A.F* - Phonetic Alphabet

The Phonetic Alphabet in Austria and Switzerland:

The Phonetic Alphabet in Austria is a bit different from that found in Germany, the differences being: the words Kaufmann, Ökonom, Übermut, Xanthippe, and Zeppelin.
are replaced by the words Konrad, Austria, evil, Xaver and Zurich. And the Phonetic Alphabet of Switzerland has some modifications compared to that of Germany:
the words Dora, Kaufmann, economist, Paula, Xanthippe and Zeppelin are replaced by the words Daniel, Kaiser, Örlikon, Peter, Xaver and Zurich.

The diacritics of the German language:

Except for borrowed words from other languages or brand names, the Romanian language uses only 5 letters with diacritics (Ă ă, Ââ, Îî, Ş ş, Ţ ţ).
Outside of them, we will not encounter other letters with the same characteristics; a similar principle is also applied in the German language for the three letters with umlaut (Ä ä.
Ö ö, Ü ü).
The word umlaut exists in the Romanian language but is not commonly used, which is why we will provide you with a more detailed explanation of this word in the following lines:
Trema or umlaut is a diacritical mark consisting of two dots placed above a letter, most often the letter is a vowel.
Important! When writing in German, be careful not to confuse the umlaut with the circumflex or the Romanian hat due to haste or inattention.

It is sharp:

The symbol ß in the German language is a ligature that replaces the letters ss, it belongs exclusively to lowercase letters and will never be at the beginning of a word.
Switzerland and Liechtenstein is no longer used because it has been permanently replaced.
How can I substitute the 4 extra letters from the German alphabet if I don't have them on my keyboard?

The 4 extra letters from the German alphabet can be officially replaced as follows: letter ä with ae, letter ö with oe, letter ü with ue, and letter ß with ss.

Recommended way to spell a name letter by letter in German:

In the German language, some letters have multiple pronunciations, which sometimes makes reading them more difficult, and for a clearer understanding, you may be asked to
countless situations to spell a name letter by letter. In the following lines, we will learn how to say a name letter by letter in German.

One of the most common variations in the Romanian language when we want to spell a name letter by letter is: (for example, we will use the name 'Alin') A for
A from 'Lazăr', I from 'Ion', N from 'Nicolae'. In German, the formula is approximately the same, the changes being:

Instead of 'from' we will use 'wie'.


2. And instead of the names 'Ana', 'Lazăr', 'Ion' and 'Nicolae' we will use the German variant, namely 'Anton', 'Ludwig', 'Ida' and 'Nordpol'. (not is
It is mandatory to use the names encountered in the German phonetic alphabet; you can also use names of German cities or names of countries in the German language). Attention! If
If you want to use names of countries or cities, you need to be sure of their spelling and pronunciation in German, for example: 'Austria' in German is
Write 'Austria' and it is pronounced 'iostăr-raih'.

If you want to say 'the same as the first letter of...', you can use the expression 'wie der erste Buchstabe in...'.

A-L-I-N

A as in 'Anton', L as in 'Ludwig', I as in 'Ida', N as in 'North Pole'.

Some basic sentences useful in this type of situation:

What is your name? - How are you called? (pronunciation: vi haisan zi?) (formal)
What is your name?-What is your name? (pronunciation: vi haist du?)
What is your last name?
My name is... -I am called...(pronunciation: ih haise...)
Can you spell the name, please?
Can you please spell your name?
Yes, I can

The pronunciation of the letters in the previous table:

The pronunciation of the letters in the table above can only be used when you want to say the alphabet in German; it is not recommended to use it when you want to
pronounce a word in the German language.
If you want to learn how to pronounce words in German, we recommend our articles that refer exclusively to these aspects.

Numerele în Germană de la 1 la 100+


In this lesson you will learn the numbers in German from 1 to 100+.

Do you know how to say 'zero' in German? If the answer is 'No', then you are in the right place, because on this page, you will learn the numbers and expressions of
number base, used in the German language. Without numbers, you cannot hold essential conversations (about: time, age, money, prices, distances, etc.), therefore,

respective. Before we move on to the next point of our lesson, namely 'Numbers from 1 to 1000+ in German', we need to answer the question
initial, namely 'How do you say zero in German?', zero in the German language is null, and it is pronounced: 'nul'.
Numbers from 1 to 1000+ in German:

In just three steps, with the help of our tips and tables, you will learn to count in German, from 1 to 1000+. The first step is to study and remember.

The second step is to learn how to count from 21 to 99 in German. The numbers from 21 to 99 are formed according to the following pattern: units +
and + tens. For example: seventy-five (şaptezeci şi cinci), eighty-nine (nouăzeci şi opt). and is used only for separating units from tens, not

Based on the previously specified model, you can form the numbers from 21 to 99 without any problems. In the previous table, you learned the names of the numbers from 1 to 20.

80 eighty eighty the thorn

90 ninety ninety non-gypsy

Note!
The numbers from 21 to 99 in German, translated literally, may seem completely reversed for a native Romanian speaker, as the tens are placed in place of
units and the units instead of tens. For example: einundzwanzig literally means one and twenty.

In the third step, you will learn to count from 100 to +1000 in German. All exact hundreds from 100 to 900 in the German language end in '-'.
hundred". If you want to form hundreds in German, all you have to do is stick the units number to the word "-hundert", let's say for example that
We want to form the number 300, we will take the number three which we will attach to the word "-hundert", the final result will be dreihundert.

All the exact thousands from 1000 to 9000 end in '-tausend'. If you want to form thousands in German, you can apply the same method learned in the case of hundreds.

Attention!
When forming complex numbers in German, a large part of the number is written together, while millions, tens, and units are written separately, for example: 5853 =
five thousand eight hundred fifty-three.

Adjective in German: definition, declension and examples


In this lesson you will learn the definition and declension of German adjectives, as well,
Here you will also find a table with adjectives commonly used in German.
The part of speech that accompanies and indicates the qualities of a noun is called an adjective. In the German language, adjectives are written
always with a lowercase letter (exceptions are adjectives at the beginning of sentences). German adjectives change their form according to:
gender, number and case.

To better understand how German adjectives work, we will use different examples of sentences and phrases.
the noun 'cat' (Katze) alongside the adjective 'small' (klein), and in parentheses we will establish the basic rules used in
the declension of adjectives in the German language.

Example 1: my cat is small - My cat is small.

In this example, the adjective (klein) is positioned in the sentence after the noun (Katze). (Important - Declension of Adjectives
Germane: When an adjective is in a sentence after a noun, then the adjective in question does not receive any
termination.)

Example 2: my little cat is sweet.

In this example, the adjective (kleine) is placed before the noun (Katze). (Important - Declension of German Adjectives:
When an adjective is in a sentence before a noun, then the adjective in question will receive an ending depending on
the gender, number, and case of the noun.

Declension of German Adjectives:

The declension of German adjectives may seem complicated at first glance, but in reality, with just a little attention to detail,
You can learn the declension quickly and without any problems. The declension of German adjectives can be divided into three.
categorii importante: 1. Declinarea cu articolul hotărât numită şi Declinarea slabă, 2. Declinarea cu articolul nehotărât numită
and the mixed declension, 3. The declension without the article also known as the strong declension. In the following tables, we will analyze each in detail.
important category mentioned earlier, and as examples of German adjectives, we will use the adjective "small" (klein).

1. Declension with definite article / Weak declension


Weak declension is used when the adjective is next to a definite article: der, die, das, den, dem, des.

Weak declension: Masculine Feminine Neutral Plural

Nominative the little one the small the small ones

Accusative the small one the small the little ones

Dative to the little one the small of the small the little one

Genitive ["of the little one","of the little","of the little","of the little"]

2. Declension with indefinite article / Mixed declension


The mixed declension is used when the adjective is next to an indefinite article: ein-, kein-.

Mixed declination: Masculine Feminine Neutral Plural

Nominative a small one a small a small no small

Accusative a little a little (no) small**


Dative a small a small

Genitive a small one

The indefinite article has no plural; therefore, to indicate the plural form, the negative indefinite article (kein) is used.

3. Declension without article / Strong declension

The strong declension is used when there is no article in the vicinity of the adjective.

Declinarea tare: Masculin Feminin Neutral Plural

Nominative smaller small small small

Accusative small small smalls small

dative small little small

Genitive small***smaller small***smaller

In the case of the plural dative, the noun receives an additional suffix at the end of the word, for example: den kleinen Wölfen (the little wolves)
wolves)
In the case of Masculine Genitive and Neuter Genitive, the noun receives an-(e)ssupplement at the end of the word, for example:
of the little people

The comparative degree of the adjective in the German language:

The formation of the comparative degree in German is done according to the following rule:
Adjective + the ending -er. example: klein - kleiner / small - smaller

The formation of the comparative degree of equality in the German language is done according to the following rule:
so + adjective + as. example: I am as small as you

The formation of the comparative degree of superiority in the German language is done according to the following rule:
Adjective + than. Example: I am smaller than you.
