Es ist sehr nett und es ist das dritte mal beobachtette Sie aber ab heute werde ich Ihr Student sein und ich mag die Art und Weise erklären und ihnen Danke.
Maybe some of the 'be' prefixes have something to do with giving the verbs a Dynamic aspect (as opposed to a Stative aspect). 'Bestehen' could be 'to move into a state of being built'; 'befinden' is like 'to move into a state of finding'; 'behalten' could be 'to start holding' or 'to pick up' (metaphorically). Awesome video! :)
English seems to treat "be" similarly to German. For example, to bejewel something is to add jewels to it. The one exception someone once brought to my attention is behead, which "subtracts" the head from one's body. Thanks so much for your channel!
I had not watched this videos before, but this are AMAZING, it explains everything in a way wich I can understand. This videos are Great. I seriously recommen them.
Hey Katja! I would say the verb bestätigen comes from the verb tätigen. For some reason it's added an S to its "be- form". Idk if that makes sense to you... be-s-tätigen
The way the prefix "be-" is used in English is similar to its meaning in Deutsch, I think. There are a few uses of the prefix in English: 1. To make an "action verb" into one that denotes a state, or emphasizes coming to that state. ex. become changes the action "come" into one that denotes a change of state, just like "befinden" changes the Deutsch action verb "finden" 2. Containing or "wearing/touching/adorning" something ex. "bedazzled", "beloved" 3. Added to a noun or adjective to mean "To become X" or "To cause to be X", denotes a change of state, similar to meaning #1 ex. "befriend" means "to cause to be a friend" "bewitch" does NOT mean "to cause to be a witch", but it is what a witch does to you All these meanings are used also in Deutsch, although there are many other meanings for this prefix in Deutsch
I find "be-" one of the easier ones, as it also exists in English - I betook myself to the pub, I besought whither he had gone, it so befell - though it usually sounds a bit old fashioned.
yeah, kinda, but careful, because yes, it exists, but like you said, it usually is highly outdated in English (of course there are exceptions). More words produced with it are outdated in German, too, than there are with other (especially separable) prefixes, but it is in no way an antiquted prefix in German :)
The be- is also common in Old English. In that context I've heard it as meaning "cause to happen" or "cause to be". Does that make sense in German words also?
I would say no. There are two problems here. You have to distinguish between meaning and translation. I can translate "cause to happen" and "cause to be" in to German, but it is unlikely that the German translation would have the exact same meaning, which is important in these cases. The other problem is the question whether the English be- prefix is the same as the German "be-" prefix or are they actually from different origin. Anyway, if I use the German translation of "cause to happen" and "cause to be" I don't notice the German meaning in prefixed be- verbs. A kind of _causing something, somehow in a certain way_ is not the function of the German be- prefix in my native understanding. But you were asking a interesting question.
Hey Katja, I think the two parts of episode 99 are missing from the "Alle DFE Episoden" playlist. And thanks for making such great videos! My German courses simplify some things in the interest of time, and DFE helps flesh out the concepts that get passed over.
Can I get an example of "bestehen bleiben". If I wanted to say "It persists" would I say "es besteht zu bleiben"? or maybe "es bleibt zu bestehen?" I'm having trouble figuring out how to use this.
I didn't think bleiben could act as a modal verb. You don't need the "zu"? Maybe I'm missing a grammar rule. Can I do this with other verbs? Example: Er bleibt schlafen. He remains sleeping?
It doesn't; this is more of a set phrase. I'd have to look into why exactly this works, since you usually use bleiben with adjectives or adverbs. So no, "Er bleibt schlafen." is never correct.
In my grammar book there is a chapter about "Modalverbähnliche Verben" and one of them is bleiben, although it says that it is often used with "sitzen, bleiben, liegen", but there should be more cases like this one.
These are actually compound verbs. Before 1996 they were written together, after the infamous reform they were written separatly. Das sind eigentlich zusammengesetzte Verben. Vor 1996 wurden die noch zusammengeschrieben, danach auseinander geschrieben.
Hallo Katja Was ist der Unterschied zwischen zahlen vs bezahlen antworten ve beantworten raten vs beraten Sind die Bedeutungen die Gleiche? Kein Unterschied, oder?Danke
Die Bedeutungen sind nicht gleich. Antworten tut man einer Person, Sprecher oder Schreiber. Beantworten bezieht sich auf Äußerungen, Texte, Fragen etc. Beispiel: Ich habe dir geantwortet. Ich hoffe damit ist deine Frage beantwortet. Bei zahlen und bezahlen ist es ähnlich. Bezahlen bezieht sich immer auf eine Rechnung, Forderung etc. Allerdings kann auch zahlen so verwendet werden. Beispiel: Ich bezahle die Rechnung. Ich zahle die Rechnung. Aber: Ich zahle dir das Geld. Nicht: Ich bezahle dir das Geld. Raten und Beraten: Raten bezieht sich auf den Inhalt eines Ratschlags, beraten auf den Empfänger. Beispiel: Ich rate dir vorsichtig zu sein. Ich berate dich. Vorsicht: Raten kann auch "to guess" bedeuten. Dann hat das nichts mit beraten zu tun.
'Be' cant be used with modal verbs?Dürfen is a modal verb...i think...but I have heard it used with 'be' meaning roughly 'to deserve' or 'to be in need of'. Bedürfen
Nice observation. That is not technically a prefixed verb, not a "pure" one because the be in this case is not modifying the base meaning, but changes it completely. But yes, it's technically a rare exception to the rule! :)
hallo!!! I try and remember the difference between bekommen and kommen as kommen means "come" and bekommen means "come and get it," but I'm in the deep south of america. We have a fucked up way of looking at things. speaking of which, you got a pretty mouth.
didn't you miss the meaning for "begehen" that implies motion? "Einen Berg/ einen Pfad begehen" Or did I misunderstand and you are focusing on those meanings where the meaning of the word is different from just the base?
ruolbu // The more appropriate choice of word(s), would be „den Berg besteigen" for "to climb the mountain", or „den Pfad betreten”- "To step onto the path", respectively „den Pfad durchqueren" - "to transit a path".
Deutsch für euch ist der beste Kanal auf UA-cam...Danke Katja 😀😀😀

Silver Play button! Congrats! Finally!
This was excellent, please keep it up just like this.
Your videos are so interesting! Love them!
I love u and your lessons

Thanks for letting me know! Glad I can fill that gap, that's part of my intention here :)

I would add the 'benehmen' and 'sich benehmen' to the list ;-)

You can't use inseparable prefixes with modal verbs?
Bedürfen? Vermögen?
