Lesson Vocabulary & Phrases
Hallo!
hah-loh
Hello!
Ich heiße...
eech hys-uh
My name is...
Wie heißt du?
vee hyst doo
What is your name?
💬 With [du], the verb changes shape: [heißen] becomes [heißt] in [Wie heißt du?]. Same pattern: [wohnt] in [Wo wohnst du?] uses a different ending too.
See breakdown →Ich bin
ikh bin
I'm
Freut mich, dich kennenzulernen
froyt mikh dikh ken-en-tsu-layr-nen
Nice to meet you
💬 [Freut mich] literally works like [pleased me], so German often says this instead of a word-for-word [nice to meet you]. [Dich kennenzulernen] is the [du] version; with formal [Sie], it becomes [Sie kennenzulernen].
🇩🇪 Good for first meetings in a bar if the tone is warm but not too forward. It sounds more natural in Germany than a direct translation of English small-talk lines.
See breakdown →Kommst du
komst doo
Do you come
💬 Yes/no questions in German often put the verb first: [Kommst du?] instead of [Du kommst?]. Same pattern: [Trinkst du Wein?]
See breakdown →Öfter hierher?
urf-ter hee-ar-hair
Here often?
💬 [Hierher] means movement toward here, not just location. Compare [bist du oft hier?] = you're often here, but [kommst du oft hierher?] = you come here often.
See breakdown →Kommst du öfter hierher?
komst doo urf-ter hee-ar-hair
Do you come here often?
💬 Yes/no questions in German often put the verb first: [Kommst du öfter hierher?] Same pattern: [Gehst du oft tanzen?]
🇩🇪 This is a standard opener, but it can sound a bit generic or rehearsed if dropped too early. It lands better after a little shared context, like talking about the bar or the drinks.
