In English, we don’t say “We see us next week.” The correct way to express this would be:
“We’ll see each other next week” or “We’ll see you next week” (if you’re referring to someone else).
In German, it’s common to say “Wir sehen uns nächste Woche,” but in English, we use “each other” or the subject’s name instead of “us” in this type of sentence.
So, the correct version would be:
➡️ “Used to” = Something you did in the past but don’t do anymore.
Example: I used to watch cartoons every Saturday morning. (Not anymore.)
➡️ “To be used to” = Something you’re accustomed to doing now.
Example: I’m used to drinking coffee every morning. (It’s a habit.)
It’s a subtle difference, but it makes a big impact! 🤓
Use fewer with countable things:
Example: “Fewer people attended the meeting than expected.”
Use less with uncountable things:
Example: “There’s less coffee in my cup than in yours.”
Supermarket signs saying “10 items or less” are technically wrong, but hey, who’s counting?
“In der Nähe” does not mean “in the near” in English. Instead, we say “nearby,” “close by” or “near.”
For example:
Die Bushaltestelle ist in der Nähe. = The bus stop is nearby/close by.
Das Restaurant ist in der Nähe der Schule. = The restaurant is near the school.
