"Wir essen Fisch."

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!

[bhargavi742749]

' Isst ' is just the conjugated form

[cP6i6]

Essen and isst

[JustinSome2]

Most if not all that end "en" are talking about multiple people just like trinken or haben thats you determing factor for what sie means. "st" generally means like some one that youre not directly talking to he/she

[TejasD20]

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

[BenjaminTank]

There isnt excactly a difference between them. The e turns into an i at du, er, sie and es.

[gizmo751509]

Isst is is and essen is food

[idkhbtfm]

No ist is is.

[ArvindhMani]

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

[EeroK]

It is 100% correct, so no wonder ;)

[ArvindhMani]

Actually, this was a speaking question, so even though I said "We eat fish" to the mic, instead of the German sentence it was asking, it was accepted ;)

[KingmasterN64]

Da fudge?

[RodrigoKrohling]

poor fish

[leonieexnx]

Ok

[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

[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.

[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?

[filzahfiantama]

i wrote "Fish" instead of "fish" and i was wrong ._.

[sabrina__simon]

Aber ich wolle ein pull up

[ebrahim968078]

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

[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.

[HaleyFoss1]

I hit the wrong button!!

[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.

[Bushra.Hassan]

why "we eats fish" is wrong ?

[DanceGirl1313]

-s is only for he,she,it. "He eats fish",but "We eat fish".

[Amaya808791]

because its not proper English.

[BaileySpitzer]

Because its not good for the fish

[bhargavi742749]

Dear you are are missing up between plurals and singular in a sentences

[JoseBarboz5]

It is wrong because it's logic that we eats fush is not english,its like saying "Is you get a haircut"

[vikash286069]

If was my typo

[dr.dandy]

I like how english went " fisch?" Chop off the c. It's our totally unique word now.

[dr.dandy]

Note: i do know english is a germanic language therefore based a lot after german

[Roo618872]

Correctamendàe

[AgamyaJha]

Essen=food, Essen=eating also

[Yomalyn]

Essen (capitalized) = food; essen (lowercase) = eat/eating

[TuxedoCreeper595]

I ate fish last night. FISHAMINATI CONFERMED!!!
