Could not get the darn thing to work.
What do you mean? The quiz? Why not? What happened?
It was challenging yet rewarding. I had to look up a few words to avoid totally failing it- LOL. I realize that first “question” or set of verbs were all weak verbs with “stehen” in it and second set of verbs were all strong verbs. Interesting. I bombed both “bestehen + auf” and “bestehen + aus”. I still think of “f” of “auf” as “off” not “on” and the “s” of “aus” as “of” or “in”.
Believe it or not – that weak-strong stuff was not on purpose. This whole concept is NEVER on my mind, actually…. I just really don’t like the names.
100% x 3!
WhooHoo! Ich muss gestehen, all meine Arbeit hat dem Verstand geholfen! Mein Deutsch ist heute beim besseren Zustand als vor einigen Monaten. Nicht GUT, aber besser.
Wow, Glückwunsch :)!!!
Ho ho…15/15
Alison – Slayer of the Prefix!
Großartiges Quiz :)!
I sucked 60- where are the answers? Can I do extra credit?
Actually, since getting one wrong means getting two wrong, 60 isn’t that awful.
I added the answers now, so you can see them if you do the quiz again.
For extra credit, I’ll have a spiced chai mocha with caramel drizzle.
100% yaay. Abstand should be the word of the year, and is Gegenstand a thing you stand against?
Glückwunsch! Du hast es verdient!
I think the idea of “Gegenstand” is that it stands “opposite of/facing you” (in front of your eyes). Like Gegner (opponent) or Gegenwart (present).
My brain hurts.
Uhm… from joy?!
Thema – die Zuneigung
Ich denke Du sollst auch die Redewendung– ‘ “Auf etwas stehen” nebenbei erklären oder ?
Für einen Englischsprecher ist es
ein komischer Ausdruck!!
Hab ich schon:

ok, I admit I am a native. However, I understand how complicated this is for you dedicated german students.
Did you try the “find the misfit” quiz from a few days ago, by any chance? I’m really curious how a native speaker would do on that type :).
Did much better than I thought I would. Really like this sort of challenge. Thank you.
Oh dear. That was “Qual” I got better as the quiz progressed. At least it has motivated me to delve into your website for stehen prefixes.
Please, please, please, at the end of the quiz, could you show a sentence with each quiz word used correctly in sentences?
You don’t even have to show the right answers in English. We should be able to tell the meanings from the sentence context. Then these words will be easier to remember and use correctly!
That’s a good idea, actually. I just added “normal” answers, but I’ll keep that in mind for next time.
Many thanks for considering this. For learners, context is very important for language learning.
Zum Beispiel, “der Gegenstand dieser Übung ist die Übernahme des Vorstandes.” conveys the meaning of those two nouns better than any Single Word translations.
Wait, what do you mean with the example? Do you mean “The object(ive) of this exercise is the takeover of the head of the company”?
Just wanted to mention that you can usually find some pretty good example sentences in online dictionaries. Linguee is my favorite because I can usually find at least one example that’s simple and easy to understand, and it also gives you a translation. Here’s the page for aus etw. bestehen.
Pons and Leo are my second and third choices, but sometimes the example sentences are complicated, depending on what word you’re looking up.
100%! Woo! After 2020, I don’t think I will ever forget what Abstand means. ;)
Haha, ja… ein Wort des Jahres! Glückwunsch zu 100%
11 out of 15 (1 mix up in the first set and 1 mix up in the last). Frankly I was very impressed by that as a few of them were completely new to me. Das macht doch Spaß!
Super !!
Fun quiz! Nice brain workout trying to make educated guesses. I got the first five all right; I mixed up two in the second round (entstehen and bestehen auf, I think) and mixed up “der Zustand” and “der Gegenstand”. Ironically, I have drilled those two words multiple times on Memrise and should have gotten them right.
As a native Deutscher (until the age of 4) I found this fairly difficult and interesting. But PLEASE, can your software be clearer on what the correct answers are, not just showing me what I got wrong with the red boxes?
I did terrible the first time, and it took several tries to get them all right. It was actually helpful to not get the right answers but just keep trying, because I had to think about why one answer or another made sense. I actually got all of the nouns correct on the first go-round, but I was guessing on most of them, so having the correct answers actually wasn’t as helpful. Thanks for a great exercise!
I would like that too!
I added them now. Actually, I had it on my todo list after the first quiz of this type in this calendar, but then got distracted.
Ooph, yeah, I forgot to add the answers, I’m sorry. I’ll add them now, so you can see them if you take the quizz again.
I nailed the first set, the other two not so much ;-)
One nail in is enough to hang it on the wall of accomplishments :)
Emanuel I may never recover from this quiz! I had to rely on my best guesses and they turned out to be useless. Just when I thought I was starting to get the gist ……
Oh no!!! maybe it’s just this quiz format that’s not working for you and you’d do much better if there is more context.
My girlfriend (who is not a native speaker) has a harder time with this than using the same words in daily life.
Ich habe alles richtig gemacht ! Ich danke dir dafür.
Bis Bald
Super, ich bin stolz auf dich!!
