der Pullover

Plural: die PulloverEnglish: jumper, sweater

Der Pullover ist blau.

The jumper is blue.

Same in the plural: die Pullover. In everyday German: der Pulli.

Clothes come up everywhere: shopping, the weather, packing for a trip, or saying what someone is wearing. In this 3D clothes shop, Mia stands between two clothes rails. Tap a jumper, a skirt or a pair of boots and you see the German word with its article, the plural and an example sentence, and Mia puts it on.

Then play Find it: the game asks Zeig mir den Rock (Show me the skirt) and you tap the right piece of clothing, on the rail, on the bench or on Mia. Find it, and Mia wears it.

How it works

  1. Explore: tap a piece of clothing in the shop, or pick it from the list. Mia puts it on, and the view moves to her.
  2. Find it: read or listen to "Zeig mir …" and tap the right piece of clothing. 10 questions per round.
  3. Drag sideways or use the arrows to turn the shop; zoom with the buttons, Ctrl + scroll, or two fingers on a phone.
  4. After each round you see your score and the words to look at again, and you can practise just your mistakes.

Tips

  • Learn every word with its article. The colors help: blue for der, pink for die, green for das.
  • After zeig mir (show me), der becomes den: Zeig mir den Pullover. Die and das stay the same.
  • Shoes, socks, boots and gloves come in pairs, so you usually hear the plural: die Schuhe, die Socken.
  • To say what someone wears, use tragen: Mia trägt einen Rock und eine Jacke. To put something on: Ich ziehe die Jacke an.
  • Zoom with the buttons, with Ctrl + scroll on a computer, or with two fingers on a phone.
