Changing the Ending
We’ve seen how the words before nouns have different endings in German, like einen Garten or eine Frau. Some nouns change their endings too!
There’s a group of masculine nouns that end with ‑e, such as der Junge or der Name. These nouns add an ‑n to the end when in the accusative.
Der Name ist gut.
The name is good.
Kennst du seinen Namen?
Do you know his name?
The name is good.
Kennst du seinen Namen?
Do you know his name?
Types of People
There are a few different words in German for people!
Menschen are technically humans, human beings, or mankind.
Leute is a large group of people (and it’s always plural).
Person literally means person! You can also use Personen to refer to a group of people small enough to count.
