das Prozent
There was a pie chart shared in the lecture today showing what percent of Germans participating in a survey thought that family is very important. There were two main takeaways, one was how to say fractions in German and another was making sentences using dass.
- 50% = die Halfte der Deutschen ...
- 25% = das Viertel der Deutschen ...
- 33% = das Drittel der Deutschen ...
- 2/3 = zwei Drittel der Deutschen ...
Grammar
As with sentences with weil, when dass is used, the main verb in the Nebensatz (supporting sentence) goes to the end. Here are some examples:
- Die Grafik zeigt, dass 2% der Deutschen die Familie sehr wichtig finden.
- Ich glaube, dass es sehr wichtig ist.
Niemand and Hälfte are singular. All others are plural.
Vocabulary
- das Prozent: percent
