📚 Wortschatz trainieren B2 (Nomen-Verb-Verbindungen einfach erklärt) _ Deutsch lernen B2

Hi and welcome to vocabulary training. Today we're going to see how you can express yourself even more professionally and more expressively at the B2 level in the professional context. Let's go. So, listen up. I'm going to give you a situation and you should think about how you could express it better at the B2 level. For example, you're working in a city but you want to be moved to another city because your fiancé lives there. Within your company, so to speak. And then you have shared it with the authorities. But how can you say that better? 1. I have submitted a transfer request. 2. I have put my request on hold. 3. I have put the authorities in charge. You now have 10 seconds to think about it. And the correct variant is 1. I have submitted a transfer request. This is a very common variant. You describe that you want to be moved to another city. And please pay attention to the noun verb conjugation. 1. Submit a request. Pay attention to the verb. Don't put or write or whatever, but submit. 1. Submit a request means to apply for something. For example, I have submitted a request for a home office. That means I applied for a home office because I like to work from home. Why don't the other two alternatives fit? So, putting on the game is a common noun verb conjugation. But it doesn't fit here, because it means to risk something. For example, if I don't keep the deadline, then I put my good reputation on the game. So I risk it. And number three we had someone to take responsibility for. Also a very nice noun verb conjugation. It doesn't fit here, because it means to make someone responsible for something. So, for example, you can say in our company there was a software failure or something recently and then the IT manager was taken responsibility for. Or you can also say sometimes taken to account. So he had to explain that he was made responsible for it. The next situation is also very life-threatening. Imagine you have applied as a family for a children's home office and then received a rejection. But then your wife requested this children's home office because it is legal for you and she also wants to get back into her professional life. How can you best express this? For example, number one, my wife has taken a children's home office as an initiative because it is legal for us. Number two, my wife has made a request that we get a children's home office. And my wife has decided to apply for a children's home office. Think about it for a moment. And the right variant is of course number two, to make a request. My wife has made a request. And that means to request something or to request. A very typical noun-verb combination. We can also take another example. Let's say the employees of this company have made the request to make their working hours more flexible. That means they really requested it to be able to work more flexibly. What about the first variant? We had the initiative. This is also a very nice noun-verb combination and it means to take the initiative. So the first step, go on your own, act independently, is very much welcomed by employers. For example, we can say Mrs. Lehmann has taken the initiative and developed or developed a completely new concept for improving customer care. That means she did it on her own, just completely independently, she developed it. And that's great. And number three, to make a decision. That means to finally decide on something. And the woman did not decide to apply for it. She decided that earlier. She requested it. That's why it doesn't fit here. But otherwise it's also a very nice noun-verb combination. You can always use it when you say I have finally decided on something. For example, the team has decided to end the project in advance, because, for example, it doesn't work at all or is not profitable at all. So really, that's our final decision. Now imagine you have an important presentation ahead of you. For example, in front of an important customer. And then you want to go through everything again, the whole presentation, to just make sure that everything works perfectly, i.e. flawlessly. How can you express this more professionally with a noun-verb combination? Variant 1. We really want to play with open cards and therefore go through the presentation again. Number 2. We really want to look beyond the plate and therefore go through the presentation again. Number 3. We really want to play it safe and therefore go through the presentation again. Think about it for a moment. And the right variant is number 3. Playing it safe means being careful to play it safe, to take no risk that something doesn't work. So we tested everything and we also went through the presentation again to play it safe. It's really a very typical noun-verb combination. You can use it very much in your professional life. What about the first variant? We had to play with open cards. That means being transparent and honest. That doesn't quite fit in this context, but otherwise it's also very nice. For example, you can say, in the conversation with the management, she played with open cards and addressed these existing problems directly. And then we had to look beyond the plate. I like this conversation or noun-verb combination. I also use it very much, for example, in the context of travel, when you get to know new cultures, for example. Because that means taking on new perspectives, getting to know something new and expanding your horizon. You can also say in the professional context, for example, to find innovative solutions, we should definitely look beyond the plate and exchange with our partners from abroad more often. So listen to other opinions, other perspectives. And let's look at another situation. Imagine that you, as head of department, say, for example, we definitely have to do something But how can you express that even more professionally with a noun-verb combination? Think about it for a moment. And the right variant is of course number one, to take action. That means exactly what we wanted, to do something to solve a problem. So in our case, we have to do something to optimize customer service. So we have to take certain measures. Then we had to bring in experience. That doesn't quite fit. That means, for example, finding out certain information. In terms of context, it doesn't quite fit. But otherwise you can say, for example, before the conversation with this customer, we need to bring in a few more details. So find out so that we are prepared. And number three, we have to take a stand on something. That usually means expressing an opinion on something That doesn't quite fit here either. You can say, for example, the department head had to take a stand on the declining sales in the last quarter. So he had to explain this and express his opinion. This noun-verb combination is also very useful in a professional context. So, we are already at the end of this video.
