A1 Expression 正式

Gehen Sie geradeaus.

Go straight ahead.

意思

A direction to proceed in a straight line.

🌍

文化背景

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.
