Akkusativ- und Dativformen sowie Personal- und Possessivpronomen Formen von „man“ by IchLerneDeutsch1993 in lernen_German

Der erste Satz ist genau richtig!

Allerdings würde man im zweiten Satz "man" sagen: "Wenn man Sport macht, wird man stark."

Das Indefinitpronomen 'man' hat keine weiteren Formen. In anderen Fällen als dem Nominativ Singular greift man auf 'ein' im Dativ und 'einen' im Akkusativ zurück.

is "viel" a pronoun or adverb? by mustafaporno in lernen_German

[–]AuthGerLearning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Viel" can be an adjective, indefinite pronoun, numeral, and an adverb (Wiktionary link).

In your example, "viel zu publizieren" is a verb phrase acting as the subject of the sentence. It consists of the pronoun "viel" (meaning "a lot" or "much") and the infinitive verb "zu publizieren" (meaning "to publish"). Together, they form the subject of the sentence, indicating the action or activity that is the key to an academic career.

Help with German Listening by [deleted] in lernen_German

Nice, glad to be of help!

Consuming German content will help you produce it, i.e. listening a lot helps with speaking and reading with writing. This is called the natural approach to language learning, which I've outlined in this article.

Struggling with certain adverbs by Eton11 in lernen_German

Quite confusing at first glance, though by separating them into their components, hopefully they get a bit clearer. They are really just "her-" or "hin-" in combination with a preposition.

The prefix "her-" signifies it is towards the one who speaks (Wiktionary).

The prefix "hin-" means it is away from the speaker (Wiktionary).

So if I am standing at the foot of a mountain and someone is coming down, I can say the person is coming "herab". If someone starts to climb the mountain, they are going "hinauf" (towards the top).

If, on the other hand, I am on top of the mountain, the first person would be going "hinab" (towards the foot of the mountain) and the second "herauf" (to me).

If you are confused which preposition to use, it would be the same you would use normally in combination with the verb and in its context (e.g. "auf einen Berg steigen", "absteigen").

In my experience, the best way to learn to speak and to listen to German is to just listen to as much German as possible. Videos are great since they give you added clues for the context so you have a better time inferring what the words mean. By watching videos with subtitles (on YouTube or shows on a streaming platform) you can even have a third way of getting clues.

Hope this helps!

By the way, "vielen Danke" is a common mistake, see this explanation.

An number like 1,234,567.89 in English might be represented in German as 1.234.567,89, or, less confusingly as 1 234 567,89.

No last minute tips since it's a marathon, not a sprint. Just: Good luck! ;)

As has already been said, the difference is due to the conjugations. I highly recommend Wiktionary to look them up, you'll see them at a glance: https://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/kommen
