cheers100 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 Hello, Er hat heute Geburtstag. - Is that native speakers would say? I feel unconfortable to put "heute" in the middle of the sentence. Do you think I can move it to the end of the sentence- Er hat Geburtstag heute? Thank you very much! PS. I am not sure it is about grammar. Sorry if I post in the wrong forum. Quote
linguaholic Posted December 16, 2015 Report Posted December 16, 2015 The sentence is completely ok like this. In fact ' Er hat Geburstag heute' would be grammatically correct as well, however the focus would be more on Geburtstag than 'heute' . So in the first sentence the focus is moren on the day and in the second one more on the event. Quote

Jay Posted June 10, 2016 Report Posted June 10, 2016 "Er hat heute Geburtstag." is more frequent use :). Quote
