German Language - Vocabulary (A1)

Clarification: The correct definite article for 'Atom' is 'Das', making it 'das Atom'. 'Der' and 'Den' are masculine articles, and 'Die' is the feminine or plural article.

Clarification: The correct plural form of 'Meter' in German is 'Meter', the same as the singular. 'Meters' is the English plural, and 'Metern' and 'Metere' are incorrect forms.

Clarification: 'Nacht' means 'Night' in English. 'Tag' would mean 'Day', 'Morgen' means 'Morning', and 'Abend' means 'Evening'.

Clarification: 'Sie ist glücklich.' means 'She is happy.' The other options translate to 'She is sad', 'She is tired', and 'She is angry', which do not match the meaning of 'She is happy'.

Clarification: 'Ihre' is used for feminine or plural nouns. 'Ihre Katze' is correct because 'Katze' is a feminine noun. 'Hund' and 'Apfel' are masculine, so they would use 'ihr', and 'Auto' is neuter, using 'ihr' as well.

Clarification: The verb 'bauen' means 'to build', so 'Ich baue ein Haus.' ('I am building a house.') is correct. You don't build a book, apple, or dog.

Clarification: The sentence 'Ich gehe zum Tanz.' means 'I am going to the dance.' 'Essen' (eating), 'Schlafen' (sleeping), and 'Lernen' (learning) do not fit contextually in the sentence.

Clarification: In color theory, 'Rot' (red) is often considered the opposite of 'Blau' (blue). 'Gelb' (yellow), 'Grün' (green), and 'Schwarz' (black) are not opposites of blue.

Clarification: 'Glas' refers to a 'drinking glass' made of glass material. A chair, spoon, and sweater are not made of glass and thus are incorrect.

Clarification: 'Meine' is a possessive pronoun in German that translates to 'my' in English. It indicates possession related to the speaker. The other options refer to possession by different people.

Clarification: The correct phrase is 'eine Rose' because 'Rose' is feminine and the indefinite article for feminine nouns in nominative case is 'eine'. 'Ein', 'einen', and 'einem' are used for masculine or neuter nouns in different cases.

Clarification: The German word 'Arm' translates to 'arm' in English, referring to the upper limb of the human body. 'Hand' is 'Hand', 'Leg' is 'Bein', and 'Head' is 'Kopf' in German.

Clarification: The correct phrase is 'Guten Abend!' which means 'Good evening!' in English. 'Guten Morgen' means 'Good morning', 'Guten Tag' means 'Good day', and 'Gute Nacht' means 'Good night'.

Clarification: Sentence b is correct as 'Krieg' refers to 'war', which fits the context of declaring war. The other sentences use 'Krieg' in contexts that don't make sense.

Clarification: 'Zum Schluss' means 'finally' or 'in the end'. The other options are incorrect because they use incorrect prepositions or forms with 'Schluss'.

Clarification: 'Bürste' means 'brush' in English. The other options are incorrect translations: 'Bottle' is 'Flasche', 'Book' is 'Buch', and 'Bicycle' is 'Fahrrad'.

Clarification: A 'Stall' is a place for animals, specifically a stable. It is not a place for worship, shopping, or eating.

Clarification: As the sun sets, the 'Schatten' or shadow disappears because there is no light source to cast a shadow. Shadows do not get warmer, become lights, or make noises, making these options incorrect.

Clarification: The sentence 'I need more Tinte for my printer.' correctly uses 'Tinte' to refer to ink needed for printing. The other sentences incorrectly associate 'Tinte' with cutting, drawing directly (without specifying a tool), or being used with a pencil.

Clarification: The phrase 'aus Samt' means 'made of velvet'. Therefore, the correct answer is 'b'. 'Leather' is 'Leder', 'Plastic' is 'Plastik', and 'Wood' is 'Holz' in German.

Clarification: You would 'invest in' an 'Aktie' as it is a share or stock. It is not something you can eat, wear, or sit on, which makes the other options incorrect.

Clarification: A 'Ritual' often involves tradition and repetitive ceremonies, like a traditional dance. Cooking, sleeping, and running aren't typically considered rituals unless they have significant cultural or ceremonial value.

Clarification: Conducting experiments ('a') is an activity related to 'Forschung' because it involves research. Playing soccer, shopping for clothes, and baking a cake are not typically associated with research.

Clarification: The word 'Deck' is commonly used in the context of a ship, referring to the floor or surface where people can stand or walk. The other options are not related to ships and therefore do not fit the usage of 'Deck'.

Clarification: A 'Hinweis' can be related to 'advice', 'suggestion', or 'instruction' as they all involve giving a hint or directive. 'Mountain' has no relation to the meaning of 'Hinweis'.
