To remember the German word “Lande” as the plural of “Land,” you might think of “landing” on multiple “lands” when traveling. The image of an airplane touching down in various countries can help reinforce the notion of plural lands.

In German, “Land” means “country” or “land,” and “Lande” is its plural form, though it’s less commonly used than the singular form. Additionally, “auf dem Lande” is a phrase that translates to “in the country(side)” and portrays the idea of rural areas.

Other words that mean the same thing or are similar in German include:

– “Länder” – This is the more common plural form of “Land” and refers to countries or states, especially in the context of the states of Germany (Bundesländer).
– “Gebiete” – Translates to “areas” or “territories.”
– “Regionen” – Means “regions.”

As for alternate meanings and slang, “Land” in youth slang could refer to someone’s area or territory. The word “Lande” doesn’t have a significant alternate slang meaning.

Here are some example sentences using “Lande”:

1. Wir haben viele verschiedene Länder auf unserer Reise besucht. (We visited many different countries on our trip.)
2. Die Kinder spielen gerne auf dem Lande, weil sie dort viel Platz haben. (The children like to play in the countryside because there’s a lot of space there.)
3. In den weiten Landen Kanadas gibt es atemberaubende Natur. (In the vast lands of Canada, there is breathtaking nature.)
4. Ich möchte irgendwann alle skandinavischen Länder bereisen. (I want to travel to all the Scandinavian countries someday.)

Note that the examples replace “Lande” with the more commonly used “Länder” for plural uses that are more familiar to the modern German speaker.
