But this verb has many prefixes, can change the meaning. If you wish to express yourself precisely and accurately, Then watch this video until the very end. Throughout the entire class You don't need to make any notes, because I will send you everything in a PDF file summarized. You can download these absolutely free of charge. You can find the link below this video. Of course, I'll give you homework again And we'll do a test at the end of the video. I'm giving you the homework assignment right now. Write your own example from your mind After class, into the comments. As already mentioned, the verb "sagen" is very general. With a prefix, we also obtain a new meaning, and that is very typical for the German language. A root word and many new meanings. You can easily get confused there. That's why I'm showing you a prefix for each one Examples in context. Our first verb is "to promise." This is separable. To commit means to say yes. For example, she agreed to the meeting tomorrow. Or in the perfect tense, she has agreed to the meeting tomorrow. As you can see, we need commitments a dative object For example, I could also say, I tell you. The opposite of making promises means canceling them. Things like saying no or canceling as well. For example, unfortunately I have to decline your invitation, Because I am sick. A refusal also requires a dative object. Unfortunately, I have to decline you Dative, Because I am sick. We also often find the verb "cancel" in formal contexts. For example, the concert was canceled due to cancelled due to bad weather. Here we have a passive form in the past tense. Canceled. This means that the concert will not take place. Announcements mean that one informs someone officially informed about something. We therefore often find this verb in formal contexts. or professional contexts. For example, the speaker said the program for the evening. The meaning is very similar to announcements. from announcements. We also use announcements for this, when we officially to inform someone about something But there is a small difference. We use announcements for, if something through a speaker, also made using a megaphone. Often at the station. For example, the train delay is currently being announced. Here we have a passive in the present tense. The train delay is being announced right now. Great, you've already accomplished half. I am proud of you. Keep going a little longer, to learn the remaining prefixes. Statements We also use statements In a formal context. The statement is very specific. if, for example, officially or formally testify at the police station or in court. For example, the witness gives testimony at the police station. Another example. Due to a traffic accident I have testified in court. And now a longer prefix. Predictions I use predictions, when I speak about the future. Specifically, when I talk about the weather or talk about traffic. Just like on television, in the weather report, on the news. For example, the weather report predicts heavy rain. That means it will rain heavily very soon. The weather forecast predicts heavy rain. "Voraussagen" is also separable. and has almost the same meaning like predictions. But what is the difference? I tend to rely more on predictions, if I do something very precisely and very precisely analyzed. For example, when I talk about the economy. As the expert says, a difficult economic situation ahead. Failure Watch out! Failure is inseparable. You may already know as well, that the prefix is fair often something negative is. Failure means not achieving something or that something simply doesn't work. For example, if I I fail to achieve my goals, I am versed in it. That means, If I don't achieve my goals, I just couldn't manage it. Perfect! You've held on for so long. Only one verb is missing. Also stay on it a little longer. Prohibit Please be careful again! Prohibition is also inseparable. To prohibit means to forbid something. For example, Smoking is prohibited on the premises. Here we have a state passive. It is prohibited. Very good! You have completed all the prefixes of "say." Are you ready for your test now? I wish you great success! How did the test go? I think, that you did a good job.

During class You don't need to make any notes. I have sent you the content summarized in the form of a PDF file. You can find the PDF file under this video And of course it is free. Moreover, there is also again A homework assignment for you, so that you can apply the newly acquired knowledge you can apply immediately. At the end of the video Shall we also do a test together? to check whether you have understood everything correctly. I'm giving you the homework assignment right now. Write after class an example of one's own with a new verb into the comments. You certainly already know the verb "hören." It means, that we have something with the ear, also auditory, perceive, such as I am listening to music. I perceive the music. We can hear the verb set various prefixes for example, on, off, to, and so on. I'll gladly explain it to you calmly all prefixes Our first verb is reflexive. It sounds a bit like something. It is separable. To listen to something means, that you are aware of something and listen attentively, such as I'm listening to a podcast. In my free time I really enjoy listening to podcasts. You too? Write something in the comments for me too. Even in a formal context Can we use "anhören"? such as The students listen attentively to the lecturer's talk Our next verb is to listen. This is also separable and similarly to listen to. Listening also means Listen attentively. It specifically refers to when another person is speaking to you, For example Please listen to me better, When I speak with you. Or I ask you to listen to me carefully. Here we have a to plus infinitive. Also, I ask you all to listen to me carefully. Our next verb is "abhören." It is also separable. and even has two meanings. The first meaning is something secretly listening, nor does the other person know, that you hear him or her, such as The police have the phone. the criminal was bugged. The second meaning is medical. also, for example, with a stethoscope. The doctor listens to the patient. with the stethoscope off. Something overlook. Here we also have two meanings. The first one is deliberately not hearing something. For example He was very mean. I simply ignored his comment. That means something like I pretend I didn't hear it. The second meaning of something being overlooked is, when we do not understand something acoustically, also something not hearing at all, for example Sorry, it's very loud here. I didn't catch your name. Also, I didn't quite catch it properly. Moreover, we have the inseparable verb belong. "Belonging" always takes the dative case. Hearing, however, has nothing to do with the ear. On the contrary. The verb gehören indicates possession. An example in the singular. This is my book. It belongs to me. In the plural, we can say, for example, These are our books. They belong to us. Similarly, inseparable is the reflexive verb to mishear To misunderstand means, that one has heard something incorrectly. For example Oh, I misheard. Your name is not Karin, but Katrin. Interrogation also exists as an intransitive verb. The meaning is very specific here. Namely, it means that someone is being questioned by the police. The police are also questioning a specific person. For example The police questioned the suspect. Our last verb is to inquire around It is reflexive and separable again. To find out information by asking around means, inquire with others Also ask something more. For example You are looking for a new apartment. I'll check around myself, whether someone is looking for a subtenant. Also I'll ask my friends, my acquaintances and my family, whether someone is looking for a subtenant. Very good! You've made it this far. Stay on a bit longer, to find out a bonus tip. Stop with the plus-tat. To stop is also separable. It has nothing to do with listening. It means not doing something anymore. For example I'm quitting smoking. You, good attention! Then we'll now do a test, to check your knowledge. How did the test go for you? I think well.
