ДАЙТЕ ВІДПОВІДІ
![]() | Duc_May 2021 If the english phrase is meant to be the correct one, it isn’t. Instead use ”Sie stellen sich eine bessere Zukunft vor”. There are many reflective verbs in German. ”Vorstellen” means to introduce somebody. ”Sich vorstellen” means ”to imagine”, that is, to imagine in one’s OWN mind. That’s the reason for the ’sich’. With dativ case! Ich stelle MIR vor, du stellst DIR vor, er/sie/es stellt SICH vor, etc. Complete for training, if you like. If one says ”Ich stelle MICH vor, he wants to introduce himself and not imagine any futures or pasts or anything else in HIS brains. |
