Guten tag und Herzlich willkommen in diese Geöffnet deutsch kurs.
This first Lesson will give us a way to introduce ourself and, of course,
to introduce somebody to other people, etc.
To introduce yourself you have three main possibilities: –Mein Name ist Mika <=>My name's Mika.* If you want to introduce other person instead of yourself here you got some options:
–Ich bin Mika <=> I'm Mika.
–Ich heiße Mika<=> My name's Mika.*
* Keep in Mind the first and third sentence have a subtle difference. The first translation is equivalent, whereas the third one introduce oneself by means of the periphrasis ' to be called' + 'name'.
–Das ist Veronika <=> This is Veronika.
–Sie ist Veronika <=> She's Veronika.
Here goes the chart for verbs to be(sein) and to be called(heißen)
| präsens | Sein | Heißen |
| Ich | bin | heiße |
| Du | bist | heißt |
| Er/sie/Sie/es | ist | heißt |
| Wir | sind | heißen |
| Ihr | seid | heißt |
| Sie | sind | heißen |
And that's all for now. Please use the comment box to ask or suggest anything and, of course,
let me know if there is any error in the post.
