In this lesson, we will explore how to form and answer yes or no questions in German—a key skill for everyday conversation. Questions like “Mast du Kaffee?” (Do you like coffee?) are simple yet essential for building natural dialogue.
In German, yes/no questions often follow the same word order as statements, but with a rise in intonation at the end. Sometimes, they begin with a verb, using a structure known as inversion. We’ll look at common examples, learn how to respond using “ja” (yes) or “nein” (no), and practice short answers with pronouns, such as “Ja, ich mag Kaffee.” or "Nein, ich trinke tee." By the end of this lesson, you'll feel more confident asking and understanding simple questions in real-life situations. Let's get started!
