1. How to Know the Person of Your Noun
We have to get a little deeper into grammar here, but it’s worth it: the terminology of ‘person’ is something you will use a lot in learning German (or any other foreign language) and it’s not hard anyway. You can do it!
There are 3 ‘persons’: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
Those 3 ‘persons’ get split into 2 subcategories: singular and plural.
This table of English pronouns will hopefully make sense, but we’ll break it down in a sec:
What is the 1st Person?
Get egotistical for a moment now: you are the ‘1st person’ (singular). That’s why the 1st person pronouns are I and me (ich, mich/mir).
Likewise, the ‘1st person plural’ is for a group of 2+ people that includes you — a.k.a. we, us (wir, uns).
What is the 2nd Person?
Then, if you imagine that you (1st person) are talking to someone else … that someone else is the 2nd person. If you’re talking directly to one person, you would use the 2nd person singular (you / du) and the plural (you / ihr), if you’re talking to 2+ people.
Remember from above that this du / ihr difference is one of the 4 reasons German pronouns are tricky — we don’t have an official 2nd Person Plural form in English (at least outside of Texas 😉). When I’m explaining it, though, I use ‘you all’ or even ‘y’all’ in my examples).
Remember, too, that in German we have the formal 2nd Person (Sie) and the informal (du) plus their plural forms! Again, this is tricky because we don’t have an English equivalent (however, if you know any Spanish, it’s Sie = Usted and du = tu).
What is the 3rd Person?
Finally, if you (1st Person) are talking to/with someone (2nd Person) about someone else (a ‘3rd party, if you will), that someone else is the 3rd Person!
Of course, just like in the other examples, you have the singular version (talking about a him, her, or it) and a plural [2+] version (talking about them).
German Nominative Personal Pronouns
It’s helpful to know the grammar terminology for ‘person’, especially in those instances where there are differences between English & German (e.g. all the forms of ‘you’ English doesn’t have).
But perhaps the fastest way to be sure of the person (1st, 2nd, 3rd; singular, plural) of your noun is to know the basic nominative personal pronouns (in English & German) like the back of your hand.
Then, if you know which pronoun you’d use in English, you can know which German one to use!
So, what are ‘nominative personal pronouns’? They are the pronouns we use for whoever is the subject of the sentence (and are therefore also called ‘subject pronouns’).
Look at English & German nominative / subject personal pronouns side-by-side:
In any sentence, you have to know whether you’re trying to say I see the dog vs. You see the dog, He sees the dog, etc.
If you still don’t know which subject pronoun you need, try answering these questions to figure it out:
How to know if you’re using the right pronoun:
1st Person Singular
Question: Can you fill in that slot in the sentence with your own name?
1st Person Plural
Question: Are you talking about a group of 2+ people that includes yourself?
2nd Person Singular
Question: Are you talking directly to that person?
2nd Person Plural
Question: Are you talking directly to a group of 2+ people?
3rd Person Singular
Question: Are you talking to someone about someone else?
3rd Person Plural
Question: Are you talking to someone about a group of 2+ people?
