German Language - Vocabulary (A1)

Clarification: 'Hoffen' is commonly used with 'dass' and 'auf'. 'Mit' is not typical but possible in some contexts. 'Für' is not commonly used with 'hoffen' to express hope. Instead, 'auf' or 'dass' would be used to indicate what you are hoping for.

Clarification: 'Ich habe Angst vor Spinnen.' means 'I am afraid of spiders.' This is the correct use of 'Angst'. The other sentences are incorrect because they do not use proper grammar or context: 'das Buch' (the book) and 'Wasser' (water) are not correctly linked with 'Angst' without a preposition, and 'gern' (gladly) does not fit with 'Angst'.

Clarification: The verb 'springen' means 'to jump'. The correct sentence is 'Wir springen über den Fluss.' meaning 'We jump over the river.' Other options use 'springen' incorrectly as you cannot 'jump' a book, food, or music.

Clarification: The word 'fröhlich' is a synonym for 'glücklich', both meaning 'happy'. 'Traurig' means 'sad', 'ängstlich' means 'anxious', and 'müde' means 'tired', none of which are synonyms for 'happy'.

Clarification: The correct article for 'Information' is 'die', as it is a feminine noun in German. 'Der' is used for masculine nouns, 'das' for neuter nouns, and 'den' is the accusative form of 'der'.

Clarification: The correct sentence is 'I pack my clothes in the Koffer.' because a suitcase is used for packing clothes. Writing, sitting, or reading are not activities typically associated with a suitcase.

Clarification: The sentence 'Die Pflanze ist tot.' means 'The plant is dead.' This is the correct usage of 'tot' to describe a non-living plant. The other options use adjectives that do not describe a dead plant.

Clarification: A 'Woche' has seven days. The days of the week in German are Montag (Monday), Dienstag (Tuesday), Mittwoch (Wednesday), Donnerstag (Thursday), Freitag (Friday), Samstag (Saturday), and Sonntag (Sunday).

Clarification: 'Wagen' is a masculine noun, so the correct definite article in the nominative case is 'Der'. 'Die' is for feminine nouns, 'Das' for neuter nouns, and 'Den' is the accusative case for masculine nouns.

Clarification: Pigs are known for grunting, which is the sound described by 'grunzen'. Cows moo, cats meow, and birds chirp, which are different sounds.

Clarification: The verb 'kühlen' means to cool, so 'Ich kühle das Essen im Kühlschrank' (I cool the food in the fridge) is correct. Option 'b' suggests cooling the car, which is possible but unusual without context. Options 'c' and 'd' incorrectly use 'kühlen' with actions that do not involve cooling.

Clarification: 'Door' is not a synonym for 'Abdeckung'. 'Lid', 'Cover', and 'Shield' can all be related to the concept of covering something, whereas a 'Door' is a separate object used for entry or exit.

Clarification: The sentence 'Ich öffne die Tür.' translates to 'I open the door.' This is a correct use of 'Tür'. 'Essen' means 'to eat', 'trinken' means 'to drink', and 'hören' means 'to hear', which do not logically fit with 'door'.

Clarification: 'Aussicht' means 'view' in English. It refers to what you can see from a particular place, often a scenic or panoramic view. The other options are unrelated translations.

Clarification: The verb 'messen' means 'to measure' in English. The other options are translations for different German verbs: 'essen' means 'to eat', 'schreiben' means 'to write', and 'singen' means 'to sing'.

Clarification: The plural form of 'Erklärung' is 'Erklärungen'. In German, many nouns add '-en' for the plural, not '-ens' or '-s'. 'Erklärung' is the singular form.

Clarification: 'Suche' means 'Search' in English. The other options are unrelated translations: 'Haus' for 'House', 'Baum' for 'Tree', and 'Hund' for 'Dog'.

Clarification: 'Geschwindigkeit' is used to describe speed, so it is appropriate when discussing how fast a train travels. It is not related to color ('b'), flavor ('c'), or height ('d').

Clarification: 'Aspekt' means 'Aspect' in English. The other options are incorrect because 'Apple' is 'Apfel', 'Actor' is 'Schauspieler', and 'Artist' is 'Künstler' in German.

Clarification: You would not typically find 'Basketballs' in a 'Bibliothek' because it is a place for reading and studying. 'Books', 'Computers', and 'Chairs' are common items found in a library.

Clarification: 'Der gesamte Preis' is the correct translation for 'the total cost'. The adjective 'gesamt' should agree with the noun 'Preis', thus 'gesamte'. 'Die', 'das', and 'der gesamt' are incorrect due to gender and adjective agreement.

Clarification: 'Erwachsenenalter' means 'adulthood', which is the opposite life stage of 'Kindheit' (childhood). 'Geburt' means 'birth', 'Jugend' means 'youth', and 'Freundschaft' means 'friendship', none of which are opposites of 'Kindheit'.

Clarification: The correct answer is 'The Wurm is crawling in the soil.' Worms typically crawl in soil. 'Wurm' does not fly, bark, or swim, so options a, c, and d are incorrect.

Clarification: The sentence 'Meine Geburt war in einem Krankenhaus' translates to 'My birth was in a hospital'. It refers to the event of birth, not a birthday, wedding, or graduation.

Clarification: Sentence b is correct because 'Bewohner' describes someone who lives in a building. Sentences a, c, and d incorrectly use 'Bewohner' to describe a teacher, a visitor, and someone at the zoo.

Clarification: 'Labor' in German translates to 'Laboratory' in English. The other options, such as 'Dog', 'Book', and 'Chair', are unrelated to the meaning of 'Labor'.

Clarification: In a historical context, 'Society' is a synonym for 'Civilization' as both refer to structured communities. 'Individual', 'Animal', and 'Nature' do not specifically relate to the concept of a structured human society.

Clarification: 'Freund' is a synonym for 'Kamerad', both meaning 'friend'. 'Feind' means 'enemy', 'Auto' means 'car', and 'Haus' means 'house', so they are not synonyms of 'Kamerad'.

Clarification: 'Ich habe Ärger in der Schule.' means 'I have trouble at school.' 'Freund' means 'friend', 'Hunger' means 'hunger', and 'Licht' means 'light', which do not fit the context of the sentence.

Clarification: 'Multiplizieren' means 'to multiply' in English. 'To add' is 'addieren', 'to divide' is 'dividieren', and 'to subtract' is 'subtrahieren' in German.
