It's not just enough to say that things air here and that we know how to name them. We want to say how something s or at our opinion about it. To do that, you will need to learn some adjectives.

And here are some of the possible answers. 8. 4.4 Negation mit nicht (Negation with 'nicht'): So in this lesson we will learn how to say that something is not big, not expensive or not ugly. So here is an old little trick. You want to say that something is ugly, but you can't remember the word Hess lish. Just put the word next nuts in front of the adjective shuhn, for example. This house is next shown. So basically, that is how you're going to make a negation often adjective you just put the word next, not in front of it. Here are some other examples. De cushier is next. Flying Z is course Devonian. Its next Dunckel Z is hell. This Abbott Zimmer s next course as his line. That's out. Oh yes. Nish noi esus die. Also remember how to make a negation for a noun.
