Lesson 4: Some more Nouns and also places and how to ask about themOkay, so now you're in Germany and you have no clue what that weird thing is or you just want to know what it is called in German. How do you do that?
First, have some nouns.
car - das Auto
listen!pencil - der Bleistift
listen!book - das Buch
listen!TV - der Fernseher
listen!coffee - der Kaffee
listenkey - der Schluessel
listenchocolate - die Schokolade
listenpen(or just generally anything you use to write) - der Stift
listenchair - der Stuhl
listenbag - die Tasche
listentable - der Tisch
listenwatch/clock - die Uhr
listennewspaper - die Zeitung
listennow how to ask what something is, and how to answer.
what - was
listenWhat is that - Was ist das? (see older lessons on conjugation of "be" if you don't know)
This is a X - Das ist ein/eine (depending on male/neutral/female gender of word) X
Some places and things you would ask where they are
elevator - der Fahrstuhl
listenhouse - das Haus
listenroom - der Raum
listentelephone - das Telefon
listentoilet - die Toilette
listencigarettes - die Zigaretten
listenhow to ask where something is
where - wo
listenthere - da
listen or dort
listen they're about the same.
Where is X - Wo ist X
It is there./X is there. - Es ist dort./ X ist dort. Or Es ist da./ X ist da.
I think I already told how to ask who someone is in an earlier lesson?
EDIT: Nope, apparently I didn't.who - wer
listenWho is that? - Wer ist das?
That is X - Das ist X (works for names as well as jobs, That is a X - Das ist ein/eine X)
So that's it for now.
Looooong lesson after a looooong pause.
