Hello welcome to Fun German My name is Michaela Fröhlich I'
m a German teacher and today we're covering sentence stress
More precisely it Reliable about the main stress in a sentence meaning the word that carries the primary emphasis in a
The sentence is emphasized the most At this point as always my tip to you is:
may reduce playback speed or enable German
subtitles Also check out my video afterward
pay attention to the intonation if you haven't already and at the
end compare once again the relationship between intonation and stress
because you will find that the stressed syllable is always simultaneously
the highest or the lowest pitch How difficult or easy the correct
Accent in German also depends a little on your native language
If for example you have Chinese as your native language you will already
ave greater difficulty than if AUX for example Dutc
In a normal straightforward statement the main emphasis falls at the end
Stress typically falls on nouns verbs or adjectives
Here are a few simple examples for you
I have a brother My brother enjoys cooking He's very good at it
You see the emphasis falls more at the end of the sentence and above all it is always
e information emphasizes what is very important or new in the sentence Let's take a look at
Examples with additions such as local or modal information for instance
Are we going to Berlin Are we driving to Berlin No we're flying to Berlin
Berlin Usually we'd say we're heading to Berlin emphasizing Berlin
but in our example the location was already known information
and we just wanted to emphasize how we arrived in this city
That brings me to my next point namely that the same sentence can vary depending on
carry a slight shift in meaning or even mean something
entirely different An example I've already mentioned in my ow
Video on intonation What would you like to drink The first
sentence a completely normal question and the second one
We would like to emphasize the person since drinking is already
common knowledge but here we want to ask about the second person And
There is quite a significant difference between the following two questions
Want to come with me That means I'm going somewhere—do you want to join
You also want to come with me Do you want to go with me
Do you want to go out with me It means I want to have a relationship with you
that I want to be with you though it's more of a question teenagers tend to ask
We're now hearing the same sentence four times each time w
with a different emphasis Paul does not love Anna but Tim does Paul loves Anna
o he doesn't really love her he only likes her as a good friend Paul loves
Anna doesn't he loves Lisa Paul doesn't love Anna even though Anna thought he did
loves In this sentence we had a negation and normally we would
not position it differently and from this we can also see how
everything in the language is interconnected yes grammar with the res
Emphasis intonation and so on I can't articulate the word each time
Place the word I wish to emphasize at the forefront It is not Paul who loves Anna but Tim
Paul does not love Anna but Lisa In this case the word cannot be placed at the beginning
ever appear before the verb as the verb always occupies position 2
must So now it's your turn How would you complete the following conversation
Emphasize Here's the solution Want to have a beer No I don't like beer
No I get drunk so quickly But Tobi will definitely have a beer Of course I do
Love beer Let's head to the beer garden later So I hope you see
ow important it can be to place the right emphasis in a sentence and
I've always wondered whether you've ever been in a situation like that
There were misunderstandings later because you emphasized something
incorrectly—please tell me about it and write it in the comments
Sending you cheerful greetings and see you soon
