Is native English speakers SUCK at speaking English. I'm not lying, we suck at speaking. While anyone who has learned English as a second language, everything is the most beautiful. It's weird. But true.
Go and went used to be different verbs. Went used to be the past tense of the verb wend. Funnily enough, the real past tense of go used to be “yede” or “yode.” So not much better.
Yeah, in English class, we were given three pages of irregular verbs in different tenses and we had to learn them all. become-became-become begin-began-begun etc. English speakers have no room to talk.
@@RabdoInternetGuyThere is pronounced different, is not pronounce like their or they’re, and depending on the dialect they’re and their are pronounce differently.
Just read German a lot. Then it becomes much easier. If you can read the abc in German then you can read in German. Anything else comes more or less natural then. This way my child has taught itself German. A few rules added and you are in your way.
This is a phenomenon called ablaut, which is essentially the changing of vowels in a language. It's also common in English, being that German and English are in the same language family. Languages like French or Spanish are romance languages, where instead of changing the vowel, they would make alterations to the stem of the word by adding prefixes and suffixes, infusing tense, number, mood, and person
French and Spanish are Romance languages, which are in the Indo-European family, but so are all Germanic languages and many other languages in Europe and India (also Persian languages). I'm sure you knew this and is probably what you meant, but the way it was written made it sound like Germanic languages were not in the Indo-European language family.
To be honest the verbs in English also has some strange forms from time to time, especially hated those that don't change in anything but pronunciation, like "Read"
I literally wrote it 'raed' for years and was shocked this wasn't actually right. But then chemical element Pb is written 'lead' and 'sewed' is pronounced 'sowed' which is another word, just to not be conflated with 'sued' ('verklagt') and 'ough' has almost a dozen possible pronunciations (w/o touching dialects). 🤯 I just can't anymore with those English speakers arguing German makes no sense, but refusing to accept the mutuality. 😑
@@whohan779 I am neither a German , but do learn both, Imo German is more structurized and easier to understand, but the grammar is harder to "hold together" when you start speaking, things like putting the main verb in the end of the sentence, or keeping in mind that you have to put "an" in the end instead of just say "anmachen" , and don't start me speaking about articles, both has it flaw's, but for English people is harder to learn German since they don't have "dativ or akkusaativ" unlike slavic languages that do.
At least English has the excuse of being a mix of multiple languages. So there's a decent chance it's because we grabbed something from another language. Though all languages have things that make no sense.
@@TheAyanamiRei German does have excuse as well, basically every language except for Russian has an excuse. Cus Russian was literally ordered to be created by tsar to lomonosov which means it didn't had the same process of creation as most languages do.
How is that different from English? go, went, gone / give, gave, given / swim, swam, swum. They also dont make any sense because they are irregular. Its literally the easiest part of the language, especially that you will hear those every single day
Funny thing is, English past participles also had this feature. The “ge” prefix was also around in Old English. It unfortunately turned into “y” (pronounced like the letter e) and disappeared from the language entirely. If it still existed, “to clothe” would turn into “yclad,” “to freeze” would turn into “yfrozen,” and “to slap” would turn into “yslapped.”
late response but iirc that's where the 'ee' sound comes from in the word "handiwork" it's the past participle of work, not like some combination of 'handy' + 'work'
But at least we have an excuse since we steal a lot of words from other languages and tend to keep the original spelling and grammar rules. At least in America.
@@TheAyanamiReiAnd I think that’s silly. Why did people turn English into a language soup? Just keep your language pure like Germans. I undersand that there might be some foreign words but when majority of your vocabulary is foreign it really is troublesome.
@muhammedyusufkocaman because of contact, England wanted to be a world super power and they liked being more directly involved over others so their language took other words. Spanish did it with Arabic and Greek. The only "pure" language if we being honest is probably mandarin, even native american languages changed due to contact
@@ohitzwavy7173 The thing is English borrowed much more words from European languages than Asian or Middle Eastern languages which I think contradicts your statement in part.
Maybe I'm a freak of nature, but I've never had any difficulty learning German. It's ridiculously similar to English, so if you know one, you shouldn't really experience too much difficulty learning the other.
Drink -> drank -> drunk Hit -> hit -> hit Read -> read (but sounds different from first form) -> read (second form) Drive -> drove -> driven And general rule is to add -ed English has literally same things and you want to say it's not weird?
Yet, German is more consistent in it's rules than English for example. It has less exceptions and stuff. BUT it just lacks rules for some stuff, like genders of nouns. That's just... random
A hint: I we would have endings instead of articles you would simply learn : Mädchendas, right? But there is the article das and you are thinking about the sex of a Girl?! Just learn the articles as if they were endings! Problem solved!😊
Americans with their chaos language, finding some rather rare irregular verbs in German and making fun of them. 😂 (Rather rare compared to English, that is. Or worse: French. 😂)
This is part of why language learning is so hard for adults compared to children. We as adults try to figure out how things work and the rules of the language and try to speak the language before we know how. Children listen until they understand before they ever try to speak.
Stimmt nicht so ganz. Gefallen (Verb) wird zu fiel (von hinfallen) Er ist gestern auf die Straße gefallen. Letzte Woche fiel er auf die Straße. Ich bin so betrunken, ich werde bestimmt noch auf die Straße fallen. Also tu mir bitte den Gefallen und falle nicht auf die Straße. ;)))
Often i would like that in his video he would also show a solution or explain why things are like that. But usually its only: 1. confusion 2. end of video 3. Dissatisfaction on my side. Anyone else got the same issue?
It is pretty much the same with english walk-walked break-broke buy-bought eat-ate there are examples when some part of the original words still kept and then some that just completely changes
I feel he is misrepresenting it a bit. There are lots of verbs that are regular but just like in English there are irregular ones.* And people would normally just tell you when it’s irregular and not pretend there is a rule you just don’t understand. *A bit more than in English but still a manageable list.
Just from the top of my head I couldn't explain why while 'gehen' becomes 'gegangen', 'wehen' doesn't transform into 'gewangen', but it makes sense if you get the vibe of the language. Exceptions (to my perception) aren't much more common than in English, French or other languages from that rough region.
Lol, me here with Dutch XD I wanna learn German and till now it’s helping me but this is my first day learning German so I won’t go that far yet XD Fallen is vallen in Dutch and it would be Vallen->viel/vielen And that with past participle if I’m not wrong (onvoltooid deelwoord) would be Gevallen
It's convenient in Germanic languages that many verbs change vocals in the past tense and in the perfect participle. Even in English they are following the same rules as in German, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Icelandic! Most people do not know that there is a rule. Icelanders know it. I always had the feeling that there is one, when I guessed the present tense to look it up in the dictionary.
Actually, this is the really easy part. Most Germanic languages have this weak verb vs strong verb. In Dutch it's the same rule and you can find it English too (talk->talked but take>took). The only difficult part in German is learning the cases.
But when it's Break -> broken Or Drink -> drank -> drunk Or whatever English shit is there - you are fine with that, only when German does literally the same thing you get mad
Almost every language has these sort of problems! I must admit German is difficult, but I find the adjectival grammar the hardest to remember, like: Ich habe die alte Frau gesehen; Ich habe die alten Frauen gesehen, etc.
What I noticed was Germans Learn English at school for 12 + years still they struggle with the language however expect non German to speak Deutsch within couple of years 😂..
