Vocabulary Extension I: AnimalsAlso, in each epilogue, we will introduce a few new vocabularies (like on this page). Not too many, just a few. Let's start on this page with learning the names of some important animals, most of which we deal with almost every day:Click on the blue arrows to hear the words in German.
Exercise You are visiting the 'Tiergarten' (animal-garden) or 'Zoo' in Berlin with your niece from Germany. Guess what she will say when she sees the following animals. Always use a form of the irregular verb 'sehen' (to see), which changes its stem from 'e' to 'ie' for the 'du' and 'er/sie/es' forms. Also use the indefinite article and think about the fact that 'sehen' comes with the accusative case (direct object => what do we see?). Example: ich + Elefant ich sehe einen Elefant.
Exercise Try to guess the plural form of all the animals above. Thereby, remember the following things: 1) The plural definite article is always 'die'. 2) Endings in the plural usually contain an 'e'. 3) For some nouns, the stem changes from 'a' to 'ä', 'o' to 'ö', or 'u' to 'ü' (umlaut change). Example: der Hund die Hunde
