Vielen Dank
Can you please explain differences between Von und Aus,with examples. I am much confused.
Viele Grüße
I’m a german teacher and I’ll try to explain the difference between “von” and “aus” which can be both translated in English by using” from” . It’s the answer to the question WOHER. When it’s larger place ( a country ,a city ) you’ll use AUS . Example ich komme aus Deutschland , er ist aus Indien.
But if you think of a smaller place ( supermarket, Postoffice) , you’ll use VON.ich komme vom ( VON+ DEM) Supermarkt. ich komme von der Schule:
I ‘m back from school ( small place).
By the way ,it’s exactly the same with the question WOHIN ( Where to) ZU and NACH.
Ich gehe zu meinem Freund ( small place) ich fahre nach Amerika (large place )
I hope this will help you !
The prepositions von and aus each have a variety possible meanings, but I assume that you are asking for an explanation of the difference when both words seem to imply the English meaning from.
@Mireille Helary: I like your explanation. That is a great and simple starting point and really gives students something to work with.
At the same time, there are many examples of usage that won’t fit into this explanation. For example, both of the following sentences are correct, but each means something different.
So here the word von implies a starting point for something that has moved away from the starting point.
By contrast, the word aus implies the movement of something from the inside to the outside of a location.
The preposition aus also has a stronger emphasis on origination. For example:
These differences also apply in the following examples:
As you might surmise from the last example, there is some gray area where the difference in meaning is so negligible that really both variants can be used interchangeably.
Ultimately, the best way for students to “get” the differences between the two is exposure to lots of real language examples of the words used in various contexts. And this is something that can happen in their daily language use. One only needs to draw their attention to these examples whenever they are encountered.
Hallo.. Ich lerne jetzt Deutsch. Und ich habe auch etwas gelernt, dass hat mit “von” und “aus” zu tun.
Wir benutzen “aus”, wenn die Bewegung fangt von ein 3 dimotional platz, aber wir benutzen “von”, wenn der Anfang ein Punkt ist. Das ist der Unschied zwichen (Ich komme von der Schule) und (Ich Komme aus der Schule).
(Ich komme von der Schule) bedeuted, dass mein Startpunkt ist die Schule.
(Ich Komme aus der Schule) bedeuted, dass ich in der Gebäude war, and ich komme nach draußen.
Ich hoffe, dass ich habe es richtig verstanden und erklärt. :)
This is great!!
