Alguien me explica como pronunciar el número cuatro en alemán: "vier"

Free Speech is not hate speech . Es bastante fácil. Esa v debes de pronunciarla como sí fuera una f- fier

Free Speech is not hate speech la v en alemán se pronuncia como una v,pero los extranjerismos( las palabras que vienen de otras lenguas) la v se pronuncia como la v inglesa Verb- Vase-Adverb.

usually those another case adjectives like am meisten oder am besten is irregular adjectives. u just gotta remember them, no rules applied

To be completely honest, I was expecting Jenny's answer, but since you spoted the same mistake, I am glad you replied. Have a nice day.

Jenny is very busy. She has a bunch of subscribers, views, comments. I hope I will get 300.000 one day at some point in my life. I am glady for her.

ship is neutral in German - das Schiff But since "Queen Mary" was a woman, I automatically said "die"

Dear Jenny, thank you for your explanation. And you are right. I checked "Hammer's German Grammar and Usage" (page 19/561, section 1.1.2.b), which says that "Nouns with the meanings of ships are feminine". Thank you.

A lot of languages from the Indo-European language group have multiple words for "the". This is because in those languages, "the" must agree in terms of gender (male, female, neuter), case (nominative, accusative, dative, genitive), and plurality (singular, plural) with the noun that "the" refers to. All of this is true for German. For example, the nominative singular articles der, das, and die change based on the gender; the masculine singular articles der, den, dem, and des change based on the case; the nominative masculine articles der and die change based on the plurality (der is singular, die is plural). I don't speak any French but I know that it has a similar article system to Italian, so I will use that. In Italian and French, there are only 2 genders (male and female), and no cases, but there is still plurality. So the italian articles are il (masculine singular), i (masculine plural), la (feminine singular) and le (feminine plural). Italian also has the articles lo, gli, and l', but these only exist to make the language flow better, not for any grammatical reason. Italian and French are both Romance languages, meaning they derive from Latin. Latin actually had cases, and it had three genders, just like German, since they are both Indo-European. However, a colloquial form of Latin developed during the Roman period ("vulgar Latin") that eventually lost the case system and one of the genders (neutral). That is the form of Latin that eventually gave rise to Italian and French (and Spanish, among others!). That's why they are all "simpler" than formal Latin. English is also an indo-european language, but it only has one word for "the". The real question is, why does English only have one? The answer is that English LOST the declensions of "the". So English actually changed the most! The other languages are grammatically more similar to the languages from which they developed. Very interesting stuff!

@@ai841deku sorry if I've missed something but, this seems to explain how the system works and how it was subsequently kept, changed or in some cases lost, not why the multiple words came to be in the first place. Could this have originally been for flow as you said the extra Latin words for "the" came from? Now that I think of it, English has multiple words for "a" still, despite getting rid of the multiple words for "the": "a" and "an," which seems to be also for flow e.g. "a orange" sounds broken while "an orange" flows. Sorry again if I've missed something in what you've said.

Oh, I gotcha. It's hard to tell because of how old all those words are; much older than the English "the". That said, Latin didn't actually have articles (in my understanding). The articles were added later because as Latin was simplified and the case structure started to break down, articles were added in order to specify things. But I don't know where the german articles came from since that's not a romance language. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!!

But to clarify, the different German (and French / Italian) articles mostly come from GRAMMAR, not flow. They specify or agree with gender, number, and/or case. Only gli / lo / l' in Italian are for flow. As far as I know, no German articles ever get modified for the sake of flow.

Danke!

slow but steady wins the race :)

well, I have to make a living. the hairdresser is not free either even though some people don't have money to buy a haircut. Welcome to capitalism.

du kannst das Video so oft schauen, wie du willst, Wenn du in einen normalen Sprachkurs gehst, hörst du alles nur einmal und musst dir alles aufschreiben. Der Lehrer spricht nicht langsam und er wiederholt es auch nicht 10x. Den Vorteil hast du auf YT. Du kannst dir das Video so oft du willst anschauen.

Good for you, not everyone shares your opinion though.
