German Language - Vocabulary (A1)

Clarification: The word 'Blut' (blood) is closely associated with 'Vampir', as vampires are mythically known to drink blood. 'Wasser' (water), 'Sonne' (sun), and 'Brot' (bread) are not directly related.

Clarification: Dogs are commonly associated with bones as they enjoy chewing and playing with them. Cats, birds, and fish do not have the same association with bones.

Clarification: Cooking is an activity often done near a 'Feuer' (fire), especially when grilling or using a campfire. Swimming, writing, and singing are not specifically associated with fire.

Clarification: Sentence b means 'That is exactly right', which is a correct use of 'genau'. In sentence a, 'genau' does not fit with 'schnell' (fast). Sentence c is awkward in context and sentence d is incorrect as 'genau' does not describe water.

Clarification: The word 'Reis' does not typically have a distinct plural form in German because it is a mass noun. The other options are incorrect forms.

Clarification: The correct form is 'zahle', as the subject 'Ich' (I) requires the verb to be in the first person singular present tense. 'Zahlen' is the infinitive, 'zahlt' is third person singular present, and 'zahlst' is second person singular present.

Clarification: A 'U-Bahn' is typically used for traveling quickly within a city, as it is an urban subway system. It is not used for air travel (a), ocean travel (c), or rural roads (d).

Clarification: 'The Kellner served us drinks at the restaurant.' is correct because a waiter serves food and drinks. The other options incorrectly describe a cook, driver, and manager.

Clarification: 'Was' is used to ask 'what' in German. The correct question is 'Was machst du?' meaning 'What are you doing?'. 'B' would use 'wer', 'C' would use 'wo', and 'D' would use 'wann'.

Clarification: 'Stern' in German translates to 'Star' in English. The other options are different celestial bodies: 'Sun' is 'Sonne', 'Moon' is 'Mond', and 'Planet' is 'Planet'.

Clarification: 'Pille' is related to medication, so it's used in a pharmacy context. The other contexts (garden, car dealership, bakery) are unrelated to the word 'Pille'.

Clarification: 'Krankenhaus' means 'hospital', which is related to 'Patient' as patients are often found in hospitals. 'Bäckerei' means 'bakery', 'Schule' means 'school', and 'Kino' means 'cinema', none of which are directly related to medical care.

Clarification: The correct sentence is 'Ich habe ein Buch über Mathematik.' meaning 'I have a book about mathematics.' The other sentences incorrectly use 'Mathematik' as food, an animal, or a drink, which doesn't make sense.

Clarification: The sentence 'I have a Porträt of my family on the wall.' correctly uses 'Porträt' to refer to a picture or painting of people. The other options incorrectly use 'Porträt' as a verb or in contexts where it doesn't belong.

Clarification: A 'Büffel' is a large animal with horns. The other options describe an insect, a fish, and a tree, none of which are correct.

Clarification: 'To say' is translated as 'sagen' in German. The other options are incorrect: 'trinken' means 'to drink', 'laufen' means 'to run', and 'lesen' means 'to read'.

Clarification: 'Brücke' is a feminine noun in German, so the correct definite article is 'Die'. 'Der' is for masculine nouns, 'Das' is for neuter nouns, and 'Den' is used for masculine accusative cases.

Clarification: Option a is the correct translation. 'Deren' is used for 'whose' when referring to plural possessive ('Kinder' and 'Bücher'). 'Dessen' is incorrect for plural, and option d uses the singular 'Buch', which doesn't match the English sentence.

Clarification: 'Sachen' is a synonym for 'Zeug', both meaning 'things' or 'stuff'. The other options are specific items: 'Tisch' (table), 'Hund' (dog), and 'Buch' (book), not synonymous with 'Zeug'.

Clarification: The word 'Schlucht' translates to 'canyon' in English, describing a deep, narrow gorge with steep sides. A 'valley' (b) is broader, a 'forest' (a) is a wooded area, and a 'river' (d) is a flowing body of water.

Clarification: The sentence 'Das Geräusch war sehr laut.' means 'The noise was very loud.' It correctly uses 'Geräusch' in the context of sound. The other sentences incorrectly use 'Geräusch' as if it could be eaten or drunk, which is not possible.

Clarification: 'Plattform' is a feminine noun in German, so the correct article is 'Die'. 'Der' and 'Das' are articles for masculine and neuter nouns, respectively. 'Den' is used in the accusative case for masculine nouns.

Clarification: A 'Mieter' is a 'tenant' or 'renter', the person who pays the rent ('Miete'). 'Vermieter' is the 'landlord', 'Käufer' means 'buyer', and 'Verkäufer' means 'seller'.

Clarification: Option a is correct because 'Schicksal' meaning 'fate' can refer to the story or outcome of a book. The other options incorrectly use 'Schicksal' as a tangible object or food.

Clarification: 'Auslöser' in German means 'trigger' in English. It does not mean 'lamp', 'chair', or 'window', which are 'Lampe', 'Stuhl', and 'Fenster' respectively in German.

Clarification: 'Er ging in die Schule.' is correct because 'ging' is the past tense form of 'gehen'. 'Geht' is present tense, 'gegangen' is the past participle, and 'gehen' is the infinitive.

Clarification: A 'realen' story refers to a true story, as 'realen' means 'real'. 'Fictional', 'scary', and 'funny' do not accurately describe a 'realen' story.

Clarification: A 'Universität' is similar to a 'School' because both are educational institutions. A hospital is for medical care, a market is for shopping, and a cinema is for watching movies.

Clarification: The correct sentence is 'Ich male eine Ruine.' ('I am painting a ruin.'). 'Wohne' means 'live', 'esse' means 'eat', and 'trinke' means 'drink', which are not typically actions associated with 'ruin'.

Clarification: The word 'Panzer' refers to a tank, which is primarily used in military operations, not in cooking, gardening, or poetry.
