I’ve been binge-watching your videos. I find it very helpful for beginners like me, who is a German learner nowadays. Presentation and explaination is crystal clear. How I wish you are my teacher, because I believe I can truly learn easily and earn a quick progress in my German lessons. Thank you for sharing and putting up great effort for us to grasp and sink the lectures in drastically!
You’re really good! Thank you so much. I didn’t know the rules but just often wondering why they were different ways to use the reflexives.Unfortunately many German teachers are not capable or not interested to teach like you.
I just recently passed A1 with a score of 93, and I should thank teachers Johannes and Luzi for their awesome lessons that helped me get such score. Now I'm moving to A2 and B1 lessons. 😄
Thanks heap Luzi and Johannes and I am grateful for the clear and deep teaching of every concrete basic Thema with a strong backbone understanding. I have one favor. Could you please explain what is the difference in usage of sinken, senken and steigen, steigern?
👍😊🙏 The difference is the subject that is used with these verbs. sinken/steigen needs a passive subject but senken/steigern an active subject. We will cover this topic in the future. 👍🙂🙏
Thanks for the advice 🙂👍🙏 And yes we know about this mistake. 🫣 Unfortunately RU-vid doesn't give any tools at hand to correct mistakes in already uploaded videos. 😔🙏
Vielen Dank für dieses Video, Wie immer hab' ich viel gelernt. Nur eine Frage: „Elena und Rainer gehen jetzt zum Atzt, weil sie sich erkältet haben.” Es gibt ein Problem mit solchen Sätzen. Das ist unklar, ob „sich” Dativ oder Akkusativ ist.
🙂👍🙏 Die meisten reflexiven Verben (ca.90%) sind Akk. Wir haben auch ein Video über dieses Thema. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZmIVxarBojo.html 🙂👍🙏
😊🙏 Gerne. You can check our instagram for some tables with reflexive verbs. They are not specifically about reflexive verbs, but there are quite a lot among them. There will also be a table for this video soon. instagram.com/p/CEuBfKzh8cR/?igshid=j3eic6k7an8v instagram.com/p/CEwa9GjhSiM/?igshid=2yrcf8bvpoth ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HHzILliRgT8.html 🇩🇪🙏💪
Reflexive Verben kommen immer mit seinem Reflexivpronomen. (There is no reason why a certain verb is reflexive, so whenever your teacher writes a verb with "sich" before the infinitiv onto the white board, then you need to memorize this verb as reflexive. In dictionaries it's marked the same way. I know it's really hard to understand. I hope it helps 🇩🇪👍🙏
I'm extremely confused by the way be uses the word "behind" in this video. For the topic where the position of things is of utmost importance, use ambiguous directions in a really bad choice, I think. Still have no idea what should go after what after watching it twice
Hi👋 The easiest way to explain why there is no translation of each word/sentence is the level this video is meant for. It's an A2.2 topic. At this level learners should be able to understand all the words and also need to get used to read / speak / understand easy German sentences without having English translations otherwise they most likely never will. 🙂👍🙏
Hi there I have a question here, Are there *Reflexivpronomen in Dativ* in German? If yes,where it is used ?I just wondered because in the video just _Reflexivpronomen in Akkusativ_ is explained. Tschüß
Yes, there are also reflexive pronouns in dative case. We don't have a video on RU-vid about this topic. But our A2 course available on our website does cover this topic. 👍🙂🙏
@@yourgermanteacher Oh I see. However, I'm gonna write my example sentences here; sich erinnern=Ich erinnere mich an dich.Du warst mein Nachbarn! sich kümmern= Meine Mutter kümmert sich um uns und ich und meine Schwester lieben sie. sich bedanken= Ich habe mich bei meinem Bruder bedankt.Er hilft immer mir. sich freuen= Wir freuen uns auf das Baby.Meine Schwester ist schwanger! Are my sentences correct grammatically and logically?
Thanks for your videos. They are so helpful. Just a small comment: reflexive pronoun is right after the subject, but I guess you are mistakenly saying right behind it. 🙊
Hi👋 Yes, that's one of those "German" mindset mistakes 😂🙊🙈 ... In our newer videos we already avoided this mistake, but you might still find it in our older videos... RU-vid doesn't provide any option to edit once a video is published. 😔 Thanks for letting us know 👍🙂🙏 Btw. Letting us know about mistakes we made, giving any kind of suggestion what we can improve etc. is always welcome. Aus Fehlern lernt man 😊👍🙏
Can someone explain that at 8:00 why did we use erkältet and not erkälten because sie is (they) and for sie we don't konjugate and we use infinitiv form.
This sentence is in perfect tense, which means that "erkältet" is a "past participle", not a conjugated verb. The helper verb "haben" is the conjugated verb in this sentence. 😉👍🙏
@@yourgermanteacher thank you very much. After 3 years I wasn't expecting a reply but thank you sooooooo much. Only because of you guys my German has become better and I got 85% in Goethe A1. Vielen Dank!! 🥺🥺👍 Keep it up!
is it possible to make sentences with this verbs with out prepositions. for example can we make sentence with sich freuen with out preposition auf. plase give me a replay
are the personal pronomen and reflexivpronomen are same ? because they both have the same chart.. only it is using sich instead of ihn sie und es for er sie es
In another video from Luzi about AKK or DAT with reflexive verbs, he indicated to use the reflexive pronoun in DAT with an object in the sentence. For example, ich konzentriere (mich or mir) fur meine Arbeit. Luzi's video said to use mir, this video shows mich. Which is right? Is it because of the preposition fur? This could be because the previous video AKK or DAT had very simple sentences without any preposition. Comment?
Yes, if there is an object right after the reflexive pronoun then its dative: Ich wasche mir die Haare. In this example here its not an object but an entire “Ergänzung” (additional information) with a preposition: Ich konzentriere mich auf meine Arbeit. Reflexive verbs with prepositions have their reflexive pronouns always in accusative. Ich freue mich auf… Ich interessiere mich für.. Ich entschuldige mich bei…. … Hope this helps. 😊
Thank you very much but I have a question, we don’t have reflexiv in our language so I found it confusing, can you explain when do I have to use the simple verb and when reflexive verben ? 😰
Hi... I know it must be really hard to understand when ones mother tongue doesn't have reflexive verbs. If a verb is reflexive you'll find it in the dictionary marked with "sich" in front of the verb. This means that it is reflexive and you'll have to use the reflexive pronoun. Here is an example: I was searching for the verb "to complain" in English (I hope the link works)... dict.leo.org/englisch-deutsch/to%20complain And as you can see, there are different words you can use. The ones with "sich" are the reflexive verbs and if you use one of them then you also have to use the reflexive pronoun. There's no rule why a verb is reflexive or not, so whenever you learn a new verb with "sich", you just memorize it together with "sich". I hope this explanation makes it a bit easier to understand. 🇩🇪🙏💪
Lehrer Lehrer, I am confused. 11:24 "Ich bedanke mich für deine Aufmerksamkeit", here the word 'mich' is only playing a grammatical role, am I correct? Then the overall rule would be sth like: The reflexive pronoun doesn't always have to ''reflect'' onto its subject, is this also true? Otherwise, what's keeping me from interpreting the sentence as "I thank 'myself' for your attention"? Erzählen Sie mir bitte!
The reflexive pronoun "mich" reflects the subject "ich" in this sentence and just like any other reflexive pronoun it can't be translated. So the correct translation is: "Thank you for your attention." 👍🙂🙏
Hello ! I have a doubt ! What's the difference between: Um Viertel vor zehn putze ich mich and um viertel vor zehn putze ich mir die Zähne . In the first sentence we have the pronoun mich and in the second one we have mir. Does this happend with all verbs ? and why? Danke :)
Hi....The verb in your first sentence is wrong. It should be "waschen". The mich in this sentence is an accusative object and is only necessary if you want to say that you wash yourself. Without "mich" the sentence works still be correct, but it would mean that you do laundry. Your second sentence is correct. The "mir" you could also replace with "meine" für example. There are some (not many) verbs that need a reflexive pronoun in dative case, but "putzen" isn't one of them. 🙂🇩🇪🙏
Hi 👋 . Yes, unfortunately that's correct. But there aren't too many up to B1... And once you reach a higher level you will already have developed an instinctive feel for the language and be able to know if a verb is reflexive or not without having it memorized before. 🙂👍🙏
Danke Lehrer. It is really confusing when to use reflexiv im Akkusativ and Dativ 😭. Thank u for helping us learners to understand Deutsch much easier than in books 😊😘
Skifahrer können eine Video-DVD von sich selbst machen lassen Können Sie mir helfen?Ich möchte fragen. Why sich not after können?but after von? Thank you
In this sentence the preposition "von" refers to "sich" and therefore "sich" stands after "von". Maybe the sentence gets easier to understand like this: Skifahrer können von sich (selbst) eine DVD machen lassen. Hope this helps 🙂🙏🇩🇪
The subject refers to "himself/themselves" in those two sentences (Reflexive pronouns) 3. Person Singular: er - sich 3. Person Plural: sie/Sie - sich In English you can translate it to "himself/themselves". The personal pronouns "ihn / ihm" can't be usedto refere to one self, hence the subject and object can't be the same person. Ich kenne ihn. Ich helfe ihm. 🙂🙏🇩🇪
hallo ich habe eine nachfrage , Konnten Sie mir bitte die bedeutung von dem verb "sich handeln" erkaleren und in welcher Situation darf man dieses verb verwenden vielen Dank
Hi... "sich handeln um" benutzt man zusammen mit "es". It's a more formal way to say "it is" z.B.: Es handelt sich um einen Fehler. = It's a mistake. 🙏🇩🇪👍
Hi 👋 "Bedanken" is a reflexive verb and therefore the subject and the reflexive pronoun must match. There is another verb that you can use the way you intend to: Ich danke dir. 🙂👍🙏
We have learnt that with reflexive verbs there will be reflexive pronomens in sentences.it is based on whether the sentence have an object or not. If kein object then it is accusativ but if there is a objekt, then we use dativ pronomen. Reflexive verbs + präposition have any change with this rule? Ich anmelde mich für den Kurs. Warum hier mich? Hier ist ein objekt .so mir will be the reflexive pronomen? Ich bedanke mich bei meinem Onkel.Hier there is dativ objekt..deswegen ist mich..oder??? Mein frage ist reflexiveverbs + praposition + akku/ dativ : always take akkusativ reflexive pronomen?? Please help me to get an idea...
Naja, reflexive Verben kann man in jeder Satzart benutzen, dementsprechend auch in "Infinitivsätzen mit zu". Aber wenn man jede einzelne Satzart erklären würde, wäre das Video 2 Stunden lang. 😉 Als kleine Hilfe: Das Reflexivpronomen leitet "Infinitivsätzen mit zu" ein. Peter fällt es schwer, sich auf das Wesentliche zu konzentrieren. 👍😉🙏
Thanks for this video its very helpful. A piece of advice is in english 'V' in verb is pronounced very similarly to V in german, no need to make the 'w' sound ;D
Would’ve been nice to have the English translations under the example sentences. For those of us that are still building our vocabulary. Danke für das Video
