The usage of “doch” Part 4
posted 1 month ago
You can also add “doch” to emphasize the urgency of a wish!
Example: Wenn ich doch Millionär wäre! -> If only I was a millionaire!
…. As you can see, doch has many faces! It’s a frequent word and it’s probably one of the most difficult ones, too. You may find it hard to use it right at first but with a growing understanding and feeling for German, you’ll get better at it - I promise!
Last but not least, “doch” is used a lot to contradict a negative reply. You don’t have to add anything else, just a short “doch” is enough ;)
Schmeckt es dir nicht? - Doch! -> Don’t you like the food? - Yes, I do.
Hast du das nicht verstanden? - Doch! -> Didn’t you understand it? -> Yes, I did.
