    This is such a good idea about teaching what is ' Hofflich ' and 'Unhofflich' in Germany. This was just in a coffee shop but I think there is a great room for making such videos on every situation, for example in office, in home, in business.
    Can't thank you guys enough. Wish you well always!

    Für mich ist "Machste mir ´nen Kaffee?" bzw "Machen Se mir ´nen Kaffee?" immer positiv! Das sind die Kunden, die auf einer freundschaftlichen Basis mit mir umgehen möchten und eher zu Stammkunden werden, als alle anderen. Es ist für mich auch einfacher darauf einzugehen und Smalltalk zu beginnen. Für Menschen, die noch nicht so sicher deutsch sprechen, empfehle ich es allerdings nicht, denn ich würde im Dialekt drauf antworten ;)

    • @EasyGerman
      @EasyGerman  5 ปีที่แล้ว +61

      @@0martina00 It can translate as such: Ich möchte nach Berlin fahren = I would like to go to Berlin. So it's usually combined with another infinitive. However when it's solely combined with an object, it can sound slightly impolite. "Ich möchte gerne einen Kaffee." sounds a bit direct to me, but if you ask this, people probably won't react angry or anything. "Ich möchte gerne einen Kaffee bestellen." would sound better :)

    I work as a barista in the US. In my area, the Pacific Northwest, most people say “I’d like a (size) 12oz (drink) americano ( to go or for here ) to go please”
    A more formal /polite way would be “May I have 12oz americano to go please?” And if you’re a regular or more casual way would be “ I’ll have/ I’ll get a 12oz americano to go.” It might sound rude to me to say “One americano” or just “americano.” Even “ Americano please.” From my experience of working in the coffee industry, the best way to order is to always say the size, temperature request if not regular, the drink, any special requests, and if it is to go or for here and always say please or thank you. So if I wanted an iced 16oz vanilla latte with oat milk I would usually say something like“ Hey, I’d like a 16oz iced vanilla latte with oat milk to go. Thanks!” Anyways I wonder if any of this is the same in Germany?

    Es hängt auch davon ab, wie das Gespräch davor gelaufen ist.
    zB wenn ich das Gespräch anfange, würde ich "Guten Morgen, ich hätte gerne einen Kaffe" sagen. Aber es kann sein, dass es so geht:
    "Guten Morgen!"
    "Guten Morgen!"
    "Was hätten Sie gerne?"
    "Einen Kaffee, bitte."
    In diesem Fall hat der/die Kellner*in schon den halben Satz für mich ausgesprochen, also ich kann den Satz einfach fortsetzen, so zu sagen.

    Dies war wirklich überraschend für mich! Es hat mich überrascht, obwohl ich mehrere Jahre auf dem Universität Deutsch gelernt habe! Ich hatte gedacht, dass "ich möchte" auf Englisch "I would like" bedeutet, und dass die Verwendung des Konjunktivs so den Kommentar nicht so direkt und daher höflicher macht. Gegen 1:40 Minuten im Video, als "ich möchte" als Äquivalent zu "I want" auf Englisch übersetzt wurde, hätte ich gedacht, dass "I want" auf Deutsch "Ich will" sein würde, was für mich sicherlich unhöflich klingt. Vielleicht, obwohl "ich möchte" Konjunktiv ist, ist es nicht ganz indirekt genug und es muss noch indirekter sein, indem man "ich hätte" sagt? Gibt es andere soziale Situationen wie diese, in denen ein englischer Muttersprachler denken würde, dass "ich möchte" höflich ist, aber in Wirklichkeit nicht für ein deutsches Ohr ist?

  • @petrasquietcorner
    @petrasquietcorner 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Schönes Video!!
    Also, I didn't expect Berlin folks to be more polite than us people from the Ruhrgebiet XP Here, it's fairly common to say, "Einen Kaffe, bitte", or "Ich nehme...", and it's not considered rude. But the good old, "Ich hätte gern...", is definitely the safe way to go.
    Also, I wouldn't say, "Ich möchte...", is rude per se. It's subjunctive and automatically a nicer version of, "Ich will...", but it sounds awkward in this context.

    • @fremejoker
      @fremejoker 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The problem is that they are implying or saying indirectly that it is a matter of the language. It's actually not about language, but of manners and/or regional differencies. If you say only "Ich möchte einen Kaffee." and nothing else, it can sound impolite, but it's not about the actual phrasing rather than the behaviour of being laconic.

I would hate to put so much effort into learning the language to then sound rude - that would be my worst nightmare! 😂

    when i went to germany i ordered food with ‘ich möchte’ the whole time!! i didn’t know it was impolite as that is what i was taught at school

      As a non-native in German, before this video I had thought that yeah, 'ich möchte...' was the phrase to use and I think I saw it in some German books too...

  • @cc8722

    Wow, das wusste Ich nicht! I’ve always been taught “Ich möchte gern…“ ist höflich. At college, even Berlitz and Pimsleur! Is it a regional thing?
    That’s why I never had the confidence to speak once on the ground, not knowing for sure if that’s actually what people say in real life. I suppose allowing myself to look like a fool is part of the deal of learning a foreign language. 😅
    Your videos are making up the missing puzzle - practical real life situation. Danke!

    I would like to give some advice for everyone who wants to speak oreing languge .First , try to acquire the language rather tahn learn it ,(acquisition takes place in naturalistic setting like the similar process of the baby .He acquire his first language through listening to his parent talking to him using chunks of phrases and sentences with repetition .
    1- Listen to comprehensive sentences and phrases , do not learn words by itself
    2-You must listen every day
    3_repetition is every thing . you must listene and imitate (shadow) what the speakers say in the dialogues or podcast that you have selected
    4-The brain of the human body starts picking up full sentences and phrases and understand the grammatical structure of those sentences after repetition (33 times sientifcally )
    5- For those who finde difficlut to understand the the meaning use the subtitels either in
    english or in your mother tongue
    6Not : I have acquired the English langauge with using this technique just in short period of time , and i have acquired some french sentences that enabel me to speake and interact easily just in 15 days , and im going to use it to acquire the german language .here is one study that support my explanation (.PAUL, a 5 years old Taiwanese studied by HATCH and HUNG (1978) suggesting that through imitation of what he was hearing at his English nursery school .PAUL was producing chunked phrases (e.g get out of here ! it is time to eat and drink).

    I’ve heard some passive remarks about English speakers when ordering a coffee and, so I thought I’d explain.
    In English, particularly the Australian English dialect, not American English unfortunately because they have created their own English vernacular and even their own dictionary and refute formality and control (their history).
    We use the modal verbs “Would, Could, Should, Must, and May” quite a lot, and when placed before or after a verb, usually while directing a conversation to someone one does not know at all, or to someone who is more superior than oneself, or by someone who wants to express distance e.g. by a judge to express distance when speaking to the accused. The sentence/speech structure is changed in this way and then forms Formal English. This is why English speakers use this tone when ordering food in a foreign country and the Germans just laugh at us… because they need a differentiated “you” to understand why coffee is asked in such a way. If one listens to the real play of Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet on TH-cam, then they can understand that no German can comprehend it. It was how people actually spoke several hundred years ago in England, but without the emphasised poetic ring to it for artistic effects.
    In Australia, to order a coffee with respectfully and politely, one says “could I please have a flat white OR I would like a flat white please”. Hence why English speakers translate this exactly as ˋIch möchte eine cafe bitte”
    Here, one doesn’t use this sentence structure with people that they know well, unless talking about something they have done in the past e.g “I could have, but I didn’t” which is not formal. It depends on how the word is used. The use of the historic informal English “you” - Thou, is no longer used, as well as it’s conjunctions, where -st OR -est OR -th were added on to the end of the verb e.g. thou singest, thou taketh, thou jumpest etc. Historically, ‘You’ in its current form was used with everyone one that one did not know but now is used with everyone. In the Australian English dialect, modal verbs are still used to form distinctively Formal sentence structure and is definitely seen, heard, read and spoken in courts, in written correspondence /mail (not subscriptions, clubs etc), at private schools, and so on, but are always omitted when using the informal tone. The formal tone when heard sounds very suggestive. When speaking with the formal tone, it sounds as though one is not telling another person to do or not do something but is rather suggesting it, hence why it is distinctively the the polite form and recognised when heard. It is the leftover from the formal You prior to loosing “Thou”.
    “I would like a” (formal tone)
    “Give/get me a” (informal tone)
    “Could you” OR “May you / May I” -Doctor could you please tell me if my blood test results were ok? (Formal tone)
    “Can you” - Can you check my mailbox for me Sally on your way through? (informal tone)
    “Should you require” (formal tone) there is no informal word for should, but is replaced with “if” in the informal contexts.
    “If you need” -If you need a jumper to borrow let me know Jimmy, it’s cold outside (informal tone)

      "In English, particularly the Australian English dialect, not American English unfortunately because they have created their own English vernacular and even their own dictionary and refute formality and control (their history)."
      I wonder if there might not be similar differences between Berlin and more southern parts of the German-speaking world?
      In America, it seems to be quite acceptable to say "I want a coffee" or "I'll have a latte", even without using the word, please; and it is quite common. In most other English-speaking countries, it would be considered quite rude.

    First of all thank you guys for this really cool content, it really shows some aspects of the language you can’t really see in books or in exercises, keep ‘em coming :)
    I have one question tho about the phrase “Ich möchte”. When my teacher introduced me to this, I got a feeling like it it was similar to “I would like to have” in English, and my teacher approved it. I was sure it was nice way to say whatever you wanted in Deutsche Sprache. Aber, in video it looks like Cari says it otherwise. Can you explain more about it, I really want to know when you guys use it, in what kind of sentences.

    • @fremejoker
      @fremejoker 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      It's actually not that important, what you say, but how you say it and how your behaviour is. Even a sentence structure that is usually used to be polite, can be uttered impolitely. The video is misleading, because it focusses too much on sentence structure, while politeness is not really a matter of language rather than of behaviour and intonation.

    Sehr toll, nur habe ich eine Bemerkung, die Dame sagte, wenn man ich möchte sagt dann es ist falsch, weil es unhöflich ist, aber gibt es noch eine sehr wichtige Sache dazu, dass Verb möchte ein Hilfsverb ist und es ist grammatikalisch falsch zu sagen ohne ein Grundverb im Satz. 🌷

    Manchmal ist das "Ich hätte gerne einen Kaffee" sogar unhöflich in Berlin, wenn das Café voll ist. Zumindest hatte ich das Gefühl, dass es besser wäre, einfach mit wenigen Worten zu bestellen, damit alles schneller gehen könnte. Also vielleicht kommt es dann auf die Situation an.

    I am not sure of the words, "I would like to have a coffee please", if this sound impolite.
    In India, if you use same words it can be felt as polite or impolite at the same time, coz what matter is the way you say these, and the expression you make while saying this. I guess tone also matters sometimes, In India it matters a lot. not sure about Germany.

  • @derekarmstrong1408
    @derekarmstrong1408 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for another eye opening tip! I am pretty sure that we were taught in HS German class to order by saying, "Ich möchte eine Tasse Kaffee, bitte."
    Now I feel like I have been unintentionally rude numerous times on my trips to Germany. Will have to adjust my dialogue in the future!

    • @mkine
      @mkine 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      „Ich möchte eine Tasse Kaffee bitte“ is totally fine.
      It makes no difference (in my opinion) if you say „bitte“ after „möchte“ or at the end of the sentence.

    Ich erinnere mich einmal in München ich versuchte mir heiße Schokolade zu bestellen. Natürlich, ich hab's auf Deutsch bestellt.
    Ich stehe vor der Kasse, und sage "heiße Schokolade, bitte", und der junge fragt "mit Sahne?". Ich frage "wie bitte?". Er wiederholt "mit Sahne?". Ich hatte keine Ahnung wovon sprach er. "Noch ein mal, bitte?" Dann eine Frau kommt her und sagt mir laut ins Gesicht "MIT SAHNE?"
    Und dann ich sage lächerlich "Maybe in English please?". Die Frau schaut mich mal an, under fragte "With cream??".
    So man Deutsch lernt, xD. Jetzt, Ich vergesse nie was die Sahne bedeutet. ^^"
    Der Junge kam aus Kolumbien. Danach, wir haben uns unterhalten. Er hat bloß 6 Monaten vorher nach Deutschland umgezogen.
