10 German Verbs You NEED To Know

[@GetGermanized]

"Sie" (with a capital S) is used for the polite form (or at the beginning of a sentence), for example "Can you hand me the salt please?" - "Können Sie mir bitte das Salz reichen?". sie (small s) is used for talking about "her" or "they". I hope that helped! :)

[@7r4iL3r]

for me as german, its great to see how much you guys are interessted to learn our language

[@wingicecream7125]

You literally commented three years ago but I'm bored and like to be helpful. You probably know by now seeing how good your English is but "for me as A German" not just "for me as German". Being humble though my German is worse than your English......

[@pats.8511]

[@web2yt488]

This is gold. The best way to start learning german is with this video. It gets to the heart of the language.

[@stickmanmaster007]

the only part that rang a bell in my head was the "du hast" thing... Rammstein FTW

[@MrKirosh2]

JAJAJAJAJa i'd start to sing that song when i hear that part jajajajaja

[@marcox43]

same here! jajajajajja

[@simonpino-buisson4929]

Rammstein is literally the reason i started to learn german... four days ago

[@tiltonal17]

Except that song translates to "you hate" and not "you have" which is soo confusing

[@nemodot]

Like yoda the german speak

[@TaxCrafter]

HAHA and we think you speak like Yoda

[@nataliej.3579]

Haha

[@elgatogordoo]

Thanks a lot for your videos! I'm trying to learn german on my own and this videos are very helpful. Greetings from Chile :D

[@catguy5556]

I agree. With these You Tube videos, who needs Rosetta Stone?

[@dearpeipei]

Only saw this until now...it's really helpful by breaking down these useful grammars and words into little sessions....thank you for making this video!!!

[@SASlegendery]

Thanks these videos are really helpful when trying to study/learn the language!

[@AndrewTGreen]

Finally! After four weeks in Hamburg this is making a bit more sense than when I watched it 3 months ago at home :) Vielen Danke!

[@lizzyruiz9137]

man, your videos are REALLY helpful. danke!

[@friedrichchheng9156]

I love the way you explain. Thank you so much! From Cambodia.

[@0ion]

I'm a little surprised with how much easier it is to learn German then I thought. And this probably applies to all languages, but you mainly just need to learn the alphabet and the verbs! Once you get a good grasp on where they need to go and how to use them, the rest is just memorizing words!

[@yannlortie7294]

0ion then learn French, you'll see how fun the verb tenses are and the particular grammar

[@0ion]

yann lortie I assume that's sarcasm?

[@strafrag1]

+0ion I have studied German for a long time and speak it fluently especially after working for German company. I have never had problems with the verbs. For me it was always the nouns that didn't have endings which told me its case.

[@monmonkkk]

+MehditechPROD The funny thing is like, more than half of french don't even know ALL tenses with all modes :D

[@victoriarhinehart2012]

Well it's easier for Americans too because English is a Germanic language and so is German.They are both similar due to the Germanic language .

[@Defixione3]

I really like your videos series so far, and this video in particular has helped me understand more about German, as I am currently learning it. Thanks!

[@Amsztel]

Good job & great channel bro. Greetz from Poland :)

[@Dan_The_Dude]

I really like the method you use to show the different conjugations. Also, that you use it in a couple sentences first

[@lottsofrandom8605]

I really love watching these videos, its really helped me learn more german. I never got the chance to learn german at school, because my school had a weird rule that because I was put in a certain house at school I had to learn a specific language to that house, long story short my house learnt french, not german. Thank-you for these videos :D

[@ankokudzurawatashi6122]

[@nathidsm]

Thanks man for this video 👍🏻 I’m learning German and this is sooo helpful 👌🏻

[@seemabaansal9164]

Thanks for your videos i have understand it very well

[@kidaria]

Man kann sich schon ein bisschen in dich durch deine Videos verlieben ;-) Echt gute und vor allen Dingen für Lernende lustige (-> kröperteile :D) sowie diesmal sehr nützliche Sachen. Die Idee mit der Tafel im Hintergrund ist super und dieses Video eignet sich besonders für Leute, die noch nicht so~ viel können (gerade im Bereich Konjugation) aber im Urlaub,Austauschjahr,...usw. sich schon etwas ausdrücken möchten, Weiter so! :-)

[@hermannottogohrt5205]

Great video. A lot of people will learn lots from this.

[@GetGermanized]

Thank you! I hope so! :)

[@hermannottogohrt5205]

[@Veryviel009]

[@noobpackers64]

this is an interesting video, i am currently learning german and i find your channel useful :) ich danke dir fur deine Video

[@COMUEN]

That a verbal form, called Konjuntiv I. It is used mainly when you're literally saying what other person says. Although grammaticaly it is also OK to used "present Indikativ" (sie ist), It is "more" correct to used this verbal form in this cases.

[@imogenmckeever6689]

this is probably the most helpful video i've found so far, in terms of german language.

[@multilingual972]

"Meine Schwester denkt, sie SEI die stärkste Frau DER Welt" Indirekte Rede u.a. Genitiv in einem Satz!! Das ist einfach klasse!

[@Swaggarafia]

German conjucation is easier compared to French and Spanish but I these cases (nominative, accusative, dative, genitive) drive me crazy ugh

[@Oswanov]

I'm German and I don't understand many things ^^ But you will automatically understand it, when you use it more often. :)

[@Swaggarafia]

Actually and surprisingly I understand the cases better now. =D I have to implement a good mnemonic technique to help me remember the case endings!

[@Oswanov]

Swaggarafia That's pretty nice :D Good Luck at learning German! Viel Erfolg beim Lernen von Deutsch! :)

[@Swaggarafia]

danke

[@ChristianSchonbergerMusic]

Swaggarafia I agree. The problem is mostly in the prepositions (auf, unter, über, durch, mit, in....) each asking for a specific "Kasus" (Fall). For beginners I can make it a little easier. We have four "Kasus" (Deklinationen, Fälle). 1: Nominativ (the word itself as a subject). 2) Genitiv (from Latin, it doesnt excist in any dialect- it is the posessive form, but there are many exceptions such as "Ich nehme mich Deiner an; Du beschuldigst mich wessen?; Ich tue das deinetwegen...) - dialekts replace the "Genitiv" with either the Dativ or the Akkusativ. 3) Dativ - which is very similar to the "complemento indirecto" = "lhe" in Portuguese; 4) Akkusativ - which is very similar to the "complemento directo" = "lo/o"" in Portuguese. I mention Portuguese because after 30 years it has become almost my second native language (the first being German). Yep, I'm that old.

[@ZonymaUnltd.]

Thanks for the video! Hopefully I can use these videos with other learning methods

[@merrybreitler]

Very helpful, thanks! One suggestion I have is to make a video about the different cases (accusative, dative, etc.). Danke!

[@marlenelucy2346]

this video is really helping .thanks so much en keep it up man

[@flemingdh]

It's the subjunctive form of the verb sein and it's used mainly in indirect speech - you're repeating what someone else said or thinks - in this case "Meine Schwester denkt, sie sei" means "I'm not vouching for the accuracy of what my sister thinks,but she thinks she's the strongest woman in the world". "Sie ist" would literally mean "she is the strongest woman in the world" and would be used if the speaker actually believed that of his sister.

[@juancalahorrano6530]

This is awesome!, thanks for this video Meister!

[@Linkinomoto]

Cool video! Vielen dank!

[@sarkxstalker8204]

This was actually very pleasant to come across

[@MadnessOfMarmots]

I see, thank you, this helps a lot. I didn't know they conjugated the articles

[@ibrahimalkhatib8935]

You sound like a really good teacher why don't you make some more advanced German lessons there are millions of people learning German around the world You would say that there are many other German teachers on youtube but I am sure that you will get views because me for instance, I watch the same German lesson from many different sources Best of luck😉

[@MartinaValachova]

very good lesson, thank you very much!

[@runescapeZYX]

Nicht likes to travel all the way to the end of a sentence at times. This happens most often with declarative sentences. Sie arbeitet nicht. (She is not working.) -> A sentence with just a subject and verb. Er hilft mir nicht. (He doesn't help me.) -> A sentence with a direct object (mir).

[@wallita88]

¡Muchas gracias por subir este video! Saludos

[@corncentralinc.6884]

Thanks for the knowledge!

[@martinmatthiasperner6770]

Nice I learned something today. keep it up

[@lancehewison]

[@Alemanizando]

Very useful.

[@joegirl09]

Great video! It is super helpful!!!

[@dippadaii]

It's called the subjunctive mood (Konjunktiv 1). Here the verb "seien" is used instead of the normal "sein" when you are quoting someone's speech or opinions etc indirectly. E.g. "Er sagt, sie sei in der Stadt." = "He says that she's in town". Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not a native speaker.

[@HerrGeisteskrank]

What about "sein"? This is certainly one of the most used verbs in both English and German. Are you doing a separate video for this?

[@polinamontgomery2496]

Thank you very much! love your videos very helpful

[@runescapeZYX]

There are various elements of a sentence that determine its position. It can be difficult to grasp at first, plus when to use kein vs nicht.

[@coolwinder]

One question, on 5:50 in second example, why u use sei insted of ist. Is "ist" not correct to use in this example?

[@coolwinder]

Great video btw, keep it up! (y) :D

[@19Fenja89]

Ever heard of "konjungtiv"? You use "sei" in this sentence because the sister believes she is the strongest girl in the world. But it is actually not a fact that she is the strongest girl in the world. BUT most germans would say "ist" instead of "sei". Because sometimes it can be quite confusing (even for germans themselves) to use the right grammatical word. I hope I could help you... ^^

[@nurealam1206]

THANKS A LOT. MATE.

[@divvy1400yam600]

My 2 pffengs worth says that you have only described 9 verbs I haveny counted. Moechten is a tense (subjunctive?) of moegen. (umlauts in both cases ?) I cant speak German but I think it does matter because if a person looks up 'moechten' in a basic dictionary he wont find it. Then where will she be ?

[@edujmnz]

"benutzen" is another important verb, I think :D thanks for the video.

[@rollingdownfalling]

read and translate a lot do help with language pattern recognition, don't try to memorize the table as they are for reference only.

[@catguy5556]

I am trying to teach myself some basic German even though there is virtually no one where I live who speaks it. I have a cassette course and an extensive Larousse German Dictionary. The way I do it is I try to learn some phrases, then look for similar patterns in verbs and verb endings as well as the way articles change (die becomes diesen, etc.). Then I attempt to learn some grammar. Then more phrases, etc. I have no idea if that will work. My brain is a bit langsam most of the time.

I am happy that I already know all of them!! Dann ich kann mit Deutsche Leute, sie gut kommunizieren kann ich ! "Ich ,,muss'' nicht lange Zeit im Computer bleiben, weil meine Familie nicht mich ,,durft''.Aber ich ,,mochte'' all Tage die Video von KZbin sehen , weil ich mein Deutschsprache bessern ,,brauche''! nach zwei Stunden ,,gehe'' ich zur Uni ,weil ich eine Stunde von English ,,habe''.Ich ,,mag'' auch English und ich traume ,dass ich eine Englishlehrerin werde aber in Deutschland ,,arbeite'' (lol).Jetzt ich ,,wohne'' in Tunisien und ich ,,denke'',dass meine traume nicht so logisch ist! " I think I used all the 10 VERBS in my small paragraph :p LG aus Tunisien. Sabrina.

[@Celrador]

Dann kann ich mich ja auch mit deutschen Leuten unterhalten. (Then I can have conversations with german people.) / Dann kann ich ja mit deutschen Leuten schon relativ gut kommunizieren. (Then I can already communicate with german people relatively well.) Now I have to guess a bit about what you actually meant: Ich darf nicht allzu lange am Computer bleiben, da meine Familie/Eltern es mir nicht erlaubt/erlauben. (My family/parents don't allow me to stay at the computer for too long. ["muss" can't really be used in this sentence - mustn't = darf nicht - it's a false friend from EnglischGerman]) Aber ich möchte gerne all deine Videos auf KZbin sehen, da ich meine Deutschkenntnisse aufbessern will. (But I would like to see all your videos on KZbin, as I want to improve my German skills. ["brauche" isn't really used in these conditions. It is more likely to be used, if you need to acquire something specific. - Sidenote: "Deutsch" means "language of the people/belonging to the people". Even a lot of Germans don't know that. ;-) ]) In zwei Stunden gehe ich zur Universität, weil ich dort eine Englischstunde habe. (I'm going to the university in two hours, as I have an english lesson there. [I guess you meant "in", as "nach" = "after" didn't really make sense to me in this context. - Also: German uses a lot of neologism. We construct new words by pasting two words onto each other, hence "Englischstunde" = "english lesson".) Ich mag auch die englische Sprache und träume davon, als Englischlehrerin in Deutschland zu arbeiten.(I also like the english language and I'm dreaming of working as an english teacher in Germany. [Good luck on getting your diploma, btw! Otherwise you probably won't find a job here.]) :-| Derzeit wohne ich in Tunesien und ich denke, dass meine Träume nicht so logisch sind. (Now I'm living in Tunisia and I think, that my dreams aren't so logical. [You rather would use "realistisch" = "realistic" in this context, though.]) Greetings from Germany.

Same thing like in Spanish Infinitive: comer- eat Yo como - I eat Tu comes - you eat El/ella comen - he/she eat Nosotros comemos - we eat Usted come - you eat (formal) Ellos/ellas comen - they eat And French as well

[@josealejandro6934]

In the example you give with the verb "denken", why is "Schwester" conjugated with "sei"?

[@cromaura4652]

Im pretty happy I knew all the verbs as I lived 3 months in Deutschland but I didn't interact with Germans at all maybe only while shopping and at restaurants cause my team spoke english only and I'm pretty determined to learn now even though I think you learn faster there because you kinda have no choice if u alone , forced by the circumstances.

[@mimichan8484]

These are all used in my German class and I know them by heart now.

Could you make a video explaining the irregular verbs and the normal verbs? I make allot of mistakes with that and it is confusing at times. BITTE!

[@vollblau5310]

Great video! absolutely zero complains :D Hey, I have a question, how do I use this verb? :"jdn (von etw.) überzeugen ---> persuade sb (of sth)" How would you say "My awesome videos persuade some people to learn German"?

[@robmiranda7120]

[@MrYoungkimba]

Great video. Ich lerne Deutsch. Dankeschön!

[@thepolyglotters5377]

Hallo! Enjoy your videos. I'm a little confused by the dürfen sentences as they don't have the verbs 'gehen' or 'fahren' in them. I read it as 'I am not allowed with on the class trip.' It seems like there should be a verb there to insinuate 'going' or 'traveling' or some other type of movement. Does 'mit auf' take the place of this type of verb? Or is there another reason why a verb like 'gehen' is not used in these sentences? Thank you.

[@konstantinmodin6977]

Diese Lektion ist sehr gut! Kannst du machen mehr Lektion wie diese? Wann du spricht deutsch und dann Englisch es ist einfacher Deutsch lernen! Danke !!!

[@astrofan8775]

Konstantin Modin Hop you have nothing against me correcting you: "Kannst du mehr Lektionen wie diese machen? Wenn du erst auf Deutsch und dann auf Englisch redest ist es einfacher Deutsch zu lernen." But in my opinion your german is very good for a foreign person.

[@saadalsalamah]

Thank you very much for this video , it helps students like me to . Can you advice on what is the best books to buy with verbs and articles? Dankeschön

[@evanknappmusic]

Konjunktiv. I don't totally understand it but there are some youtube videos about it that you can search.

[@rollingdownfalling]

Dominik, can you tell me how to say "I feel sorry for you", is it: Du tut mir Leid or Es tut mir dir Leid. I'm not very sure how to use tun, because the verb works in reverse. plus what is the difference between tun and machen?? e.g "Ich habe......gemacht" gegen "Ich habe ...... getan".

[@MadnessOfMarmots]

So, it doesn't do it all the time, but when it does it's usually a declarative sentence? Is that right?

[@acmilanleomilan]

Hi thank you very much for all videos these videos are really helpful , also i wanted to ask with which program you edit the text because I need , if you do not mind to tell me . Thank you

[@joancostahernandez7095]

Why is "sie sei" but not "sie ist"?

[@Lauert_von_Berndsen]

+Joan Costa Hernández "sei" is a subjunctive mood, specifically the "Konjunktiv I" of "sein". So if you use it in indirect speech, you express that you neither confirm nor refute what was being said. If you use the indicative form instead ("ist") it would mean that you are sure that it really is that way. If you use the "Konjunktiv II" ("wäre") it would express that you do not think that it is true ("Irrealis").
