Things nobody warns you about before learning German. 🇩🇪
The dictionary says 𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘩 means "actually."
But native speakers use it to mean approximately seven different things depending on tone.
The textbook teaches you 𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦.
Then you discover it also means here you go, you're welcome, pardon, and go ahead. Same word with completely different moments.
You learn 𝘥𝘰𝘤𝘩 means "but."
Then someone uses it to contradict a negative and the sentence stops making sense in a way you weren't prepared for.
You finally feel confident about word order.
Then a subordinate clause shows up and moves the verb to the end of a sentence that is already three lines long.
Just when you think you understand the pattern, a new rule quietly breaks it.
