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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
It is actually very easy to learn you just need to learn präteritum before perfekt because in this video they are talking about schwache and strake verb and for any body wondering i will tell you the difference. So in schwache verbs it has the normal te added in präteritum and in perfekt you just need to add ge to the front and t to the back of the verb. For Example Präteritum: ich Kaufe = ich kaufte Perfekt: ich kaufe = ich habe gekauft And for the starke verbs just the vowels change for example E = i So gehen is ging Hope that helps
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.
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.
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
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?
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?
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!😊
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.
Should be normal considering English also has these unique past tense which most of the time you add ed at the end but in some cases theres no rule,You just have to memorize
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.
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.
this is perfect (tense) though. basically the past participle equivalent. machen -> machte -> gemacht same with bieten simple past is bot, past part is geboten. Ich biete mit (present) Ich bot mit (simple past) Ich habe mitgeboten (present perfect) ich hatte mitgeboten (past perfect)
The last ist wrong. Gefallen is a Word with 3 Meaning 1. Is not a Verb we describe a occupation. If we did something that sameone like. 2. Is the past Form of fall. Is fell 3. Is the bare Form of a speziell Version from the Word like. In English not exist a exalexactly translation.
I so love the fact, how u cannot avoid German words even when writing in English. I do this all the time with German. I write "and" instead of und , "is" instead of ist. 😅
for filipino, we just add nag-, no exceptions for present, we add nag- and repeat the first syllable of the verb for future, we add mag- and repeat the first syllable of the verb i love filipino
to form the past participle of a verb in german it's pretty easy if you know that there are so called "strong" and "weak" verbs. "Weak" verbs usually just use the 3rd person's singular form of a verb take for example "lacht" (he laughs) and add the "GE" -> "gelacht". For the strong verbs the +GE remains but the ending is on "en" like the infinite form and the "Wortstamm" also sometimes changes a vowel like for example "wiegen" (to weigh) which becomes "GEwOgEN, gewogen" as in "Ich habe mich gewogen" (in this case used as a reflexive verb). Just get used to the thought that there are strong and weak verbs, i think it should help.
I Hope you know it’s not the simple. Machen is machte in the imperfect form and gemacht in the perfect, but it is replaced with conjugated form of haben and kicked to the end, unless it uses sein as it’s helping verb, in which case ist is added before the perfekt to show this. Machen/machte/ gemacht uses haben, laufen/ lief/ ist gelaufen uses sein
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.
Sorry, little Grammer nerd here. Machen + Ge would be Gemachen and gefallen is already past tense and it's the only form that is regular here :D funny video but there are way worse examples :D
In all seriousness German is actually more difficult to learn than most people realise A lot of people say it’s easy but coming from someone who’s learning the language it’s actually not
German vowel changes aren’t that unfamiliar to English speakers. English “sing-sang-sung” corresponds pretty closely with German “singen-sang-gesungen”, for example.
German is the easiest language to learn for English speakers. It’s literally identical. English is a Germanic language. Apfel (Apple) Eis (Ice, ice cream) Finger (Finger) Gast (Guest) Glas (Glass) Haar (Hair) Juwel (Jewel) Knie (Knee) Kuh (Cow) Lernen (To learn) Mutter (Mother) Neu (New) Oft (Often) Preis (Prize) Sehen (To see) Schule (School) Schulter (Shoulder) Sohn (Son) Trinken (To drink) Vater (Father) Wasser (Water)
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. ;)))
I am sorry, but this is not past tense! This is past perfect, it does not work without an auxiliary verb! Past perfect of "machen" would be "habe gemacht". Simple past would be "machte". (first person singular)
Gefallen = "Der Gefallen" = "The favor" gefallen = "Die Blumen gefallen mir" = I like the flowers" past tense would be Die Schnittblumen, die du mir letzte Woche mitgebracht hast, gefielen mir. Zac the teacher tricked the student Zac here. if he had written Fallen (consistent with WRONG capital letter as in Machen but actually wanted to show him "Tu-Wörter" Letzte Woche ist er in das Loch gefallen. Last week he fell into the pit.

As a Dutch person this is probably the most confusing part of these languages
to form the past participle of a verb in german it's pretty easy if you know that there are so called "strong" and "weak" verbs. "Weak" verbs usually just use the 3rd person's singular form of a verb take for example "lacht" (he laughs) and add the "GE" -> "gelacht".

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. ;)))
Not native speaker here but i just feel like english much more make sense than any other language.
You are right because the English language sounds more simplified.
Completely wrong, spelling and pronunciation don't make sense at all to foreigners 🤣
one doesnt LEARN german, one MEMORIZES it.
I've studied German A2 for three years 😅😂😂
I am sorry, but this is not past tense! This is past perfect, it does not work without an auxiliary verb!
Past perfect of "machen" would be "habe gemacht".
Simple past would be "machte".
(first person singular)
Okay I think I will just forget about this language study!
"gemacht" is NOT the past tense, but the past participle!
My sutition right now😂😑
Gefallen = "Der Gefallen" = "The favor"
gefallen = "Die Blumen gefallen mir" = I like the flowers" past tense would be Die Schnittblumen, die du mir letzte Woche mitgebracht hast, gefielen mir.
Zac the teacher tricked the student Zac here.
if he had written Fallen (consistent with WRONG capital letter as in Machen but actually wanted to show him "Tu-Wörter"
Letzte Woche ist er in das Loch gefallen. Last week he fell into the pit.
gefallen is either past tense of fallen or infinitive of gefallen or a noun named Der Gefallen
