Get with it! ![]() BTW: Fern means 'television'. Fernsehen means 'to watch television'. 'Ich sehe fern.': 'I watch TV.' |

Beejay is right. If you think about it the word Television is the same, Tele is Greek for far (i.e. Telescope) (and Fern means distant) and vision is to see/ sehen.
Sorry about all the brackets. |

'Ich sehe fern.' is still correct though. I've always been told to say it that way. Must be a language difference.

Ich fernsehe can only be used in a relative osr subordinate clause. This is because the verb fernsehen is a separable verb. |
