Jenny, could you do a video on the flavoring particles (mal, eben, schon, doch, etc.)? Vielen dank!

[@lingoniGERMAN]

+Scott Miller Yeah, I have been asked several times to do a video on those. The thing is that they are so hard to explain. So I'll need some time to prepare it. Thanks for the idea! :)

[@ayoubhamdi1]

Thnx. Ich habe das wirklich gebraucht!

[@sangalasli9148]

Hey vielen Dank für ihre Hilfen

[@natnat9539]

Danke aus Ost Belgien ! Ich habe richtig verstanden

[@gabosampallosaez5296]

Ohh!! It’s similar to Spanish, where “Estoy sentado/a” is not the same as “Me siento”!!

[@etharyasser]

Thanks Jenny ! Also, I think this jacket/color really suits you :)

[@arelonis1]

tolle Lehrerin

[@ramenqueen5988]

You are great.

[@rogersilvestre9210]

Ok. then can l use both the german "perfect tense" or the "preterite tense" when refering just to the english "simple past" Do you know what l mean? That is, "lch habe mich gesetzt" means: Both... "l took a seat" and... " l have taken a seat" When should l use one and the other?

[@timboleicester1]

Writing vs. Speaking Besides the difference in complexity and building of the tenses, the biggest difference is in usage. Unlike in the English language, where you decide on the tense depending on how far away in the past something happened or how it correlates to other events in the past or present, these two German past tenses are used depending on whether you are writing or speaking. The preterite tense is used for formal written texts, like newspapers and magazines, but also fairy tales and stories. Using it in spoken German can sound a little too formal. The perfect tense is used in everyday speech, informal conversations with family and friends and is generally always preferred for spoken language. Besides that, the two tenses have the same meaning and are interchangeable. study.com/academy/lesson/german-preterite-vs-perfect-tense.html#:~:text=While%20the%20preterite%20tense%20is,tense%20made%20of%20two%20parts.

[@ahmedadan2281]

Danke vielmals

[@zylusparv410]

Hi Jenny, May I asked why some German verbs will have "sich" before it? E.g sich freuen, sich treffen? Danke

[@mouhsenibrahim1790]

How can I ask someone if I can sit next to him in a bus or a train?

[@mykieu8505]

Hallo Jenny. Wie geht es dir? Es ist mir gerade aufgefallen, dass ich Probleme habe, zwischen "sinken", "senken", "versinken", "versenken" und "absinken" , "absenken" zu unterscheiden. Please help me. :(

[@decykuehn]

This is my sec question, hope u dont mind....i want to know when we can use past and perfect tense. Thanks

[@lingoniGERMAN]

You mean the difference between preterite and perfect tense ?

[@decykuehn]

yes the difference between preterite and perfect tense

[@lingoniGERMAN]

Ok I will do a video on that in the next few days are there are several things I have to explain. And no, you can ask as many questions as you want 😊

[@rogersilvestre9210]

Ejemplo, yo puedo decir: "Willkommen! Sie können sich gerne setzen" Is it correct?

[@lingoniGERMAN]

Ja, das ist richtig!

[@travelwithme5475]

Its 2 diffren thing wo ( dativ sitzen ( wohin Akkusative sich setzen

[@yusufs.3797]

Now I understand why the teacher used to say, Setzt euch !

[@HaroonKhan-vr4si]

super hit

[@somaliudiidaceeb2904]

Hello Jenny, Can i use "Sie können sich gerne hinsetzen" instead of "Sie können sich gerne setzen" and "Ich setze mich hin". Vielen Dank im Voraus Hk

[@lingoniGERMAN]

Yes

[@EundA.]

👍

[@mohamedemadeldin9280]

done

[@djfndndbdndndnd3737]

How do I say “please take a seat”

[@bozidarmitrovic894]

Setzen Sie sich, bitte, or Bitte setzen Sie sich.

[@VickiBee]

Yeah, well, I prefer my native German fiance to explain it - if he wasn't sick and waiting to get a major operation. He's in too much pain to do even his English lessons. He became too tired and too pained to complete the lesson. My German lesson was due yesterday and she marked my use of sitzen vs setzen wrong.

[@rogersilvestre9210]

Then, can you please translate this into german so l can see something? l'm confused. Here l go: "l have taken a seat"

[@lingoniGERMAN]

Ich habe mich gesetzt. // Ich habe mich hingesetzt. // Ich habe Platz genommen.

[@rogersilvestre9210]

l took a seat. (simple past) l have taken a seat. (perfect tense) or (present perfect)

[@hezhasabah3108]

👏👏👏

[@Maxia-Football88]

😄😄😄😎👏👏👏👏

[@bobi94sm1]

Ich habe der gleicher Drucker

[@lingoniGERMAN]

Ich habe den gleichen Drucker. (Akkusativ)

[@bobi94sm1]

+German with Jenny ich mache immer den gleichen Fehler. Accusative ist überhaupt für mich sehr kompliziert. Danke
