@@leiselilaasmr Genitiv ist nicht schwer - außer man ist aus Bayern und kann deshalb kein vernünftiges Deutsch. Die Bayern sagen halt "wegen dem Regen" ...und es klappt einem die Hutkrempe hoch, denn es muß "wegen des Regens" heißens xD Wie für die anderen Fälle, gibt es auch für den 2. Fall bestimmte Beiwörter, die eindeutig anzeigen, daß es sich um einen Genitiv handelt. "Wegen" ist z.B. so etwas. Es heißt "deinetwegen" und nicht "wegen dir" etc. etc.
Little help for people that are confused with why it is "das" for "Mädchen" : Diminutives (which in German end with -chen or -lein) are always gender neutral in German. That is one of the very few rules there are to find the right article🙂
adding to this: diminuitives are grammatical (in german at least) suffixes which are used to make the thing sound small and often implies a degree of cuteness or affection. it's basically the difference between dog and doggy, or john and johnny, but they use it far more in german than we do in english so it doesnt sound quite as much like youre making a big deal out of it being little like it would in english. also, there are a few diminuitive suffixes in german that can be used with almost any noun, whereas in english there's no one way to do it for all nouns, the closest is often to just say "little" as in "see that little bag over there?" where you're not saying it w the same emphasis as you might if you said "you see that red bag over there?", but using the "little" more for softening than actual description. hope that helps anyone interested, just wantsd to clear that up because diminuitive in normal english kinda sounds like it's belittling the thing and maybe doesn't even imply it being small at all. in linguistics and language it means something fairly different so i wanted to he clear abt that, especially so nobody walks away w the idea that in german girls are diminuitive and nobody likes them and so theyre referred to as objects lmao
Ich studiere Grundschullehramt und mir wird bei diesem Video echt bewusst, wie anspruchsvoll unsere Sprache ist und wie schwierig es auch für anderssprachige Kinder sein muss, Deutsch zu lernen. 😨 Aber deine Videos sind sehr toll! Ich bekommen super viele Tingles 😍
Vielen dank für this video!! As I am learning German now I am definitely struggling on understanding the many words for 'the' I'm going to Germany in September and I was hoping to be able to carry on just some basic conversations and not sound like a complete buffoon so thank you for this video again!
Oh this video was kinda over the top. The truth is that Germans will understand you and not care even if u use the wrong “the” I still mix up my “the’s” and germans never correct me. Theyre use to foreigners using “das” for most everything 😄
It is not weird - German simply retained 3 grammatical genders from Proto-Indogermanic and that everything inflects. The tricky part is - as in all languages with this feature - that the articles are NOT equivalent to biological sex. It is "genus" (grammatical gender) not "sexus" (biological sex). So, a femininum does not mean female, a masculinum does not mean male. For example: Most plurals in German are feminina, even when a group of neutral or biologically male objects are described, e.g. "der Tisch" (the table) vs. "die Tische" (the tables), but table is a liveless thing, neither a male nor a female. There is no rule to the grammatical gender; you have to learn EVERY SINGLE SUBSTANTIVE with its article. That's how kids have to do it.
@@bobbwc7011 the fact you had to give a whole paragraph to explain it means it is complicated. i mean in english it's just "the" no matter what so comparitively it is complicated
@@gggghhhh1288 It is not complicated, it is complex. Two very different things. German - just as English - is part of the Germanic language group, and the Germanic language group - just as the Roman language group and the Slavic language group - is part of Indogermanic or Indoeuropean. Our languages share a lot of common but abstract features. In linguistics there are concepts such as grammatical gender (genus), casus, numerus etc. From an analytical point of view the difference between English and German is the way how genus, casus, numerus etc. are realized. And here, German is far more complex than English; in fact, even today's version of German is, grammatically, the most complex Indogermanic language that is still alive. Some languages might have things like e.g. more casus (Russian, Ukranian) but overall German is the final boss in Europe and in the Indogermanic language family. However, those concepts, causus, numerus, genus, tempus etc. should be learned at school and should be familiar to people. Also, you may wanna start reading Shakespeare. The English of his time was closer to Old German (Old German =O very similar to Old English) than to modern English, and you immediately see a rise in complexity. The reason German is more complex (not: more complicated!) has a lot to do with the drastic simplification English underwent, and which did not happen with German. In the contrary: German managed to conserve literally all its complexity from 1300 years ago, sometimes by the deeds of single people. Martin Luther translated the bible in a specific way which enriched the language and preserved the Genitiv (2nd casus). Example: In the South, for instance in Bavaria, the 2nd casus is almost extinct and Bavarianbs often speak incorrectly. Instead of saying "wegen des Regens" (Genitiv) they say "wegen dem Regen" (Dativ), which is wrong. Or they say "wegen mir" (Dativ), when the correct form is "meinetwegen" (Genitiv). Shifts and simplifactions like that have happened in English as well, but were kept unchallenged or just spread in an overwhelmingly manner from one region to all of England. That did not happen with German. To conclude: I agree that German grammar is very complex, but that is not the same as being complicated. It appears to be complicated to you because your teachings in school seem to have been superficial and lame; obviously nobody taught you grammar basics which is very sad.
It doesn't matter, if you mess up the grammar or the articles, it is more important that you understand the meaning of the words, what they express, what they are used for. Speaking isn't just communitcation. If you just want to communitcate, we should use binary code instead, but speaking is a form of art, it is way to express our feelings, ideas, the things we need. And I like the way you pronounce the words, it is so funny. 😅 PS: Btw words that are Diminuitive (endings: -chen or -lein) you use always "das". It is "das Mädchen/das Männchen/das Frauchen/das Jungchen" because of the ending "-chen" and the Genus is a grammtical sex and is not refering to the actual sex.
The fact that "Mädchen" (girl) has the article "das" can indeed seem rather confusing, as it should obviously be feminine. But, you have to take into account that the suffix "chen" is used to sorta "belittle" a word to make a smaller/cuter version of it. And for some reason this causes the article to switch to "das". For example: "Der Apfel" (the apple, which is masculine in german) "Das Äpfelchen" (you probably wouldn't say this commonly, but this means "comically small apple" and for some reason is neutral again) Another one: "Der Hase" (the hare) "Das Häschen" (the small bunny) "Die Schleife" (the bow/loop) "Das Schleifchen" (the small bow)
When i looked the video i remembered my first 2 years in groundschool learning this and then i noticed, that you missed completely the genitive form (it would be: des (masculine), der (feminine) des (neutral) der (plural))
DAS Rindfleischettiketierungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetzt, is a actual word (with the right article) in german. So I understand why others have problems with german 😂

As someone who grew up in germany, i just realized how fked up the language actually is😂 I never realized how stupid is sounds if you don't know german. I mean "The Girl" is "Das Mädchen" and "The Girls" is "Die Mädchen" but you can also say "The dress of the girls" which will be "Das Kleid *Der* *Mädchen* " and im just glad i don't have to think about this because i confuse myself just by explaining this 😂
It isn't fucked up, thats how you use the casus, there is also a numerus and a genus. The genus is a grammatical sex, it hasn't anything to do with the real sex. And the plural form is always "die". There are specific rules for every article, so from a logical point of view it is complicated but there is nothing which makes not sense.
@@GI_D204 Reading the comments here just shows how bad German is tought as a subject in many schools. I am from the former East Germany, and "Muttersprachunterricht" there was VERY logical and as sharp as Gymnasium-level Latin. The priorities in East Germany and the Eastern Bundesländer were reading, writing, grammar, oral and written expression, spelling, and only after all of this it was literature, hence the name "Deutsche Sprache und Literatur". When I have to read here how many Germans almost brag that they are too stupid to understand grammatical genders, casus, numerus etc. I am ashamed. These people should be beaten over the head until they develop a better relationship with their mother tongue.
Nein, die Stammform ist "die Maid". And there are no rules in German for the distribution of the grammatical genders. It is arbitrary because grammatical genders are in no way related with biological sexes.
As a German I am so thankful I didn't have to actively study these articles 🤭
