How to say 'LIKE' in German and the difference between "gefallen" & "mögen" 🎯

[@charlesipes3962]

I have been teaching myself German for five years. I have been using books, programs, and videos. I have learned a lot. I can communicate. Not well because I never got the basics down well. Since finding you my understanding has moved light years ahead. Your explanations are perfect! I'm an older learner so retention is a problem but you bring it home.

[@yourgermanteacher]

Great to hear and thanks for sharing. 👍😊

[@thangtrantoan4600]

Wow, me too, I learned German 4 months in class just to know how to read, spell, then in last 7 years, l learn it at home through the apps and youtube, I hardly can communicate because no chance but I think I can, this channel help me to speak confidently !!!

[@venancioespejel241]

Sehr gut, danke vielmals.

You should try using chatgpt. It’s like having a personal teacher you can ask literally anything.

[@pinguplays1]

The best German teacher on the internet. Thank you Luzi!

[@lucasfreitas2245]

As a native portuguese speaker I used the verb "agradar" that in english means "to please" as a cognate to "gefallen" and the translations started to make way more sense 😄. Letting this comment here in case it helps anybody else. "Isso me agrada" "Das gefällt mir"

[@svetape1]

In Spanish we also use Me gusta , and it helps to understand the German structure better

Thank you Luzi. I've been meaning to learn German for a long time, and now I'm watching one of your videos almost every day.

[@fidenemini111]

Excellent explanation with very on point references! Actually "appeal" could be a cognate word to "gefallen" if you look at these two words closer.

[@yourgermanteacher]

🙏😊 Probably yes since both languages have the same “mother language”.

Wonderful explanation. Thank you very much! Because there has been a trend in learning a language through speaking and listening, the significance of learning grammar, I feel, has been somewhat degraded. But we need clarifications like yours in learning a language well.

Great job putting gehören up there to explain how gefallen works. I guess "own" would be the inverse of "belongs to".

[@didinious]

I agree that translating “mögen” into “to appeal to” eradicates all the confusion about the usage.

Hello! gefallen means to please; Diese Musik gefällt mir literally means "this music pleases me"; Gefällt dir mein neues T-shirt?= Does my new t-shirt please you? Those are not natural translations here the use of "like" is more common and natural. Excellent explanation I do like your work and the passion you teach with.

[@Jacklawi]

Hey Luzi. Firstly, thank you very much for all of your videos. They are just amazing. Secondly, is it grammerly correct to say something like "Gefällt mein neues T-Shirt mir?" Usually the object comes after the subject in a sentence. Thanks ❤

[@yourgermanteacher]

🙏😊 Correct, but in case of those special verbs like gefallen the object come usually before the subject: Gefällt dir mein neues T-Shirt? ✅ Gefällt mein neues T-Shirt dir? Would definitely be understandable but not common.

[@victorbrown3570]

Wow, I'm American (US) but I had little problem understanding the sentence construction with gefallen with Das T-shirt gefällt mir. Why, because there is a very similar construction in French, Spanish, and from what I can tell in Italian (which I'm learning). Interestingly for me is that I also speak Portuguese another Romance language, but I don't think this construction exists in Portuguese. Finally my knowledge of some romance languages is helping me out in German. French: J'aime les pommes. = I like apples or Les pommes me plaisent.= I like apples or apples appeal to me. Note the construction is the same though we have some subtle differences in meaning. As usual, great explanations from YourGerman Teachers. If I might add, one of my biggest challenges with German is where one can place verbs / participles. Putting them at the end of long sentences just seems strange to me, but I'm getting used to it.

[@yourgermanteacher]

🙏💪😊

[@particlemane3359]

As an english thinking person, I thought of gefallen as "to please" as in: it pleases me. "To appeal to" makes more sense with dative, but it is a less common phrase than "It pleases me."

[@yourgermanteacher]

🙏👍
