German Personal Pronouns in NOMINATIVE | ich (I), du (you), er (he)... | YourGermanTeacher

Loading player…

This A1 German lesson introduces nominative personal pronouns, explaining their function in replacing nouns to avoid repetition. A key distinction highlighted is that German personal pronouns for objects vary according to the noun's gender (masculine, feminine, or neuter), unlike English where 'it' is used universally. For example, 'der Tisch' (masculine) uses 'er,' and 'das Baby' (neuter) uses 'es.'

[00:29]

Im...

[00:31]

Nominativ in the Tief.

[00:33]

Was ist ein personal pronoun what is actually a personal pronoun.

[00:38]

The origin comes from, as personal pronoun is two words, the first word is personal,

[00:45]

is a person or personette.

[00:47]

Pronomen comes from the language Latin.

[00:50]

and Pro stands for For or...

[00:53]

before Und Norman ist erneut.

[00:56]

So in this case, Paul Norman.

[00:59]

is Translated for a noun.

[01:02]

This is also the definition and the definition is a personal pronoun.

[01:05]

is a pronoun that stands for a person or a thing.

[01:10]

In other words, it replaces...

[01:13]

or things.

[01:16]

Alright, let's do the personal pronouns in nominative.

[01:18]

The first one is Ich?

[01:20]

[01:25]

[01:32]

Er.

[01:33]

[01:34]

Oder eher...

[01:35]

is He?

[01:35]

or can also be it.

[01:38]

Remember, we have...

[01:41]

three-changers in German.

[01:43]

So every noun has a gender, everything, every object has a gender.

[01:48]

and if you want to use a personal pronoun then you have to use the personal pronoun.

[01:52]

according to the gender We will do examples.

[01:58]

[02:01]

Next one is...

[02:02]

Z Z is she or also And The next one is is Is, is, same like in English.

[02:10]

[02:13]

That was Singular, now we go to Plural, Plural, wir, wir.

[02:16]

[02:19]

IHR E is You guys, you all.

[02:22]

you in plural.

[02:25]

and Z Z day Z and Z capitalized?

[02:32]

As you can see here, Z capitalized is...

[02:35]

the formal version of you.

[02:38]

[02:50]

[02:59]

[03:02]

and in German always the subject.

[03:04]

always the subject is in Nominativ.

[03:08]

Let's do some.

[03:11]

Examples, Beispiele.

[03:12]

Zum Beispiel Ich...

[03:15]

Ich heiße Luzi.

[03:16]

Ich heiße...

[03:18]

Lutzi, I am called Lutzi.

[03:19]

My name is Lutzi.

[03:20]

Du?

[03:22]

[03:23]

[03:24]

[03:28]

[03:31]

Er spielt Basketball.

[03:33]

[03:35]

So let's say.

[03:38]

Let's say this person is cold.

[03:39]

Jack.

[03:40]

Jack plays basketball.

[03:41]

Instead of saying, Jack spielt basketball.

[03:43]

You can use this pronoun.

[03:46]

Er spielt.

[03:47]

basketball.

[03:48]

Next one.

[03:50]

Sie, sie liest ein.

[03:50]

EARLAND Deutsch?

[04:13]

you guys you are learning Der Termin wird erlernt.

[04:15]

Deutsch?

[04:18]

Sie, Sie machen alles.

[04:19]

They play game Now, this video is all about pronouns, right?

[04:22]

So if you are a beginner and you want to know more about the conjugation.

[04:26]

of the verb as like you see here all these different conjugations according to the

[04:33]

pronoun Check out the video in my description.

[04:33]

I'm gonna put there also a link of a video which explains the everything you need to

[04:41]

know about the verb conjugation and personal problems.

[04:43]

Alright, let's do some examples.

[04:45]

with sex.

[04:47]

We take the verb Sein, sein ist mit.

[04:49]

nominative and we have noun in masculine which is This one here, was ist das?

[04:55]

Das ist...

[04:58]

ein Kühlschrank.

[04:59]

Das ist Schrank des Ese Refrigerator.

[05:03]

Der Kühlschrank ist...

[05:06]

NOI.

[05:07]

describe it now as you can see and their culture is knowing the fridge is New.

[05:11]

And now...

[05:14]

You don't want to use this.

[05:15]

now and again.

[05:16]

and you want to make it shorter so you can use the Pronoun.

[05:18]

Then you're gonna have to go up to this table here.

[05:21]

Kühlschrank is masculine, it's a male.

[05:23]

noun so you have to use The whole sentence would be air ist.

[05:30]

BIST It is new.

[05:33]

we say actually he is new.

[05:36]

because Kühlschrank is a dude, so we call it.

[05:39]

He is new.

[05:42]

Er ist.

[05:43]

So you see here, this whole thing, it makes...

[05:44]

Using the pronouns makes everything shorter.

[05:46]

is actually also more common.

[05:49]

so using the pronoun is very very common and it also improves your language.

[05:54]

Instead of always using the noun, using the pronoun changes the language a little

[06:00]

bit and

[06:02]

improves also the level of your language so try always to change between nouns and

[06:08]

Let's do the next example.

[06:08]

Feminin.

[06:11]

Was ist das?

[06:12]

As ist.

[06:13]

I know.

[06:14]

Das ist eine Tasche.

[06:15]

Das ist Feminin D.

[06:18]

touch it.

[06:19]

Describe it.

[06:20]

die Tasche ist.

[06:21]

Schön Tasche ist schön.

[06:23]

The bag is Beautiful.

[06:25]

And now again, you don't want to use this again, so you want to use a pronoun.

[06:30]

this table.

[06:33]

Touch is feminine, so you have to use Z Z, the whole sentence would be Sie ist.

[06:38]

Schön.

[06:41]

Z ist Schön.

[06:42]

it is.

[06:43]

Next one.

[06:46]

known with Neutrum, a neutral noun.

[06:48]

Was ist das?

[06:51]

Das ist ein Handy, das ist ein Handy, das Handy ist Neutrum.

[06:55]

Das Handy ist Das Handy ist sehr.

[06:58]

Alt.

[07:01]

And again.

[07:02]

You want to use a pronoun instead of the noun.

[07:03]

So you have to check.

[07:06]

Neutrum comes is So the whole sentence will...

[07:07]

Es ist.

[07:10]

alt.

[07:11]

its east.

[07:12]

And of course it's also possible in Plural Zum Beispiel, was ist das?

[07:15]

sind Stiftel.

[07:18]

Das sind Stifte, die es sind.

[07:20]

pins.

[07:23]

Die Stifte sind praktisch.

[07:23]

Die Stifte sind Praktisch.

[07:26]

pens are practical.

[07:29]

Again, you want to make it shorter, you want to use a Pronoun So instead of saying

[07:32]

Die Stifte.

[07:34]

you have to use the pronoun See.

[07:36]

Z the whole sentence will be.

[07:39]

Sie sind.

[07:41]

Praktisch.

[07:42]

Z praktisch die HUUUH Bonus tip Is, this word is, if you don't have...

[07:51]

and personal.

[07:54]

a thing whatever if you don't have proper noun Then you can we often use this is as

[07:59]

it replacement kind of as a sub.

[08:00]

Zum Beispiel, es regnet.

[08:03]

It's actually same like in English as well.

[08:06]

It's raining.

[08:08]

It's...

[08:09]

Es regnet.

[08:10]

BODO Es ist spät.
