How to say 'not' in German | nicht vs. kein
Вставка

- This video is about how to translate the English word 'not' into German. Its main focus is explaining the difference between the two very common German translations, 'nicht' and 'kein', including when they are used, whether they can change form, where they go in a sentence and how to decide which you should use. Once I have explained why I think English speakers find these differences so hard, I give a simple explanation, followed by a more complex explanation, followed by some word order conventions, followed by a number of working examples.
I love the simple yoda sentence, whenever I translate German it makes no sense in English . I enjoy how simple you explain everything.
Thanks!
This is my favorite German-language channel on UA-cam.
Glad to hear it’s been helpful to you
Me too..
I’m surprised he’s back…
I've seen multiple videos on this subject and this one's the best explanation for nicht and kein. thank you.
Vielen Dank. Ich freue mich sehr über das neue Video!
Gern geschehen!

Frohe Weihnachten dir auch!
You are the best my teacher !
Thanks!
At 7:15 you say that you could say "Ich lese nicht in meiner Freizeit" but you wouldn't cause it is referring to lese here, but when would you say it like that then? What other thing could you refer to in that sentence?
Danke, sehr gut
Bitte!
Sehr interresant danke shon
PS: "kein" doesn't just look very much like "ein", it also follows most of the same rules.
Which whiteboard animation are you using? Is it Doodly, CreateStudio, VideoScribe, .......?
Doodly!
@@mugridgelanguage thanks so much for responding. I have Doodly and it is so much work creating a video with audio. Anyway, I love your German videos! Thanks for making them.
@@mugridgelanguage I like how neat and clean the font in this video looks. I usually use "Handles Regular" but yours looks so neat that I am thinking about changing mine. I have the Enterprise version so there are so many choices to where it's hard to pick one.
It can take ages! That’s why I find it hard to find the time to publish videos regularly. I wish the process were easier.
Please more making-sentences from English to German
Thanks for the comments! I will aim to do more of that!
"Size matters not"
I came here after a lesson when i'm comfused with those crazy roles they have in Deutch lol
'Ich spiele nicht' is 'I don't play'.
But would 'I don't play football' be 'Ich spiele keinen Fußball' and not 'Ich spiele nicht Fußball'?
