A1 Expression フォーマル

Gehen Sie geradeaus.

Go straight ahead.

意味

A direction to proceed in a straight line.

🌍

文化的背景

Germans are known for giving very direct and sometimes lengthy directions. If you ask for the way, expect a precise 'Gehen Sie 300 Meter geradeaus' rather than 'It's just up there'. In Vienna, you might hear 'Immer geradeaus' with a softer accent. People are generally very helpful but maintain the formal 'Sie' with strangers. Swiss German speakers might use 'graduus' in dialect, but in formal situations (High German), they will use 'Gehen Sie geradeaus'. Precision is even more emphasized here. In Berlin, directions can be curt. A 'Geradeaus!' might be all you get, but it's not necessarily meant to be rude—it's just the local 'Berliner Schnauze'.

💡

Use your hands

When saying 'geradeaus', a hand gesture pointing forward helps clarify your meaning if your pronunciation isn't perfect yet.

⚠️

Don't forget the 'aus'

Saying just 'Gehen Sie gerade' sounds like you are telling them to 'walk straight' (as in, don't wobble), which might be confusing!

🎯

Add 'immer'

Adding 'immer' (always) makes you sound much more like a native speaker: 'Immer geradeaus!'

💬

Politeness matters

Always start with 'Entschuldigung' (Excuse me) before asking for or giving directions.

Yes, but you should change the verb to 'fahren'. 'Fahren Sie geradeaus.'

It is written as one word: 'geradeaus'.

The informal version is 'Geh geradeaus' (to one person) or 'Geht geradeaus' (to a group).

Not really. Use 'Sei ehrlich' or 'Sag es geradeheraus' for honesty.

To a stranger, yes. You should use the full sentence 'Gehen Sie geradeaus'.

Use 'Gehen Sie lange geradeaus' or 'Immer geradeaus'.

Use 'Geh geradeaus', as 'Sie' is too formal for a child.

Yes, it is the standard term used by navigation systems in Germany.
