"Ich gehe mit ihnen."

Translation: I am going with them.

[Musetta]

I wrote: I go with you ("Ihnen"= you, "ihnen"=them)

[dirron]

I made the same (easy) mistake...

[rea.minerva]

me too

[Finariona]

Same here! I was even confused after as to why I got it wrong, but your post put me to right. Thanks!

[Lbark]

Is there a reason "gehe" cannot have the sense of "walk" in this sentence?

[Stev02112]

I'm wondering the same. I'm walking with them?

[Blindpatriot]

Walk is a completely different word. In that case it would be "Ich Lauft mit ihnen." Gehe simply means go.

[ryanjhague]

But many of the other translations say gehe can be used to mean walk...

[veganpanda]

I agree, is this being done to confuse us?

[carmenphoto]

So tell me why is "I go with you" wrong?

[Zivnew]

If it was the formal "You" it would have been "Ihnen" and not "ihnen". As in saying "Sie" instead of "sie" when you mean the formal "You".

[dunk999]

Ok. That helps if its written, but if its spoken, how do i tell which ihnen is being used? Are they pronounced differently? Is the sentence phrased differently? It sounds like is just a disaster sentence through and through, causing confusion any time its spoken. Is there a better way to say "i am going with you" or "i am going with them"?

[kanko]

I don't think it's that of a disaster, or else poor germans wouldn't be able to communicate. In this cases (in any language) the extra information is taken from the context of the sentence.

[ArvindhMani]

Like where the person looks when he says this sentence ;)

[vincifgs]

Think about the fact that in German there's a clear difference between du (you) and Ihr (plural you), so every time you say 'you' in English... a disaster happens. That's quite often, I'd say!

[armeezy]

can I say I go with her?

[Zzzzz...]

That would be Ich gehe mit ihr.

[GabrielGcbs]

I wrote "i walk with you" thought it would be accepted :(

[WalkingChaos]

Just wondering does this mean "them" as in a bunch of guys or can it be girls as well

[dnovinc]

It can mean bunch of guys or bunch of girls or a group of guys and girls .

[oreenuar]

So, when somebody tells me "Ich gehe mit ihnen", I cannot know if the speaker will come with me or go with them...?

[vincifgs]

it depends on how old you are!

[iamverita]

Yellow text first time i see the word. It says ut can mean her it and them. I write her and get an error. Sucks

[saeRocky]

why not I go with her?

[veganpanda]

How am I "going with them" flying, skipping, skateboarding? I just put "I walk with them" and was marked wrong, I'll report as we've been told all kinds of options for "gehe".

[tabiupton]

Why can't " I am going with her" be accepted?

[Bob_Dean]

How would you translate, "I go with it"? If you put the arrow under 'ihnen" it gives three possibilities, you, them, it.

[Noah_B_16]

I said " I go with it", how is this wrong?
