Itâs winter, so I thought it would be the ideal opportunity to talk about the weather and the various traditional events we generally do in winter, especially in Luxembourg.
Did you know the seasons are a topic of the Sproochentest Oral Exam? If your goal is to sit the language exam to acquire Luxembourgish citizenship in the upcoming months, then tune in.
De Wanter is a masc. noun so the winter is de Wanter. And in winter is am Wanter . Example: In Winter it is cold: Am Wanter ass et kal. ââLetâs start to talk about the weather
Prett? Da lass!
- Mir schwĂ€tzen fir dâĂ©ischt iwwer dâWieder. DâWieder = the weather
WĂ©i ass dâWieder am Wanter zu LĂ«tzebuerg: How is the weather in Lux in Winter?
Am Wanter ass et meeschtens reenereg, gro a kal. Et ginn e puer sonneg Deeg awer meeschtens ass et bedeckt. DâTemperaturen bleiwen oft Ă«nnert 10 Grad, sou tĂ«scht -4 an 6 Grad.
In Winter itâs mostly rainy, grey and cold. There are a few sunny days but it is mostly cloudy. The temp stay often under 10 degrees, so between -4 âŠ
Et ass seelen lëfteg allerdéngs bléist e kale wand and et schneit heiansdo. It is not often windy however a cold wind is blowing and sometimes it snows.
To snow = schneien - pronunciation - it is snowing = et schneit: et schneit net oft zu LĂ«tz.
The snow = de Schnéi - mir haten leschte Wanter vill Schnéi - we had a lot of snow last winter
Am Wanter ginn dâLĂ«tzebuerger och gĂ€r an de Wantersport. Here we mean the winter sports holiday. Beipsill: Mir ginn Ă«mmer am Februar an de Wantersport fir Schi ze fueren: We always go to wintersportsd during vacation to skiing.
An de Wantersport goen / fueren = to go to wintersports
Schi fueren = to skiing
De Wanter zu LĂ«tzebuerg dauert 3 MĂ©int an zwar vum 21. Dez bis den 21. MĂ€erz.
Am Dezember ginn et vill traditionnel Fester an Evenementer. Dec is is filled with many traditions and events in Luxembourg. Hei sinn e puer typesch Fester Here are some typical feasts.
Niklosdag oder Kleeserchersdag - den 6. Dezember. Wat ass dâTraditioun: 1 oder 2 Wochen virum 6. Dez stellen dâKanner owes hir Schlappen virum SchlofzĂ«mmer. A wann se brav waren fannen se deen nĂ€chsten Moien SĂ©issegkeeten, Mandarinnen oder NĂ«ss an hire Schlappen. Wann se net brav waren, krĂ©ien se entweeder nĂ€ischt oder eng Rutt.
De 5. Dez stellen dâKanner en Teller virun dâDier mat enger Muert an Hee fir dem Kleeschen sĂ€in Iesel an e Glas MĂ«llech mat Kichelcher fir de Kleeschen.
A moies de 6. Dez fannen dâKanner Spillsaachen, Schockela an Uebst an NĂ«ss um Teller De 6. Dezember ass och schoulfrĂ€i fir dâKanner dĂ©i an dâPrimĂ€rschoul ginn.
The historical custom is that a week or two before the 6 December, children put their slippers outside their bedroom at night. If they have been kind they will find a sweet or chocolate, or nuts or a mandarin inside their shoe the next morning. If they weren't kind then they get either nothing or a Rutt (a small stick or branch representing a switch).
On the night of 5 December, children leave out a plate with some hay or a carrot for Saint Nicolas' donkey and a glass of milk and cookies for the man himself.
And in the morning of Dec 6th chlidren find toys and chocoalte on their plate. The primary school children in state schools also get the day off as a holiday.
An am December fÀnkt och de Chrëschtmaart un , the Christmas market!
â Den traditionnele ChrĂ«schtmaart ass op der PlĂ«ss (Place d'Armes) an och bei der GĂ«ller Fra (the golden lady).Um Chmaart ginn et vill Buden mat ChrĂ«scht Dekoratiounen, puer Attraktioune fir dâKanner an natierlech och, vill Iessbuden mat
đ· GlĂŒhwein (mulled wine) to warm you up oder eng Kippche CrĂ©mant vun der Musel
đœïž an lokal Spez fir zâiessen wĂ©i z. B. Gromperekichelcher (potato pancakes) , LĂ«nsenzopp mat Mettwurscht (lentil soup with Luxembourgish sausage), Raclette
De 25. Dez ass jo ChrĂ«schtdag. DâTraditioun zu LĂ«tz ass datt mir e ChrĂ«scht Beemchen de 6. Dez kafen.
De Chrëschtbeemchen: the christmas tree. Beemchen literally means a small tree. So even if you have a huge Ch tree we still call it e Chrëschtbeemchen.
DâElteren rĂ«schten de Beemchen zesumme mat de Kanner: rĂ«schten = to decorate
the parents decorate de Chbeemchen together with their children
Den Adventskranz: déi meescht Familljen hunn och en Adventskranz doheem. Si maachen dee selwer oder kafen en
Wat ass den ADkranz? Den Adventskranz ass aus DÀnnenÀscht gemaach a mat 4 KÀerzen decoréiert. - meeschtens rout KÀerzen. Den 4. Sonndeg viru Chrdag maachen mir déi 1. KÀerz un an dann eng KÀerz all Sonndeg bis Chrëschtdag
made of fir pine branches, with four candles. On the fourth Sunday before Christmas, the first candle of the wreath is lit
Zum Schluss: Wat iessen dâLĂ«tzebuerger ChrĂ«schtdag: en traditionnelle Menu ass
Als Entree gëtt et oft: eng Zopp z.B eng Britt oder eng Homardszopp Den Haaptplat ass ëmmer mat Fleesch: eng Dinde oder eng Fleesch Fondue oder TrÀipen (bowels) mat Gromperen, oder Puree oder Croquetten an GeméisAls Dessert: Eng Bûche = Christmas logWebsite: https://luxembourgishwithanne.lu

Let me put you to the test: do you know how to say no in Lux? This is NEE is very short and negative. However, sometimes when we wish to say no, depending on the situation and the persons you surrounded with then saying NEE can sound a bit harsh.
Imagine that you are in a Luxembourgish cafĂ© or restaurant, the waiter may ask you if youâd like something else. But youâre fine. Then saying Nee would sound a bit harsh, doesnât it?
So when we wish to say NEE there are more polite ways to do it. I have set out below a number of different ways to say NEE that you can use in different circumstances. Sometimes when we want to say NEE we try not to be rude or to hurt someoneâs feelings so we prefer to use a variety of words that still mean NEE. I am thrilled to not only share in this episode some useful Luxembourgish words for no but also several very useful expressions.
And weâre going to practice saying each of these expressions together naturally so that you can make sure youâre saying NEE the right way.
Prett?
Nee â NoThis is the traditional way to say no in Luxembourgish. You might hear some people saying Neen, but it is just to emphasize the negation. Example:
Child: Mamma, krĂ©ien ech nach eng Cola? â Mom, can I have another coke?
Mother: Nee(n)! Du hues haut genuch Cola gedronk. â No! Youâve had enough coke for today.
In some situations, answering Nee can come across as rude though. so you may want to say Nee merci instead.
Nee Merci. â No thank you.When you buy something at the bakery or order a meal at a restaurant, the waiter or seller is likely to ask you if youâd like something else. If you donât want anything else you can simply say Nee merci or you can answer:
Nee merci, dat ass alles. â No thank you, thatâs all.
Nee merci, ât ass alles an der Rei. â No thank you, Iâm fine.
Or in case someone is offering you some help but you can manage alone you can answer:
Nee merci, dat geet schonn. â No thank you, Iâm fine.
Nee merci, ech ginn eens. â No thank you, Iâll manage.
Ni â neverIf you want to say youâll never do or never did something, you can use ni
Waars du schonn a Schottland? â Have you (informal) ever been to Scotland?
Nee, nach ni. â No, never (so far).
Leider net â Unfortunately notThis is a way often used to politely decline requests while pretending you really wished you could help.
Kann ech e Remboursement krĂ©ien? â Can I get a refund?
Leider net. â Unfortunately not.
Nach net! â Not yet!If youâre supposed to do something, but didnât do it yet, you can use nach net.
Hues dee Film scho gesinn? â Did you see that movie already?
Nee, nach net. â No, not yet.
Et deet mir leed âŠ. â Iâm sorry âŠ.You can decline any offer by starting your answer with Et deet mer leed âŠ
Letâs talk about how to say this. So when spoken, âEtâ is not pronounced and instead of mir native speakers say mer and thus it will sound like this: deet mer leed âŠ. (Watch the video above to practice the pronunciation)
And then you can add the following phrases after Et deet mer leed âŠ.
⊠mee dat geet (leider) net. â âŠ. but I (afraid) canât.Et deet mer leed, mee dat geet leider net. âIâm sorry, but Iâm afraid I canât.
âŠ. dat ass leider net mĂ©iglech. â âŠ. Iâm afraid thatâs not possible.âŠ. mee ech hu (leider) keng ZĂ€it. â ⊠but Iâm (afraid) I have no time.âŠ. mee ech hu schonn eppes vir. â âŠ. but Iâve already something planned.Some useful casual ways to say noThese are often used in every day life conversations. Learn them so to recognise these in conversations and to be able to use them as well.
Ech mengen net. â I donât believe so.
Wahrscheinlech net. â Probably not.
Net datt ech wĂ©isst. â Not at my knowledge.
To say a STRONG NEE you can use one of the following expressions (with someone you know very well!!):
Dat kĂ«nnt net a Fro! â Thatâs out of question! / No way!
Nimools! â Never ever!
BestĂ«mmt net! â Certainly not.
Lets practiceTry to translate the following sentences into Luxembourgish:
Iâm afraid, thatâs not possible.I donât have time on Friday.Iâm sorry, but Iâm afraid I canât come to your party on Saturday.Thatâs unfortunately not possible.No thank you, Iâm fine.Unfortunately not.Website: https://luxembourgishwithanne.lu

Do you know what a pronoun is? đ€
Pronouns are those small but mighty words that replace nouns, referring to a person, thing, or even an animal. In this episode, weâre diving deep into the pronouns you need to master in Luxembourgish when talking about objects and animals: en, se, and et! đŹ
In English, you'd simply say it, but in Luxembourgish, the choice of pronoun depends on the gender of the noun!
Letâs break it down together and make sure you know exactly when to use en, se, or et!
The Pronoun referring to feminine things â seLetâs imagine that you have a conversation with a colleague and he / she asks you:
Um wĂ©i vill Auer ass dâReunioun? â At what time is the meeting?Now you can answer by repeating the word dâReunioun:
DâReunioun ass um zwou Auer. â The meeting is at 2pm.But in natural spoken Luxembourgish you wonât repeat dâReunioun, instead you would replace it by using the pronoun se for feminine things â
Se ass um zwou Auer.Anert Beispill â other example
DâKaz ass schĂ©in. Se ass schĂ©in. â The cat is beautiful. It / she is beautiful.
The Pronoun referring to masculine things â enLetâs imagine that you intend to buy the mobile phone of a friend and you ask him / her:
WĂ©i vill verkeefs du den Handy? â How much do you sell the mobile phone?Now he / she may answer by repeating the word den Handy:
Ech verkafen den Handy fir 250âŹ. â I sell the mobile phone for 250âŹ.But in natural spoken language you wonât repeat den Handy instead you would replace it by using the pronoun en for masculine things â
Ech verkafen e* fir 250âŹ. â I sell it for 250âŹ.*Donât forget the n-rule!
Anert Beispill â other example
De Schockela ass gutt. En ass gutt. â The chocolate is good. It is good.
The Pronoun referring to neuter things â etLetâs imagine that you have a conversation with a friend about his new flat:
Wou ass dâ Appartment dann an der Stad? â Where is the flat located in Luxembourg city?Now he / she may answer by repeating the word dâAppartement:
MĂ€in Appartment ass zu Bouneweg. â My flat is in Bonnevoie.But normally you wonât repeat dâ Appartment instead you would replace it by using the pronoun et for neuter things â
Et ass zu Bouneweg. â It is in Bonnevoie.Remark:
Et ass is reduced to ât ass in spoken Luxembourgish: â
ât ass zu Bouneweg.
Anert Beispill â other example
DâHaus ass zimlech nei. ât ass zimlech nei. â The house is quite new. Itâs quite new.
Watch this lesson on Youtube!
Pronoun referring to plural things â seLetâs imagine that you ask a waiter for the toilets in a restaurant:
Wou sinn dâToiletten wann ech gelift? â Where are the toilets, please?Now you may answer by repeating the word dâToiletten:
DâToilette sinn um 1. Stack. â The toilets are on the 1. floor.But you can replace dâToiletten by using the pronoun se for plural things â
Se sinn um 1. Stack. â They are on the 1. floor.Anert Beispill â other example
Dâ Kleeder sinn al. Se sinn al. â The clothes are old. They are old.
Ăbung (exercise)

In episode 19 you learned how to start a conversation in Luxembourgish.
In this episode, you will learn a) the secret to becoming more fluent and improving your Luxembourgish; b) how to keep a conversation going, without running out of things to say!
Letâs start with the secret to becoming more fluent and improving your Luxembourgish: this is so simple: you might be surprised: ASK MORE QUESTIONS
And we will at the end of the episode practice with two example conversations â an informal one using the du-form and a formal one using the Dir-form.
Are you ready to learn this secret and master an everyday conversation?
Bass du prett? Da lass!
Most of the topics of small talk conversations include an observation followed by a question. This is the best way to get people talking about themselves.
Talking about your next holidays
The holidays are always an interesting topic. Usually people like talking about their next holidays. Here are some useful phrases to start a conversation about that topic. An easy and straightforward question:
Wouhi gees du dĂ«st Joer an dâVakanz? â Where are you (informal) going on holidays this year?But if you want something more original, try this:
Endlech! DĂ©i nĂ€chst Woch ass Schoulvakanz. Hutt dir schonn eppes vir? Finally! Next week is school holidays. Do you (plural) have already something planned?Ech fueren, wĂ©i Ă«mmer, am Februar an de Wantersport. An du? Gees du och am Wanter an dâVakanz? â I go, as always, in February in the winter sports. What about you (informal)? Do you go as well on holidays in winter?Hereâs an example of how NOT to have an Luxembourgish conversation:
War dĂ€i Weekend flott? â Did you have a nice weekend?Jo. An dĂ€in? â Yes. And how was yours?Majo, och flott. â Well, nice as well.Unfortunately, the conversation stops here because thereâs no natural way to continue it. This is OK if you only want to have a quick conversation (for example, if you are quickly passing a co-worker in the hallway). But how can you have a longer conversation in Luxembourgish?
2 KEYS to continuing a conversation in Luxembourgish
1 Ask questions that start with the question words Wat, WĂ©ini, Wou, Firwat and WĂ©i. Try to avoid yes/no questions.
2 In your answers, give one or two details that will help continue the conversation. You donât need to talk for a long time.
Example of Luxembourgish Conversations
Here are two example conversations â an informal one using the du-form and a formal one using the Dir-form.
Notice how each person adds one or two details, and then there is a follow-up question about the details.
Moien! An, wéi war dÀi Weekend?
Zimmlech flott! E Samschdeg ware mir bei Frënn agelueden an e Sonndeg war ech mat menge Kanner an de Kino.
Flott. Wat sidd dir da kucke gaang?
Den EMOJI!
An? WĂ©i war en?
De Kanner huet de Film natierlech gutt gefall. An du? Wat hues du de Weekend gemaach?
Net esou vill. E Samschdeg sinn ech doheem bliwwen a sonndes moies ginn ech jo Ă«mmer lafen.
Ah sou? WĂ©i laang leefs du dann?
Normalerweis tëscht 45 Minutten an eng Stonn.
Leefs du eleng?
Jo, leider. Hues de Loscht eng KĂ©ier matzekommen?â
Oh nee, dat ass net menges. Ech gi just gÀr schwammen.
A wouhi gees du da schwammen?
âŠ
Hello! And, how was your weekend?
Quite nice! On Saturday we were invited at some friends and on Sunday I went with my kids to the cinema.
Nice. Which movie have you been watching?
EMOJI
And? How was it?
Of course, the children liked the movie. And how about you? What have you done last Weekend?
Not sou much. I stayed at home on Saturday and on Sunday mornings I always go running.
Oh, really? How long do you run?
Usually between 45 minutes and one hour.
Do you run alone?
Yes unfortunately. Would like to come with me once?
Oh no, that is not my cup of tea. I just like to go swimming.
And where do you go swimming?

In the last episode, we covered the 3 key rules for word order in Luxembourgish independent clauses. Now, we dive into dependent or subordinate clauses. But what does that mean? đ€
Subordinate clauses are those parts of a sentence that canât stand alone and need another part to complete their meaning. These clauses bring a new set of word order rules in Luxembourgish, and hereâs an important tip: đ The conjugated verb is always placed at the end of a subordinate clause.
Curious to learn more? Tune in to master these more advanced sentence structures!
Bass du prett?A Subordinate Clause is introduced bya subordinating conjunction: datt, ob, well, wann, etc
or in the case of relative clauses by a relative pronoun deen, déi, dat.
Here are some examples of subordinate clauses in Luxembourgish and English. Notice that each Luxembourgish subordinate clause (in bold type) is set off by a comma.
Examples:
a) Ech weess net, ob hien haut kĂ«nnt. I donât know if / whether he comes today.
b) Ech ginn haut net an dâSchwĂ€mm, well ech krank sinn. I donât go to the swimming pool today because I am sick.
c) Dat ass de Mann, dee mir gĂ«schter gesinn hunn. Thatâs the man (that/whom) we saw yesterday.
d) Wann dâWieder schĂ©in ass, ginn ech lafen. â If the weather is good, Iâll go running.
As you can see above, a Luxembourgish subordinate clause always starts with a subordinating conjunction and ends with the conjugated verb.
The ONE thing you must remember is that when a sentence starts with a subordinate clause, as in example d), the very first word after the comma (before the main clause) MUST be the verb: Wann dâWieder schĂ©in ass, ginn ech lafen.
Subordinating & other ConjunctionsOne important aspect of learning to deal with subordinate clauses is to be familiar with the subordinating conjunctions that introduce them.
All of the subordinating conjunctions require the conjugated verb to go at the end of the clause they introduce.
Learning Tip:
Another technique for learning conjunctions is to learn the ones that are NOT subordinating, called coordinating conjunctions, since there are fewer of those. The coordinating conjunctions with normal word order are:
awer / mee (but), oder (or), entweder/oder (either/or) an (and).
Examples:
Meng Eltere waren och am Kino, awer ech hu si net gesinn. â My parents were also at the movies, but I didnât see them.
Du kanns mir dâSuen direkt ginn, oder du bezils dono. â You can give me the money straight away or you can pay later.
Entweder du waarts hei op eis, oder du gees mat. â Either you wait for us here, or you come with us.
Remark: After an, the subject (if it remains the same) can often be omitted because it is understood, so the verb often follows it immediately:
Ech iesse moies eng Schmier an drĂ©nken dobĂ€i TĂ©i. â I eat a slice of bread in the morning and to that I drink tea.
The word wéi is also used in comparisons (méi grouss wéi, bigger than), in which case it is not a subordinating conjunction. As always, you have to look at the context in which a word appears in a sentence.
Learn the most important Coordinating & Subordinate Conjunctions and practice with many exercises with my

There are cases in which Luxembourgish and English word order are identical,however the word order in Luxembourgish is more variable and flexible than in English. In particular, sentences need not begin with the subject. BUT there are strict rules determining the position of the VERB and there are a few other rules to bear in mind.
1. The Verb is Always the Second ElementNo matter which element begins a Luxembourgish declarative sentence (a statement), the verb is always the second element. If you remember nothing else about Luxembourgish word order, remember this. The subject for instance ech, den Hond, Meng Kanner, dâHaus will either come first or immediately after the verb if the subject is not the first element. This is a simple and fast rule. In a statement (not a question) the verb always comes second.
This rule applies to sentences and phrases that are independent clauses.
A ânormalâ word order places the subject first, the verb second, and any other elements third.
Examples:
Ech lĂ©ieren haut LĂ«tzebuergesch. â I learn Luxembourgish today.
Haut lĂ©ieren ech LĂ«tzebuergesch. â Today I learn Luxembourgish. (Lit: Today learn I Luxembourgish)
Remark:
âin second positionâ or âsecond place,â means the second element, NOT necessarily the second word.
Only one element can precede the verb, but it may consist of more than one word, for example Haut den Owend.
In such cases, the verb remains second and the subject must immediately follow the verb:
âHaut den Owend lĂ©ieren ech LĂ«tzebuergesch. âThis evening I learn Luxembourgish.
âUm wĂ©i vill Auer bass du muer doheem. âAt what time are you at home tomorrow
2. Time, Manner and Place: Wéini, Wéi, WouAnother area where Luxembourgish syntax may vary from that of English is the position of expressions of time wéini?, manner wéi? and place wou?
In English we would say, Tom is coming home by train today. English word order in such cases is place, manner, time⊠the exact opposite of Luxembourgish. We say: time, manner, place.
Examples:
Den Tom kĂ«nnt haut mam Zuch heem. â haut (time), mam Zuch (manner), heem (place).
Ech ginn all Dag mam Auto op dâAarbecht. â all Dag (time), mam Auto (manner), dâAarbecht (place). â I go to work by car everyday.
3. Sentence BracketWhen you have a separable verb (with a prefix), a modal verb or when a verb is used in combination with a second verb then the conjugated verb still stays in POSITION 2. This creates a sentence bracket that contains all of the other information.
Examples:
Meng Mamm fiert normalerweis um 6 Auer heem. â My mom usually goes home at 6pm.
Here we have a separable verb heemfueren. â fueren is the stem and heem is the a prefix.
For such verbs, the prefix is separated from the stem and placed at the end of the sentence in the present tense (as long as the clause is not subordinate or relative).
Meng Mamm wĂ«ll haut um 6 Auer heemfueren. â My mom wants to go home at 6pm today.
Here we have the modal verb wëllen (the conjugated verb) and the 2. verb comes at the very end of the sentence. In this case a separable verb is no longer separated.
Meng Mamm ass haut um 6 Auer heemgefuer. My mom came home at 6pm today.
I know that the sentence order is quite challenging. Thatâs why And as there is much to say about the word order in Luxembourgish sentences I decided to create an online course â 10 day course: Understand the Basics of Luxembourgish Sentence Structure - this is included for FREE in the online course A1F
Summary :1 Simple, declarative sentences are identical in Luxembourgish and English: Subject, verb, other. Ech léiere Lëtzebuergesch
2 The verb is always the second element in a Luxembourgish sentence. Am Summer ginn ech gĂ€r an dâSchwĂ€mm..
3 Luxembourgish sentences are usually âTime, Manner, Place.â Ech fueren um 8 Auer moies mam Auto op dâAarbecht
4 With separable, modal verbs and tenses, the second verb goes last, but the conjugated verb is still second.
Ech fueren Ă«mmer um 6 Auer owes heem

Do you find it challenging to understand native Luxembourgish speakers? đ€ You're not alone! Many Luxembourgish learners struggle with listening to natural, spoken Luxembourgish. While slow audios are helpful at the beginning, they may not be enough as you progress.

In this podcast, I dive into why listening to Luxembourgish can be so difficult and how to overcome these challenges. Letâs tackle this together! đ§đȘ
