i feel like it would make more sense to respond to a negative statement such as Pedro isnt learning german with,, yes, he isnt learning german. instead of no, he isnt learning german

[@nadaahmed6236]

thank you so much!! i've been studying german for months and always heard and saw "doch" everywhere but when i translated it the meaning was just "but" but it didnt rlly make sense to me now it makes so much sense. thank you! also interesting to find one more similarity in german to my mothertongue arabic. we also have a "doch" in arabic "بلا" pronounced "bala". the way numbers are said in german is the other similarity. we say the ones first and then tens and if there are hundreds we say the hundreds then the ones and then the tens. so 837 would be "eight hundred, seven and thirty" instead of "eight hundred and thirty seven"

Wie antwortet man dann auf Englisch auf so eine Frage?

@@Abuamatillah7 Eigentlich übersetzt man doch als "On the contrary" z.B wenn die Frage geht wie "Are you not coming to work today"? und die Antwort ist "On the contrary, I am coming to work today". So sagt man "Kommst du Heute nicht zur Arbeit", und die Antwort ist "Doch, ich komme sicher zur Arbeit".

Wonderfull explanation. I've been learning Deutsch as my second foreign language and it's been a roller coaster to say the least. Your videos have been great for me. Vielen Dank! German to me is very easy to understand, Aber very very hard to master. Like you know what is right, but you just cant speak fluently/without errors. Very annoying sometimes, never had this much problem with English. I even studied a little French and it was much more smooth than Deutsch for me. Baby steps i guess, hopefully one day i can speak Deutsch.

Can't we use Yes (Ja) when we agree to a negative statement instead of saying no (nein) and then saying exactly the negative statement?

[@boxsterman77]

I've always negated a negative by saying au contraire, and it seems to me that the sense of "doch" being explained in the video is completely interchangeable with it.

In Arabic it's "بلى"/balā for "doch" and "كلّّا"/kallā for "nein" if the statement/question is negative but if it's positive we say "نعم"/naam/nagħam for "ja" and "لا"/lā for "nein"

[@yourgermanteacher]

😂 yeah not every video has hausaufgaben... 😉 super danke! 🙏

[@carlahorsdeprix3855]

Doch can be translated as but, yet, actually, and after all. Ok, this is more clear to me.. But can I use doch with mal or denn in one sentence?? Because in some cases, doch can also means to make a sentence more friendlier besides to emphasize something. Mal and denn can be use to sound more polite and friendlier too.. or it depends? You can only use one?

[@yourgermanteacher]

no you can use them together and make it sound even more friendly 😊👍 kauf mir doch bitte mal einen kaffee. but always depends how you say it. the tone. mach doch mal deine hausaufgaben!!! more used here to emphasize that its urgent. so the tone you use makes the difference.

I'm a stoned German randomly wondering about foreigners learning the meaning of "doch", so I type "doch" into yt search and you are the first result!

My Oma (1921-1993) used to say it after a hard bit of work. But it sounded like the English word "dough" I think it meant finished or therefor, or (to me anyways) hard work over, time for more hard work to come. Example: Her Lifting two buckets of water to the garden and setting them down.........doch (dough) Giving the dog water ........doch (dough) Carrying firewood up the stairs to the wood stove ........doch (dough) She was middle Franconian and old school German.
