Konjunktiv in German
This is part of the Langblr reactivation challenge! This is day 9 :)
Write an explanation on a grammar rule in your target language (such as verb tenses, exceptions, word order, etc). Include sentences to show how and when it is used.
Sooo Konjunktiv, we finally meet.
Aka this is the Konjunktiv post that nobody asked me to write and yet I did. This is the English version, but you can also find the German version here (I can't promise that it will be more understandable tho) :)
Konjunktiv I is used for indirect speech. There are also some fixed situations in which one always uses Konjunktiv I. The main verb is only conjugated in the present tense; the auxiliary verbs are conjugated for the other tenses.
The verb sein is regular in Konjunktiv I: ich sei, du seiest, er sei, wir seien, ihr seiet, sie seien.
The rest of verbs are conjugated with the following pattern:
The third person singular is the most used, because it's the most frequent form in indirect speech. In order to conjugate it, one must remove the -n from the infinitive form: haben - er habe.
The modal verbs are also regular in the 1st and 3rd person singular: ich/er/sie/es müsse.
2nd person singular and plural are different from the indicative only by an -e: du gehst - du gehest/ihr geht - ihr gehet.
The 1st person singular and 1st and 3rd persons plural are the same as the indicative, so one must use the Konjunktiv II for situations when these persons are needed.
One can build sentences in the past, present and future with Konjunktiv I :
Simultaneity. The main and subordinate clauses occur at the same time: er sagt, sie lese ein Buch.
Anteriority. The subordinate occurs before the main clause: er sagt, sie habe ein Buch gelesen.
Posteriority - Futur I and II. The subordinate occurs in the future of the main clause: er sagt, sie werde ein Buch lesen/er sagt, sie werde ein Buch gelesen haben.
To speak about things that are impossible or unlikely, we use Konjunktiv II, but also for indirect speech and other situations:
Wishes and hopes.
Unreal statements or conditional sentences.
As previously explained, indirect speech (when Konkunktiv I isn't possible)
Particularly polite or careful requests or statements
There is one pure form of Konjunktiv II, for the present, and several forms with auxiliary verbs.
For the present, only strong verbs are conjugated in Konjunktiv II, because the subjunctive form in weak verbs is the same as indicative Präteritum. In order to conjugate strong verbs in Konjunktiv II, one must add the subjunctive endings (-e, -est, -e, -en, -et, -en) to the Präteritum root. Additionally, the verbs that have an a/o/u receive an Umlaut:
ich fände, du fändest, er fände, wir fänden, ihr fändet, sie fänden.
The modal and auxiliary verbs are also conjugated in Präteritum in Konjunktiv II:
ich wäre/ich hätte/ich würde/ich könnte/ich dürfte/ich müsste/ich sollte/ich wollte...
But many people already know these forms! They are the ones used for polite requests: ich hätte gerne...
The other tenses are conjugated with auxiliary verbs:
For situations in the future, but also for those in the present, one can use würden + infinitive. This is also the only form can be used for the present in weak verbs: ich würde warten.
Plusquamperfekt is constructed with haben or sein in Konjunktiv II + the participle of the verb. It's the past tense: ich hätte gefunden/ich wäre gegangen.
There is a second future form, Futur II, which is built with würde + participle + haben/sein: ich würde geträumt haben.
Thank you very very much to @dreamofghosts for the corrections and help in making sense of this....... interesting topic lol!!

Hello!! I'm excited to read all about your year on this new blog! :) hope you start your new year nice!
Thanks Sophie! My actual start to the new year was a bit rocky just because I was trying to clear out all my stuff from my house in the UK and I ended up fighting with my ex, my dad and my mum. But I'm discounting all that and counting my start to the new year as from the 2nd.
And it was a great start to the new year! The sky was beautiful as we flew over Estonia and the world below was a winter wonderland. The food on my flights was surprisingly good, and I managed to finish a whole book! Now I'm home in Yamagata and I'm very excited to get back to work and really throw myself into the life I've chosen with no ties to the past; only a whole lot of opportunities in my future :D
I hope you have a great start to your new year too!

Another self induced stressful day. I only had one lesson since majority of my teachers were off, so I mainly did biology revison in my frees, speaking of biology I’ve done 30 minutes of revison this evening since I was not in a good mood so I’m very nervous for this test.

omg hell yeah Piranesi 5 stars!! yay!
YESSS!!!!! I didn't know anything about the book beforehand so it took me completely by suprise. I love Piranesi as a main character so much and I am also obsessing over how it takes many ingredients that I love in a story (e.g. "the house is alive") but instead of having it be a horror story it's...very blissfull actually?
I also read somewhere that Susanne Clarke loves going on long walks and tried to experience that via Piranesi when she struggling with chronic fatigue and I can really relate to that. So yes, 5 stars!!!!!! I loved it a lot!!!!

hello hello I saw you starting under the dome!!! and it's my favorite stephen king book. it's just so good! I hope you enjoy it :D
Hi hello! :D
I already read it when I was 15 and loved it back then but now I wanted to get back to it to see how I like it over a decade later.
I also started it because I am currently listening to Just King Things, a podcast by two people whose media analysis I love very much where they read through the entire bibliography of Stephen King book by book in publication order. I am not even a King fan, but those two could make a podcast analysing the texts on the backs of shampoo bottles and I would immediately subscribe. So I am very curious what I think of the book after following their podcast!

🧸 Favorite place to nap?
☕ Coffee or tea?
Thanks for the ask ✨
🧸 Favorite place to nap?
Believe it or not, I'm not a big napper (even though I run on very few hours of sleep because of insomnia, on most days). But. 2 meaningful and oddly specific place in my nap life: the beat-up couch in my former students' society, known as the royal nap couch from the time I was president of the society; and the couch of the hotel we used to go on comitee weekend trip. Something in the angle of the armrest with the couch made it the best nap spot I've ever had.
☕ Coffee or tea?
Definitely coffee! The warmth of my heart. I've been living in the UK for six months now and I drank tea on two (2) occasions only: one was proper English Breakfast, the other was authentic Indian chai.

Langblr reactivation challenge #1
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Create an introduction post about yourself. What's your name? What languages are you studying? What languages do you hope to study? What do you hope you'll get out of this challenge?
Hallo zusammen! Ich bin Al, aus Spanien, und lerne gerne seit Jahre Deutsch: ich habe ein Jahr in der Schule Deutsch gelernt, dann habe ich vier Jahre lang nur selbstgelernt, später bin ich nach Deutschland umgezogen... aber jetzt bin ich wieder in Spanien und möchte es nicht verlieren, deshalb nehme ich sehr gerne an dieser Challenge teil :) Im Moment promoviere ich in Biochemie und studiere die letzten zwei Semester English Studies, deswegen habe ich leider keine Zeit, um mich für einen Sprachkurs anzumelden. Neben Deutsch sollte ich vielleicht auch mit Französisch anfangen, da ich die Möglichkeit hätte, für eine kurze Zeit in ein französisches Labor zu gehen...
Hi everyone! This is Al, from Spain, and I've been learning German for quite a few years now: I took one year in high school, then did some self-studying for four years, and later I moved to Germany! But now I'm back in Spain and I don't want to lose all those improvements. That's why I'm so excited to take part in this challenge :) right now I'm doing my PhD in biochemistry and I'm also studying the last year of English studies, so I sadly don't have time to sign up for a language course. Besides German, I might have to start (re)learning french, because I just got the opportunity to go to a french lab for a short time...

Last couple of days were filled with blue skies and reading. Ignoring a literal existential crisis, I'm doing really well.
