설명 Normalerweise in your Level:

At the A1 level, you learn 'normalerweise' to talk about your daily routine. It is one of the first 'long' words you encounter, but it is very useful. You use it to tell people what you usually do: 'Normalerweise trinke ich Kaffee.' The most important thing at this level is the word order. In German, the verb is always in the second position. If you start with 'Normalerweise', the verb must come next, and then the person (I, you, he). For example: 'Normalerweise (1) esse (2) ich (3) Brot.' This is different from English, where we say 'Normally (1) I (2) eat (3) bread.' At A1, you don't need to worry about the deep philosophy of the word; just use it to describe your habits like sleeping, eating, and working. It helps you sound more natural than just saying 'Ich esse Brot' every time. It adds a layer of 'usually' to your basic sentences. You will also hear it in simple questions like 'Was machst du normalerweise am Samstag?' (What do you normally do on Saturday?). Practice saying it slowly: nor-mal-er-wei-se. It has five syllables. Don't be afraid of its length! It is a very friendly word that helps you explain that you have a regular life. You can also use it to explain why you are doing something different today: 'Normalerweise gehe ich zu Fuß, aber heute nehme ich den Bus.' This is a classic A1 sentence structure that shows you can compare two different situations.

At the A2 level, 'normalerweise' becomes a tool for describing social norms and more complex habits. You start to use it in the past tense (Präteritum or Perfekt) to talk about how things used to be: 'Normalerweise haben wir immer im Garten gespielt.' You also learn to place it correctly in sentences with modal verbs like 'können', 'müssen', or 'wollen'. For example: 'Ich muss normalerweise um acht Uhr im Büro sein.' Notice how 'normalerweise' sits after the modal verb but before the rest of the information. At this level, you also begin to distinguish between 'normalerweise' and 'meistens'. While 'meistens' just means 'most of the time', 'normalerweise' implies that there is a reason or a standard behind the action. You will use it to talk about weather patterns, typical holiday traditions, and workplace expectations. It is also very helpful for making excuses or explaining deviations from a plan. If you are late, you might say: 'Normalerweise bin ich pünktlich, aber der Bus hatte Verspätung.' This shows a higher level of communicative competence because you are managing your 'image' in the eyes of the listener. You are also expected to use it in subordinate clauses with 'weil' or 'dass'. For example: 'Ich bin fit, weil ich normalerweise viel Sport treibe.' Remember that in 'weil' clauses, the verb goes to the very end, so 'normalerweise' will be somewhere in the middle. This level is all about expanding your range of expression and 'normalerweise' is a key part of that expansion.

At the B1 level, you use 'normalerweise' to discuss societal trends, cultural differences, and more abstract concepts. You might compare what is 'normal' in your home country versus Germany. 'Normalerweise isst man in meinem Land später zu Abend als in Deutschland.' This requires you to use the impersonal 'man' (one/people) along with the adverb. You also start to encounter synonyms like 'in der Regel' or 'üblicherweise' in reading texts, and you should be able to understand the slight shift in formality. At B1, you are expected to handle 'normalerweise' in all tenses and in more complex sentence structures, including the passive voice: 'Normalerweise wird das Paket innerhalb von zwei Tagen geliefert.' (Normally, the package is delivered within two days.) You also use it to express expectations that weren't met, often in combination with the subjunctive II (Konjunktiv II): 'Normalerweise müsste das klappen.' (Normally, that should work.) This adds a layer of nuance to your speech, allowing you to express doubt or theoretical possibilities. You'll also see it used in professional emails to describe standard procedures. It's no longer just about your breakfast; it's about how systems and societies function. You should also be comfortable using it with various prepositions and in more descriptive narratives. For instance, in a presentation about your hobby, you might say: 'Normalerweise trainiere ich dreimal pro Woche, es sei denn, ich habe viel zu tun.' This 'es sei denn' (unless) construction is a perfect partner for 'normalerweise' at the B1 level.

At the B2 level, 'normalerweise' is used with precision to define 'standard conditions' in technical, academic, or professional arguments. You will use it to establish a baseline before introducing a complex counter-argument or a specific case study. For example: 'Normalerweise geht man davon aus, dass steigende Preise zu sinkender Nachfrage führen, doch in diesem Fall...' (Normally, one assumes that rising prices lead to falling demand, but in this case...). Here, 'normalerweise' acts as a rhetorical device to set up a 'Straw Man' or a general consensus that you are about to analyze or challenge. You should also be aware of its role in 'Heckenausdrücke' (hedging expressions), where you use it to avoid making overly broad or absolute statements. Instead of saying 'Germans are punctual,' you say 'Normalerweise sind Deutsche pünktlich,' which is more accurate and less stereotypical. You will also encounter the word in more sophisticated literature and news reports, where it might be used to describe historical norms or statistical averages. At this level, your word order should be flawless, even in very long, nested sentences. You should also be able to use the noun forms 'die Normalität' or 'der Normalfall' to discuss the concept of 'normalcy' itself, especially in political or social contexts (e.g., 'die Rückkehr zur Normalität' after a crisis). Your ability to use 'normalerweise' to structure an argument—moving from the general rule to the specific exception—is a key marker of B2 proficiency.

At the C1 level, 'normalerweise' is often replaced by more specific or formal terms like 'im Regelfall', 'standardmäßig', or 'herkömmlicherweise', but it remains a vital part of the stylistic repertoire for creating contrast. You use it to discuss philosophical or scientific 'norms'. For instance, in a discussion about ethics, you might explore what 'normalerweise' constitutes 'good' behavior in a specific culture. You will also use it in highly complex hypothetical scenarios: 'Hätte er sich normalerweise anders verhalten, wenn er die Konsequenzen gekannt hätte?' (Would he normally have behaved differently if he had known the consequences?). This combines the adverb with the past subjunctive and complex word order. At C1, you also recognize the pragmatic functions of the word—how it can be used to imply sarcasm, irony, or a shared cultural understanding that doesn't need to be explicitly stated. For example, saying 'Normalerweise...' and then trailing off can imply 'You know how it is, things never go as planned.' You are also expected to understand its use in specialized fields like statistics (normal distribution - Normalverteilung) or law (standard interpretation). Your use of the word should be effortless, integrated into a flow of speech that uses a wide variety of connectors and modal particles to add shade and meaning to every sentence. You understand that 'normalerweise' is not just about frequency, but about the 'normative' power of expectations in human interaction.

At the C2 level, you have a complete mastery of 'normalerweise' and its place within the vast landscape of German adverbs. You can use it to dissect the very concept of 'normality' in a deconstructive way. In a C2-level essay or speech, you might analyze how 'normalerweise' is a socially constructed category that changes over time. You use the word with absolute grammatical precision, even in the most convoluted 'Schachtelsätze' (nested sentences) typical of high-level academic German. You can effortlessly switch between 'normalerweise', 'tendenziell', 'gewohnheitsmäßig', and 'paradigmatisch' to convey the exact flavor of 'usually' that you intend. You also understand the etymological roots and how the suffix '-weise' functions across the entire language, allowing you to coin new adverbs if necessary (though 'normalerweise' is already well-established). At this level, the word is a small but precise tool in a very large toolbox. You might use it in a literary analysis to describe a character's 'normal' state of mind before a psychological break, or in a scientific paper to describe the 'normal' behavior of a quantum particle before an observation. You are also sensitive to the subtle differences in regional usage or the way the word's meaning might shift slightly in different German-speaking countries (Germany vs. Austria vs. Switzerland), although 'normalerweise' is quite standard across the 'D-A-CH' region. Your mastery is such that you can use the word to create subtle humor or profound insight into the human condition and its reliance on patterns and norms.

Normalerweise 30초 만에

Normalerweise means 'usually' or 'normally' and describes standard habits or expected rules.
It is an adverb, not a noun, and often triggers inverted word order (Verb-Subject).
It is used to establish a baseline before explaining an exception with 'aber' (but).
Common synonyms include 'meistens' (mostly) and 'in der Regel' (as a rule).

The German word normalerweise is a fundamental adverb that every learner must master to describe habits, routines, and expectations. At its core, it translates to 'normally' or 'usually' in English. It is derived from the adjective 'normal' combined with the suffix '-weise', which is a productive way in German to turn nouns or adjectives into adverbs, similar to the English suffix '-wise' (as in 'likewise') or '-ly'. Understanding this word is crucial because it sets the baseline for what is expected in a given situation. When a German speaker uses normalerweise, they are establishing a standard pattern of behavior or a natural state of affairs from which the current situation might deviate.

Frequency and Probability: In the hierarchy of German frequency adverbs, normalerweise sits comfortably between 'oft' (often) and 'immer' (always). It suggests a probability of about 80-90%. It is less about the strict count of occurrences and more about the 'norm' or the rule. If you say you 'normally' drink coffee, it implies that unless something unusual happens, coffee is your choice.

Normalerweise fahre ich mit dem Bus zur Arbeit, aber heute nehme ich das Fahrrad.

The cultural weight of 'normalerweise' in Germany cannot be overstated. German culture often values structure, punctuality, and 'Ordnung' (order). Therefore, defining what happens 'normally' is a way of communicating reliability. When someone deviates from the 'normalerweise' path, they usually provide a reason (the 'aber' or 'but' clause). This word acts as a linguistic anchor, allowing speakers to contrast their general life patterns with specific, exceptional events. It is used in professional settings to describe standard operating procedures, in personal life to discuss hobbies, and in scientific contexts to describe typical results.

The Suffix -weise: The suffix '-weise' comes from the Old High German 'wīsa', meaning 'way' or 'manner'. Thus, normalerweise literally means 'in a normal way'. Other examples include 'glücklicherweise' (fortunately/in a lucky way) and 'beispielsweise' (for example/in an example way). Understanding this pattern helps learners decode dozens of other German adverbs instantly.

Es regnet hier normalerweise nicht so viel im Juli.

Furthermore, normalerweise is often used to soften requests or complaints. By saying 'Normalerweise machen wir das anders' (Normally we do this differently), a speaker can point out a mistake or a deviation without being overly aggressive. It appeals to a shared understanding of 'the norm' rather than personal preference. In academic and technical writing, it serves to describe the 'default' state of a system or the expected behavior of a variable under standard conditions. It is a versatile tool that bridges the gap between simple daily conversation and complex logical argumentation.

Social Expectations: In social contexts, this word is used to manage expectations. If you tell a friend, 'Normalerweise bin ich pünktlich,' you are apologizing in advance for being late while asserting that your character is generally reliable. It functions as a face-saving device in polite German society.

Wir essen normalerweise um 19 Uhr zu Abend.

Hast du normalerweise am Wochenende Zeit?

Mastering the placement of normalerweise is the key to sounding like a native German speaker. Because it is an adverb, it enjoys a certain amount of flexibility in the sentence, but it must obey the strict laws of German syntax, specifically the 'Verb-Second' (V2) rule in main clauses. This means that if you choose to start your sentence with normalerweise to give it emphasis, the inflected verb must immediately follow it, pushing the subject to the third position.

The Front Position (Emphasis): When you want to emphasize that something is a general rule, you put normalerweise at the very beginning.
Example: Normalerweise (1) trinke (2) ich (3) keinen Alkohol. (Normally, I don't drink alcohol.) This structure is very common when you are about to explain an exception.

Normalerweise antwortet er sofort auf meine E-Mails.

If you don't want to emphasize the word, it usually follows the inflected verb (and the pronoun subject, if applicable). This is the 'neutral' position. In a sentence with only one verb, it looks like this: Ich trinke normalerweise Tee. If there is a direct object pronoun, the adverb usually follows it: Ich gebe es normalerweise meinem Bruder. However, if the object is a noun, the adverb often precedes it: Ich gebe normalerweise meinem Bruder das Geld. This nuance allows for subtle shifts in focus within the sentence.

Compound Verbs and Tenses: In sentences with modal verbs or in the perfect tense, normalerweise stays in the middle of the 'sentence bracket' (Satzklammer).
Example: Ich habe normalerweise um 17 Uhr Feierabend gemacht. (I normally finished work at 5 PM.) The adverb sits after the auxiliary verb 'habe' and before the past participle 'gemacht'.

Wir können normalerweise erst ab 14 Uhr in das Hotel einchecken.

Another interesting usage is in subordinate clauses. In German, the verb moves to the end of a subordinate clause (introduced by 'weil', 'dass', 'wenn', etc.). In these cases, normalerweise stays in the middle of the clause.
Example: Ich bin müde, weil ich normalerweise länger schlafe. (I am tired because I normally sleep longer.) Here, the adverb provides the context for the reason being stated. It is also frequently used in questions to ask about standard procedures: Wie läuft das normalerweise ab? (How does that normally work/proceed?)

Negation with 'Nicht': When negating a sentence with normalerweise, the position of 'nicht' depends on what you are negating. Usually, you are saying that the 'normal' state is 'not doing something'.
Example: Ich rauche normalerweise nicht. (I normally don't smoke.) Here, 'nicht' follows the adverb to negate the action within the 'normal' framework.

Das ist normalerweise kein Problem für uns.

Wo kaufst du normalerweise dein Gemüse?

You will encounter normalerweise in almost every facet of German life, from the mundane to the highly professional. It is a 'bread and butter' word for navigating daily interactions. In a German household, you'll hear it when discussing chores or schedules: 'Normalerweise wäscht Papa das Geschirr.' In the workplace, it is the standard term for describing workflows: 'Normalerweise schicken wir die Rechnung erst nach der Lieferung.' It serves as a linguistic buffer that manages expectations and defines the boundaries of 'standard' behavior.

At the Doctor's Office: Medical professionals use it to describe typical symptoms or recovery times. 'Normalerweise klingen die Schmerzen nach drei Tagen ab.' (Normally, the pain subsides after three days.) It helps patients understand what to expect without making an absolute guarantee.

Normalerweise dauert die Untersuchung nur zehn Minuten.

In the realm of travel and public transport—a frequent topic of conversation in Germany—normalerweise is used to contrast the schedule with reality. 'Normalerweise ist der Zug pünktlich, aber heute gibt es eine Signalstörung.' This usage highlights the German expectation of efficiency and the frustration when that 'norm' is broken. You'll also hear it in weather forecasts: 'Normalerweise ist es im April wechselhaft.' It provides a statistical baseline for the listener to compare current conditions against.

Customer Service and Retail: When you ask for a refund or a special service, the clerk might say, 'Normalerweise brauchen wir einen Kassenbon.' (Normally we need a receipt.) This often implies that they might make an exception for you, or it clearly states the policy to avoid confusion.

Wir haben normalerweise bis 20 Uhr geöffnet.

In academic lectures or technical manuals, normalerweise is used to describe the standard behavior of physical laws or software functions. 'Normalerweise speichert das Programm die Daten automatisch.' It is a precise way to describe a default setting. Even in legal contexts, it can appear when discussing 'standard' interpretations of a law, though 'in der Regel' is often preferred there for a more formal tone. Essentially, whenever a German speaker wants to say 'This is how things usually go,' normalerweise is their first choice.

Social Media and Blogs: Influencers often use it to contrast their 'curated' life with their 'normal' life. 'Normalerweise sehe ich morgens nicht so fit aus.' (Normally I don't look this fit in the morning.) It builds a sense of authenticity and relatability with the audience.

Ich poste normalerweise jeden zweiten Tag ein neues Video.

Wie macht ihr das normalerweise mit dem Trinkgeld?

Even though normalerweise seems straightforward, English speakers often fall into several linguistic traps. The most common error is related to word order. In English, we can say 'Normally I go to the gym.' In German, you cannot say 'Normalerweise ich gehe ins Fitnessstudio.' This is a 'V2' violation. The verb must be the second element. The correct form is 'Normalerweise gehe ich ins Fitnessstudio.' This 'inverted' word order is the number one mistake for A1 and A2 learners.

Adjective vs. Adverb Confusion: Learners often confuse the adverb normalerweise with the adjective normal. You use normal to describe a noun ('ein normaler Tag') or as a predicate ('Das ist normal'). You use normalerweise to describe an action or the frequency of an event. You cannot say 'Das ist normalerweise' to mean 'That is normal'.

Falsch: Normalerweise ich esse Brot.
Richtig: Normalerweise esse ich Brot.

Another subtle mistake is the over-reliance on normalerweise when other adverbs like 'meistens' (mostly) or 'in der Regel' (as a rule) would be more appropriate. While normalerweise refers to a 'norm', 'meistens' refers to a simple majority of times. If you do something 60% of the time, 'meistens' is better. If you do it because it is the standard or expected way, normalerweise is the winner. Mixing these up won't make you incomprehensible, but it will make you sound slightly less precise.

Position with 'Nicht': Placement of the negative particle 'nicht' can be tricky. If you want to say 'I don't usually do that,' the 'nicht' should come after the adverb: 'Ich mache das normalerweise nicht.' Placing 'nicht' before 'normalerweise' ('Ich mache das nicht normalerweise') sounds like you are saying 'I do it, but not in a normal way,' which is rarely what you mean.

Falsch: Ich bin normalerweise müde. (When you mean 'I am normally tired')
Richtig: Normalerweise bin ich müde.

Finally, watch out for the 'false friend' trap. In some contexts, English 'normally' can mean 'in a normal manner' (e.g., 'He is breathing normally'). In German, you would use the adjective/adverb 'normal' for this: 'Er atmet normal.' Using normalerweise here ('Er atmet normalerweise') would mean 'He usually breathes,' which sounds absurdly redundant. Always ask yourself: Am I talking about frequency/habit, or the manner in which something is done? If it's frequency, use normalerweise.

The 'Noun' Misconception: Some learners see the capital 'N' at the start of a sentence and think Normalerweise is a noun. It is never a noun. The related nouns are 'Die Norm' (the norm) or 'Die Normalität' (normality). You cannot put an article before normalerweise.

Falsch: Das ist eine Normalerweise.
Richtig: Das ist die Norm.

Falsch: Er arbeitet normalerweise (when meaning 'he works in a normal way').
Richtig: Er arbeitet ganz normal.

To truly master German, you need to know when to use normalerweise and when to reach for a synonym. While normalerweise is the most common all-rounder, German offers several nuances for 'usually' or 'normally' that can make your speech more precise and sophisticated. Choosing the right alternative depends on whether you are talking about a strict rule, a simple majority of cases, or a traditional habit.

In der Regel (As a rule): This is the more formal cousin of normalerweise. You will find it in legal texts, official regulations, and academic writing. It implies that there is a formal 'Regel' (rule) governing the situation.
Example: In der Regel beträgt die Kündigungsfrist drei Monate. (As a rule, the notice period is three months.)

In der Regel sind unsere Produkte ab Lager lieferbar.

Another common alternative is meistens (mostly/usually). While normalerweise refers to the 'norm', meistens is purely quantitative. If you go to the cinema 7 out of 10 Fridays, you go 'meistens'. It is slightly less formal than normalerweise and very common in casual conversation. Then there is gewöhnlich (usually/customarily). This word is closely related to 'Gewohnheit' (habit). Use it when you want to emphasize that something is a long-standing personal or cultural habit.

Meistens vs. Normalerweise: Meistens: Statistical frequency (More than 50%).
Normalerweise: Expected behavior or standard procedure.
If a train is late 90% of the time, it is 'meistens' late, even if 'normalerweise' (according to the schedule) it should be on time.

Ich trinke meistens Wasser zum Mittagessen.

For even more variety, consider im Normalfall (in the normal case). This is very similar to normalerweise but functions as a prepositional phrase. It is often used in logic or troubleshooting: 'Im Normalfall leuchtet die Lampe grün.' If you want to say 'usually' in the sense of 'for the most part', you can use größtenteils or vorwiegend, though these are more about 'mostly' than 'normally'. Finally, eigentlich (actually/normally) is a very common 'filler' word that can sometimes function like normalerweise when expressing a frustrated expectation: 'Eigentlich sollte das funktionieren!'

자주 하는 실수

In German, the verb must be the second element in a main clause. If you start with 'Normalerweise', the verb must come next.
Das ist ein normalerweise Tag. → Das ist ein normaler Tag.
You cannot use 'normalerweise' as an adjective to describe a noun. Use 'normal' instead.
Ich bin normalerweise. → Das ist normal.
'Normalerweise' is an adverb and needs a verb to modify. You can't use it as a standalone predicate adjective.

The negation 'nicht' should follow the adverb when negating a habit.
Er atmet normalerweise. → Er atmet normal.
If you mean 'in a normal manner', use 'normal'. 'Normalerweise' means 'usually', which sounds strange here.

팁

The V2 Rule

Always remember that if 'Normalerweise' is the first word, the verb MUST be the second. 'Normalerweise gehe ich...' is correct. 'Normalerweise ich gehe...' is the most common mistake for English speakers.

Suffix -weise

Learn the '-weise' suffix. It turns adjectives into adverbs. Knowing this helps you understand words like 'glücklicherweise' (fortunately) and 'möglicherweise' (possibly) instantly.

Rhythm and Flow

Practice saying the word in one breath. It has a musical rhythm: da-DA-da-da-da. Mastering the pronunciation of long adverbs like this will significantly boost your perceived fluency.

The 'Aber' Contrast

Use 'normalerweise' to set up a contrast. It's a great way to tell a story: 'Normalerweise mache ich X, aber heute ist Y passiert.' This structure is very common in natural German conversation.

Identifying Habits

When you hear 'normalerweise', your brain should immediately flag that the speaker is talking about a habit or a rule, not a one-time event. This helps you categorize the information you are hearing.

Sentence Variety

Don't always put 'normalerweise' at the start. Move it around! 'Ich trinke normalerweise Tee' sounds more relaxed than 'Normalerweise trinke ich Tee', which sounds more emphatic.

German 'Ordnung'

Using 'normalerweise' shows you respect the idea of a 'norm'. It's a very 'German' way of thinking—defining the rule before discussing the exception.

Normalerweise vs. Meistens

Use 'normalerweise' for things that *should* happen or are the standard. Use 'meistens' for things that *actually* happen most of the time. Sometimes they are the same, but not always!

A2/B1 Exams

This word is a 'points-earner' in speaking exams. Using it correctly with inverted word order shows the examiner you have mastered a key part of German syntax.

Visualizing the Norm

Visualize a factory conveyor belt. Everything is the same. That is 'normalerweise'. When a strange item appears, that is the 'Ausnahme' (exception).

암기하기

기억법

Think of 'Normal-er-Wise'. A 'Normal' person is 'Wise' enough to follow the 'Usually' accepted way.

시각적 연상

Imagine a straight line (the norm) and a small dot jumping off the line (the exception). 'Normalerweise' is the straight line.

Word Web

챌린지

어원

Derived from the adjective 'normal', which comes from the Latin 'normalis' (made according to a carpenter's square), from 'norma' (rule, pattern, square). The suffix '-weise' comes from the Old High German 'wīsa', meaning 'way' or 'manner'.

원래 의미: In a manner that follows the rule or the square.

Germanic (suffix) with Latin (root).

문화적 맥락

Be careful when using 'normalerweise' to describe people's behavior, as it can imply that anything else is 'abnormal'. In modern inclusive German, people often prefer 'meistens' to avoid judgmental 'normative' language.

English speakers often use 'normally' as an adjective ('He's a normally guy'), which is a huge mistake in German. Use 'normal' for people, 'normalerweise' for actions.

자주 묻는 질문

10 질문

Yes, it is very common. However, you must remember to put the verb in the second position and the subject in the third. For example: 'Normalerweise trinke ich Tee.' This provides emphasis on the fact that this is your usual habit.

'Normal' is an adjective used to describe a person, object, or state (e.g., 'ein normaler Mann'). 'Normalerweise' is an adverb used to describe how often or in what manner an action happens (e.g., 'Normalerweise schlafe ich viel'). You cannot use them interchangeably.

It is neutral. You can use it with your friends, your boss, or in a newspaper article. For very formal legal or academic writing, you might prefer 'in der Regel' or 'üblicherweise', but 'normalerweise' is never wrong.

You say 'normalerweise nicht'. The 'nicht' usually follows the adverb. For example: 'Ich trinke normalerweise keinen Kaffee.' This clearly states that coffee-drinking is not part of your normal routine.

German often builds words by combining parts. 'Normal' + 'er' (connecting element) + 'weise' (manner/way). While it looks long to English speakers, it follows a very predictable pattern used for many German adverbs like 'glücklicherweise'.

No. For 'in a normal way', use the adverbial form of the adjective 'normal'. For example: 'Er atmet ganz normal.' (He is breathing quite normally). 'Normalerweise' only means 'usually' or 'as a rule'.

No. Adverbs in German do not have endings (declensions). It is always 'normalerweise', regardless of the gender, number, or case of the nouns in the sentence.

The most direct opposite is 'ausnahmsweise' (as an exception/for once). If you want to say 'rarely', use 'selten'. If you want to say 'unusually', use 'ungewöhnlicherweise'.

In a subordinate clause (like those starting with 'weil', 'dass', or 'wenn'), the verb goes to the end. 'Normalerweise' usually stays in the middle. Example: 'Ich bin müde, weil ich normalerweise früher schlafe.'

It is written as one word: 'normalerweise'. Writing it as two words ('normaler Weise') is an old-fashioned spelling that is no longer standard in modern German.
