My goal is to speak German perfectly in German 🇩🇪

Sentence info.

The German sentence “Mein Ziel ist, Deutsch perfekt zu sprechen” translates to “My goal is to speak German perfectly” in English. Let’s break down the sentence:

– “Mein” is the possessive adjective “my”.
– “Ziel” is a neuter noun meaning “goal” or “aim”.
– “ist” is the third person singular of the verb “sein” (to be), meaning “is”.
– “Deutsch” is the noun for the German language.
– “perfekt” is an adverb describing how you want to speak German, meaning “perfectly”.
– “zu sprechen” is the infinitive form of the verb “sprechen” (to speak), preceded by “zu”, which is often used to form the infinitive constructions in German.

The comma before “Deutsch” indicates that what follows is an infinitive phrase functioning as the object of the sentence.

Tips to remember it:
– Think of the sentence in two parts: subject (“Mein Ziel ist”) and the infinitive phrase (“Deutsch perfekt zu sprechen”).
– Remember that in German, the verb usually comes second, but in an infinitive construction with “zu”, the verb goes to the end.

Alternate ways to say it:
– “Es ist mein Ziel, Deutsch perfekt zu beherrschen.” (It’s my goal to master German perfectly.)
– “Ich möchte Deutsch perfekt sprechen können.” (I would like to be able to speak German perfectly.)
