When to use erst & schon in German | How to emphasize time

In German when we talk about time we often use the words "erst" and "schon" to emphasize if something is late / early or if you still have a lot of time or only a little. At the end it all comes down to perception. Something might be early for you, but for another person it is late. And this is also a reason why it seems very hard to use for German language learners.
The adverb "schon" (already) is used in the same way like in other languages as well. But the problem is the other adverb "erst", which has not only a lot of different translations, but is used in German in a very unique way. Not easy to explain, but hopefully this video will help you to understand the usage of erst & schon a bit better. And in the bonus tip at the end you get to know the difference between "nur" and "erst".

    • Hey I'm Anna , Love your videos. So today I've been learning German and I had a doubt when I read a sentence. Can you please explain? I'm soo confused. Please help. So the sentence is :- Als der Sänger dann in Sarahs Wohnzimmer den ersten Ton sang, bekam ich eine Gänsehaut. In this sentence, Wann is used. Why is it used? It makes no sense. Can you please explain as soon as possible 🙏🙏🙏.

    • Proof I need to study more German, and not fall for "semi-false" cognates. Two mistakes I made reading this, thinking of the word 'unglaublich' as 'unlikely' and 'erklärung' as clarity. Oddly enough the phrase "unlikely teacher = unlikely clarity" could sound very positive in English and very literary as you'd find in an old book. That it's a good thing that despite something being unlikely, it could occur. I love how German makes me thing about language in general! And great video, vielen dank! @yourgermanteacher

    • Ja, das ist richtig. "schon" kann auch als Modalpartikel verwendet werden. Eine genaue Übersetzung ist dann leider nicht wirklich möglich. Es ist in diesem Satz eine Betonung, die ausdrücken soll, dass Düsseldorf nicht großartig ist, aber auch nicht schlecht. Evtl. könnte es das hier ganz gut treffen: Yes, it's kind of ok. 👍🙂🙏
