Hier ist es ganz schön laut, oder?
It’s pretty loud here, isn’t it?
Ja, ein bisschen. Ich höre dich kaum.
Yes, a little. I can barely hear you.
Ich rede aber gern mit dir weiter.
But I’d still like to keep talking with you.
Das freut mich. Ich auch.
That makes me happy. Me too.

Lesson Vocabulary & Phrases
Hier ist es
heer ist ess
It is here
Ganz schön laut
gahnts shern lowt
Pretty loud
💬 [ganz schön] often means "pretty" or "quite," not literally "completely beautiful." You can reuse it the same way in [ganz schön teuer] or [ganz schön voll].
See breakdown →Oder?
OH-der
Right?
🇩🇪 [oder?] at the end softens the statement and invites agreement, like a friendly check-in. In flirting, that makes this sound less blunt than just stating the problem.
See breakdown →Hier ist es ganz schön laut, oder?
heer ist ess gahnts shern lowt OH-der
It's pretty loud here, isn't it?
🇩🇪 This is a natural, low-pressure way to suggest moving without sounding too direct. In a bar, blaming the noise is a common and socially easy reason to shift somewhere more private.
See breakdown →Ein bisschen
ine BISS-khen
A little
Ich höre dich
ikh HER-uh dikh
I hear you
💬 [dich] is the form of [du] used after the verb here: [Ich höre dich]. Swap in other people the same way: [Ich höre ihn] or [Ich höre euch].
See breakdown →Kaum
kowm
Hardly
💬 [kaum] often goes late in the sentence, after the thing it limits: [Ich höre dich kaum]. Same pattern: [Ich kenne ihn kaum].
See breakdown →Ich höre dich kaum.
ikh HER-uh dikh kowm
I can barely hear you.
🇩🇪 This works well as a practical reason to move somewhere else, but it can also sound like interest: you want to hear them properly. In a flirting context, that usually lands warmer than a plain complaint about the bar.
See breakdown →Ich rede gern
ikh RAY-duh ghearn
I like talking
💬 [gern] with a verb means you like doing something: [ich rede gern], [ich tanze gern], [ich höre gern zu]. It is not an adjective here, just a handy way to say what you enjoy.
