About the Author: jan
My name is Jan and I live in the south west of Germany. My profession is being a project manager at a company that creates digital media (first of all internet related things). This is my job since over a decade so I´m quite familiar with the web and its tools. Whereat today almost every school kid does. But that´s one of the main reasons why nowadays there are quasi no more limits in the internet and so it can be used for all imaginable types of things. For example learning languages! And that´s where we are at the moment. I first got in touch with Transparent Language when my family and I used to live in France a couple of years ago. I just had a break from work and by coincidence I produced some cultural videos in French. A few months later the whole blogging thing came up and I was lucky to be a part of it. So now my (second) job is to feed you with information, exercises, vocabulary, grammar and stories about Germany and German language. For being a passionate videographer I´m trying to do this more and more by videos. If you have any wishes or needs of topics that should be treated here, please don´t hesitate to contact me via a comment field. I´m open to your suggestions (as long as they are not too individual) and will try to satisfy your needs.

u made some mistakes bro
stehe means stand not stay
stay means bleibe
Ich bleibe – I stay
Du bleibst – you stay
Er bleibt – he stays
Sie bleibt – she stays
Es bleibt – it stays
Wir bleiben – we stay
Ihr bleibt – you stay
Sie bleiben – they stay
and not ich lesen, without n:
Ich lese – I read
the rest is correct
Meio-Ma:
“Ich lesen”?
Jupitar:
Stehen= to stand
Bleiben= to stay
Don’t they? Although I suppose there is some relation between the two words.
Corinna:
As a native German speaker, I would say “Ich stehe” is translated to “I stand”, not “I stay”. That one would depend on the context.
Steve K:
Thanks, that was fun (and educational).
Pius:
Thank-you for helping me learn more of the German Language.
Stefan:
Actually, “I read” is “ich lese”, not “ich lesen”.

Thanks for your comments! When I wrote the article, I just thought about taking “stay” or “stand” as translation for “stehen”. So I asked dict.leo.org and it convinced me to take “stay”. I guess it depends on the case, but mostly “stand” would be better. Nevertheless, the main purpose was do conjugate the German verb “stehen”, so I hope the mistake doesn´t bother you too much! Thanks everybody…
