"Hören Sie auf!"

Translation: Stop it!

[ThiagoF10]

What?!

[Icarus02]

Ok, I am still trying to sort this one out myself: Aufhören (to stop an action) is a different verb than Hören (to hear/listen). It's a answer, but not a good explanation.

Thanks for posting Emanuel's blog on aufhören. After reading it i wonder if DL's use is correct. Emmanuel says that the verb is used with regards to an action which you have control; not someone else. Si to command someone else to stop would aufhören be the correct verb to use.

You are right its a seperable word and when use in past you put the first part at tye end of the sentence
I guess its right

[BillDornan]

I am extremely frustrated with Duo Lingo. The unit is on prepositions not separable verbs. I understand that prepositions are a part of separable verbs but it reslly is a different concept. Out of nowhere comes aufhören. No context no explanation. This is really bad teaching practice.

Yeah I am counting it as pure incompetence from the course creators. Why is there not a separate section on separatw verbs? Very confusing.

[Flannery65]

Why is "Stop!" marked wrongly and "Stop it" the correct answer? I have ideas, but I am not sure about it. All help appreciated!

I guessed " they are cheering us on" how close was I!

Is this more common than stoppen, halten, or (be)enden?

[Patsy517022]

Listen up not stop

[mizinamo]

No. Aufhören means to stop (doing) something.

[Sima541698]

Does Horen sie auf,mean listen ?

[BettyJo835699]

The link from Icarus02 to daily German says that aufhören is to stop a action that you yourself are doing. So does this only mean I am telling myself to stop and this is not a general stop it command?

This is why this app is a fail. Translate this, speak that...oh got something wrong? Too bad. No teaching, no context, no why, no explanation why something is or is not used.
