), feminine (die - DEE) or neuter (das - DAHSS). We can see the parallel very clearly by the ending letters for each article/pronoun: der = er, die = sie, das = es. Although it is possible to know the gender of some German nouns, there is no better way than to simply learn each noun and its gender together. Don't just learn Baum (tree), learn der Baum (the tree)! Der, die and das are the definite article, same as "the" in English. In German the definite article is much more important than it is in English. For one thing, it is used more often. In English we might say: "Nature is wonderful." In German, the article would be also be included: "Die Natur ist wunderschön." So knowing which article to use becomes even more important. The indefinite article ("a" or "an" in English) is ein or eine in German. Ein basically means "one" and like the definite article, it indicates the gender of the noun it goes with (eine or ein). For a feminine noun, only eine can be used (in the nominative case). For masculine or neuter nouns, only ein is correct. This is a very important concept. It is also reflected in the use of possessive adjectives such as sein(e) (his) or mein(e) (my), which are also called "ein-words." German prepositions Prepositions are the little words that are placed in front of nouns in order to indicate a relationship between that noun and a verb, an adjective, or another noun. Common prepositions in English/German include: in/in, to/zu, for/für, and with/mit. German prepositions fall into four categories, each governed by a particular case or cases: accusative, dative, dual (acc. or dat.), and genitive. Examples of prepositional phrases: auf dem Tisch (on the table), fürs Geld (for the money), im Wasser (in the water), mit seiner Mutter (with his mother). German verbs A verb is the action word in a sentence. It is the word that says what happens, discusses an action, or describes a state of being. German and English don't always talk about the past in the same way. In English we use the past tense to say, "I used to live in Berlin," or "I lived in Berlin," if we no longer live there. As long as it was in the past, German also uses the past tense: "Ich habe in Berlin gewohnt," or "Ich wohnte in Berlin." (The first German sentence is in the present perfect, the second in the perfect/simple past/narrative past tense. The first is also known as the "conversational past.") However, when we want to express, "I have lived in Berlin for 15 years," (and I still live there) in English, we use a present perfect construction ("have lived"), while German uses the present tense with "(schon) seit" to convey this idea: "Ich wohne schon seit 15 Jahren in Berlin," literally, "I live/am living since 15 years in Berlin." The German verb "werden" is very versatile. It is used in many ways, and is thus a source of confusion for learners of German. By itself werden means "to become." Used with an infinitive (the "to" form) of another verb, werden forms the future tense: "Er wird den Brief schreiben." ("He will write the latter.") But used with a past participle, werden forms the passive voice: "Der Brief wurde von ihm geschrieben." German uses both the passive voice and the future tense much less than English. German also has many substitutes for the passive, often using the pronoun "man" (one/you/they; not to be confused with "der Mann"). German often uses an active construction such as, "Hier spricht man Deutsch," for "German spoken here," a passive construction in English.
