Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can apply masculine and neuter plural rules 1 and 2 to build sentences with ‘es gibt’ and ‘viele’.

Show transcript
'Es gibt' means 'there is' or 'there are' and 'viele' means 'lots of' or 'many'. [ü] can be either short (followed by 2 or more consonants) or long (followed by a single consonant or 'h'). For noun plural rule 1, most masculine and neuter nouns add -e to the end and an umlaut on the vowel (ä,ö, ü). For noun plural rule 2, words ending in -el, -en or -er are often the same in the plural. ‘O Tannenbaum’ is a popular German Christmas song and translates as ‘O fir tree’.
