Welcome to our interactive exercises on German opposites.
Whether you're just starting out with German or looking to solidify your understanding of basic vocabulary, our exercises will help you to make some progress.
These exercises here are a bit different from our other German exercises, because the hints that you can see behind the blanks are the opposites of what should go into the blank. Try it out.
Exercise 1: German Opposites
A first round of weather, food, and feelings adjectives. Remember the twist — the hint shows the opposite of what you should type.
Exercise 2: German Opposites
A second batch with size, speed, and texture pairs — breit/schmal, schnell/langsam, dünn/dick, trocken/nass.
Exercise 3: German Opposites
This batch leans into more abstract adjectives — modern/traditionell, glatt/rau, schwach/stark, laut/leise.
Exercise 4: German Opposites
A final round to consolidate everything — body, weather, taste, distance. By now your instinct for the opposite should be quicker than reaching for a dictionary.
