stargirl775 by koenntest do you mean can? because it's spelled kannst. In this case you could either say 'kannst' or 'koenntest'. 'Kannst' is more like 'can' and 'koenntest' like 'could' in English. Don't know what this form is called at the moment, sorry.

Hi, all. I'm a newcomer to this guild, but German happens to be one of the two languages I'm currently obsessing over, so I can see myself spending some time in this thread.

koenntest--- I don't understand. What would that be conjugated to? Or is that a completely different word then konnen or the conjugation or konnen?

(Not sure if this makes sense in English. I think I understand the meaning, but haven't really heard that phrase in German a lot. Is it right, that it basically means, that you don't necessarily need to act the way how others in your age do?)
