I wish I hadn't started to read about figs...

Maybe she meant a smoothie... how does one say smoothie in German??

[requin230]

Smoothie :-)

[Chelsea551134]

Is the pronunciation different?

[Puett]

"total gerne" is an expression a German speaker would never use. Sehr gerne, wirklich gerne would fit the bill.

[requin230]

Yes we would. While a bit informal it is a normal expression.

[SharonNaor]

Is there any reason that Bananensaft, Ornagensaft, Tomatensaft are in the plural form, while Apfelsaft is in the singular form? Is it random or the apple juice is the only exceptional?

[Jim365236]

Banane, Orange, and Tomate are feminine. Feminine nouns, especially those ending in e, take an n when forming compounds.

[SharonNaor]

Thanks!! it makes sense now :)

[V.L.15]

But I always thought that the last noun determined the gender of the "noun train."

However, in this example, "trinke" and "gerne" have nothing to do with the masculinity or femininity of the juice: "Trinke" is simply the first person singular of "trinken" and, on "gern," the extra "e" is optional.

However, had there been an article in front of "Bananensaft," it would have had to reflect the accusative "den" or "einen."

[Eloise23]

Indeed, the last noun does determine the gender of the whole word.

Sharon was asking about the first element of the -saft words being plural, not the whole word. Jim365236 explained that those particular sources of juice happened to be feminine rather than plural.

1. How you juice bananas?
2. That sounds -- Disgusting...

[MaryBallan]

I adore drinking banana juice- surely has the same meaning?

[med.rotorrobot]

I think it has the same meaning (you associate drinking banana juice with positive feelings^^), but it varies in intensity and has a different grammatical structure... which seems to matter a lot to duo. I would translate it as "Ich liebe es Bananensaft zu trinken."

[JDjuDD1]

Considering how we American use "love", to translate" I really love to drink banana juice" should be accepted!

Said nobody ever

[mistdust]

What about "Ich trinke wirklich gern Bananensaft" ?

[Osk.S]

Just how many German words mean "Really"?

[DerSasquatch]

Is there a difference between gern and gerne?

[JayanthVarma]

No. According to responses/comments I read from other users on this forum and also from the link I gave below there is no difference. Gerne is the regular form and gern is just a colloquial variation.

[Rodrik1406]

Is this like a smoothie? Or literally a less viscous juice? How do you say smoothie in german?

[requin230]

smoothie - Smoothie, it is capitalized because it is a noun :-)

[Rodrik1406]

Thank you :D

Should the direct object "Bananensaft" be placed at the end of the sentence. I have noticed in quite a lot of exercises that direct object, when material or thing, are being placed at the end of the sentences.
