Was führt dich hierher in den Chat?

Mazen Besher

Yeah both German, and English are fine here
Mazen Besher
Mazen Besher
Thanks
I have a simple question in german
Takkat
Takkat
Schiess los!
Mazen Besher
Mazen Besher
in this sentence: "Es tut mir leid, dass Ich dich nicht angerufen habe"
shouldn't we put habe after ich?
Takkat
Takkat
no - the sentence is fine - but "ich" is lower case.
Dich used to be upper case but it has changed in the reformed spelling.
Mazen Besher
Mazen Besher
my mistake ... sorry
but my question about the verb "habe" position
why we put in the last
Takkat
Takkat

Its put to the end in a relative or subordinate clause.
In nested sentences it therefore helps to see what verb is at the end.
Mazen Besher
Mazen Besher
Oky that's better ...thanks, I have another simple question if you have time
Takkat
Takkat
Grammar is never simple.
at least not to me.
Mazen Besher
Mazen Besher
Ya especially in german
Takkat
Takkat
Grammar is like juggling with 20 balls too many
120% chance to get the rule wrong.
Mazen Besher
Mazen Besher

my second month here in Germany and if I want to say anything I have to take a moment just to check the rules
grammer
the sentence structure is so flexible
Takkat
Takkat
You should ignore it then - just say whatever you need to (and think about it later).
Mazen Besher
Mazen Besher
make me CRAY --- Akkusativ, Dativ....:(
Takkat
Takkat
Most Germans will not be able to tell you the rules even if they speak correctly.
Mazen Besher
Mazen Besher
When I ask my teacher most of the time, he say the sentence again in his mind to make sure that it's correct!!

Oft sind die Regeln so kompliziert, dass niemand sie aufschreiben kann. Es gibt nicht umsonst ganze Grammatik-Bibliotheken ;)
canoo.net ist eine gute Seite.

Mazen Besher
Mazen Besher

Takkat
Takkat
thefreedictionary.com is quite concise
Mazen Besher
Mazen Besher

in dieser Satz: "Glaubst du mir meine Geschichte nicht?", can I exclude "mir" and but "meine Geschichte" in Dativ?
Takkat
Takkat
Yeah - if you leave out the mir the meaning is slightly shifted to the unbelievable story (rather than the person telling it).
Mazen Besher
Mazen Besher
Ach so....Vielen Danke ...Dativ still very confusing for me.
Takkat
Takkat
Its probably colloquial. See "Glaubst du meiner Erzählung nicht?" <-- clearly dative
So "glaubst du meine Geschichte" is short for "glaubst du an meine Geschichte" both accusative
Colloquiality confuses me because there was a considerable shift in what used to be colloquial has now become standard.
Mazen Besher
Mazen Besher
Although I think I understand it....but my head still hurts
Takkat
Takkat
Whenever the head hurts it is a good indicator of it being a candidate for a question on the site ;)
