Lesson I.7: Kleidung

Hello from Berlin! [edit]

In every Lesson from 7 - 15 there is going to be a featured

German-Speaking city, which will be the theme of the lesson. For

7 - 8 it is Berlin. There will be famous locations in Berlin, for this

lesson it's Kurfrstendamm and KaDeWe, the shopping area of

Berlin. Also in each lesson there will be facts, so if you ever travel

to a German-Speaking country, it'll be like you are a native!

Facts [edit]

It's Time to Change Time [edit]

Berlin'stime is GMT +1. That means that they are 6hour s ahead

of E.S.T. If it's 2:00pm in New York City, it's 8:00pm (or 20:00)

Tip, Tip, and More Tip [edit]

In contrast to many other countries where waiters sometime 'live

on the tips' in German-speaking countries service

personnel always receive a regular wage (usually

per hour) and the tip is always an extra for good

service. Not to give a tip will probably give the

waiter the impression that either service or product

were not that good and you are too polite to admit

this, but not tipping is not considered 'rude'. If you

tip you usually round up, up to 50 Cents for coffee

or up to the next 5 euros for lunch, e.g. 2,70

becomes 3,00 and 21 become 25 . Also,

tipping is only expected when you get served, i.e.

when the service personnel bring something to

your table, so if you pay at a counter like at

McDonald's or StarBucks you don't tip at all.

Only when having a large party, like celebrating

your birthday in a restaurant, you do extra tipping.

For a night you should pay 30 EUR to 80 EUR per

waiter and give it separately to the manager (frdie Bedienung). In many restaurants it is normal

the tip is shared with the kitchen personnel.

Paying with credit card or debit card makes tipping

difficult, because there is no line on the bill to fill in

the tip. Always tip when paying, don't leave money

on the table.

Shopping Locations [edit]

There are two major shopping locations. The Kurfrstendamm in the old west is lined with boutiques and

department stores. It continues eastwards for about three hundred yards where you can visit KaDeWe, the

biggest department store in Europe. On the newly-developed Friedrichstraein the old east, the famous

French store Galleries Lafayette is to be found together with a maze of underground shopping malls. Shops

are generally open 9am-8pm Monday through Saturday. In the outskirts most shops close at 4pm on

Saturdays.

Money [edit]

Germany, Austria, Luxemburg, Belgium and Sdtirol in other words: all German speaking regions except

Switzerland and Liechtenstein have given up their former currencies and adopted the Euro as of 1999.

Because they are not members of the European Union, Switzerland and Liechtenstein have kept the Swiss

Francs. Currently 1 EUR is 1.34 USD.

Now if you were at a shopping center in German like Kurfrstendamm, and you were shopping at a boutique

here is some vocabulary you might want to know.

Was macht das?

Was kostet das?

How much does it cost?

Das Hemd kostet 120 Euro.

The shirt costs 120 euros.

Das kostet 690 Euro.

That costs 690 euros (all together).

German Math [edit]

In written German, a comma is used (e. g. in prices) where we would put a decimal point in English. Thus

5,49 (or 5,49 ) means five euros and fourty-nine cents. When a price ends in a round number of euros, it

is most commonly written as 5,- etc. The reverse is also true. Where as English uses a comma to split

up large numbers, German uses a dot. So " 6.945" means sechs tausend neunhundertfnfundvierzig

(six thousand nine hundred and forty-five) euros - not six point nine four five euros.

Now if you try something on or you're looking for a soft shirt with a tight fit, you find it, feel it, try it on, but

it's fairly expensive you might say this...

In English: The shirt looks great! The shirt feels soft, fits tight. The shirt is very comfortable. How much

does it cost? Oh no! The shirt is expensive! 55 euros is a little too much for me.

In German: Das Hemd sieht prima aus! Das Hemd fhlt sich weich an, es sitzt eng. Das Hemd ist sehr

bequem. Wieviel kostet es? Oh nein! Das Hemd ist teuer! 55 Euro sind mir ein bisschen zuviel.

The phrases to describe the shirt were...

The shirt looks great.

Das Hemd siehtprima aus.

The shirt feels soft.

Das Hemd fhltsich weich an.

The shirt fits tight.

Das Hemd sitzteng.

Now, the bold words are verbs that are one part in describing how the shirt is. The other half of describing it

is the adjectives like soft, tight, great, etc. And as you can see the verb "looks" is separable, but we will get

into that later.

Clothing-Related Verbs [edit]

And now getting into verbs - here are some of the verbs, and also some of these are Separable-Prefix

Verbs, like aussehen, anprobieren, and anhaben. But we will study those in more detail later. Also we willbe learning about "tragen".

To take nehmen

To buy kaufen

To have on/wear anhaben, tragen

He has on/wears Er hat an

Separable Prefix Verbs [edit]

Many German verbs change their meaning by adding prefixs, which are often preposition such as ab-, an-,

auf-, aus-, bei-, ein-, mit-, vor-, or zu-.The verbs anhaben(to wear) and aussehen(to look) are both verbs

with separable ( trennbar) prefixes. That is, when used next to the subject pronoun, the prefix is separated

from the verb and put at the end of the sentence or clause. Or, better put, In the present tense and

imperative, the prefix is separated from the infinitive stem.

Examples:

"Ich habe einen Mantel an."("I'm wearing a coat." Or, more literally translated, "I have a coat on.")

"Was hast du an?"("What are you wearing?" or "What do you have on?")

However, when the separable-prefix verb is put at the end of the sentence, such as when used with a modalverb, the verb in question and its prefix are not separated.

Examples:

"Du willst einen Mantel anhaben."("You want to wear a coat.")

"Willst du eine Bluse anhaben?"("Do you want to wear a blouse?")

Tragen [edit]

Instead of "anhaben"the verb "tragen" is often used. The sentences from above would then be:

"Ich trage einen Mantel."("I'm wearing a coat." )

"Was trgst du?" ("What are you wearing?")

"Du willst einen Mantel tragen."("You want to wear a coat.")

"Willst du eine Bluse tragen?"("Do you want to wear a blouse?")

The verb "tragen"has two meanings: "to wear" and "to carry". So if someone says "Ich trage Schuhe"only

the context will tell you whether the person is carrying the shoes in his hands or actually wearing them.

Tragen is a different kind of irregular verb -- one that not only changes at the end of the word, but also

changes internally. Notice that the vowel in tragen's second and third-person forms changes from an ainto

an . Other verbs with similar conjugation patterns include fahren, graben, schaffen, and waschen.

Person Singular Plural1st ich trage wir tragen

2nd du trgst ihr tragt

3rd er/sie/es trgt sie tragen

Colors [edit]

Color are also another great way to describe clothes like Das rote Hemd passt gut. which means The red

shirt fits well.

Read the following paragraph, try to find the words described to have a color.

Wir fahren in den Schwarzwald. Ich habe ein grnes Hemd getragen. Die Reise war lang. Es begann klter

zu werden und abzukhlen. Ich hrte Musik auf meinem braunen iPod. Ich bin schlielich eingeschlafen.

Als ich aufwachte, sah ich den blauen Himmel und den weien Schnee.

If you found 5 words you are right.
