RULES
Make sure anything you plan on asking has not already been answered.
No harassing someone over their level of the language of German. Everyone starts somewhere.
No harassing period actually. Obviously no bigotry falls under this category.
In general, no low effort posts or spam. If you ask a question and it didn't receive much engagement, don't go on to ask it again immediately, at the least remove the original copy.
No NSFW. This rule has its loose limits and some exceptions (i.e. commenting on German "dirty talk" and whatnot is alright).
Mods are the interpreters of these rules, and have jurisdiction over other cases where a rule isn't explicitly mentioned here, but it is a common sense rule.
This community is largely for English speakers learning/discussing German. Other languages aren't outright banned yet, but expect minimal support. If other communities arise for German help in other languages, then those languages will be barred from this community in favor of the new one.
I have noticed this quite often
In german, you typically have the verb is second position. This is a typical sentence so the verb must come in second position. You could also say "Immer spiele ich Scharch". It is correct as the verb comes second but usually people put the subject first to make it stand out. May be could you use Immer first if you wanted to insiste that you always play chess.
Just remeber the rule: verb in second position.
Makes sense, thanks!
I'm no teacher or anything but as far as I can tell it's the rule that you use words like oft, immer, manchmal after the verb. I can't think of any exceptions right now. You can put it to the beginning of the sentence but that's not really how people speak.
Subject then verb is why.
Yes. Yoda German was?
