Translation: We are eating fish.

[denintakhe]

can somebody tell me the defferent beetwen "essen" and "isst"?

[LukaCade]

Ich esse
Du isst
Er/sie/es isst

Wir essen
Ihr esst
Sie/sie essen

[xKingConduitx]

"Isst" is used for du and er/sie/es, whereas "esse" is used for ich

ich esse = I eat du isst = you eat er/sie/es isst = he/she/it eats

Hope this helps!

[TejasD20]

Isst is the second-person third-person singular form on the verb essen.
(Essen is also used as a noun - food)

[bhargavi742749]

' Isst ' is just the conjugated form

[adamg502]

Why is "Wir essen Fische." wrong? The sentence doesn't give any indication of how many people "we" are, nor how many fish are being consumed.

[ArvindhMani]

I said "We eat fish" in English and it was accepted! sinister laugh

[EeroK]

It is 100% correct, so no wonder ;)

[RodrigoKrohling]

poor fish

[PrincessElyse]

I accidentally said assassin fish instead of whatever it said I am so ashamed of myself seriously I am

[FlippyVN]

"We are eating fish" Oops that is not correct, it's "We are eating fish." ...with a period

[bunnylover558894]

I got it right without even guessing it

[daphne1312]

What is the difference between wie and wir?

[Anas3101]

"Wie" translates to "how" , while "wir" means "we".

[rishabh_gupta]

is there a difference in pronunciation of "Frisch" and "Frische" ?

[Yomalyn]

Based on the sentence of this lesson, I think you mean "Fisch" (one fish or fish in general statements) and "Fische" (several fish).

If you ARE asking about "frisch", it means fresh (ex. Der Fisch ist frisch = The fish is fresh). And "Frische" hasn't been introduced on DuoLingo yet, but I believe it means "freshness"- Duden: Frische

[Mpm3duoling]

Is it not very confusing to say in German "we are eating food?" How does the repetition of 'essen' play out in speech where you can't capitalize?

[MadelineKi3]

You would literally say "Wir essen Essen". it's understood, but about as redundant in german as it would be in english.

Aber ich wolle ein pull up

[ebrahim968078]

Can any one tell me if can we say wir essen dem Fisch or den Fisch ?

[Leo1354]

It's "Wir essen den Fisch", because eat takes accusative case.

[Santi829344]

What if you wanted to say "We eat fish" instead of "We are eating fish"

[PopSixSquish]

It's still 'Wir essen Fisch.' There is no present continuous tense in German.

[NidhinSugunan]

Isn't "we eat fish" ?

[Nessie369949]

I'm a native German and I do not understand the pronunciation. Please fix that.

[MariellaVe17]

Nobody can understand what he is saying. Iam a Austrian.. So I speak German since iam a child. Please hear the slow vision to hear something.

[claudia_bb]

I thought is like: we are fish... I was like thats weird, but this is what I hear LOL
