Questions & Answers about Die Wurst schmeckt gut.
If I want to say 'The sausage tastes good to me', how would I add 'to me' to this sentence?
You would use the dative pronoun mir (to me) and place it right after the verb: Die Wurst schmeckt mir gut.
Can I use schmecken to say that I am actively tasting the sausage?
No. In German, schmecken is used to describe how food tastes to someone. If you want to say 'I am tasting the sausage' (because you are trying a piece), you would use the verb probieren (to try) instead: Ich probiere die Wurst.
Is Wurst feminine? I thought nouns ending in a consonant were usually masculine.
Yes, it is always die Wurst! While many nouns ending in a consonant are masculine, there are plenty of exceptions in German. It is always best to memorize the gender along with the noun.
