Konjunktiv in German

This is part of the Langblr reactivation challenge! This is day 9 :)

Write an explanation on a grammar rule in your target language (such as verb tenses, exceptions, word order, etc). Include sentences to show how and when it is used.

Sooo Konjunktiv, we finally meet.

Aka this is the Konjunktiv post that nobody asked me to write and yet I did. This is the English version, but you can also find the German version here (I can't promise that it will be more understandable tho) :)

Konjunktiv I is used for indirect speech. There are also some fixed situations in which one always uses Konjunktiv I. The main verb is only conjugated in the present tense; the auxiliary verbs are conjugated for the other tenses.

The verb sein is regular in Konjunktiv I: ich sei, du seiest, er sei, wir seien, ihr seiet, sie seien.

The rest of verbs are conjugated with the following pattern:

The third person singular is the most used, because it's the most frequent form in indirect speech. In order to conjugate it, one must remove the -n from the infinitive form: haben - er habe.

The modal verbs are also regular in the 1st and 3rd person singular: ich/er/sie/es müsse.

2nd person singular and plural are different from the indicative only by an -e: du gehst - du gehest/ihr geht - ihr gehet.

The 1st person singular and 1st and 3rd persons plural are the same as the indicative, so one must use the Konjunktiv II for situations when these persons are needed.

One can build sentences in the past, present and future with Konjunktiv I :

Simultaneity. The main and subordinate clauses occur at the same time: er sagt, sie lese ein Buch.

Anteriority. The subordinate occurs before the main clause: er sagt, sie habe ein Buch gelesen.

Posteriority - Futur I and II. The subordinate occurs in the future of the main clause: er sagt, sie werde ein Buch lesen/er sagt, sie werde ein Buch gelesen haben.

To speak about things that are impossible or unlikely, we use Konjunktiv II, but also for indirect speech and other situations:

Wishes and hopes.

Unreal statements or conditional sentences.

As previously explained, indirect speech (when Konkunktiv I isn't possible)

Particularly polite or careful requests or statements

There is one pure form of Konjunktiv II, for the present, and several forms with auxiliary verbs.

For the present, only strong verbs are conjugated in Konjunktiv II, because the subjunctive form in weak verbs is the same as indicative Präteritum. In order to conjugate strong verbs in Konjunktiv II, one must add the subjunctive endings (-e, -est, -e, -en, -et, -en) to the Präteritum root. Additionally, the verbs that have an a/o/u receive an Umlaut:

ich fände, du fändest, er fände, wir fänden, ihr fändet, sie fänden.

The modal and auxiliary verbs are also conjugated in Präteritum in Konjunktiv II:

ich wäre/ich hätte/ich würde/ich könnte/ich dürfte/ich müsste/ich sollte/ich wollte...

But many people already know these forms! They are the ones used for polite requests: ich hätte gerne...

The other tenses are conjugated with auxiliary verbs:

For situations in the future, but also for those in the present, one can use würden + infinitive. This is also the only form can be used for the present in weak verbs: ich würde warten.

Plusquamperfekt is constructed with haben or sein in Konjunktiv II + the participle of the verb. It's the past tense: ich hätte gefunden/ich wäre gegangen.

There is a second future form, Futur II, which is built with würde + participle + haben/sein: ich würde geträumt haben.

Thank you very very much to @dreamofghosts for the corrections and help in making sense of this....... interesting topic lol!!

on the special occasion of finally completing 3 years here is a lil thank you post. I started this blog back in Jan 2020 at the same time I started bujoing and decided to share my progress here as I was very inspired by the whole community and I am still touched by how welcoming and sweet everyone was to me. I have met some [hopefully] lifelong friends, had some of the best interactions and got to know the kindest people here.

Tumblr always felt like a home to me, there’s a strange comfort here, and even after 3 years the community hasn't changed much. Of course, I miss some of my beloved that aren't super active lately but just going to their accounts and revisiting the memories feels so intimate. I have sure made great memories here so just a little thank you to everyone who has ever interacted or sent me kind words with or without anon, everyone who has sent me moon pictures saying “it reminds me of you” have checked on me during exam season or left encouraging tags on reblogs, younger tumblrinas who said they want to journal like me, i truly love all of you! My askbox is always open [now with anons shjsjs] for you

if I could I'd write each of you handwritten letters and teleport there to meet even once but for now, just know that I love and adore you <3

Langblr reactivation challenge #1

Create an introduction post about yourself. What's your name? What languages are you studying? What languages do you hope to study? What do you hope you'll get out of this challenge?

Hallo zusammen! Ich bin Al, aus Spanien, und lerne gerne seit Jahre Deutsch: ich habe ein Jahr in der Schule Deutsch gelernt, dann habe ich vier Jahre lang nur selbstgelernt, später bin ich nach Deutschland umgezogen... aber jetzt bin ich wieder in Spanien und möchte es nicht verlieren, deshalb nehme ich sehr gerne an dieser Challenge teil :) Im Moment promoviere ich in Biochemie und studiere die letzten zwei Semester English Studies, deswegen habe ich leider keine Zeit, um mich für einen Sprachkurs anzumelden. Neben Deutsch sollte ich vielleicht auch mit Französisch anfangen, da ich die Möglichkeit hätte, für eine kurze Zeit in ein französisches Labor zu gehen...

Hi everyone! This is Al, from Spain, and I've been learning German for quite a few years now: I took one year in high school, then did some self-studying for four years, and later I moved to Germany! But now I'm back in Spain and I don't want to lose all those improvements. That's why I'm so excited to take part in this challenge :) right now I'm doing my PhD in biochemistry and I'm also studying the last year of English studies, so I sadly don't have time to sign up for a language course. Besides German, I might have to start (re)learning french, because I just got the opportunity to go to a french lab for a short time...

mid year book tag

i was tagged by @the---hermit to this wonderful book-related tag game and i was so excited to do this!! my reading goal for 2022 was 25 books and i actually literally yesterday reached that goal :o it’s so wild to me that i have reached my reading goal halfway through the year already! not that the number of books you read matters, but as someone who used to read maybe a max of 3 books a year, this is just absolutely amazing to me that i have managed to already read so many books!

best book you’ve read so far in 2022 : if i had to pick just one, it would be lonely castle in the mirror by mizuki tsujimura, that book broke me in the best and most healing way possible.

best sequel you've read so far in 2022 : the secret commonwealth by philip pullman, it was a long book but it kept me interested the entire time. also the dream thieves by maggie stiefvater.

new release you haven't read yet, but want to : gallant by v.e. schwab is still on my list for this year.

most anticipated release for the second half of the year : i haven’t really been keeping up with upcoming releases but chain of thorns by cassandra clare comes out in january 2023 apparently and i’m really looking forward to seeing how that series ends! (not this year, but almost lol)

biggest surprise favorite new author (debut or new to you) : i’m going to say brandon sanderson, i didn’t imagine i would enjoy skyward as much as i have but the writing and worldbuilding are just incredible and i am excited to check out more of his books in the future (he’s written a LOT of books so i won’t run out of them quickly lol)

newest fictional crush : no character really comes to mind because i don’t think i personally crush on a lot of book characters but i have to say that i absolutely adore spensa from skyward and ronan from the raven cycle/the dreamer trilogy 😭😭 but they’re not really crushes, more like new favourite characters that i got to know this year

book that made you cry : lonely castle in the mirror by mizuki tsujimura (try reading that ending without crying. i dare you.)

book that made you happy : so many books!! i mainly read in hopes of books making me happy. loveless by alice oseman was a very cathartic and lovely read, under the whispering door by tj klune was SO GOOD and i smiled so much, also all the moomin books by tove jansson that i’ve read this year so far

most beautiful book you've bought so far this year (or received) : i bought this really beautiful macmillan collector's library edition of anne of green gables by lucy maud montgomery! it looks so nice on my shelf

what books do you need to read by the end of the year? : i’m hoping to finish lord of the rings this year (i’m reading return of the king rn), other than that idk, i’ll just see what i’m in the mood for!

i’m tagging @sensiteave @hannistudies @fluencylevelfrench @melaschnie @la-galaxie-langblr but anyone who sees this is free to say i tagged you because i’d love to hear about your reading! 🥰

✨ Best book you’ve read so far: Definitely Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier

⛈ Best sequel you’ve read so far: Haven’t read any sequels yet ( I’ve been reading a bunch of series and then just moving on lmao) but I’m definitely looking forward to reading Storm from the East. I stopped reading it about a year ago as I wasn’t in the mood but now I am :)

💃🏽 New release you haven’t read yet but want to: Ooh Beach read!!! Bought it the other day and can’t wait, I’ve been waiting for a year!!

🤞🏾Most anticipated release for the second half of the year: So I don’t know if the book will come out before the end of 2022 but I’m looking forward to Madeline Miller’s retelling of Persephone

☘️ Biggest surprise favourite new author (debut or new to you): Alice Oseman and Daphne Du Maurier

😳 Newest fictional crush: uhhh moving on….

💧Book that made you cry: I was born for this by Alice Oseman

🙃 Book that made you happy: none!! They have all been really angsty, unless you mean I was happy they ended then that is a completely different story…

🌙 Most beautiful book you’ve bought so far this year (or received): If by cover, one of my friends got me wuthering heights and the cover it’s beautiful, writing wise I haven’t read a lot books that I’ve bought, I’m currently reading lots of library ones.

🍁What books do you need to read by the end of the year? I don’t really have a tbr list I want to get through (I should though) so I just kind of read where my interest lie. I do however have a goal to read 22 books by the end!!!

mid year book tag!

thanks for tagging me @bulletnotestudies and @dreamofghosts ^^ (honorable mentions to @gushuwa and @bennistudies who tagged me later and i still managed to forget about the post lmao)

number of books i've read so far: 14 (as of 28.07: 19)

best book you’ve read so far in 2022: I've read mostly bangers this year choosing is HARD??? My top 3 are in chronological order of reading: She Who Became The Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan, The Hourglass Throne by K. D. Edwards and Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White

best sequel you've read so far in 2022: The Sun Throne by K. D. Edwards (yelling screaming crying over this series and this book especially)

new release you haven't read yet, but want to: I am really looking forward to reading When the Angels Left the Old Country by Sacha Lamb!

most anticipated release for the second half of the year: Nona the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir (the amount of EFFORT I had to put in to not CAPSLOCK this entire THING I am VIBRATING)

biggest surprise favourite new author (debut or new to you): Andrew Joseph White. He Gets It.

newest fictional crush obsession: Brandon Saint John. He's loyal. He's funny but a bit of an asshole. He's so incredibly devoted and couldn't spell toxic masculinity if it did an interpretative dance for him. He is obsessed with big weapons. He is so protective but he trusts Rune to do his shit even if he'll tease Rune about creating disasters 200% of the time. He is gender as HELL. (Google: how to become Brand???)

book that made you cry: I haven't cried yet but the whole Tarot Sequence Series had me tearing up more than one time.

book that made you happy: Oddly enough i haven't read a lot of purely lighthearted books this year. There has been a lot of epic, mysterious and/or horror books... But the one book that definitely made me laugh out loud while reading was: Hunger Pangs by Joy Demorra. Just a joy to breeze through!

most beautiful book you've bought so far this year (or received):  Either The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley or Human Acts by Han Kang

what books do you need to read by the end of the year? Nona!!! 100% DEFINITELY NONA!! But I also want to finally read In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado and when it comes out The Book Eaters by Sunyi Dean!

if I post this on the last day of july, it still counts as midyear, right? right?? anyways. @stuhde @dutch-polyglot @la-galaxie-langblr if you haven't done this tag 4 weeks ago like everyone else, have at it!
