Ich. Ich is the German word for ego. If you're referring to the psychological concept of "ego", just use Ego as an international noun (capitalised).
in case i want to say "no, i'm not perfect" which one is better/right : " nein, ich bin nicht perfekt" or "nein, ich bin perfekt nicht"
Shouldn't "Nein, Es geht mir perfekt" work here too? as "No, I'm doing just perfect" sort of thing...
"I'm doing perfect" could mean something different than "I'm perfect", depending on the context.
That depends on the context. If the question was "Are you not perfect?" or if some said about you "You are not ideal" ("Du bist nicht ideal"), then the correct response would be a positive statement: "Doch, ich bin perfekt".
I thought if the sentence began with something other than a noun, i could flip the noun and verb order. Such as: "Nein, bin ich perfekt." Is this not the case?
"Nein" is not in the same clause. You might as well write "Nein. Ich bin perfekt".
No it doesn't. Questions take that form but are marked with a question mark. You can flip the noun and verb any time and it still makes sense. For example, Ich weiß nicht = weiß ich nicht. Also: Nein weiß ich nicht.
That's because you leave away the object, and in this case is a peticular object (objects as in das) in which you can switch subject en object
Ich weiß das nicht I don't know "that"
Das weiß ich nicht "That", I don't know
That is grammatically incorrect and for a native speaker sounds like "you are (du bist) <something> to me (mir)"
Ich is only capitalized when it's the first word in a sentence. Otherwise, it's not capitalized. Ex: Ich weiß = Weiß ich.
Different language, different rules. Many languages don't capitalize personal pronouns.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believethat nich is used as "not" while nein is used as "no"
Is 'Ne' ever used as No in standard Germen. Pronouned with a short e in English.
Nein = No. Nicht = not. Tony Stark:"Not a good plan"— "Ein Plan ist nicht gut"
Neyt doesn't exist in a normal German. In some Austria regions "Net" can be heard instead of "Nicht", but don't rely on that.
Usually the verb is at the second position. That's means the right answer is nein bin ich perfekt
Nope. "Nein" is considered a separate phrase. You might as well use a full stop instead of a comma.
