Kapitel 9: Captains Log

Numbers

Now we have learned the numbers. Listen closely to the pronounciation, as it differs quite from the writing (which is closer to the Highgerman variant).
When using numbers withouth a noun, the ones greater then three get an "-e" at the end.
Des san vier Bier. → Des san viere.
Des san sechs Biacha. → Des san sechse.

Megn

"Megn" has to meaning: to want and to like.
"I mog Bier" can mean that you want a beer, or that you like beer generally. It depends on the situation. Often both is possible and true (as in this example).
"Megn" can have quite a strong meaning, too: "I mog di!" means I love you.

aa

Using "aa" is not quite easy. There are basically two places in the sentence where it can occur. There can be a slight meaning difference (the "aa" at the end stresses the "aa" quite a bit), but most often only one version is possible. For the beginning it is best, to always use it right after the verb. Except for phrases you have heard with "aa" at the end.
V - aa: Des is aa a Biache.    Des is aa guat.     Des is aa ned guat.
aa at the end:    I mog di aa. I woaß des aa. I woaß des aa ned.
I mog di aa. → I like/love you, too.
I mog aa di. → I also like you (not only all the others).

Voval change

Some verbs change their vovals. e → i
essn:   i iss, du isst, er/sie/es isst, mia essma, es essts, sie essn
segn:   i sieg, du siegst, er/sie/es siegt, mia segma, es segts, sie segn
