"Ihr seht das Ei."

Translation: You see the egg.

[KarmaPolice317]

Anyone else having trouble hearing the difference between "Er sieht" and "Ihr seht"

[QuintanillaJon]

"Ihr" sounds like ear and "er" sounds like air.

[reject86]

With a British accent

[psephizo]

Not with the voice I am hearing. Cannot tell the difference.

[fehrerdef]

The sound of the long German "e" does not exist in the English language at all. So it needs some time to get used to it. It is somewhere between the English "ee" sound and the vowel in "air".

Thank u

[Ahmad.younes97]

Perfekt

[loz_m]

Accidentally put "Ihr seid das Ei"…. You are the egg?

[schwenjd]

Me too. Sometimes I get tunnel vision and don't actually think about what I am saying.

[karenkaram]

same here

[Shangriblah]

Why is "Ihr" defined as you instead of "Du"?

[dbaggie]

I think Du is you, and Ihr is the plural you'all.

[Lucid_kiwi]

Why isn't "You are looking at the egg" correct? It shows that "sehen" also means "look".

[nadiardgs]

I faced the same problem. For example, "Ich lese das Buch" could be "I read the book" and "I am reading the book". So I don't see any difference here.

[Xsysthor]

Ich denke, mann musst sagen, Ihr seht die Ei aus.

[seyibright]

Please what is the difference between sehen and siehst and in what situation can both be used?

[reject86]

I believe sehen is plural, like 'Wir sehen das Obst', whereas siehst is singular 'you', like 'Du siehst'. Ps: Frohe Weihnachten!

[CastorKapo]

I'm the eggman, you're the eggman, he is the eggman ... :) (I'm not making fun of the exercise, I just couldn't resist) Ich bin der Eimann, du bist der Eimann, er ist die Eimann :) :)

[thelotusflower]

How do you know when "Ihr/ihr" is "she" or "you"

[ethan.karp]

It depends on the rest of the sentence

[Ispirac]

Do they in that case talk about (formal singular) polite way of expression, or they talk about pronoun you plural?.Maybe is stupid question of me but I would like to know.

[ShariniSen]

Du - Informal, singular

Sie - Formal

Ihr - Informal, plural

[Victor818031]

Sie can be both plural and singular?

[fehrerdef]

the "formal you" "Sie" can be plural es well as singular, right.

[flik]

You see the egg

[FeLuPeBe]

I think this anwer is right. Bur Duolingo says no.

[flik]

You see the egg

[ErgaKandly]

I answer it too. But the right answer is you all see the egg. Ew

[FeLuPeBe]

Isn't “Ihr” the same as “You”?

[MuFuTeeVC]

Yes, but this time plural while Du is singular, both being informal with Sie being the formal you irrespective of the number

[BakinToast]

... Und jetzt, weg ist es!

[reza.klein]

Could I say: you all see that egg, or you all see the egg, or could I not say "that" and " all"?

[Lubes287]

Why the heck doesnt "you see the ball" work??

http://konjugator.reverso.net/konjugation-deutsch-verb-seht.html
This website lists all the forms of sieht and seht. I am confused. It will be really kind if someone can help me out with the verb forms for this. I am confused hen to use sieht, seht, etc

[Adams.S]

dl says "seht" = are looking at or see . you are looking at the egg flows much better, but i am just a beginner .

[jonf3n]

Another way to think of "Ihr" is "you guys" if you live in a place where "guys" can also refer to women :-)

[Neha80576]

when SEHT also has a meaning of catch why can't it be You Catch The Egg what if someone throws it

[AliN11]

Why sehen and not siehen ?

[Guillermo630827]

Yo wassup

[Xsysthor]

Please, I cannot distinguish between Er and Ihr, every time I hear the same stress and the same pronunciation.
I tried with air and ear and it is not working, I only hear ear and ear.

[0o4M1]

Why it not " Ihr seht DEN Ei "

[fehrerdef]

because "Ei" is neuter ("das Ei" in nominative and accusative")

[Frank313433]

"What do you do at Rockefeller Plaza in Albany, NY, USA, when you gaze upward?"
"You see the egg."
