names that end in "ß"? Actual cases of it - Whether or not the orthography was changed - historical figures might retain their names as-is...I think he is still "Gauß" in German, since that isn't a word with a meaning, and the proper name of the composer "StrauB" for example, is probably left that way, since he is a person whose last name was spelled that way *at the time* and is not actually a bird. Any German with surname "Heß" (i.e. someone who is NOT SWISS with the name) comes to mind Obviously we could invent the name of a character in a movie or book with a word still ending in "ß" e.g. "Herr Spaß," for example, and so on...
@@MrLAntrim BTW thx for your great work for German-learning. Your choice of material is colorful (comedic even), and quite entertaining. I never got to benefit from your teaching as a beginner and at this point am somewhere in the B2 / B2+, but after stumbling on your channel I am watching the videos (particularly the B-level) for fun because the situations you put together in them really are quite creative and funny!

Thank you so much. This lesson is incredibly informative, and helped me greatly
I don’t know if I’m forgetting but why does it say “hatte ich” and not “Ich hatte”? 4:22

The verb continues to be at the second position. The first part in this case is in a way the Subject.
Oh dear, us it really worth me learning German. It seems SO complicated! How do German children ever learn their language?
