Error Boy :

The crazy thing is that we do this automatically. When I hear it explained I can’t believe that my brain goes through this rolodex of possibilities to pick the right one based on “it feels right” in a fraction of second 🤯

ivorrichards387 :

Please don't do this! If you truly love the German language this kind of post might put others off learning and I'm pretty sure you don't want to do that. It really is all about listening to the way Germans speak, learning whole phrases and repeating them. It's all about usage! So come on guys learning languages is fun!

You’re confusing me

maximusasauluk :

literally me learning German lmao

Eero Pussinen :

The wo in woran and the wo in "where" are different though, it's not correct to say that wo means what, it's just confusing. It's a prefix used with prepositions

not_bogos :

what are you working on = an was "arbeitest du?" that would literally be= "on what are you working". "an was" doesnt have to transform into "woran"
