| She eats the bread. | Sie ißt das Brot. I guess we use more often 'Brot' without article, since generally 'das Brot' refers to a whole loaf of bread. It can however also refer to a specific slice of bread, we talked about. The bread I made for her, the bread next to her plate ... Then again in spoken language you would rather use a local dialect word for the slice of bread, as 'Stulle' (Berlin), Schnitte (Northern Germany),Bemme (Sachsen), Butterschmier (Saarland), Bütterken (Lower Rhein), Knifte (a bit more to the west), Donge (at the border to Rheinland Pfalz)... Don't kill yourself by trying to memorize all those. I myself just knew about 2 of them :D |

| I don't see the car. | Ich sehe das Auto nicht. Actually for this one particular sentence a different word order sounds more natural.
As it is it would be insisting on the fact that you can't see the car, like s.o. told you to look at the little green car over there and you said: Sorry I don't see it. He answers back: It's right in front of you... And you say: I really can't see it.
If the situation is that you are just coming back from a walk and say, Where's the car ? I don't see it... Ich sehe nicht das Auto. |
