Show transcript
The 's' in [sp] and [st] sounds like [sch] at the start of a word, as part of a compound noun or after a prefix. The adverb 'lieber' means 'rather', and is used to say 'prefer' with a verb. The verb ‘lieben’ means ‘to love, loving’. The conjunctions 'denn' and 'weil' both mean 'because'. The verb follows the subject when using 'denn'. This is standard word order or word order 1 (WO1). The verb moves to the end of the clause when using 'weil'. This is word order 3 (WO3).
