German Lesson (105) - "if" and "when" - als; wenn; ob; wann - A2 Video Lecture | Learn German Language (Advanced Level): Course for Serious Learners

hi guys hallelujah welcome back to
German with Jenny in this episode I want
to explain how to use if and when in
German there are four different words to
say if and when let's take a look at the
difference we use eyelids to refer to
events that happened in the past and
they only happened once they did not
happen repeatedly edits to mich guest on
an NGO goofin hast stunts is untidy
Ducie when you call me yesterday I was
under the shower else to meet guest on
an NGO goofin hast strand is untied a
Ducie so you called me yesterday that
was an event that took place once and at
that time I was under the shower so we
referring to that one single event so we
have to use ayats I Sofia in Berlin
Kevon table beneath of a nap leave at
Schulich again when we lived in Berlin I
went to a private school is via in
Berlin governed haben finish of a nap
leave at Schuler Gagarin as it does Blut
cos n Haber is me ash lashed kavadi
when I saw the blood I became nauseous
as it does blood cos n Haber is me ash
list Givaudan so here we're not
specifying the time but we're saying
that in the past at some point in time I
saw some blood and I felt nauseous when
I saw that blood so this is something
that happened once we use then when
we're talking about repeated events that
happen in the past or repeated events
that are happening in the present or in
future it can be translated to whenever
whenever I did this whenever that I did
that something happened
quia have manifested if I'm amid
Playmobil won't label Bushfield Venice
skating no taught in the past my sister
and I always played with Playmobil and
Lego when it rained so here we're saying
whenever it rained ever
time it rained my sister and I were
playing with Playmobil and Lego ooh yah

Coligny tat we also use then when we're
talking about conditions on condition

each can be a help in vendo vist i can
help you if you want me to eat candy a
heaven vendor whilst up means weather
and when we're saying that the answer is
either yes or no okay if I snitched
Optus an agouti did we ever I don't know
if that would be a good idea each by
snitched up the santoku te'devan so it
could be a good idea yes or it could not
be a good idea no yes
no we all know it's either yes or no
that's the only option we have
I don't know if that's a good idea it
could be yes or it could not be no so
that's when we have to use up it's been
- tisha or Bhishma an outro off and
zalta I'm not sure if I should sell my
car it's been minutes YCJA
up is mine outro off and zalta so
again the answer here is yes I should
sell my car or no I should not sell my
car ok we have two options yes or no
that's when we use up we use one which
means when in questions or reported
questions and when we use van we're
referring to a time or a day or a year
if you've I snitched van fo becomes I
don't know when he's coming over
so we're saying I don't know at what
time he's coming over at 6:00 or 7:00 or
8:00 I don't know what time so that's
when we use van we're referring to a
specific time if you've I snitched van
fo becomes I don't know when he's coming
over van has stood site when do you have
time
van has stood site so what's the time
that you're available
6 7 8 p.m. or tomorrow or next week van

site at I don't know when he has time if
you've I snitched van at site at van
conan via an Fagin when can we start at
what time can we start what day what
week van cannon VN Fagin when can we
start
all right let's summarize eyelids is
used when we talk about events that
occurred in the past and they only
occurred once then is used for repeated
events in the past or in the present or
in the future
then is also used when we talk about
conditions up is used to express weather
I don't know whether to do this or that
the answer is yes or no I should do this
yes or I should not do this no and van
is used to refer to a specific time or
specific day or a specific week or a
specific month or or a certain year okay
it's a point in time what time what day
what year etc so that's how you express
if and when in German I hope that was
