Context. In the first two examples both sentences sound exactly the same, but it has never been a problem.
In some examples I‘d maybe expect stronger emphasis on the noun. ‚Sucht‘ (short u) vs ‚sucht‘ (long u) from the last example are pronounced very differently.

Pronunciation, context and most importantly most of these sentences wouldn't be used like that. (Except for "die spinnen", i say that probably daily)

Good question! Sometimes it's stress but sometimes just context

A "warm person" is a homosexual in German.

Aww, that’s sweet. The Germans are a kind and open hearted people.

Just don't ask how warm between 1937 and 1945.

Duolingo has yet to enforce these capitalization rules. Boy, it is going to get difficult in later stages.
flames5123@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 2y
It’s just simply nouns that are capitalized. It’s not crazy at all, and I learned that in Duolingo years ago in the first few courses.

for some reason I thought these were lyrics to a German death metal song being translated to English.

I thought they were the same tune with the traditional lyrics for both countries listed.

„Wir fahren die Kinder um“ 😇
„Wir fahren die Kinder um“ 😈
itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 12 pts · 2y
Das ist aber grammatikalisch nicht korrekt, es wäre
„Wir umfahren die Kinder“ 😇 „Wir fahren die Kinder um“ 👿
Besser wäre z.B.:
„Wir werden die Kinder umfahren“

Sie haben Recht. Ich lerne noch Deutsch, deshalb vergesse ich manchmal die richtige trennbare Verbformen. Danke für Ihre Korrektur

Its nonsense because in most of these examples at least one is gobbledygook , like something no normal person would actually say or write.
Also with context you 95% of time know whats ment. Same in every other lanuage.

What's the difference in the 2nd? Don't the English transitions mean the same?
