English, eh? Learn German 5

Learn German with Davi

Hey there , welcome to another german podcast by English, eh?, and today we’ll be talking about places one can go to as well as some restaurant vocabulary. So let’s get started.

Wohin gehst du ? Where are you going to?

• Die Kirche – The church

• Der Supermarkt – The supermarket/ grocery store

• Das Krankenhaus – The hospital

• Das Ratthaus – The city hall

• Die Bank – The bank

• Der Park – The park

• Die Uni – The university

In German, when you wanna say that you are going to certain places you can use the preposition “zu” before the actual noun, but be careful, “zu” always requires dativ, therefore if the artikel begins with “der” or “das” you should say zu dem or zum, if the artikel is feminine “die” you say “zu der” or “zur” and if the noun is plural regarless the gender you always say “zu den”.

• Ich gehe zum Park. I go to the park.

• Ich gehe zur Schule . I go to school.

• Ich gehe zur Bank. I go to bank.

• Ich gehe zum Ratthaus. I go to the city hall.

• Ich gehe zu den Parks. I go to the parks.

Restaurant vocabulary:

Hallo guten Morgen! Ich hätte gerne die Speisekarte! – Hey good morning, I would like to have the menu.

- Ja, bitte, nur ein Moment! –Yes, sure, just a moment.

Was kostet es ? – How much is it?

- Es kostet 10 euro. It costs 10 euros.

Was isst du ? What do you eat?

• Das Brot – Ich esse das Brot - I eat the Bread.

• Das Fleish - Ich esse nicht fleish. I don’t eat meat.

• Der Apfel – Ich esse den Apfel. I eat the apple

• Die Orange – I esse gern Orange. I like to eat orange

• Die Banane – Ich esse die Banane. I eat the banana.

• Die Traube - Ich esse nicht die Trauben. – I don’t eat the grapes.

• Das Gemüse – Ich esse nicht Gemüse – I don’t eat vegetables.

• Das Eis – Ich esse gern Eis – I like to eat Ice cream.

Notice that here we changed the artikel der in the word Apfel to den Apfel. This is a case of Akkusativ.

The German accusative is used for the direct object of a sentence. The direct object is a person, animal or thing the action of the sentence is happening to, or being acted upon. The articles Das and Die remain the same however der becomes den. Don’t worry too much about this now, we’ll see this many times during this course.

Now listen to the sentences again, now only in German.

Das war’s für Heute. Ich hoffe dass es bei euch behilflich sein konnte. Tschüs.

That’s it for today, I hope this was helpful to you. Bye!!!
