So, and here you see, we have a four-wheel ticket for adults.
What is a Straßenbahn?
It's a train in the street.
In English it's called a tram.
And here a lot of trams run.
Also in big cities, but also in smaller ones.
Here we are now in Cologne.
And I'll show you now how to buy a ticket in German.
This is a ticket machine.
And here you see, short distance for adults.
So a short way.
It's like adults, for adults.
It means getting on the tram.
Here you can also see where the tram goes.
To Neumarkt.
Aachener Straße.
Okay.
And?
So, and now we're in the tram.
And up here you can hold on.
Hold on.
So you can hold yourself.
So, and here you see, we have a four-wheel ticket for adults.
So, and when you get on the tram, you have to de-value this ticket.
And put it in like this.
De-value.
Wert is the value.
So, and entwerten means like you take the value away.
Now the ticket is de-valued.
And now you can use it like this.
Now you can use it like this.
Because sometimes the control comes.
Sometimes they will come and control if you actually have a ticket.
We call it the control.
So, and now I'm getting off.
Aussteigen means to get off.
Ich steige aus der Straßenbahn aus.
Alles klar?
Also, was haben wir in diesem Video gelernt?

To get on the tram.
How do you say this?
Einsteigen.
Ich steige in die Straßenbahn ein.
How do you say to get off the tram?
Ich steige aus der Straßenbahn aus.
How do you say the ticket machine?
Wo du das kaufst, where you buy this.
Der Fahrkartenautomat.
Und das ist eine Fahrkarte oder ein Ticket.
How do you say adults?
You say Erwachsene.
Zum Beispiel, ich bin eine Erwachsene.
But when you have a child, you would say ein Ticket fürs Kind.
Ja, das Kind oder die Kinder.
And what else did we learn?
Do you remember how to say to take off the value,

Das heißt entwerten.
So you take away the value.
Entwerten.
