Looking towards Alexanderplatz in Berlin.

Guten Tag!

Have you ever heard that 'Blood is thicker than water'? This month, we're taking a stroll through German expressions and daily words that bring us closer to the language and culture. From early morning walks to understanding the logic behind 'Blut ist dicker als Wasser', and even discussing the climate, we'll ensure you feel good about your German learning journey. Let's embark on this linguistic adventure together!

einen Spaziergang machen

The German phrase "einen Spaziergang machen" is the direct translation of "take a walk." It is a common phrase used to describe the act of going for a leisurely walk, often for pleasure or exercise. The phrase literally translates to "make a walk," but in English we would typically say "take a walk."

Here's how to use it:

  • Ich möchte einen Spaziergang machen.
  • Wir werden nach dem Essen einen Spaziergang machen.
  • Sollten wir einen Spaziergang machen, um frische Luft zu bekommen?

frĂŒh

The German word 'frĂŒh' is used to express that something happens at an early time. It can be used as an adjective, adverb, or noun. For example, 'Ich stehe frĂŒh auf' (I get up early), 'Der frĂŒhe Vogel fĂ€ngt den Wurm' (The early bird catches the worm), or 'Ich habe heute Morgen frĂŒh angefangen' (I started early this morning).

Here's how to use it:

  • Ich gehe frĂŒh ins Bett.
  • Er steht frĂŒh auf.
  • Das FrĂŒhstĂŒck ist frĂŒh.

Sich gut fĂŒhlen

The phrase 'Sich gut fĂŒhlen' is the German equivalent of 'Feeling good'. It is used to express a sense of well-being or contentment. The phrase is made up of the reflexive pronoun 'sich', the adjective 'gut' (meaning 'good'), and the verb 'fĂŒhlen' (meaning 'to feel'). It is important to note that in German, the verb often comes at the end of the sentence in the main clause, but in this case, it is used in the infinitive form because it is part of a reflexive verb construction.

Here's how to use it:

  • Ich fĂŒhle mich gut, nachdem ich geschlafen habe
  • Wenn ich mich gut fĂŒhle, gehe ich spazieren
  • Er fĂŒhlt sich gut, also wird er spielen

logisch

The German word 'logisch' is used to describe something that is logical or reasonable. It is an adjective and can be used to describe a person, an idea, or a situation. It is often used in conversations or debates to express agreement or understanding. For example, 'Das ist logisch' means 'That is logical'.

Here's how to use it:

  • Das ist logisch.
  • Es ist nicht logisch, so zu denken.
  • Ist das logisch fĂŒr dich?

Klima

The German word 'Klima' is used to refer to the climate, which is the long-term weather patterns in a specific area. It is used in the same way as the English word 'climate' and can be used to discuss topics such as global warming, climate change, and weather patterns.

Here's how to use it:

  • Das Klima hier ist sehr mild.
  • Klima und Wetter sind nicht dasselbe.
  • Der Klimawandel ist eine große Herausforderung.
