A1 Expression ニュートラル

Das ist weit.

That is far.

意味

To indicate a long distance.

🌍

文化的背景

Germans are avid hikers. A 'short walk' (ein kleiner Spaziergang) can often be 5 kilometers. Don't be surprised if someone says 'Das ist nicht weit' for a 45-minute trek. In the mountains, distance is often measured in time rather than kilometers. You might ask 'Is it far?' and get the answer 'One hour,' because 1km uphill is very different from 1km flat. Swiss precision applies to distance. Signs on hiking trails are extremely accurate, often giving distances down to the minute. The 'car culture' of the US makes 50 miles feel 'not far,' whereas in Germany, 80 kilometers is often seen as a significant journey between distinct regions.

💡

The 'V' Sound

Remember that 'weit' starts with a 'V' sound. If you say it with a 'W' sound (like 'white'), Germans might not understand you.

⚠️

Time vs Space

Never use 'weit' for time. 'The movie is far' makes no sense in German; use 'Der Film ist lang'.

Adding 'weg'

Adding 'weg' (Das ist weit weg) makes you sound much more like a native speaker.

Subjective Distance

Technically yes, but it sounds like you're writing a poem. In daily life, stick to 'weit'.

It can be both! In 'Das ist weit', it's a predicative adjective. In 'Er läuft weit', it's an adverb.

Simply add 'zu': 'Das ist zu weit.'

The opposite is 'nah' (near) or 'nicht weit'.

Not if it comes after the verb 'ist'. 'Die Schule ist weit' is correct.

Yes! 'Bist du weit?' means 'Have you made much progress?'

It's an idiom meaning 'far and wide' or 'anywhere around'.

No, 'weit' is related to 'wide'. 'White' in German is 'weiß'.

Use 'bei weitem'. For example: 'Das ist bei weitem das Beste.'

Only in specific contexts like 'weite Kleidung' (baggy/wide clothes). For a wide street, use 'breit'.
