How to pronounce the German "G" | Super Easy German (75)

[@azlopez217]

I'm trying to learn German by myself and this video just made me cry

[@waldeinsamkeit4]

Lol same here

[@Solus147]

Well the good thing is that you can use whatever pronunciation you want, they're all correct.

[@abdelhakboukerdoun887]

But why CRY?

[@wolfie8012]

OMG the "ig" sound was driving me crazy! I kept hearing "ch" and was confused by it. This video cleared it up for me. Vielen Dank!!

[@philip3153]

No matter how hard I try, I feel like I can’t get the sound right. I’m glad that the hard g is also accepted. Ich bin frölich! ☺️

[@MaoRatto]

It sounds like an Appalachian K sometimes. Mainly due to how airy it is. It's barely a G

[@ramamonato5039]

In The Netherlands and Belgium, the "g" of "-ig" is pronounced like "ch" as in Scottish "loch": _ik heb weinig geld._

[@omaraitelkadiaitelkadi9140]

Vielen Dank. Das Episode ist sehr wichtig und sehr interessant. Du bist immer super Cari

[@mohamedsoliman8019]

Obwohl Ägypten gestern bei der Weltmeisterschaft verloren hat, bringt ihr mir immer Freude, wenn ich eure Videos an schaue....es gibt keine Chancen jetzt für Ägypten.Dann werde ich halt die deutsche Mannschaft gerne unterstützen.

[@EasyGerman]

[@mohammedalshehri6647]

Liliana Liliana Es ist " Easy german". Ich glaube, dass du das falsche Video geöffnet hast. Such dann " Easy Russian"

[@kasshiori]

[@ammyq3303]

Ich liiiiieeebbbbeee Easy German. ;-) Es ist sehr gut. :) Thank you for all of the videos!

[@charlieinsane]

Thank you for this video. I've always pronounced it like "ch", but then I started seeing people pronounce it like "k", and I was so confused and thought I'd been wrong all along.

[@sakura7348]

Danke! This video helps me to figure out how to pronounce the "gel" sound in der Hügel (I tried like a million times and it was always incorrect). Basically, it should sound like the ge in die Wege:)

[@0k0sMrHazard]

It would be cool if you made a video about the German "l". It seems to be lighter or darker depending on its placement in a word. I've always been curious about that.

[@ayseyurtsever2558]

Ich danke bei allen Menschen für deine Hilfe zu Deutsch lernen💐❤️

[@therobotuner]

Ich liebe diesen kanal!

[@adamwnt]

i was always wondering about that when travelling in a car in Germany and knowing some very basic German. Dankeschoen :)

[@ileniag2555]

Omg ciao! I'm from Italy, that final "ciao" was a surprise! Arrivederci al prossimo video! :D

[@orijut]

"ciao" is very common in German. :) We only use it for saying goodbye, though, and only in informal settings (between younger people and friends, in informal work environments, etc.).

[@omidaafif4150]

Das Interview ist fertig. danke :D

[@yetsimarin]

Super!!! Ihr seid so wunderbar!! Danke!

[@mercedeslb237]

Merci beaucoup.Très intéressant.Danke.

[@ЛенаМаленька]

Cool. Danke

[@pandajules]

Do you have a similar video with "ch" and "r"? I find it so difficult and end up kind of hurting my throat just to make it sound more german!

[@EasyGerman]

How to pronounce "R" in German: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZKtgKaCi6-jbrc

[@EasyGerman]

How to pronounce "CH" in German 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKCZlomwiq1lmas

[@fremejoker]

for ch: Set up your mouth and tongue as you would pronounce a German E. The left and right edge of your tongue should cover a bit of your lower teeth both sides, get your upper teeth also down, but do not bite your tongue. Your upper and lower backteeth should touch the tongue. Now instead of pronouncing the E just breath out the air. Practize that until you get a hizzling sound. Now try ich, mich, dich, Licht, Wicht, Gicht, Sicht, richtig, wichtig, nichtig, lichten, richten, wichteln, sichten

[@colt-one]

The ch (one of them) is the hissing cat sound, the R is the purring cat sound.

[@Schush]

The samples that show with Der Weg, they pronounce with the soft g sound instead of the k sound.

[@aneni]

Welche Version, von den beiden -ich und -ig, ist jetzt mehr Hochdeutsch?

[@evaundele123]

Definitiv -ig.

[@fremejoker]

Die hochdeutsche Standardaussprache für -ig ist -ich.

[@mil_enrama]

ich glaube es ist eine regionale sache, in österreich hört man nur -ig (also -ick). beide gehen schon, es ist nicht sehr wichtig.

[@abdelhakboukerdoun887]

Hallo!! Wie geht's ihnnen Easy german Familie !? I think there was a mistake in translating "Der Berg ist hoch" (you wrote the mountain is tall) correct version as far as I know is: the mountain is high. Vielen Dank Easy german.

[@kurzhaarguy]

Nochmal, interessant und wichtig.

[@mahmudjonnurmatov9765]

Ihr seid toll

[@buddcz]

So gucken is pronounced /kuken/ ? Are there other words that turn "g" into "k" at the beginning of a word?

[@konradhalman5104]

[@nyashkov]

[@nawrasmatlak1999]

Cari ..ich hoffe dass kann ich mit euch mitmachen

[@rafaellabaez5630]

Isn’t the “h” in gehen silence?? Before this video, I’ve always heard it (or unheard it haha) like that. Is this because of a regional accent?? How is it then ??

[@tatianadekun435]

genius woman!!! 2:07

[@cyrusgomez7873]

"How to pronounce R in German? " I think that's more difficult.

[@thongoc8030]

"R" in german is pronounced as "G", but it is rhotic g. You need to make it vibrating in your throat at your larynx. If you say plain g, people still understand you but it doesn't sound so german because german accent requires really strong voice.

[@RachelJNam]

Ganz interessant! Gibt es auch Varianten mit der Aussprache, "Hamburg"? Ich glaube, ich habe "HamburG", aber auch "HamburCH" gehört.

[@ffflammie]

das habe ich auch in letzten Tagen manchmal gehört, die Hamburch-Version höre ich in hier in Hamburg nicht so oft, so ich habe gedacht das muss aus andere Dialekten sein?

[@RachelJNam]

Die Person die Hamburg, wie Hamburch ausgesprochen hat kommt aus Dortmund... weiß ich gar nicht ob das ein Dortmund-Ding ist...

[@karlheinz5858]

Hamburch ist eine typisch norddeutsche Aussprache von Hamburg. Zusätzlich gibt es aber auch noch Hamborg, was aus dem Niederdeutschen entlehnt wurde. Standarddeutsch: Der Weg von München nach Hamburg ist sehr weit. Norddeutscher Dialekt (etwa): Der Wech von Münchn nach Hamburch is sehr weit. Niederdeutsch: De Weg vun München na Hamborg is bannig wiet.

[@norberttorzsa299]

Die Landkarte war so interessant, wo haben wir gesehen, wo-was spricht man. 😁

[@robertgrantham1023]

You pretty much will only notice the g/k shift once you venture into Southern Germany, and Austria, correct? I know it's very apparent in Bavaria but what about with the Swabian dialect?

[@norberttorzsa299]

Mach mal einen Video über den "ich/isch". 😀

[@scheck006]

Warum fragte der Kerl "hast du zwanzig Mark für mich?"? Benutzt er noch nicht den Euro? 😂

[@ayeluru]

Enlightening!!

[@mattko]

Sehr gut

[@lazyperfectionist1]

Es ist kompliziert. Genau.

[@MrGMS1221]

1:25 Und dann kommt ein Tiroler "Der Toook" :D

[@jhonnroh]

Ich muss eine Frage stellen. Warum manchmal die Leute änder die Aussprache des Buchstabens "G" , z.B. wenn die erste Frau, die König sagte, sagte etwas wie Könich, aber die andere Leute sagten Konic ? (ich versuche etwa die Aussprache imitieren). Es gibt eines "richtige" Aussprechen?

[@fremejoker]

Die Standardaussprache von -ig ist -ich, aber du kannst auch -ig als -ik aussprechen.

[@MartyGNZ]

Königlich just proves that you‘re not correct. It‘s much easier if you read and speak as it‘s written... otherwise you start making way too many exceptions to accommodate the particular dialect in your region.

[@fremejoker]

The standard pronunciation of '-ig' as the ending suffix in the standard dialect called modern German is '-ich'. It's up to the speaker, if he/she want's to pronounce '-ig' as '-ik' or '-ich'. That's why it's called standard dialect and standard pronunciation. Most speakers of the standard dialect tend to pronounce '-ich'. In 'königlich' the ending suffix is '-lich', here the '-ig' is pronounced as written respectively hard. That's because the change from '-ich' to '-lich' is not that easy as from '-ik' to '-lich'. The problem is not phonetics, it's the German orthography. The German orthography doesn't show changes in pronunciation. By the way, the orthography doesn't determine the pronunciation, it's actually the other way around, but the orthography doesn't change that quickly.

Is true that eastern germany is a mix of czech and polish ethinic?

[@rodrigotbo]

Hallo Carii, ich bin ein großer Fan von Easy German und wollte gern an einer Aufnahmen bei euch teilnehmen. Wie nehme ich Kontakt mit euch? Viele Grüße aus Brasilien! (Ich befinde mich zurzeit in Deutschland)

[@hamidkulami2761]

super

[@zainabelsayed1898]

Danke.thanks alot So is there a problem if we pronounce it as English G in all words?

[@peachfreude]

Cari, could you please do video for german alphabet with umlauts as well?

[@FaberBollonius]

how to pronounce the letter "G" as a Colognian (this phrase doesn't make any sense, it just contains all the differen ways to handle that letter in Cologne, Germany): Ein Kölner sagt: "Einen Flugzeugträger jagen" und "reiten"... Ne Kölsche säät (g is dropped): "Ne FluCHzeuSCHträJer jaRe" and "riGGe" (so the normal G is spoken in words tha even don't contain a G in standard german) A Colognian says: "To hunt an aircraft carrier" and "to ride" ,

[@internationalaviation8325]

Hi Cari,thanks for this video,it's wonderful,but can you record the episod about what kind of future will see the Germans?

[@zaher9xc999]

I think the Problem is with letter "R" some Germans pronunced it like french "R" the other like English

[@ramyyakoutebrahim4305]

why some German pronounce ig like ( ik ) and others pronounce it as (ik). i don't understand. is this just a dialect difference?

[@EasyGerman]

Yes, that is a regional difference! ☺️

[@bluesea1769]

German sounds sweet.😉

[@carlosmurray4520]

Die Aussprache des Buchstaben G variiert wie verrückt in ganz Deutschland! Die Wörter ZWANZIG, BESTÄTIGT, GESAGT können in einer der folgenden Kombinationen ausgesprochen werden: A) zwanziK, bestätiKt, gesaKt B) zwanziCH, bestätiKt, gesaKt C) zwanziCH, bestätiCHt, gesaKt D) zwanziCH, bestätiCHt, gesaCHt Die Kombination, die ich am schönsten finde, ist C.

[@verbotenco]

The 'ch' pronunciation comes from Holland, no?

[@graemeroberts2935]

Wow! Polish people speak German well.

[@kasshiori]

Graeme Roberts Polish people can do everything.

[@graemeroberts2935]

I have no doubt, Liliana, and that has certainly been my experience!

[@Solaxe]

Many German letters are pronounced in the same way in Polish, also Polish is a very flexible language so it's a bit easier for Poles to imitate other accents and such.

[@Sam-em9zy]

1:20 all of this just to say "God moves on this way" ??

[@stevebartley8594]

My first teacher said ‘ik’, the next 2 said ‘isch’ for ‘ig’. I seem to hear ‘isch’ on the youtube videos I watch. Do all Germans understand each way?

[@fremejoker]

Whether you pronounce -ig as -ich or -ik doesn't make a difference. The standard pronunciation is -ich for -ig.

[@Tommusix]

Habt ihr die Leute vorher darum gebeten, das G korrekt zu betonen?

[@juliz2500]

Rahell Omer Why?

[@industrialsteelframe3077]

Juliz he looks depressed af

[@Rahel_Rashid]

Juliz Well, he has zero interest interacting with the people he's interviewing and the very first seconds in the opening (around 0:27) you see that he's late to initiate walking. Jesus, first I was joking, now I'm concerned

[@bluebeamsky]

No he doesn't, he just looks kind of awkward or nervous, but actually kind of amused at some points.

[@sannitabell]

I thought you weren't supposed to say the "h" in "gehen".

[@juliz2500]

Sanni-Lotta Tabell that's right, you don't pronounce it. I think they wanted to say the words very clearly, that is why they pronounced the h in the video.

[@sannitabell]

Juliz Okay, thanks!

[@joseespinoza6283]

I guess that´s also a variation in pronunciation.

[@languageandmana9255]

[@johnsnowkumar359]

How Angela Merkel pronounces her first name::: G in spoken German is essentially the 50 percent English pronunciation oF G __ as in GONE, as it has "G" in English. It's just like GONE or GREECE or GREAT in sound. Angela Merkel = pronounced (ANGLEE - LAA) IN gERMAN ROGER FEDERER = pronounced (ROG - GR) as in great, in Swiss German only. not in other Swiss languages. K IN SPOKEN GERMAN is nearly always pronounced "K" as in Africa (German spelling for continent Africa) . In other works, the word and spelling (AFRICA) in a German letter or paragraph is highly likely to be pronounced by Germans as "AFRISAA". This is why the continent AFRICA is spelled by Germans as "AFRIKKKKA". This is also why Nazi soldiers used to shout "ACHTUNG AMERIKANER". sSo Germans wound likely PRONOUNCE "KANSAS" RIGHT AS IT STARTS WITH A "K". Germans whose mother tongue is German may initially pronounce "Connecticut" as wrongly as "SONNECTICUT", until someone corrects the German national.
