"Die Jacken sind nicht gelb."

Translation: The jackets are not yellow.

[chogu]

It sounds like Jagen

[wataya]

Yes, the pronunciation is wrong. It should be a short 'a' and a hard 'ck'.

[iamOwenG]

I'm glad it's not just me that put 'Jagen' in based on the pronunciation.

[snbutler]

The pronunciation of the second word is terrible here.

[cpendleton]

I thought that "coat" was der Mantel.

[wataya]

Yes. You're right.

[dvdtknsn]

This is a pain. On another question I got penalised for using Mantel for Jacket and this one requires it. Where is the consistency!

[jess1camar1e]

coat = der Mantel; jacket = die Jacke

[rickhardt]

Why here we don´t use kein? Because "geld" is working like an adjetive? or because life is hard?

[wataya]

See here: http://german.about.com/od/grammar/a/German-Negation.htm

In our case it's 'nicht' because of the predicative use of 'gelb'. (Last rule in the nicht section on the page I linked to). A sentence with 'kein' would be: "Das sind keine gelben Jacken". (Note that in this case 'gelb' is used attributively)

[HannahCalaman]

it sounds like "Yaken"

[stevenjayipad]

We heard "yarden"?

[czavatta]

Die Aussprache ist miserabel

[emac75]

Is there no hard /k/ sound when there's a 'ck' in German? Or when it's in the middle of a word? Because even slowed down, there is definitely no /k/ sound in the pronunciation of Jacken here.

[Olivia626052]

"Gelb" sounds like it is pronounced "gelp" here. Is this correct?

[JoelAlexiss]

Anyone made the same mistake? Geld with Gelb

I have a very hard time understanding her.
