You simply reply:<\/p>\n
\u201cIch bin …\u201d = \u201cI am a …\u201d \u00a0and insert the occupation you carry out, e.g. \u201cIch bin Student\/in\u201d (I am a student) or \u201cIch bin Lehrer\/in\u201d (I am a teacher). Please note that you do not need an indefinite article here (ein, eine). Literally, you just say I am student<\/em><\/strong> and I am teacher<\/em><\/strong>, respectively.<\/p>\n Unlike English, in German you can always identify the gender of the people in their occupations. Usually, you add the suffix \u2013in to the masculine noun in order to indicate that the person who carries out that profession is a woman. Additionally, you need to apply the corresponding article when it is necessary. Here is a list of some occupations:<\/p>\n der Dolmetscher<\/p>\n der Fotograf<\/p>\n der Lehrer<\/p>\n der Verk\u00e4ufer<\/p>\n der Kellner<\/p>\n der Polizist<\/p>\n der Dozent<\/p>\n der Schauspieler<\/p>\n der Postbote<\/td>\n die Dolmetscherin<\/p>\n die Fotografin<\/p>\n die Lehrerin<\/p>\n die Verk\u00e4uferin<\/p>\n die Kellnerin<\/p>\n die Polizistin<\/p>\n die Dozentin<\/p>\n die Schauspielerin<\/p>\n die Postbotin<\/td>\n interpreter<\/p>\n photographer<\/p>\n teacher<\/p>\n salesperson<\/p>\n waiter; waitress<\/p>\n policeman; policewoman<\/p>\n lecturer<\/p>\n actor; actress<\/p>\n mailman; mailwoman<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n And now it is your turn.
