   The numbers part was easy for me, but the rental information was mostly new. I got a little confused with the first floor question though. To me a building has a ground floor, then you go up to the next level which is the first floor. You’re not saying that that floor is called the ground floor in Germany are you? Or are you saying that in fact it’s the same system as in Britain?

   And when you say the next tenant has to buy the kitchen, do you mean that if they don’t it’s just a totally empty room? No cupboards, no stove, just walls and a floor?

     @Dee Hi Dee,

     In America people call the ground floor the first floor, which is why in German it’s a little bit different as they start with the ground floor! Here’s a link to my other post explaining it.

     Yes that’s right, if you don’t buy it off the people who lived there before you you literally just have an empty space! Just walls and a floor. The link above also explains that if you fancy having a read 🙂

     Thanks for commenting,

   Just to note that I’ve spoken German for nearly 50 years, and while my skills may be a little “altmodisch,” I wouldn’t translate English “me” as German “ich.”
   “Me” is the accusative case, equivalent to German “mich”; the English-language equivalent of “ich* is “I”. Granted, nearly all English-speakers will answer, “It’s me,” but that’s because “It is I” is impossibly stuffy. And we also picked up bad grammar from the French, for whom the nominative first-person singular is “je” and the accusative is “moi” – but every speaker of French will tell you, correctly, that the answer to “Qui est la?” is “C’est moi” – It’s me. A German, however, would answer, “Ich bin’s” oder, “Das bin ich.”

   Anyway, short answer: me = mich, I = ich. So, das war’s, as we used to say in Walldorf. 😉

     @Meg Lark Hello,

     Thanks for commenting 🙂 I’ll change it to “I” to avoid any confusion!!

     I hope you enjoyed the quiz,

   Thank you for the post…but I think your answers got a bit mixed up. It is confusing for a novice learner like me. Fortunately I could recognise the words and I think you must revise your post.

   Thank you for the good work you do.
   Kind regards
   Anita

     Thanks for your comment and taking for taking the quiz! I have revised the post but can’t seem to find anything wrong with the answers? Do you have an example??
