German Conversation for Beginners | 50 German Phrases To Know (Casual)

In German there are two different ways to translate the word “you”: Formal = Sie, Casual = Du.

In face-to-face interactions, the formal "Sie" is the standard way of addressing someone. However, when the person you are speaking to is the same age as you (or younger) and you are pretty young yourself - you could venture to use "du" right away, especially when the setting is relaxed (at a party, in a bar, etc).

In this video, both people are fairly young, and around the same age, so the conversation starts with “du” phrases, although depending on the situation (official/business), it would sometimes start with "Sie” phrases, like:

Wie heißen sie? (What’s your name?)
Sprechen sie Deutsch? (Do you speak German?)

You shouldn’t switch from sie to du without saying anything. Switching to the informal "du" at a official/business setting usually requires that you know and like each other well, at some point one will offer the "du" - traditionally, the older one to the younger one.

If you would address someone in English by saying Sir ___, Mr. X or Mrs. Y, you should use Sie in German.

Children are addressed with "du" by default.

On the internet/social media, the informal "du" is the default form and being addressed with "Sie" is unusual.

I feel like German is easy maybe it’s because I know English and also arabic so I don’t have a problem with the pronunciation even when I stop learning German I don’t forget most of the words, unlike other languages. I just need motivation to continue learning the language
