This is super helpful. Like the first time this word actually makes sense to me. I was looking for replacement words (not just concepts) and this really makes doch make sense now. Thank you!

[@jdlythgoe-hilliard8343]

Nice to see someone else expand on their notes in the same way I did! You came up with the same words I did!! 🙂

[@anaplaza4821]

Danke fur mir helfen!

[@sasfunc6170]

The word "Indeed", I think would be a good translation.

[@justmeeightythree]

I agree! I came here to say that “actually” is a very good replacement word in all these scenarios

[@oneirosgames]

I’m a high school student from Russia, and I’d love to continue my studies in Germany. Thanks a lot with this incredibly useful video! You make the learning process so much more fun 🤩

[@kartelfilms7543]

Hab dich lieb Anja.. Du bist die Beste

[@inventivehandwerk2237]

Doch, indeed! While DOCH is much more flexible, INDEED captures the meaning. However, in English it is seldom used in conversation these days, except when things get dramatic and the user is expressing indignation. Or, a school teacher, for example, wanting to impress a student might say: "Indeed, you should know the answer!" Emphatic, unimpeachable and personal, INDEED, like DOCH, makes a point of making a point.

[@kanumohamedlamin641]

[@zkoanalhmood8629]

Danke für den Ratschlag

[@jdlythgoe-hilliard8343]

um etwas beten = to pray for something (past part. = gebetet haben) um etwas bitten = to ask for something (past part. = gebeten haben) [I'm just a beginner, so I'm assuming maybe where she's from, they might actually use it the way she demonstrated in the video (or maybe it's an older/alternate way to say it?) but I just haven't seen it in the Barron's 501 German Verbs book (2016); however, in the Langenscheidt dictionary (1993), under the entry for "beten" it says: "v/i. (ge-, h) pray (um for), say one's prayers; say grace." Also, in the same dictionary, under the entry for "bitten" it provides: "v/t. (irr., ge, h): j-n um et.~ask s.o. for s.th or to do s.th."

[@gizmo123243]

Du hast vollkommen recht. Um etwas bitten. Nicht beten. 👍🏼

[@mishraarun5000]

Vielen dank sehr geehrte Frau 🙏🙏. Das ist wie immer super hilfreich und nützlich zu wissen. Ich Kündige 😀😀😀😀. Mit Freundlichen Grüßen aus Indien 🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@sebineteymurova6418]

Danke Sehr Anja 😍

[@godfriedhamutenya760]

You are the best.

[@TNGMug]

This was one of my biggest points of confusion studying German.... this little tiny mystery word that would just kind of show up in sentences that I could otherwise understand simply by ignoring it. I even have a memory of asking German speaker *20 years ago* in class and getting an answer like they didn't really know.... something like "it's just there to make it louder" I had started to think of the work as a sort of underline, like "certainly" in English. The problem is it doesn't always work, because I've also seen it in context to work against what is being said. This explains a lot.

[@user-xb7lq4rc5v]

You are very nice Anja keep it going you help more more ppl with your nices Videos.

[@antenorportela1047]

Sehr gut ❤

[@germanlistening]

Danke 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@camaraousman9599]

Wow das ist wirklich sehr gut machen sie genau immer weiter so

[@bismarck_german]

Liebe Anja, i think in this context, it's "j-n um etw.(A) bitten", not "beten". "beten" means "to pray"!!!

[@neezduts69420]

Oh man in this video didn't come fast enough 🤣 thank you! I hear this word a lot in videos and didn't have a clue what it meant

[@aymanmady9672]

Ich habe dieses Video und die Geschichte darin doch genossen 😊

[@Reketeke]

It's like one Yes !

[@-flabber6663]

Hallo, liebe Lehrerin Anja! Doch Ich liebe Ihnen. Doch nicht gehts zuangst. Super, mit dir Deutsch zu lernen.👌

[@gianmarco21lp]

Ich liebe doch deine Videos :)

[@eliassjavaran8409]

Doch sounds more like, Sure, Well and Right and little bit like Like in English, for me. But it also depends the meanings. Danke schön!

[@vadivan77]

The way I relate to 'doch' is, it fits in situations such as "why don't you....", "on the contrary ......".

[@weinrauch83]

- Hast du kein Fahrrad? - Doch, habe ich ein Fahrrad.

[@deutschmitpurple2918]

Das ist ein tolles video. Danke schön. Du bist sehr süß 🥰🥰🥰

[@tangerinedreamer237]

Summary 1. It reverts or counters a negative question or statement. kinda like "on the contrary" but unlike in English, doch can be inserted within the sentence easily. 2. Make a command or statement sound very impatient or angry. can't think of an equivalent in English. 3. An added expression when speaker assumes that the listener already knows the subject that is being spoken about. "duh" - for English, it usually has a negative connotation but I suppose in German it can be neutral (clarification?), unless it crosses into point number 2. 4. Softens the tone of an order and make it more convincing. "try" --> "you should try it/ try it" The video is great, please still watch it! Schauen Sie (doch) diese Video an (added doch so that I don't sound like a book or instruction).

beten - gebetet (um etwas) bitten - gebeten

[@BDGKruger]

In Afrikaans we have a word tog that is used exactly as doch in German.

»Doch« is a tricky word. Danke.

Vielen Dank Anya .. Fast Talking is hard to me to understand...

[@jamesearlpiencenaves5032]

Hallo Liebe Anja. Stimmt das, was du gemeint hast? um etwas beten (to pray) oder bitten (to ask)

[@williamrusselldunn698]

Ich liebe die Deutsche Sprache

Ist “Doch” wie “already” auf Englisch ?

Where do you put it in the sentence? It seems like it moves all over. Doch, verstehe ich nicht.

[@VanillaVictini]

Oh gosh, I would have been so screwed without the subtitles at the start. You're both speaking way way way way, WAY too fast. I really appreciate you explaining 'doch'. It's frankly an utter nightmare for someone like me who is a native English speaker, where such a word does not exist in my language!

[@kylepunta]

Was sollte man den Ausdruck „das gibt‘s doch nicht“ benutzen? Wenn man überrascht oder schockiert ist?

[@fraujoney2806]

Doch doch that's all the time the problem of mein Mann und mein Sohn. Nun weisst ich was genau meins😂Vielen Dank

[@Jeppesper]

Then I think that some possible translations for "doch" in swedish would be: "jo, "visst", "väl", "ju" and "ändå"

[@jeanettaquila]

The Norwegian word "jo" is kinf of similar to "doch" I think.

I like "doch" as an emphatic particle. Das darfst du nicht sagen (you can't say that) ----- Doch! ( sort of a "Yea, I can" in English)

[@whitedragondojo]

Danke Schoen Frau Anja: In deed. Of course. As a matter of fact. Actually. Obviously. Duh !

Liebe Anja, einen kleinen Wunsch: Die Hinweise sind toll, aber ich stelle mir vor, wie hilfreich es wäre, wenn alle Erklärungen auf Deutsch wären.

[@huismus111]

Voor de Nederlanders: “Doch” kan als “toch”, “toch wel”, en “jawel” gebruikt worden
