解説 Stimme in your Level:

At the A1 level, 'Stimme' is primarily understood as the physical human voice. Learners use it to describe basic attributes: 'Die Stimme ist laut' (The voice is loud) or 'Ich höre eine Stimme' (I hear a voice). It is often introduced alongside body parts and basic sensory verbs like 'hören' (to hear). At this stage, the focus is on the feminine gender (die Stimme) and the plural (Stimmen). Simple sentences like 'Sie hat eine schöne Stimme' are typical. The political meaning of 'vote' is usually not introduced until later, though students might encounter it in very basic cultural lessons about Germany. The main goal is to distinguish 'Stimme' from 'Sprechen' (speaking) and to use it as a noun in simple subject-verb-object constructions. Learners should also be aware of the verb 'stimmen' (to be right), which is a high-frequency A1 word, but they should be taught that the noun 'Stimme' is a separate concept. Exercises at this level focus on matching adjectives to the noun and identifying the word in simple audio clips of people speaking.

At the A2 level, the use of 'Stimme' expands to include more descriptive adjectives and simple idiomatic expressions. Learners begin to use it in the context of health (e.g., 'Ich habe meine Stimme verloren' - I lost my voice/have a sore throat) and in basic social interactions. The concept of 'Stimme' as a 'vote' might be introduced in the context of simple classroom or group decisions. Grammatically, A2 learners should be comfortable using 'Stimme' in different cases, particularly the accusative ('Ich erkenne deine Stimme') and the dative ('Mit lauter Stimme'). They also start to see compound nouns like 'Stimmbildung' (voice training) or 'Singstimme' (singing voice). The focus shifts from just identifying the voice to describing its qualities in more detail, such as 'heiser' (hoarse), 'tief' (deep), or 'hoch' (high). Reading texts might include short descriptions of people where their voice is a defining characteristic.

By B1, the political meaning of 'Stimme' becomes a core part of the vocabulary. Learners are expected to understand news reports about elections where 'Stimmen' are counted ('Stimmen zählen') and 'Stimmen' are cast ('Stimmen abgeben'). The distinction between 'Erststimme' and 'Zweitstimme' in the German electoral system might be introduced. In terms of the physical voice, B1 learners use more nuanced verbs like 'erheben' (to raise) or 'senken' (to lower). They also encounter 'Stimme' in more abstract contexts, such as 'die Stimme der Mehrheit' (the voice of the majority). The word is used to express opinions and participate in discussions. Learners should be able to follow a debate and identify different 'Stimmen' (points of view). Writing tasks might require them to describe a person's vocal expression as a way to convey emotion or character in a story. They also learn the difference between 'stimmen' (to vote/to be correct) and 'abstimmen' (to vote/to coordinate).

At the B2 level, 'Stimme' is used in complex metaphorical and formal contexts. Learners explore the 'Stimme' of an author in literature or the 'Stimme' of a generation. The vocabulary expands to include technical terms like 'Stimmrecht' (right to vote) and 'Stimmgewaltig' (having a powerful voice). Learners are expected to understand nuances in register—how a 'Stimme' can be 'gebügelt' (monotone/controlled) or 'belegt' (husky). In political discussions, they use 'Stimme' to discuss democratic participation and the influence of different interest groups. They can handle complex sentence structures involving the noun, such as 'Trotz der heiseren Stimme hielt er die Rede zu Ende' (Despite the hoarse voice, he finished the speech). Exercises focus on synonyms and antonyms, as well as the ability to paraphrase sentences containing 'Stimme' in its various meanings. They also learn about 'Stimmungsbilder' (polls/snapshots of public opinion) and how 'Stimme' contributes to the overall 'Stimmung'.

C1 learners use 'Stimme' with high precision in academic, literary, and professional settings. They analyze the 'Stimmführung' (voice leading) in music or the 'Stimmmodulation' in public speaking. The word appears in philosophical contexts, such as 'die innere Stimme' (the inner voice/conscience) or 'die Stimme des Blutes' (an archaic, often problematic term for ancestry). In political science, they discuss 'Stimmengewichtung' (weighting of votes) and 'Stimmenkauf' (vote-buying). C1 learners are expected to recognize subtle irony or sarcasm conveyed through 'Stimme' in complex audio texts. They can use the word in sophisticated idiomatic expressions like 'jemandem eine Stimme verleihen' (to give someone a voice/represent them). Their writing shows a mastery of the noun's placement in complex clauses and its interaction with advanced adjectives like 'markant' (striking), 'eindringlich' (haunting/urgent), or 'brüchig' (fragile).

At the C2 level, the mastery of 'Stimme' is near-native. This includes an appreciation for its use in classical literature (e.g., Goethe or Schiller) and its role in complex legal and constitutional language. A C2 learner understands the historical evolution of the word and its etymological cousins. They can engage in deep analysis of 'Stimmästhetik' (voice aesthetics) and the socio-political implications of 'Stimmverlust' (loss of voice/influence) in marginalized groups. They are comfortable with highly specialized terms like 'Stimmritze' (glottis) in a medical context or 'Stimmbeteiligung' (voter turnout) in a statistical context. At this level, the learner can play with the word's multiple meanings simultaneously in creative writing or rhetorical speeches. They can distinguish between the most subtle shades of vocal timbre and use 'Stimme' to describe the 'spirit' of a law or a movement. The focus is on total fluidity and the ability to use 'Stimme' to express the most abstract and nuanced human experiences.

Stimme 30秒で

Stimme means 'voice' (the sound you make when speaking).
It also means 'vote' (your choice in an election).
It is a feminine noun: die Stimme, plural die Stimmen.
Commonly used with verbs like 'hören' (hear) and 'abgeben' (cast/vote).

The German noun Stimme is a multi-faceted word that primarily translates to 'voice' in English. At its most basic level, it refers to the sound produced by humans when speaking or singing. However, its semantic range extends significantly into the realms of politics and music. In a democratic context, Stimme means 'vote'—the expression of a choice in an election. In music, it refers to a specific vocal or instrumental part within a composition. Understanding 'Stimme' requires recognizing whether the context is physiological, political, or artistic.

Physiological Voice: The acoustic signal generated by the vocal cords. Example: 'Sie hat eine schöne Stimme' (She has a beautiful voice).

Seine Stimme zitterte vor Angst, als er die Nachricht hörte.

Political Vote: The individual choice cast in an election or ballot. Example: 'Geben Sie Ihre Stimme ab' (Cast your vote).

Historically, the word derives from Old High German 'stimna', related to the concept of 'calling' or 'shouting'. This connection to communication remains central. When someone is 'gut bei Stimme' (in good voice), they are physically capable of speaking or singing well. Conversely, 'die Stimme erheben' (to raise one's voice) can mean either increasing volume or speaking up against injustice. The versatility of 'Stimme' makes it an essential A1 word that grows in complexity as you reach C2 levels of political and philosophical discourse.

Jede Stimme zählt bei dieser wichtigen Wahl.

Musical Part: A specific line in a score, such as the 'Sopranstimme' (soprano voice/part).

Using Stimme correctly involves mastering its gender (feminine: die Stimme) and its common verb pairings. Whether you are describing a person's vocal quality or participating in a committee meeting, the word functions as a standard feminine noun. In the plural, it becomes Stimmen. For beginners, focus on simple descriptions: 'leise' (quiet), 'laute' (loud), or 'angenehme' (pleasant) Stimme.

Adjective Agreement: Since it is feminine, use -e endings in the nominative: 'Eine dunkle Stimme' (A dark/deep voice).

Ich kann deine Stimme kaum hören, bitte sprich lauter.

In political contexts, the verb 'abgeben' is crucial. You don't just 'vote'; you 'give your voice off' (seine Stimme abgeben). This is the formal way to say 'to cast a vote'. If you are 'stimmberechtigt', you have the right to vote. In more advanced usage, 'Stimme' can be used metaphorically, such as 'die Stimme der Vernunft' (the voice of reason). This abstract usage follows the same grammatical rules as the physical one.

Er hat seine Stimme dem Kandidaten der Opposition gegeben.

Common Verbs: hören (to hear), erkennen (to recognize), verlieren (to lose), abgeben (to cast/vote).

You will encounter Stimme in almost every facet of German life. In daily conversation, it's used to discuss how someone sounds on the phone or in person. On the news (Tagesschau), you will hear it constantly during election cycles. In a musical setting, like an opera house or a choir rehearsal, the conductor will refer to the 'erste Stimme' (first voice/part) or 'zweite Stimme'.

Die Stimme des Nachrichtensprechers war sehr deutlich.

In literature, authors often describe the 'innere Stimme' (inner voice/conscience) of their characters. In psychological or medical contexts, 'Stimmen hören' (hearing voices) refers to auditory hallucinations. Furthermore, in the workplace, a manager might ask for the 'Stimmen' of the team members during a decision-making process, meaning their opinions or formal votes.

Public Announcements: 'Bitte achten Sie auf die Stimme aus dem Lautsprecher' (Please pay attention to the voice from the loudspeaker).

Im Radio hört man viele verschiedene Stimmen.

A frequent mistake for English speakers is confusing 'Stimme' with 'Stimmung'. While they look similar, Stimmung means 'mood' or 'atmosphere'. If you say 'Die Stimme ist gut', you are talking about someone's vocal quality or a specific vote. If you want to say 'The mood is good', you must use 'Die Stimmung ist gut'.

Stimme vs. Stimmung: Stimme = Voice/Vote. Stimmung = Mood/Atmosphere. Don't mix them up!

Falsch: Die Stimme auf der Party war toll. (Unless you mean one specific person's voice!)

Another error involves the plural. Remember that 'Stimmen' is used for both 'voices' and 'votes'. In English, we 'cast a vote', but in German, we 'give a voice' (eine Stimme abgeben). Using the English literal translation 'einen Votum werfen' is incorrect and sounds very unnatural. Additionally, ensure you use the correct preposition: 'mit' einer Stimme (with a voice), but 'für' jemanden stimmen (to vote for someone—note that 'stimmen' here is the verb).

To truly master 'Stimme', it helps to compare it with related terms like 'Votum', 'Wahl', and 'Klang'. While 'Stimme' is the general word for vote, 'Votum' is more formal and often used in academic or high-level political contexts. 'Wahl' refers to the election itself, not the individual vote cast.

Stimme vs. Klang: 'Stimme' is the human voice; 'Klang' is the sound or tone of an instrument or object.

Der Klang der Geige war schön, aber die Stimme der Sängerin war besser.

In the context of singing, you might hear 'Gesang' (singing). 'Gesang' refers to the act or the art of singing, while 'Stimme' refers to the physical instrument. In politics, 'Stimmzettel' is the physical piece of paper (ballot) on which you record your 'Stimme'. Understanding these distinctions prevents the 'word-for-word' translation trap that many learners fall into.

Stimme vs. Ruf: 'Ruf' can mean a shout or a reputation. 'Stimme' is the steady vocal quality.
