  1. "There." “So.” “Joa.”
  2. Have you hearf these expressions or interjections, as they are used in linguistics as they are used in linguistics? Certainly, because Germans use them all the time.
  3. In this video I will introduce you to eight of these short interjections, that Germans use every day and that you therefore absolutely have to know. But before we start, I am of course looking forward, as always,
  4. if you like my video and subscribe (to my channel). I post new content about German language and culture every week. And if you are new to my channel -
  5. nice that you have found the way here. I am Clara, German teacher and telc examiner with my own online German language school.
  6. And my mission is to teach you the German language as simply, authentically and "entertainingly" as possible. OK, enough chatting. Now let's get started.
  7. “Well”, like in: “Well, I told you so.” or “Well, if you don’t want to listen, you have to feel.”
  8. If we use this interjection, then we have a certain attitude towards our conversation partner -
  9. or to what he or she has just said. We want to say to her or him: “I told you so.” This shows that we predicted the result of an action or event
  10. , but nobody wanted to listen to us. Example: “You didn’t pass the exam?
  11. Well, you should have studied more. I told you so.” But sometimes it is also used with a
  12. A pause for thought and also a certain amount of skepticism. For example: “The election results were surprising.
  13. Well ..." Let’s move on to the next interjection: "Well...."
  14. “Well,” is varied. We can use it when someone asks us how to find something and we would like to say that it is not bad, but not really good either.
  15. For example: "Are you all right?" "So-so."
  16. But it also expresses a certain scepticism and it can also stand alone. Example:
  17. “The new boss is very competent, isn’t he?” "Well...if you say so..." Means: “I don’t know.
  18. I see it a little differently.” Or another example: “The movie was great, wasn’t it?”
  19. “Well, apart from the action scenes, I found it rather boring.” But we use “well” also to explain something to someone in more detail.
  20. Example: "What do you mean?" “Well, if we cancel the flights now
  21. book, then we save 230€.” "Ah, understood." And now my favorite.
  22. Or rather: “So, now for my favorite.” Namely the interjection “so”.
  23. Important! The “o” is pronounced short in many cases. So not [so], but [soː], although of course there are both variants. I’ll go into that in more detail in a moment.
  24. The most well-known meaning or use of “so” is when you want to say goodbye. Imagine you are sitting in a circle and want to go home, so instead of quietly To stand up and say goodbye, you make an announcement with:
  25. “So!” and slaps your thighs. “So! I’m leaving now. I’m leaving.” We also use “So” during a
  26. Topic break or when we change to another thing and want to announce or when we again
  27. want to come back to a topic and just catch the attention of others. Examples:
  28. “So, now back to the topic. We still have to clarify how we will organize the trip.” Or:
  29. “Okay, guys, pay attention! I need your tickets now.” Or: “So, on to the next chapter.”
  30. But if we mean “so” with a long If you say “o”, it often implies a question. Especially when someone explains or shows us something and
  31. we want to make sure we do it right. Example: “You have to butter the springform pan beforehand. But not too much.”
  32. “Like that?” "Yes exactly!" You notice that this is more about
  33. a question, a “to make sure” that you are doing something right. And while we’re on the subject of “so,” we can move on to our next favorite word, “ach so.” I think this is probably the most typical German expression,
  34. that everyone knows across borders, even if they have never been to Germany. I also have a little anecdote about this. When I was a student and I spent my semester in Rome,
  35. I was walking in a park and there sat a small group of older gentlemen, around 70/80 years old. And they sat there with their walking sticks on the bench
  36. and as I was passing by, they seemed to determine my origin based on the color of my hair, they suddenly started shouting “Oh, I see, I see.” And they started giggling like little children.
  37. I also found the whole thing very funny and replied with “Oh, I see!”. And then we all laughed. Then we made a little small talk and I moved on.
  38. But what exactly is this “oh, I see”? Quite simply: It is an exclamation or an interjection that you use when you have understood something
  39. or when you learn something surprising. For example: “No, you have to solve the problem differently.
  40. You have to do it like this.” “Oh, now I understand.” Or example of surprise:
  41. “No, we are not coming to your birthday. We’re going on a trip around the world.” “Oh, I see. I didn’t know that.
  42. Too bad." If we stretch the “o” at the end, it means: “I understand.” - “Oh, I see.”
  43. And if it is shorter, then it means: “Really?” or “That’s news to me.” or “That’s surprising.” Also: “Ach so.”
  44. The next interjection is “joa” and has a similar meaning to “well”. It is derived from the word “yes” and we use it
  45. when we are not entirely convinced about something. Basically, it no longer has anything to do with “yes”, but much more with “well, yes”, as just mentioned. Sometimes we even use “yeah” and “well” in combination.
  46. That's kind of a double whammy, but we'll do it anyway. For example: “Yeah, well, it was okay, but nothing special.”
  47. Or examples for just “yeah”: “The presentation of our new employee was really good, wasn't it?
  48. “Yeah, it was okay.” Or: "Are you all right?"
  49. “Yeah, it’s fine.” So you see, when we use the interjection “joa”, This is followed by something that is not quite as euphoric and not quite as positive.
  50. We continue with “eijeijeij” or “uijuijuij”. And have you ever heard these exclamations? They have largely the same meaning.
  51. And are used when you want to describe a situation observed that is negative or extreme in any way. It also expresses a bit of sarcasm, for example:
  52. “Oh my gosh, someone is mad.” Or: “Uiuiui, someone is angry.”
  53. It is also used when something bad happens. For example: “Do you see the man painting the wall?
  54. The paint splatters on his car. Eijeijeij.” This expression is often accompanied by a specific gesture, such as shaking your head.
  55. "Eeeeeeeeee." Or you can put your hand on your forehead or cheek. So was who “Eijeijeijeijeij.”.
  56. The next interjection can be be used in different ways. be used in different ways.
  57. On the one hand, it implies that one is surprised and once that you dismiss a topic, so because you are perhaps frustrated or
  58. you are no longer interested in talking about it. Example of surprises and amazement: “We’ve known each other since kindergarten.”
  59. "Oh really? Wow. That’s a long time.” Or you want to drop a topic:
  60. “Oh come on, let’s not discuss it any further. There is no use." As you can see, we also like to combine
  61. sometimes “oh” and “come”: “Oh come on, stop it.” The latter is underlined, as you have just seen, with this hand gesture.
  62. “Oh come on.” or “Ah.” And finally another interjection, which is heard especially in the north of Germany, namely “Ne?”
  63. or occasionally “Not?”. They are used after declarative sentences that are actually meant as questions. And this interjection then replaces “Or?” or “Isn’t it?”.
  64. Example: “The weather is really nice, isn’t it?” Or:
  65. “The food tastes really good, doesn’t it?” In the south it is used less frequently, there “gell” is used instead.
  66. “The weather is really nice, isn’t it?” And in Berlin, by the way, they say “wa”. “The weather is really nice, isn’t it?”
  67. So, depending on the region and dialect, a different interjection is used. And voilá, with this information you are already at native speaker level.
  68. That's how quickliy it goes. I really hope you enjoyed this video and see you next time. And by the way, before I forget, if you want to know more about colloquial language and expressions,
  69. that you don’t learn in German class, take a look at Be sure to check out my book “Learning German for Everyday Life”. I have linked it for you below this video.
  70. Until next time. 😊
