Kein vs Nicht | The difference and rules explained! | YourGermanTeacher

Kein vs Nicht? A question that often comes up. When to use kein and when to use nicht? What's the difference and are there any rules?
For all those question you will get an answer in this video. Negation in German. Generally speaking you can just use kein if you have a noun and nicht if you have an adjective or a verb. In many cases you will get it right, but unfortunately there are some more rules. There are not too many that's why I made this video to teach you all the existing rules there are in German grammar about this topic: kein oder nicht. When you have to use kein? When you have to use nicht? Find the answer in this video.

happy to hear that and thank you. see you soon... 😊👍👍🙏

[@abigail3383]

I love this channel.. as someone learning German you make it understandable in a way of explaining and I have several moments where it clicks. Definitely gonna follow your lessons. Some people explain in a way that is harder to understand, quite often they don't give examples, because when someone says 'definite article' and all that, I think wtf is a 'definite article' or 'dative' etc.. so long since I was at school and I can't even remember learning this in English.. all I remember is noun, adjective and verb lol.

[@itsonlymel7594]

[@nguyenthianhnguyet529]

Thank you so much for your videos. It helps me a lot. I learn so much from your channel. I really appreciate 🙏 However I just confused a little bit . I watched a video about position of “nicht “ and you said “ nicht “ precedes what it negates. At @7:55 ”nicht” negates “Morgen “ but why “ nicht “ did not precedes “Morgen “ ? Follow that rule, I understand that “ Nicht “ negates “ zu Hause “ instead of “ Morgen “. I hope you can read my comment and give me your explanation. 🙏

[@撒哈拉的芭蕉扇]

Thank u so much! I was quite confused by "kein" and "nicht". To me, "nicht" was easier to understand but didn't understand why and where to use "Kein" at times. After seeing your video, it is now much clearer to me and I applied your methold when doing the drills yesterday and today. Hurray, i got it correctly and know exactly why using which one. Vielen Dank!

[@yourgermanteacher]

💪💪😊👍

[@mardan5889]

I am confused 😅
Is there any specific rule which tell when you can put "nicht" in the middle of the sentence or at the end of a sentence?
And this is may be out of the context, but what are the rules regarding the adverb placement in the sentence ?
(This confuses me the most for the longest time)
My best guess for the question:
Ich trinke nicht gern Jaegermeister.

[@yourgermanteacher]

This video should help:
