💬 Konversation auf Deutsch - Wir sprechen über den Konjunktiv II | Echtes Deutsch (27)

Welcome back to our channel We are Laura and Teresa We are native German speakers and German teachers And we had a live class a live lesson recently at our German campus on the topic of the second subjunctive And many participants said how to form the second subjunctive that's okay But how do I use it and when do I use it And exactly that is what we want to show you in today's video And I would say we don't talk about it for long but start right away Let's go Okay as you may know we also use the subjunctive II in everyday speech whenever necessary When we talk about unrealistic situations that is situations that are simply not realistic and are not facts This can be either when talking about dreams then it is also often combined with the word "gladly " I would like to sleep all day today or something Then that's a dream Then we use the subjunctive II with the combination with the word "gladly " Or as I said when we are talking about totally real situations Also for example if I were the Chancellor I would ban certain parties Exactly that's unfortunately not real I am not the Chancellor Then we can also use the subjunctive here And exactly such unreal questions such fantasies I have brought this along today and will ask you Laura these questions You can answer as much as possible in the subjunctive so that it becomes clear how to use the subjunctive Okay then let's get started Let's get started with the first question amely What would you do if you suddenly won the lottery and suddenly had 10 million euros Nice question Okay wait a minute if I won the lottery I think I would do completely different things I would definitely travel I would take a big trip Where I haven't decided yet but I would like to take a world trip for example Then I would buy a house or renovate the house where we now live And I would actually also donate money and probably to animal protection organization Animal protection organization And I think about a wish that we both have the one we've already talked about We would like to perhaps build a school in a country Yes that is actually true Or exactly Also in a country where there may not be a good education system yet or not yet developed to build a school That would actually be a dream for us Yes I think it's also sensible to then have your money Well you could buy me a house too I would have done that anyway You have ten million after all So you would buy me a house too Anyway Of course But one would of course also donate invest the money Yes exactly And do good things with it Yes very good Okay What would you do if you were invisible for a day That is a very good question If I were invisible Would that be cool Yeah sure Yes I would have already said that Okay Don't you think Tell me what would you do if you were invisible Yes I actually haven't thought about it yet But people often say things like wow I'd really like to play mouse sometimes Also one would be like a little mouse that no one can see in any way to hear something or somehow find out background information about something That's true but I think sometimes it's also good not to know everything Yes you know like if I imagine myself playing hide- and-seek at home maybe at a friend's place or wherever Then I think oh no in the end they're talking about me You end up hearing something that's maybe not so cool or something like that I was just thinking it kind of has to do with time travel because I thought if I could go back in time For example I would really love to travel to the Middle Ages one day just to see what it was like And I doubt that there was good quality of life there That's why it might be quite good there if you can become invisible Just take a look just to see how it was there Okay yes that's a good answer I think that's great Okay if you could invite a famous person to dinner who would that person be Hey I know it Really For you For me I immediately thought of Michael Jackson Who did you think of Bruce Springsteen Yes exactly that's right I couldn't decide between the two for a moment Also I would I would invite Michael Jackson I would also be absolutely sure that he would come I mean hello Of course who can who can't Who would miss that I find him truly inspiring as a musician and as a person That's something you have to accomplish what he has achieved in the music world He already had strong messages in his songs back then Strong messages What needs to be said I actually early this morning had Michael Jackson's "Heal the World" resonates with me because I thought it's more relevant than ever in the current situation That's true So I find it very inspiring Then I think the fewest know that but I 'm a very very big Bruce Springsteen fan Also I would definitely not say no Yes and I would have just had so many questions Yes is there a German-speaking person you would invite Wait a moment Yes of course there would be someone It's election time in Germany That means I'm a bit politically involved these days I would invite Angela Merkel I would really like to talk to her about what she has to say regarding the current situation Listen to their opinions and also talk a bit about their journey Yes as a woman Yes she has gone Yes absolutely She is in my opinion an inspiring person Who were you just thinking of that you would like to meet or invite Difficult It's not that easy or there are just so many interesting people Yes but deciding one Yes it's really difficult Then I'll think about it That's actually a good question for you too Also feel free to answer in the subjunctive in the comments Who would you invite to dinner if you had free choice Whether alive or perhaps even already deceased The person Yes Okay then next question Would you spend a month Also would you rather spend a month without chocolate or without coffee Absolutely sure You know the answer No coffee please That's right You can also drink black tea or something like that for coffee But not even that Also I don't need any coffee or anything You're saying that now I haven't had any coffee in such a long time Honestly And I didn't miss it You just had an espresso Today But okay Already that long really long already 20 minutes That was just an espresso we drank wasn't it I must say in my defense That I only drink coffee in extreme cases When I come namely When you come and stress me out No nonsense But we have today Let me think for a moment We've probably already filmed twelve videos or so And then there came a moment when I said "Wow a little coffee won't hurt " But I'm actually not someone who typically gets up early in the morning and says oh I need coffee right away I can't start my day without my coffee So a month without coffee would be no problem at all Whereas a month without chocolate Also that would be a catastrophe for me Okay for me it would be the opposite I think I need my coffee honestly I drink coffee every day actually at least two For me it wouldn't be such a problem not to eat chocolate because I could eat other sweets That's not the same But glass and gummy bears and such It's not the same as chocolate But maybe I can bake a cake or something It's also sweet But then you mustn't mix it with chocolate Yes but I think that's okay Yes really No without chocolate I couldn't do anything I think I could barely make it a day without chocolate Sad but it was crazy Well then let's see Okay would you rather live in a castle for a year or a treehouse A treehouse for a year One year Even if we had said a week or a month I would have said in the treehouse But I'm also someone who likes being in nature and so on But I don't think you have to overdo it now But not for a whole year No I would also like to be outside somehow But then I would take the lock Yes that's not bad I think As long as I don't have to clean windows or something everything is fine As long as I don't have to vacuum myself everything is okay Yes yes okay Of course one would have to look into the conditions But I mean there are now also really beautiful modern treehouses You can book them through Airbnb as I saw Also they are really tiny apartments or something like that in these trees And I think that's already really cool But there I would actually choose the treehouse Yes exactly I was just thinking about that treehouse where we played inside when were kids It was built by the dad himself Yes exactly No no Yes yes no Then I would also prefer the lock Definitely But a really nice modern treehouse I wouldn't say no to that Okay Would you rather eat the same thing every day May I eat your favorite food Oh that's really difficult So my problem right now is that I don't have a favorite food Yes chocolate But that's actually not food in the sense of food So there are so many things that I really like And I immediately thought of pizza or sushi or oh there's so much I like And for a year or was that the question or A year No never again eating that Wow that would be intense Never again your favorite meal or the same thing every day I think I would really have to reluctantly give up my favorite meal Because I can't eat the same thing all my life Because maybe something new could develop from that Then somehow a new favorite meal Exactly that's what I thought too So yes tastes change over time Also I mean that's an unrealistic question to begin with New resolution for next year But I also think I would rather say that one eats the same thing every day after all Also what did you decide I have decided to never eat my favorite food again And instead eat the same thing every day Yes okay Okay good Then we have Should I think about it for a moment You can because that's the other option Eating the same thing every day I would not eat the same thing every day Yes you would never eat your favorite food again Yes as if you would organize something wrong for me here No worries no worries Okay And what would you do if you never had to work again That's our final question Hey that would be totally boring Also if I never worked again I think we are in a very privileged situation To be honest because our job is just incredibly fun and it gives us so much and fulfills us But then again one might also have to say that I actually do that part in my free time Yes absolutely Also it's like that because I just think before I watch nonsense on TV now I' d rather do something for us A new script A new script for a video or something Because I just really like it Totally Absolutely But I think if I had a job like that which I have to do now and maybe you also look forward to every vacation or something like that then you would probably have different ideas So wow cool never work again But I think I would still look for some kind of occupation Also I could not imagine at all doing nothing and watching TV all day or lying on the beach or something like that I could really use a meaningful occupation I think I would be one So if I knew I was financially independent and it can basically do whatever I want then I would buy a large piece of land and start a animal shelter animal protection organization I would do that I would save all the stray dogs in the world And then they would have a great life And I would do nothing else but that Yes I can really imagine that honestly Right I would do that I think That's a nice ending Nice ending Okay Yes then thank you very much I hope it is now a bit clearer In which cases we use the subjunctive 2 Exactly And we have already asked you some questions Also she gladly answers in the comments below and tries to use the subjunctive And then we say goodbye Let's say goodbye See you in one of the next videos Exactly
