In English you have the word "plaything" which can in certain circumstances have a sexually exploitive connotation when used in reference to a person. Would one use Spielzeug for that too or is there another word to translate the english plaything?
These genitive lessons seem to have about three or four actual genitive sentences and then a bunch of random nonsense.
"Am I a toy?" Implies that I do not know if I am a toy or not. I saw the sentence as "I am a toy?" which implies I jut found out I am indeed a toy and cannot believe it. I was wrong but now I'm wondering how I convey "I am a toy?"
When the verb is used first, it is a question. The statement "I am a toy" = "Ich bin ein Spielzeug".... Unless maybe in Umgangssprache it is inflected.
The correct way to say this would be raises. :) Not sure what your first language is, but I agree haha.
I couldn't tell if whether or not this was a question given the way she said it, this sounded like a statement c:
I see because a question usually starts with the conjugated verb in a situation like that :D thank you so much :)
I think that if you put, "I am a toy?" it would still pose as a question.
