Introduction – Einleitung

For each number, two forms are shown: (1) the cardinal number (Kardinalzahl -

1, 2, 3...) and (2)ordinal number (Ordinalzahl - 1st, 2nd, 3rd...). In some cases

the fractional number (Bruchzahl - 1/2, 1/5, 1/100...) is also given. (To make

fractions [Brüche], just add -tel or -el to the number:acht + el = achtel [an

eighth], zehn + tel = zehntel [a tenth].) Although the masculine (calendar date)

form is shown for the ordinal numbers, they can also be feminine (die), neuter

(das) or plural, depending on the noun they are used with: das erste Auto (the

first car), die zweite Tür (the second door), die ersten Menschen (the first

humans), etc.

When referring to individual numbers in German, you say "die zwei" (2) or "die

einundzwanzig" (21), short for "die Nummer/Zahl..." An example would be

naming the winning numbers for the lottery on television.

Page 9: German

Hören Sie zu!

0

0   null (zero, nought)

For decimal numbers (Dezimalzahlen), German uses a comma (das Komma)

where English uses a decimal point: 0.638 (English) = 0,638 (spoken: "null

Komma sechs drei acht") or 1.08 (English) = 1,08 (spoken: "eins Komma null

acht").

German expression: “in null Komma nichts” (“in 0,0”) = in an instant, in a flash

1   eins - der erste, der 1. (first)

one o'clock   ein Uhr (time, no ending on 'ein')

one/a clock   eine Uhr (article, -e ending on 'ein')

(date) on the first   am ersten

on 1 May, on May first, the first of May   am ersten Mai, am 1. Mai

2   zwei - der zweite, der 2. (second) - halb, die Hälfte (half, one-half)

Often the alternative form zwo is used to avoid confusion with drei.

3   drei - der dritte, der 3. (third) - drittel (one-third)

4   vier - der vierte (fourth) - viertel-, das Viertel (one-fourth, quarter)

5   fünf - der fünfte (fifth)

6   sechs - der sechste (sixth)

7   sieben - der siebte (seventh)

15   fünfzehn - der fünfzehnte (fifteenth) - am fünfzehnten

16   sechzehn - der sechzehnte (the sixteenth)

17   siebzehn - der siebzehnte (seventeenth)

20   zwanzig - der zwanzigste, der 20. (the twentieth, 20th) - am zwanzigsten

(Juni), am 20. (Juni) (on the 20th of June)

To say "in the twenties (the '20s)" - short for "the 1920s" - in German you say

"in den zwangziger Jahren." The same method is used for all the other

decades ('30s, '40s, etc.) except for the 1900s and the teens.

im Jahre: "Im Jahre 1350..." ("dreizehnhundertfünfzig" - "In the year 1350...") If

the word "Jahr" is left out, then the year is used by itself, with no "im" (in the) or

"in." Example: "He was born in 1958." = "Er ist im Jahre 1958 geboren." or "Er

ist 1958 geboren." Similarly: "Kolumbus hat 1492 Amerika entdeckt."

("vierzehnhundertzweiundneunzig" - "Columbus dicovered America in 1492.")

1900   neunzehnhundert (year, number)

2000   zweitausend (year, number; more below)

AD) and v.Chr. (vor Christus, BC). BCE/CE (Before the/Common Era) was used

thousand-first, 2001st)

Page 20: German

"In the year 2001" can be spoken/written in German as "im Jahre 2001" or "im

Jahr 2001" ("zweitausendeins"). If the word "Jahr" is left out, then the year is

used by itself, with no "im" (in the) or "in." Example: "He was born in (the year)

2001." = "Er ist im Jahre 2001 geboren." or "Er ist 2001 geboren."

2002   zweitausendzwei - der zweitausendzweite, der 2002. (the two-

thousand-first, 2002nd)

2004   zweitausendvier - der zweitausendvierte, der 2004. (the two-

thousand-fourth, 2004th)

100.000.(the hundred-thousandth, 100,000th)

1,000,000 (one million)   (eine) Million (1.000.000) - der millionste, der

2,000,000 (2 million)   zwei Millionen (2.000.000) - der zweimillionste, der

German Personal Pronouns

The German personal pronouns (er, ich, sie, es, du, wir, etc.) work in much

the same way as their English equivalents (he, I, she, it, you, we, etc.). When

we get to verb conjugation later, these words will be a key element that you

should know very well. Even here we have included some sample verb phrases

for many of the pronouns.

The pronouns listed below are in the nominative (subject) case. We will talk

about their other forms and different cases in a later lesson.

A special word about the "you" pronouns!

German, much more than English, makes a clear distinction between

formal you (Sie) and familiaryou (first name, du) in social situations. (Unlike

English, most European and other languages also have both a formal and a

familiar you.) In this regard, Germans tend to be more formal than English-

speakers and use first names only after a long period of getting to know each

other (sometimes years). This is a good example of how language and

Page 24: German

culture are intertwined, and you need to be aware of this to avoid embarassing

yourself and others. In the table below, the familiaryou forms (du, ihr) are

marked with the abbreviation "fam." to distinguish them from the

formalyou (Sie).

NOTE: German has three different forms of sie! Often the only way to tell which

one is meant is to notice the verb ending and/or the context in which the

pronoun is used. Even the capitalized Sie(you, formal) is tricky if it appears at

the beginning of a sentence. Lower-case sie can mean both "she" and

"they": sie ist (she is), sie sind (they are).
