There are some more: - erfassen (like begreifen, but more technically) - dahinterkommen (coming behind a mystery, finally understanding something) - beherrschen (to rule, but also to fully understand something, like an expert who fully understands his discipline) - innewerden (to internalise, fully grasp and absorb something) - gewahr werden (realise something you haven't realised before)

Your videos are so fun to watch. The one where you explained "doch" Made it so much easier to begreife. Love your stuff. Keep it coming!

Thank you for the wonderful video. In my language the analoge for begreifen (begryp) is very archaic, so I have never used it in German. Thank you for putting me straight. The kind of information you impart is priceless to a foreign language learner.

I went to Illinois Wesleyan University. The professor in my section left the college so for my second semester of German I had to have an instructor that was a Russian exile who lived in Germany before immigrating to the United States. This was in the 1990s and I have been told many times my German is painful to listen to and to not speak until I lose the heavy Russian accent when I speak German. I am so glad to have found your KZread channel to listen and try to speak German without a Russian accent. Thank you Trixie!!!

When I was a beginner, I found the content of trixi's videos entertaining but not so useful, as there is no way I can memorize all these synonyms while I am struggling to remember only one. But now that that I am in the middle of B1, I gotta say I changed my mind. I will indeed remember and use these terms.

Before book bags or backpacks or especially amongst the poor people carry books with a belt to hold together the books while carrying them. Hence the strap and buckle.

funny and informative. thank you for making this video

Ohhh! On the difference between verstanden & begreifen: I find it super interesting that in Dutch, the usual word for "understand" is begrijpen (eg "I don't understand you" - "Ik begrijp je niet"), whereas verstaan means "understand" more in the sense of "to hear clearly" (on a noisy street, you might say "Ik kan je niet verstaan"). Such emotional, passionate people, those Dutchies! 😄🧡

Thank you, you chose the perfect time for this video. I mean yesterday in the evening DHL delivered a package for me. I wasn't home so they gave it to a neighbour and didn't leave any note for me. So basically in an hour or so I'm going to have to visit everybody who lives in my house and ask her/him if she/he got my package yesterday. And yes, ich f***ing begreife das nicht!

Mal wieder klasse☺. Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass die Videos mehr Arbeit machen als man vielleicht denkt. 1000 Schnitte, teilweise unter 1 Sekunde und manchmal fast genial☺. Man muss die Kleine einfach lieben und das wäre auch so, wenn man sie nur von den Schultern aufwärts sieht! P.S.-- Die Bezeichnung "Kleine", bzw. "Kleines", von einem Mann für/an eine Frau ist IMMER positiv (gemeint). Nie abwertend ! Also....Peace...und weiter so 👌👍

Awesome video. Love it :)

Als ich den Deutschkurs besuchte, sagte ich immer „ich verstehe nicht oder ich höre nicht“ weil Hörverstehen meine Schwäche war. Ich habe immer zu hören konzentriert, was meine Lehrerin sagte. Außerdem wollte sie meine Antwort sofort kennen. Deshalb äußerte ich schnell „ich verstehe nicht“ aber sie hat sich immer gegen mich geärgert. Sie dachte, ich war abgelenkt. Nein ich meinte, sie sprach schnell, daher „ich konnte nicht genau verstehen oder konnte nicht richtig hören“ dazu sagte ich gerne „vielleicht“. Meine Muttersprache, japanisch, benutzt oft „vielleicht“. Aber meine Bedeutung war „wahrscheinlich „. Ich habe den Wort nicht in der Zeit gekannt. Es gab immer Missverständnis mit den Deutschen. Aber Deutsch ist interessante Sprache. Wenn Trixi meine Lehrerin wäre, könnte ich noch mit Spaß Deutsch lernen.

Das Problem mit dem Hörverstehen kenne ich auch. Meine Muttersprache ist Deutsch. Trotzdem sprachen einige Lehrer unverständlich. Vielleicht durch einen Akzent oder sie waren zu schnell. Manche Lehrer wurden wütend, wenn man mit "ich habe Sie nicht verstanden" antwortet, obwohl es nur ein akustisches Problem war und nichts mit begreifen zu tun hatte. Meine Erfahrung: Antworte ausführlicher. "Ich konnte Sie *akustisch* nicht verstehen." Und bitte dann um eine Wiederholung. "Können Sie das bitte wiederholen?" So sollten die Lehrer beruhigt sein. Viel Erfolg beim Deutsch lernen! ( Japanisch ist auch eine sehr schöne Sprache ^_^ )

Bei uns in der Schweiz (oder nur im Bezirk Fribourg, bin nicht genau sicher) gibt es ein bestimmtes Wort, das wir jüngeren, wie auch die älteren, brauchen. Das Wort nennt sich „Pucken“, gesprochen als „Pöcken“. in einem Sätz wäre das „I puckes nid.“. Ich benutze das sehr oft wie auch meine Eltern und meine Grossmutter benutzt es auch. Es ist zwar sehr unhöflich, wird aber auch öfters (von mir) in der Schule gebraucht. Es ist mittlerweile auch ein Bestandteil meiner alltäglichen Sprache, weswegen ich es auch nicht mehr raus bekomme :D Aber sehr informatives Video für die, die Deutsch lernen! Finde ich super!

Thanks again, Trix! Haha, am I the first person to draw the connection between your name (well, if I may call you "Trix") and the ancient and popular American cereal "Trix"? The character used to portray the Trix cereal is a RABBIT. The Trix rabbit. As the commercial goes: "Silly rabbit--Trix are for kids!". Cool coincidence, but this was not the real reason for me making a comment, but it came up anyway. I was going to give you a well-meant tip for sounding more American. When you say the word "understand", you tend (in that German way) to put a hard "D" at the end, like a "T". Instead, try to make a softer "D" by making a little puff of air after you end with the "D" sound. Not "understan-da", but "understan-d". Easy for Americans, but hard to explain. I'm sure you're aware of this, but I thought I'd try to give you a little pointer on trying to sound a tiny bit more American on that word. Thanks and Alles Gute!

This was useful!

Excellent didactic content.

@5:39 I was gonna point out the irony that "educative" isn't a word, but It double-checked, and it is. Turns out the irony was that I was being ironic. Still, I pretty much only hear "educational" being used.

This is good stuff

I recently saw your videos on how you learned English and the concept that it should be fun came up, and now how to say I do not understand. I think one thing I did was to buy a book called Doppel-Konferenz which was a collection of scripts for a two person comedy act such as Abbott and Costello (if you do not know about them, KZread has one of their classics, Who's On First") What it forced me to do was figure out where the comedy was, puns, double entendres, wierd situations. Outside of operetta, it is the only sign that Germans have a sense of humor. Academic courses always seem to be dedicated to technical or "deep" philosophical concepts. Like Operetta, Mark Twain and PG Wodehouse heavily involved in regional accents and outdated terms, but still fun. If I were teaching today, I would use some of the Disc World novels of Terry Pratchett. Of course, all of these are represented by some videos, but Wodehouse was especially good with his descriptive comments. What works of humor or comedy, present or classical could you recommend? Of course, I expect to have to say nicht verstehe the first time through. Also I am ethnically Pennsylvania Dutch, though I think my grandfather was the last one in my family who grew up with the German dialect. There is also "Dutchified English' which is a no longer common, with phrases like It is making down for it is raining/snowing/sleeting, etc and outen the lights for turn out the lights. Have you ever looked at either of these dialects, the German or the English? The Dutch English accent as it existed in the 1950s kzread.info/dash/bejne/iICij8Vql8rapaQ.html Somewhat weaker accetnt but a bit of the German to.. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aHVq2qeufq_RZqw.html I did a little more looking and the guy in the second link teaches the Pennsylvania Dutch dialect of German, in which he is much more serious, but speaks without any trace of the English accent. And several other episodes ofthe ask a Dutchman have him going way over the top with the English accent and does not sound remotely like what I remember, which is the Professor Schnitel version.

Amazing! :D

A good way to help us.

"Kapieren" is like the italian verb to understand, "capire". I'm always amazed when languages so distinct have similar words.

@Moritz19081980

5 жыл бұрын

In this case it's because "kapieren" is slang and comes from the Latin word "capere". At first it was only used by students as a slang word but it became a very common word in daily use. There are a lot of words like this in German. Some come from Latin, some from English, some from French, some from Yiddish.. depending on the region. For example in Berlin there are some word with French origin because at some point in history French was the official language here.

In norwegian, in addition to ''forstå'' (which likely comes from ''verstehen''), we have ''begripe'' and ''peiling'', but we say ''har ikke peiling'' - ''have no idea''. Furthermore we have ''ane / anelse'' like ''Ahnung''; ''jeg aner ikke / jeg har ingen anelse''. We also have ''skjønne'', which is more a modern casual way like ''do you get it''.

Am Ende noch Altersdiskriminierung 🤣😅😂
