Show transcript
[ei] sounds like the German word 'frei' and the English word 'eye'.
'Wie?' means 'How?', like in 'Wie geht's?' ('How's it going?').
German has three words for 'a': 'ein' (masculine), 'eine' (feminine) and 'ein' (neuter).
'A' (ein, eine, ein) introduces new information; 'the' (der, die, das) refers to something already mentioned or known.
