German Sentences

Hello everybody,

I recently started learning German or should I say Deutsche!?

[Person: der Deutsche, die Deutsche. Language: Deutsch. Adjective: deutscher/e/es. In the same way: der Araber, die Araberin. Arabisch. arabischer/e/es]


- ASächlich:
1- ein rotes Auto
2- ein großes Haus
3- ein schnellesr Drucker [der Drucker, männlich. Words ending in -er are nearly always masculin, X-er means "somebody/something who is doing X". So "ein Drucker druckt", i.e. a printer prints.]

- Männlich:
4- ein nützlichores Buch [das Buch, sächlich]
5- ein blauoer Kugelschreiber
6- eine Papierschachtel/Papierkiste [die Schachtel, die Kiste; beides weiblich] papierer Box or ein papier Box

- Weiblich:
7- eine hübscher Schmetterling [der Schmetterling, männlich]
8- eine schwarze Uhr
9- eine köstliche Mahlzeit

And by the way does anybody know how to differentiate among between Sächlich ["Sächlich" derives from "Sache", i.e. "thing"], Männlich and Weiblich! It seems a bit puzzling.

[You'll just have to learn it, as in most european languages (French, Italian, Dutch, ...). Learn nouns together with the article, i.e. "der Schmetterling" instead of just "Schmetterling". Use a dictionary to look up the gender if you don't know. Some endings indicate a particular gender (see http://www.mein-deutschbuch.de/lernen.php?menu_id=52), but there's no way around learning the gender together with the noun in general.]


Thank you very much indeed!

That's a very good idea. Thank you very much for sharing.

I only know one hint for learning the genders of the nouns, but it's not possible for all nouns. Imagine a man and a woman you know very well and visualize them with the male respectively female nouns. Visualize the neuter nouns without any person.
