Key Grammar Structures
-
Die Tapete löst sich von der Wand ab
➔ Separable Verb
➔ The verb is "ablösen" (to detach), and "ab-" is the separable prefix. In the main clause, the prefix moves to the end: "Die Tapete löst sich von der Wand **ab**".
-
Früher waren wir neu, jetzt sind wir standard
➔ Comparative Adverbs of Time (Früher)
➔ "Früher" means "earlier" or "in the past," used here to contrast the past with the present. It indicates a change in state over time.
-
Und dann so wenig blieb
➔ Subjunctive II (Implied)
➔ While the subjunctive form isn't explicitly used, the context implies a sense of regret or unreality. It could be understood as "Und dann so wenig **bliebe**," suggesting a wish for things to be different. The sentence expresses the sad reality that very little is left of something.
-
Was wollen wir noch hier unten?
➔ Interrogative Pronoun (Was) with Modal Verb (wollen)
➔ "Was" is the interrogative pronoun meaning "what". "Wollen" is the modal verb meaning "want to". The structure expresses a question about purpose or reason for remaining in a certain place.
-
Komm wir fangen mit 'nem Schluss an
➔ Imperative (Komm) + Subjunctive I (fangen)
➔ "Komm" is the imperative of "kommen" (to come), used here as an invitation or suggestion. The use of "fangen" is a conjugated form, suggesting a proposal or joint intention to begin something – specifically a "Schluss" (end), meaning to start with an end, or a conclusion.
-
Weil es damals so schön war
➔ Subordinate Clause with "weil" (because)
➔ "Weil" introduces a subordinate clause that provides the reason for the main clause. The verb "war" (was) is at the end of the clause, which is typical in German subordinate clauses.
