  • "Wie ist deine Addresse?" means "Where is your address?".
    • I am not sure on why "wie" (how) is used here, instead of using of "wo" (where). I think this is specifically for German language.
    • The "ist" means that the address that we are talking about is an "it" so it uses "er"/"sie"/"es"'s "ist".
    • So the "Addresse" (the noun) will determine which "to be" to use.
  • "Wie ist ihre Addresse?" is formal way to say "Where is your address?".
    • This is the same way to ask "Where is your address?" however the use of "ihre" here is because it is the possessive of "Sie".
    • And, "ihre" is not "ihr" because the "Addresse" is a feminine noun.
  • "Wo die Person wohnt?" means "Where is this person live?".
    • "Wohnt" is come from "er"/"sie"/"es" "wohnt".
    • For example, "Wo wohnen sie?" means "Where do they live?".

  • "Geboren" means "bear".
  • "Geborte" means "born".
  • This is quite weird because in English the verb 1 is "bear" while the verb 2 is "born".
  • While in German "geboren" means born, while "geborte" means the past version of "geboren". While in English "geboren" itself is already verb 2.
