[@excancerpoik]

Its the same in Swedish if you are adding an adverb or something at the beginning you still leave the verb in pos2 I never realised thats not the case in english until now

[@amajinjams6966]

I have been learning German for 4 years and I have a writing exam coming up soon so I wanted to make sure I have the basics down. I really appreciate your channel; your videos are really nice and concise. 🙏

[@zakhariihusar6975]

Too little likes on this channel. I've just watched 2 videos about German syntax and they're the best on KZbin!

[@광동아재廣東大叔]

As a native speaker, I never noticed that German grammar could be so complicated until I watched this today...

Thank U sir very much .U are great know one can teach like this easily. I am going to tell my all friends to watch this channel..

[@sheepleslayer586]

new to the German language (aside from freshman year in high school). yes/ no questions, place the verb in the first position, right?

[@Germanonlinegym]

Yes that's correct

[@heneralluna6702]

You're every German learner's hero. Thank you for this!

[@johnlawrence3781]

Vielen Dank für die Erklärung.

[@nahhhidwin]

I'm learning GCSE German and from watching these videos I think anyone could actually learn German to an advanced level by remembering these videos and learning words.

[@PalasBrown]

underrated germany teacher

[@Tfifi-y2z]

What about: Normalerweise sehe ich die Berge. Because thats usually how I speak and correct me if I am wrong, I usually speak using plusquamperfekt word order.

[@Germanonlinegym]

That sentence is correct, the verb is in the 2nd position. It's present tense though, not Plusquamperfekt

[@kuldeepgupta3719]

Thank you

[@_reem5598]

I really was looking hard for videos like that, that's so helpful thxxx

[@muktiart9350]

Great!

[@mirajulislam132]

Well,explained

[@p.b.4949]

hello thanks for the video. if i heard 'hast du' in a sentence ie 'gestern hast du einen saft getrunken' id automatically assume it was a question. is there a way of understanding that it isnt a question, or is it just context and inflection ie the way you modulate your voice tone in a question? same if i heard it with the modal verbs too ie 'normalwiese, kannst du die berge sehen'. in fact if you put this sentence into google translate, the only difference to the outcome is if you put a question mark at the end :)

[@Germanonlinegym]

Hi, it's only a question if the sentence starts with the verb. In both your examples the verb is in the second position, thus a statement. If they started with the verb ("Hast du gestern... ?" and "Kannst du normalerweise... ?) then they'd be questions. And please note that there is no comma between 'normalerweise' and 'kannst'.

[@p.b.4949]

@@Germanonlinegym thanks for the reply and explanation! appreciate it

[@nuvaboy]

@@p.b.4949 You could say a statement in a questioning tone, but that is distinct from a proper question, same as in English (I think). Compare "Warst du im Urlaub?" - "Did you go on vacation?" to "Du warst im Urlaub?" - "You went on vacation?" In the first example, you're "actually" asking if they were on vacation, in the second, you (believe to) know they did and are putting the statement into doubt, either rhetorically, to start up a conversation, or to actually make sure. That's what I understand the difference to be, anyway

[@davidward6908]

Thank You for this video on German language word order!

[@diodiof2959]

Thank you so much for this!

[@M93U]

Wow awesome videos mein freund. Danke.

[@Germanonlinegym]

I'm glad you like it!

[@generalgrant6313]

the last sentence is ich rufe dich an denn ich mochte mit dir sprechen.... this doesnt make sense to me because ist sprechen the verb ??? if anyone knows please let me know

[@Germanonlinegym]

You have 2 verbs in the second part of the sentence, möchte and sprechen. When you use modal verbs (möchte, kann, will, soll, muss etc.) then the second verb goes to the end of the sentence, e.g. Ich will in Berlin wohnen (I want to live in Berlin).

[@Darlinq]

Hi! Ich habe eine Frage. Well i am having this trouble about the words and sentence orders, i cant figure them out! I get very mixed up. As i was saying about the words. When the word is "essen", sometimes they use the word as "esse". I dont understand how to use the right words in each sentence. I really hope you understood what i ment! Please reply back if you could try helping me out, thanks! :) By the way, your super underatted, your videos are amazing! Thank you for your help, vielen dank! 😊😁

[@ItssMitch]

You probably know now but I think it's ich esse. du isst. Sie essen.

[@Darlinq]

@@ItssMitch yes i now know! It goes like this.. Singular: Ich: esse Du: isst Er, sie, es: isst Plural: Wir: essen Ihr: esst sie/Sie: essen :))

Heute gehen ich nach Berlin.(is this right?)

[@Germanonlinegym]

'Heute gehe ich nach Berlin' is correct but means that you walk to Berlin (on foot)

[@Germanonlinegym]

'Heute gehe ich nach Berlin' is correct. but means that you walk to Berlin (on foot)

It is gehe because ich means there will be an e on the end

Danke feel mals. I can say just dont know how to spell it.

[@nuvaboy]

vielmals :)

[@doublestone1]

Nice explanation, but obviously wrong. "Gestern hast Du einen Orangensaft getrunken" sounds funny. This word order is used ONLY if the emphasis lies on "Gestern": "Gestern, aber sicher nicht heute, ..." - yesterday but for sure not today "... hast Du einen Orangensaft getrunken." The commonly used word order is: "Du hast gestern einen Orangensaft getrunken." - Nothing else.

[@ryandupuis5860]

This is a clickbait title! It's a common mistake, I knew this from GCSE, when I was 16.

Es regnet, trotzdem geht sie spazieren.

[@sahithilingineni5501]

Gestern,habe ich Berlin gefahren(Richtig satz?)

[@Germanonlinegym]

Gestern bin ich nach Berlin gefahren 'fahren' requires past tense with 'sein'

[@seelenspielt9692]

Gestern fuhr ich nach Berlin

[@ytrishirajxtrim]

Super!
