10 Sätze, die dein Deutsch SOFORT verbessern! ✨

Welcome back to our channel Today I'm showing you ten super typical Everyday expressions we practically say every day at work with friends in the Family simple everywhere These phrases contain words or structures from e spoken German which differs significantly from written German in some respects Therefore it's best to memorize these phrases in one form namely o remember as a chunk And in the video you always have the immediate opportunity to repeat the expression aloud So pay close attention to how I pronounce this Say it aloud and then try to imitate me First expression Haven't seen you in ages Imagine you're invited to a party You walk in and see someone you haven't seen in months Perhaps an old acquaintance a colleague or a neighbor from your old apartment in an old building You go Hey long time no see Long time no see That's a relaxed friendly thing to say when you haven't seen someone in a while And it's a great icebreaker for the conversation Small talk Of course the key is that it's not an accusation just a friendly way to begin a conversation By the way you can also see something quite special here Typical of everyday German speech It's a shortened sentence Actually the phrase is supposed to be hey I haven't seen you in ages or we haven't seen each other in ages But in spoken language we Efficient so we simply shorten the phrase to "long time no see " Long time no see Expression number two I've been totally I totally rambled on You're off work—go out o the office and suddenly you run into a friend on the street You chat and You talk and talk and suddenly an entire hour has passed You come home and your partner asks hey where were you You're late I've already been waiting for you Then you say with a laugh hey I I totally rambled on To ramble on is to speak excessively and without clear purpose Casual and means you've talked too long—you've completely lost track of time Expression number three: It wasn't intentional It wasn't intentional You're walking past someone on the subway and accidentally you accidentally step on the person's foot You naturally spin around immediately and say oh sorry didn't mean to Didn't mean to In this example perhaps even better with an apology or a sorry So Sorry it wasn't intentional That's a way of apologizing You're basically saying hey I didn't do this on purpose It was an accident Intention means yes that you do something consciously and in this context Fall it wasn't intentional It was an accident It wasn't my purpose So If you say it wasn't intentional you're saying I didn't want it to happen That was A mistake Not intentional The next expression is a question Can you handle that What about it For example your new colleague is supposed to complete a task on their own such as prepare a presentation and politely ask him can I have Can you handle that You can manage that right You'll be able to get it done won't you You got this task "Hinkriegen" or "etwas hinkriegen" is very informal That's not a word for an exam or perhaps for an official letter or email or something like that but perfect for everyday use Expression number 5 That's what I would have said Never thought that I never would have guessed You know your friend as completely shy but at the party he's talking to everyone dancing and laughed You look at him and say surprised hey so that's something I wouldn't have expected Thought it never thought it That's a phrase yes for situations that Surprising means something is different from what you expected The sentence Incidentally this is in the subjunctive II and past tense: would have plus past participle 2 I never would have thought that Your friend asks you can you help me Pick her up from the station tomorrow And you want to show her around sure no problem I'll do that I'd love to Then you say it's clear It's clear That means yes it works out and I'll do it Do it That's very relaxed very casual and sounds friendly Simple Got it Expression number 7 I've

tired and say nothing at all is going to happen today Today isn't going to work at all Nothing at all anymore That means I'm completely drained I can't do anything else Do nothing or just think That's a typical phrase for days when you're completely drained Today nothing at all is working anymore Number 9 expression means nothing to me That tells me nothing othing at all For example a friend talks
