    What's the difference between these two German sentences? 

    In Deutschland ist Deutsch gesprochen.
    In Deutschland wird Deutsch gesprochen.

    Also, could someone please give me some examples of when it’s appropriate to use either werden or sein when passively speaking.

     
    • Martin S 4:12 pm on March 14, 2010 Permalink

      Second one is correct.

      Werden:
      * Is used for passive voice like the above one – is spoken – wird gesprochen
      * is used for future tense I: Ich werde dich anrufen (I will call you)
      *future tense II : ich werde dich angerufen haben (I will have called you)

      haben und sein are used for past tense(s)
      haben: most commonly used
      ich habe angerufen (perfekt I)
      ich hatte angerufen (perfect II)

      sein: for verbs that mean an change of place, a movement
      ich bin gelaufen
      ich war gelaufen

      With verbs that mean the end of a movement like sitzen (to sit), stehen (to stand) there are regional differences if the past tense is formed using "haben" or using "sein". Germany north of river Main (Frankfurt) uses "haben" while south of it and in Austria and Switzerland "sein" is used. Grammatically both are correct.
      Ich bin gestanden. or Ich habe gestanden.

      past simple is formed without haben or sein, of course
      Ich rannte – I ran

      I’m sure I forgot something

      The first sentence is grammatically not correct. Only the second sentence makes sense and means: In Germany german is spoken.

    Rammstein – Stirb Nicht Vor Mir (Don’t Die Before I Do) 

    Rammstein – Stirb Nicht Vor Mir (Don’t English: The night opens her lap The child’s name is loneliness It is cold and motionless I cry softly into time I don’t know what your name is But I know that you exist I know that sometime someone will love me He comes to me every night No words are left to say With his hands around my neck I close my eyes and pass away I don’t know who he is In my dreams he does exist His passion is a kiss And I can not resist I wait here Don’t die before I do I wait here Don’t die before I do I don’t know who you are I know that you exist Don’t die Sometimes love seems so far I wait here Your love I can’t dismiss I wait here All the houses are covered in snow And candle light in the windows They lie there together And I I only wait for you I wait here Don’t die before I do I wait here Don’t die before I do I don’t know who you are I know that you exist Don’t die Sometimes love seems so far I wait here Your love I can’t dismiss Don’t die before I do

      LOL that really shows how pathetic some of you guys are – because u always lose at your favorite sport u cant find any other way then to come back to WW1 or 2 with comments like this load of shit u just wrote. PATHETIC !

      England just CANT BEAT Germany in soccer matches. Sorry folks but thats how it is. Yes, i know, you happened to beat us 5-1 in Munich, but still in important game YOU WILL ALWAYS LOOSE.

      There´s a little chance that this might chage with capello … but actually I doubt.

      Maybe u guys should move on to some ohter sport. Polo, Cricket, Skiing. Just as a suggestion

    APH: England Character CD Absolutely Invincible British Gentleman 

    Here it is! Hope you like it~ DOWNLOAD LINK: Will come later! English lyrics: The seven seas are like my back yard Romance and plundering I manage holiday houses in India and Hong-Kong (Fuu~) Tea is delicious! I’ll keep going in a gentleman-like fashion! Being smart is important! I’ll show you my composure From the cradle to the grave! There are things I believe in! Fairies, curses, ghosts, magic My sarcasm is in good taste Laugh, Laugh, go forward! By reading the seven stars I can predict the tomorrow Curry, Chinese cuisine, my holiday houses meals Meat pie is delicious! I shrink away from uncivilized behavior Both manners and tradition, Wit is good as well No pain, no gain! Orders are orders! I believe, that’s right! In phenomena, Busby’s chair, predictions Ancient ghost-summoning My ultimate weapon, come forth! [A simple diet is a gentleman's prudence If problems arise, use some spices your way!] [Don't say it tastes bad! That Roast Beef too is an English Cuisine!] [Afternoon tea is the best! By the way, putting in condensed milk is military style! ...isn't that right?] All’s well that ends well! That’s right! A winning army will not recognize defeat! My sarcasm is in good taste Laugh, Laugh, go forward!

    How do I get a new key for a 2000 BMW 5 series? 

    I’ve lost all the keys of my car as well as title. I need a new key for my BMW 5 series (2000). What proof of ownership will I need to show in the dealership? Will they give me a key without first seeing the car or do they need the car? Is there any other place becides dealership where I can make BMW key? Thank you .

     
    • jem 12:07 am on March 14, 2010 Permalink

      You will have to get a key from the dealer. If you do not have a business relationship with them, they should require you to prove you own the car. If you have had them work on the car previously, they probably would only require a driver’s license to verify you are the person who there records say owns the car.
      If they do not know you or the car, they should require proof of ownership which would nornally be the title. If you have lost your title you need to get that replaced anyway.

    • Macy 12:07 am on March 14, 2010 Permalink

      Yep I think you could get a new key from a BMW dealership. You will need proof of owner ship, like insurance documents, proof of purchase and so on. They might not need to see the actual car to begin with, but you’ll need to know the model and registration number. And probably when you go in again to collect the key, they’ll want to test the key to see if it works.

    • kokopoko2000 12:07 am on March 14, 2010 Permalink

      Go to the local BMW dealership with the VIN. You’ll need to show the car insurance in your name with that car’s VIN as proof.

    • Томми 12:07 am on March 14, 2010 Permalink

      I recently asked my BMW dealer what documentation I’d need and I was told you need two (2) forms of proof of ownership and $200 dollars for shipping and material.
      If you’re lacking some documentation, call your local BMW dealer for assistance.
