Wo - Words
| Word | Definition |
|---|---|
| Worauf | on what |
| Womit | with what |
| Wofur | for what |
| Da translates simply to it in german, because of this a da word is always refering to a subject. For instance the word damit. Damit translates to "with it". Similarly wo translates to what. |
We use da words with verbs. Da words replace the object in a sentence and so do wo words. Wo is asking about the object. For instance "Ich fahre mit dem Bus in die Stadt" meaning I go into town with the bus. Or "Wofur interssierst du dich", what are you interested in? This is asking for what you are interested in.
Da - Words
| Word | Definition |
|---|---|
| damit | with it |
| darauf | on it |
| daruber | about it |
| davon | of it |
| Da words consist of the word da and a preposition "an", "aus", "uber", "mit". Meaning to, from, about, and with respectively. Da words are always used in combination with verbs that are used with a prepositions. Examples being "to look for", "suchen nach" and "to remind of", "sich erinnern an". Once again da replaces the object of the sentence. |
