"Du hast dein Bier."

Translation: You have your beer.

[KLTah]

don't touch mine.

[ritaabiacar]

Why not deinen

[septiros]

Bier is neuter, not masculine.

[ForzaRoma23]

das bier not der bier

[eplus17]

DL dinged me for translating the audio as "Du hasst dein Bier" (You hate your beer). Is one supposed to be able to hear the difference between "hast" and "hasst?"

[jacobtie]

There is no difference in pronunciation. There is actually a German song called, ,,Du Hast" (you have) by Rammstein which takes advantage of this by turning it into a pun in the line, ,,Du hast mich" which sounds like ,,Du hasst mich".

[podsolnechnik13]

I love that song!

[MichaelRos591172]

The difference in pronounciation is like in
"Hazel" with a short 'S' and a bit more of the 'A'
and "Hazard" with a sharp 'S' , it's also in german words with the special 'ß'.

[bluesharkgeek]

And i have mine

[MehrdadZomo]

Cool

[CharlieMcv]

Go home, Duo. You're Drunk.

[raufo_on]

'dein' sounds like 'ein' in the audio :/

[awo]

So the accusative 'your' (dein) is the same as the nominative?

[jacobtie]

In this case, yes, because it is a neuter word.

Why not deine?

[septiros]

Bier is neuter, not feminine.

[OmarEssam.EG]

Did it sound like "Du hast STEIN Bier?"

[Rippler]

For some reason, I understand the male narrator far better than the female narrator.

[achyut]

Why is "You are having your beer" not correct? I have noticed that the English present and present continuous tenses have the same translation in German.

[tetraspace]

"are having" makes it seem like you're drinking the beer.

[JamieHenry]

The recording sure sounds more like "Wo hast" than "Du hast"

[metamollusc]

Agreed. This is one of a number of times when 'Du' at the start of a sentence sounds like 'woo' or 'woe' (with more of an English 'w' sound than the English 'v'/ German 'w')

[chamocois]

Same here, I heard "Wo hast du dein Bier?"

[petkoo2]

Gute alte Zeit...

[deactivated user]

Du hast Stern Bier. That's the way it sounded like for me

[IArtin98]

Why not "euer" ?!

[deactivated user]

I got the listening exercise, and it sounded like "Du has dein Bär"...I hope in life there will always be context, or else we will end up in very peculiar situations :P

[NoahGregor6]

Is "hast" supposed to be whispered or is that just an accident by narrator?

[DavinDavis]

Why would it be dein Bier, I thought Bier was a Der(Masculine) so wouldn't it be deinen Bier?

[ClaudiaCal247790]

Bier is neuter, Das Bier

[petkoo2]

Bier sind wenig, mehr Bier!

[Wowpow2300]

What are all the different forms of "your"? I keep confusing them with "these" and "our".

[AndyPyrope]

your-dein(e/en), these-diese, our-unser(e/en)

[Mr.FluffyUnicorn]

Du hast dein Bier, Ich.....Ich habe nichts

[LukerSwift]

...and i have mine!

[capuano3d]

why 'thou hast thy beer' are not acceptable?

[Noodra]

"Thou hast thy beer" is not incorrect, even though the program does not like it.

[thiago_mca]

it sounds weird

[BE_AWSOME123]

no, i don't drink.

[legitDonaldTrump]

I am the Beer man. Hallo!

[RudolVonStroheim]

You have your beer,nobody stole it.Quit being paranoid Josh GAWD!

[Codytheclone]

Und Ich haben mein tee.

[podsolnechnik13]

It sounds like the person is so drunk they're like "Wo ist mein Bier?" when it's right in their hand and you have to tell them "Du hast dein Bier."

[RobertBoll5]

Why wouldn't this be "Du hat dein beer" I am little confused on when to use hat vs hast when du is precedes the verb (hat or hast).

Thanks

[GrubbaFong]

You HAVE your beer so quitcher complainin', buddy.

[SalvarezLugo]

"Dude, where's my beer?"
"Du hast dein Bier!"

[mushroommax]
