Wow thankyou so much for this video! All of your videos really helps me alot! The fact that I just moved to Switzerland & learning those stuff at school isn't easy. I went to like an extra class german today, one on one teacher & those whole hour, he can't even explain it to me very well! Wasted my 1 hour. Just watched this video & hallelujaaa I get it!

It is used is speaking when you are paraphrasing what someone else said or in giving commands (particularly the konjunkitiv I of sein), but I guess my point is that you mostly see it (perhaps recognize it is even a better word) in newspapers or in reports.

Awesome explanation I have learnt a lot from it and I am very confident using them. Tolle Erklärung ich habe davon sehr viel gelernt.

[@blitztag1]

I'm not saying it is not spoken but just not as often as other tenses when speaking comparatively. In your opinion which would be used more in everyday speech - Konjunktiv I or Konjunktiv II? Does one hear the Konjunktiv I more for the purpose of relating indirect speech or for commands or for talking about hypothetical situations?

[@andavalto]

Thanks a lot. Its really useful. I have been reading articles on Internet (Spiegel, Die Zeit, etc.) for a long time and these kind of sentences with Konjunktiv 1 have been hard to get. But now its much easier.

Unrelated question but if I use "Man", as in . "man findet, man tut, man schreibt", but want to use a verb where you need the dative pronoun (e.g. vorstellen: ich stelle mir vor), like, "one imagines" or "we generally imagine" is it ihm or is it something different?

[@DurdenTyler3]

That's perfect! Subscribed:) Are you a native english speaker?

[@ZiiiP2142]

You didn't mention that Konjunktiv II can be used instead of Konjunktiv I sometimes.

[@chargonchar]

What do you mean by that? I am German, and I can tell you, the Konjunktiv is very much used in spoken German.

[@kiki-sm4me]

Hallo.. also konjunktiv II verstehe ich jetzt was es bedeutet und wo es benutzt wird, also wenn ich .., wäre hätte oder würde ich so... tun.oder machen aber konjunktiv I ist mir unklar 😕

[@exalism]

Very good!

[@davidcanoart]

This is just for reading and writing, right? When speaking is not used.

[@traumjunge5044]

you teach perfectly

[@bkstandukar]

really really really useful

[@chargonchar]

Sorry Herr Wallace, I didn't mean to criticize you. I was merely answering to David Cano Leal's question whether the Konjunktive would be used in German or not. - But you are right, its usage is on the decline, unfortunately, I must say. Because I love the Konjunktiv very much. As for K 1 and K2, the indirect speech is used by less and less people these days, even the TV news presenters refrain from it. In hypothetical situations, it is very much alive. Although people tend to mix the forms now.

[@davidcanoart]

thanks for the respond!

my first port of call when starting from scratch on an aspect of grammar [ no pun intended with aspect]
