Question Wie nennt man im Deutschen Wörter, die gleich geschrieben und gesprochen werden aber unterschiedliche Artikel und Bedeutung haben?

58 Upvotes

Beispiele:
Der See
Die See

Der Kiefer
Die Kiefer

Der Leiter
Die Leiter

Wie nennt man grammatikalisch den Fachbegriff dafür?

Und gibt es auch solche Wörter für 3 Artikel? Das einzige was mir eingefallen ist:

Der Band
Die Band
Das Band

Wobei man hier "die Band" ja anders ausspricht und nur die Schreibweise gleich ist also zählt das vermutlich nicht.

Question Why is it ist instead of hat?

4 Upvotes

I’m slowly learning German and I just learned “she fell/she fell down” but the app I’m using taught me it as “Sie ist hingefallen”

I’m not understanding why it’s using ist instead of hat for she has fallen?

Discussion Funny memorable German word (for me)

4 Upvotes

I am just curious, do you guys have any made up german word(s) that made sense to you but actually doesn’t exist?

I had a small Vokabeln practice with my German Teacher and I always Translate Connection to Konnekterien. Why ? I don’t know! Although now I know its Verbindung but my German Teacher at that time was really confused why I kept using this non-existent word in all our classes.

I just need a little laugh while learning this language because I still need my sanity 😭

Request App for fast case spotting?

2 Upvotes

i’m trying to learn declension and my issue is not as much learning by them heart, but more about spotting rapidly what the case is.

Is there like an app that shows you a sentence and asks you the role (case) of random words in that sentence so I can get better at it?

thanks

Request Books and shows

• Upvotes

Hello,

I am learning German primarily through self-study and I have been trying to step up my efforts but have trouble with motivation sometimes. I’ve been wanting to incorporate it into my leisure time more and I like to read but I don‘t want to read books for small children. It might be too much for me at my current level but something around B1 or maybe even B2 level if books are even categorized in this way? I think reading something above my level would be good for growth if I study the vocabulary in it enough to understand the plot. Any recommendations on books or resources for finding books like this?

Also are there any free websites where I can watch shows in german with german subtitles? I figured that would be a good way to help with listening.

Any relevant resources are appreciated. Thanks a bunch

Resource Kostenlose Claude KI, die Ihre falsch beantworteten Fragen löst

• Upvotes

Hallo zusammen! Bei der Prüfungsvorbereitung habe ich in Probeprüfungen immer wieder dieselbe Art von Fragen falsch beantwortet. Die ausgeschnittenen Notizen gingen nach einer Weile auch oft verloren. Als Entwickler habe ich eine Android-App namens ReMemory AI entwickelt, um genau dieses Problem zu lösen.

Das Prinzip ist ganz einfach:

Sie machen ein Foto von der Frage, die Sie nicht lösen konnten.

Die in die App integrierte Claude KI erklärt die Frage Schritt für Schritt völlig kostenlos und erstellt auf Wunsch eine ähnliche Frage zur Vertiefung.

Mit dem Prinzip der verteilten Wiederholung (Spaced Repetition) wird Ihnen die Frage genau dann wieder angezeigt, wenn Sie sie fast vergessen hätten.

Zudem gibt es Countdown-Funktionen für Prüfungen (wie Abitur, MSA, Abschlussprüfungen). Die App ist komplett kostenlos, die Claude KI-Integration ist gratis nutzbar und das Wichtigste: Sie müssen kein Konto erstellen oder eine E-Mail-Adresse angeben. Einfach herunterladen und direkt loslegen.

Wenn Sie die App ausprobieren und mir mitteilen, was noch fehlt oder verbessert werden könnte (insbesondere wie die Claude KI-Erklärungen und die Fragengenerierung funktionieren), werde ich sie weiterentwickeln.

Question Clothing colour question

1 Upvotes

Thanks for the help on my past 2 questions.

I have been able to figure out how to talk about other articles of clothing but I am struggling with trainers/sneakers.

In my sentence below, I understand well that I need to use the accusative case when referring to the trainers (being plural) so my guess is that the sentence would go as so (if talking about white trainers/sneakers):

Ich trage eine weißen Turnschuhe

Is this correct?

Thanks in advance for any help

Can anyone recommend any such courses online/offline free/paid.

Should I take these courses or do I try hard and self study bymyself?

Question B1 exam without the course

0 Upvotes

Hi,

I have to make B1 certificate from vhs and I learned that I can go only for the exam without taking the course (hours are impossible for someone working full time). Did anyone did it as well? I am somewhere between A2 and B1 and would take private tutoring to have more flexibility with the hours. I am bit afraid that without going to the course they might want to fail me on purpose or something. I as well enrolled for online course from vhs but after making few lessons I do not feel confident about it.

I was as well thinking about taking this exam preparation course from Goethe institute, but I am not sure is it more for learning or only preparing stricte for the exam.

Any advices?
