You said in a previous video already, that german has latin rootes, so I really need to correct you: There are 3 main branches of languages in europe: latin, slavic and germanic. German and english both have west-germanic rootes, that's why a lot of words especially in basic conversations are really similiar. Even tho english got influenced by latin and other languages a lot more, it's still an germanic language. Latin languages would be spanish, italian, portugese, french for example.

@@poppers7317 That is very controversial. Most linguists have given up at that topic, there is no consensus about a "family tree". German has influenced many Balto-Slavic languages (and vice versa), like Latin has influenced many Germanic languages (and made even some become Romanic). French is a Romanic language with Germanic-Celtic roots. English is a West-Germanic language with early Celtic and later French influences (the direct Latin influence was not so much higher than e.g. on the West and South German dialects, but German took some other loanwords than English did and hid them also better within its own syntax and grammatics). Balto-slavic, Germanic, Italic (from which the Romanic languages derive), Hellenic, Celtic are all branches of the Indogermanic group, so they are all somewhat related to one another. But neighboring languages did always influence one another and did become somewhat more related. The German word "Fenster" e.g. is taken from Latin, while "Schmetterling" is combined from a Slavic loanword and a German ending.

I think what he meant that many words in German (and English) have Latin roots, not the whole language.

Remembering German words is not difficult. Both are Germanic languages so they share many cognates. For example 1. Berg-berg (berg is the native word for mountain in English, the word mountain comes from Anglo-Norman, from Old French) 2. Zeitung-tiding (this one is archaic). Zeit in German means time which cognates with English tide, from Old English tīd (time) 3. Blume-bloom (Bloom is the native English word for flower, the word flower is a loan word from Anglo-Norman, from Latin; but, bloom and flower are cognates) 4. Baum-beam, from Old English bēam (tree, wood, collumn, beam). Have you heard Baumkuchen? 5. Fahrrad, from fahren (drive, ride)+Rad (wheel), the word fahren cognates with English fare, which from Old English faran (to drive, to fare, to journey) 6. Bett- bed 7. Buch-book

there are also some words with different meaning depending on the pronoun, which even some germans don't care to learn, eg: der Schild = the shield (weapons&armor), vs das Schild = the sign/label (maybe derived from a shield above a shop with a picture to indicate the profession). therefore it mostly is easier to learn the correct pronouns together with the words, and not need to relearn it later.

Due to the heavy norman influence on the British Isles there was a strong influx of latin words however, so many words have also different origins, particularly for more "high-brow" words, as the norman words were more often used by the nobility. The germanic roots still show in many of the "everyday" words tho.

@@Cau_No When learning German, yes, keep the article. But if you are just curious how similar two languages are, I don’t think knowing the article is relevant.

If you're truly interested in learning German, learn a bit more about the shared history of the English and the German language. Whatever language you're coming from and whatever language you're learning, if there's some shared history or other things the two languages have in common, knowing about it helps big time! I'm currently teaching German to my girlfriend who's a Spanish native speaker. Pointing out similarities and differences really helps her! For example, the Spanish "j" sounds pretty much like the "hard" pronunciation of the German "ch". The vocals are pretty similar in Spanish and German (even tho the Spanish "e" always sounds like the short e or ä in German). For English and German, we have so many things in common due to the languages' shared history! Back in Shakespeare's days, your informal "you" was "thou", which is pretty similar to the German "Du". Even the conjugation was similar with the -st at the end of the verbs in their present form. Most of our days of the week are similar. "Friday" or "Freitag" in German comes from the Norse goddess Freya. "Thursday" or "Donnerstag" in German is both named after the Norse god Thor (which, in more southern regions was mostly called "Donar"). Also don't get confused by the German love for long words. Learn the non-combined words and you'll be able to understand most complex, combined words with ease. The Germans often were just lazy in creating new words, so they used combinations of existing words to describe things. Just like in English, just to a greater extent. What it a dishwasher? A machine that washes dishes! Just like that, the last part of combined words usually gives you a rough idea of what word you're looking at, with going from right to left, the description gets more precise, just like with dishwasher. It's a washer (aka a washing device), but what does it wash? Dishes! Never get discouraged by our long words please!😅 German may be complex, but if you learn a bit more about the history of the English language, you'll notice that English used to have all the complexity the German language has, and often even the same rules. English just got "dumbed down" way more than German over the centuries😅

Wenn Du mal hier bist, dann lade ich Dich gerne auf ein typisch deutsches Essen und ein Bier ein. Mach weiter so und viele Grüße aus Münster in Deutschland. 👍

The difference between "Der, Die, Das" is that "Der" is the masculine, "Die" is the feminine and "Das" is the neutral article. This is the simple explaination but it is way more complicated as that in reality because there are no rules for wich word uses wich article. Sometimes it fits like with "Der Vater" (the dad). But sometimes it is completley random like with "Die Brücke" (the bridge). Here it has the feminine article despite bridges being objects. Logically the neutral article would fit better for the bridge but as I said it is completley random. And then there are also special cases like this: normally it is "Die Blume" (the flower), so it has the feminine article. But if I wanted to say that I gave water to the flower it would mean in german: "Ich habe DER Blume Wasser gegeben". So here the flower gets the masculine article just for this special sentence. The german articles really are one of the most difficult things when it comes to learning german. Edit: My explaination of the special case is not right. The correction is in the comments.

no, in "der Blume Wasser geben", the DER is NOT masculin, but it is the -second- third case feminin which only looks the same as the first case masculin ... the four cases masculin are der/des/dem/den and feminin die/der/der/die, which translates to something like the/of the/to the/the (answers to the questions who/whose/towhom/whom)

there is a lot wrong in this. 1st there are rules to what article goes where, just a few examples every word with the following endings belong always to the article der: -er, -ismus die: -ade, -age, -anz, -enz, -ik, -ion, -tät, -ur das: every word which "makes something cute?" (dunno how to translate) -lein and -chen; every adjective/verb made a noun (die rote farbe "red dye" -> das Rot "red") most of the words with the following endings belong to the article der: -ant, -ling, -ner, -or die: -e, -ei, -ie, -in das: -ment, -nis, -o, -um, -tum your "special cases" are nothing special at all. german has 4 cases by default "nominativ, genitiv, dativ, akkusativ" which all have a very distinct use. but for simplifying reasons german has all their dictionary articles in the 1st case. singular der, die, das (1st case "normal") des, der, des (2nd case indicates possession) dem, der, dem (3rd case indicates action with something/someone) den, die, das (4th case indicates talking about something/someone exception: the article is the first word of the sentence -> 1st case) plural (always "feminine" with irregularity at 3rd case) die der den die i aggree that articles are one of the more difficult things but i think that just listening to german a ton will make it come naturally. and not having the right articles should very much not concern someone who is learning german for a year. doesnt matter if its the wrong one, "comprehensible it will be anyways" as yoda it would say :D

That's what I love about german - if you see a word, you just pronounce it like it's spelled. When you get a hang of it as a foreigner, you can mostly figure out where to put the pressure. In that sence Danish is more complicated, because we have letters you don't pronounce and no system in our grammar.

@@alexis.d.santos phonetic alphabet would be the most scientific and most exact approach, but in addition to learning the new words, people would need to learn two different versions of words for reading and speaking (and still might be stuck on listening, with more different phonetic variations in dialects), including a very extensive new alphabet of phonetic letters. for normal everyday use it might be helpful to understand some phonetic letters when looking at a dictionary, but for casually learning a new language (especially when it is the first non-english language) that would be much too complicated. imho, in contrast to english, most european languages have pretty similar basic pronounciation of vowels/letters and the letters in a word. of course, there still will be lots of exceptions (eg the ca/co/cu/ga/go/gu vs ce/ci/ge/gi in french and italian, or the spanish J and one of the german ch, or the spanish xe) and lots of small variants like short and long versions of any sound, but imho much less differences between each other than when compared with english, just say a-e-i-o-u in any non-english language which mostly should be similar to something like english uh-eh-ee-ow-oo :-) or to get the english pronounciation of vowels, you might write in german äi-i-ei-au-ju. thus my guess is that someone would struggle a lot less when first training the vowels in the desired language or maybe even in most any other language, and then all the consonants "as pure sounds" without an attached vowel (eg "b" instead of english "bee", "c" instead of english "see", etc). although every american should be able to pronounce Wurst (sausage) correctly, as if it was spelled voorrst, in 99% of the cases that i heard it, it ended up as "worst" or "würst". already being able to say these two variants and knowing a proper german default U should allow to correctly say "wurst". whether that U then is a short one or long one would be a matter of german dialects, but any U would be better than Ö or Ü. surprisingly the other word for sausage which is Würstchen (="little sausage", eg a Wiener) *with* an Ü, seems to mostly be pronounced with an U instead, which was apparently impossible when saying Wurst, now turning Wurst into Würst and Würstchen into Wurst-shen. why are the two exchanged? no idea why, but certainly not because they can't produce those two sounds.

And even if you are wrong, the conclusion you came to can help you remember what the word ISN'T.

I tried finding a word not following this rule while writing this, I couldn't. Words ending in 'en' are most of the time masculin: der Boden (floor), der Haufen (heap), der Laden (store). Same goes for words ending in 'er': der Käufer (buyer), der Verkäufer (seller), der Vater (father).

>doesn't know german >takes a german test Ryan you are a fricken genius

Many comments tried to explain grammatical gender. Let me add that there is actually some logic to it: for example if you substantiviate a verb like "backen" (to bake) the result is always neuter, e.g. "das Backen" (baking), while the constructed actor, e.g. "der Bäcker" (the baker), is always masculine. That is why basically all job titles are masculine. Similarly all dimunutives are neuter. For nouns that are not derived from other words grammatically it appears basically random but there is still some structure like most nouns describing abstract concepts are feminine.

To calm you down a little bit what the numbers are for real. There are currently around 350,000 - 500,000 words existing in the German vocabulary in total. But to be fluent and understand quite everything from daily life 75,000 is the Standard German...the rest are mostly specific terms for things work related or from chemistry or science or whatnot. Things you also wouldn't know in English as much as most Germans also don't in German. So, don't worry, English has vastly more words than German. There is a very good video from Easy German about "der, die and das" the three articles used to describe male, female and neutre as much as plurals. Check it out. It will open your eyes...

the = der, die, das. German has three genders for words (male, female, neuter) , English only one. But with things you really have to learn the gender. the girl = das Mädchen here gender is even neutral and diminutive not female. old Engl. maid = die Maid (old German) here is it female. maiden name = Mädchen-name pencil = Bleistift; actually the word describes a pen with lead and not with graphite inside. I think the German words that are similar in English are easy for you: house = Haus , shoe = Schuh, hand = Hand, foot = Fuß, hound = Hund, fish = Fisch, (old Engl) swin = Schwein, is = ist, mother = Mutter, father = Vater, I = ich ... words with different meanings but same root: gift ≠ Gift, fee ≠ Vieh

I know you can find schwarzwälder schinken (black forrest ham) and german sweets there (even in the us). You could make a video going there and shopping and then trying the stuff at home. (also aldi is very cheap, atleast here in germany) There are a dozen of them inside and around. LA and all over the east coast.

You’re an entertainment genius 👍👍👍

3:29 it wants you know which one is right, it would be "die Blume"... Wow well done you're learning quick 😁👍

It was very entertaining to me to hear your pronunciation. So I don´t feel that dumb when I hear my english pronunciation 😂! Love your videos, cause you seem very likeable and I´m very interested in the differences between Germany and the US an how Americans think about Germany, german people and german things.

"Fahrrad" should be easy: "Fahr" from ferry, that thing that "goes or moves", and "-rad" like in "radius", the circle. Btw. in dutch it is "fiets".

The "Fahr-rad" is literally a "Drive-wheel" in German. That is, a wheel ("Rad" actually two of them - 'bi-cycle') that you can drive ("fahren", with your feet). btw in French it is called "velociped", which means "fast-foot". You can find that word also in some older German texts, as German took in lots of loanwords from French in the 18/19th century, before English became "en vogue".

@@silkwesir1444 Yes, you are probably thinking of a "flywheel": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flywheel It was just to demonstrate what a literal translation could look like. Fahr-rad ("riding wheel(s)") and Blei-stift ("lead pen") both are compound words. Just like Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaft … I also like the Dutch word for Motorcycles: Bromfietsen And in Danish they are called Motoknallert.

The crazy thing about the articles (der, masculine, die, feminine, das, neuter) is that in Romance languages, which only know masculine and feminine, it's often the other way around. The sun, die Sonne (feminine), le soleil (masculine), the moon, der Mond (masculine), la lune (feminine). And because there is no logical rule, you just have to learn everything. But usually you can speak a language to some extent if you know 2500 words that are used the most.

There are rules for which article belongs to which word Often based on the word ending e.g. all words with the suffixes -falt -heit -keit -schaft -ung and some more are using "die" die kameradschaft, die heiterkeit, die zeitung, every plural noun is using "die" Or every name of months, weekdays, car brands etc. are "der" der januar, der mittwoch, der mercedes Every diminutive (verniedlichung) is using "das" das köpfchen, das händchen There are many more rules Still hard tho and much learning but you just need to learn the rules and the few exceptions e.g. alcoholic beverages alway use "der" der Wein, der Whiskey, der Jägermeister, der Vodka and so on but not beer "das Bier"

For Insel, you have words like "insular" and "peninsula" to help.

That was fun, thank you :) ...When ''she'' said *KERZE* (in that intense Kölsch-Rheinland dialect) ... laughed my a. off :D Love your videos bro. Keep on !! Liebe Grüße aus der Pfalz (not Rhineland. Just Palatine)

Many wrote this, but no one said this: In English there is not only "the", you also have "he, she, it". The standard in English is easier, because "he" and "she" mostly belongs to humans or specifically female or male animals. You should say "The hen, she is...", but you are saying "it", but when you know the female dog, you will say "she". English had this in former times, too. But now, you have to learn the sexus. Vor persons it's mostly logical, even with the wrong example of "das Mädchen" (the girl, neuter), because this is es diminutive (-chen or -lein), which is always "das". But most things have no logic: Horse - das Pferd Dog - der Hund Cat - die Katze But then you have the logical specification like the mentioned hen: Chicken - das Huhn (basic form, most Germans would say Huhn equal to Henne, die Henne - the hen), but rooster or c*ck - der Hahn. So in this case there is logic. But why "der Tisch, das Buch, der Berg, die Insel, das Haus", there is no reason to see.

der, die and das are definite articles. In English you have ‚the‘ and in german we have three for feminine nouns:die , for musculin nouns: der, for neuter nouns:das.

I love your content

Its Repeating.And Visual.And Auditive.This game is good.

Der: male Die: female Das: object But a lot of objects are male/female so you have to look at the ending. And for some reason it's "das mädchen" (the girl)

for pronounciation: i noticed that you tried to silent the e as last letter. This isnt a thing in German. there is no silent e (except for some words we got from french). the most common silent letter in German is h, which is used to make a vowel (including Umlauts) longer: Wahn, Ehre, Lehrer, Uhr, Sohle, fühlen, Höhle, Ähre however if you have an i as vowel, the long form is an ie: Ziege, Fliege, Gebiet. So also on Porsche the e is pronounced.

We could form a tandem, I miss speaking English.

Some words are pretty easy to you, because they are similar or pretty close to the English words, isle and Insel 🏝, house and Haus, automobile and Auto. Bed and Bett. Buch and book, bridge and Brücke.

In English, its Germanic roots show in the words that are closest to our traditional everyday life - but 80% of an op-ed in Washington Post sure is a pidgin form of Latin borrowed via French. So when you've learned some few hundred words you'll already notice that there is a little regularity in how German and English connect. Like Schwester - sister, Morgen - morning, Land - land, Brot - bread, Licht - light, Wasser - water ....or come up with some random association as a segway: Fluss -> flood -> river, Hund -> hound - dog, fahren -> farewell -> travel, kennen -> ken -> know. Don't feel embarrassed by using humor in language learning, all fast learners do. An other good method besides learning the German Alphabet (which is much more logical than the American): do learn the 20, 50 100 most frequent words used in German. Here is one possible source: (search for the website the german professor if the link is not accepted by youtube) www.thegermanprofessor.com/top-500-german-words/ Learn songs by heart, so that the words come embedded in a context. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hml1k9SMYLKxeKg.html All the best wishes!

maybe you can react to a video bout the "Hansapark" it is a theme park in north Germany that holds 2 world and 3 European records.

The difference between das, die and der: it just means "the". In german the article depends on the gender. "Die Insel" is female, "der" is used for male words and "das" for neutral words. there is no rule about why a word has which gender, so it is just something you have to learn. I think that's why they put the article in the quiz.

That was fun!

Well done 🎉

Some pedants might pipe up and say "NOOOOO, it means heavy language. YOU SHOULD NOT SAY HEAVY ("schwer") WHEN YOU MEAN DIFFICULT ("schwierig"." ... only problem for them: it's a lost cause. pretty much everyone uses schwer to also mean difficult. So, to satisfy such pedants, you'd have to say "Deutsche Sprache, schwierige Sprache"... doesn't roll off the tongue quite as nicely though.

der die das... yeah even us ppl in germany struggle with that still. you just have to know which article belongs to what word. but when it comes to for example gender connected stuff like die (feminine) muter (= mother) and der (masculine) vater (= father) it makes sense. das is neutral which is usually only used for objects.. since they're just things. but there are so many random exceptions as you probably noticed. "die" (feminine) Insel (the island) which is an object or die Brücke (= die bridge).. also a thing. der baum = the tree. there are even dicussions involving what article belongs to certain words which is funny. for example Nutella. Personally, I say die Nutella (just sounds right to me) but others also say das or der Nutella.. I will let das Nutella slide but der Nutella shouldn't even be in the discussion.

Could you react to a video about hamburg? :D

The Germanic languages are a branch of the Indo-European language family spoken natively by a population of about 515 million people[nb 1] mainly in Europe, North America, Oceania and Southern Africa. The most widely spoken Germanic language, English, is also the world's most widely spoken language with an estimated 2 billion speakers. All Germanic languages are derived from Proto-Germanic, spoken in Iron Age Scandinavia. That could be the reason why you belive you can learn German so quickly.
