The final project (written essay and picture essay) is due now. Diese Aufgabe hat 30 Punkte.


Recycle Information"Ei" vs. "-ei"

You had the vocabulary item das Ei in this Unit, but you've also seen food-related words ending in the suffix -ei (Metzgerei, Bäckerei, Konditorei). Do they have anything to do with each other? NO! The most obvious proof is that all the words ending in the suffix -ei are feminine (die-words) -- and we already know that compounds take the gender of their last part. So if -ei had anything to do with "egg," they'd all be neuter (das-words).

When the suffix -ei is added onto a word for a profession, it indicates the place where that person works. A butcher works in a Metzgerei, a baker works in a Bäckerei, and a pastry chef (Konditor) works in a Konditorei.

So if you were walking down the street and saw these signs, what kind of businesses do you think they would be? Try to guess. Dann klicke auf das Deutsche und du siehst das Englische.

Uhrenmacherei
Fischerei
Käserei
Fleischerei
Gärtnerei
Molkerei

Bet you did great! You can try to make up your own "businesses" if you know the word for the profession. You might come up with a non-existent word, but you'll probably be understood -- and appreciated for trying!

Schriftliche Wiederholung
