Flirting

1. Sie sind sehr schön

   You are very beautiful

   Usage

   A polite compliment on someone's appearance

   Grammar Note

   "Sie" is the formal you. With close friends, use "du bist sehr schön"

2. Darf ich Ihnen einen Drink ausgeben?

   May I buy you a drink?

   Usage

   Offer to buy someone a drink at a bar or social gathering

   Grammar Note

   "Dürfen" expresses permission. "Ihnen" is the formal dative; use "dir" informally

3. Ich würde Sie gerne wiedersehen

   I would like to see you again

   Usage

   Express your wish to meet someone again

   Grammar Note

   "Würde + infinitive" expresses a polite wish. "Wiedersehen" is wieder (again) + sehen (see)

4. Möchten Sie mit mir tanzen?

   Would you like to dance with me?

   Usage

   Invite someone to dance at a party or evening event

   Grammar Note

   "Möchten" is the subjunctive of mögen. "Mit mir" uses the dative (mir) of ich

5. Sie haben ein wunderschönes Lächeln

   You have a wonderful smile

   Usage

   A refined compliment about someone's smile

   Grammar Note

   "Lächeln" is nominalized from the verb to smile. It's neuter, so "ein wunderschönes"

6. Ich vermisse Sie jetzt schon

   I already miss you

   Usage

   A romantic way to tell someone you miss them right after parting

   Grammar Note

   "Vermissen" means to miss someone. "Sie" is the accusative formal pronoun (you)

7. Darf ich Sie zum Abendessen einladen?

   May I invite you to dinner?

   Usage

   Politely invite someone on a dinner date

   "Einladen" is separable: ein + laden (to invite). Abendessen = Abend (evening) + Essen (meal)

8. Sie haben wunderschöne Augen

   You have wonderful eyes

   Usage

   Compliment someone's beautiful eyes in a romantic way

   Grammar Note

   "Augen" is the plural of Auge (eye). "Wunderschöne" agrees with the plural noun

9. Ich mag Ihre Art zu lachen

   I like the way you laugh

   Usage

   Compliment someone's charming laugh or personal manner

   Grammar Note

   "Art zu + infinitive" means the way of doing something. "Ihre" is the formal possessive
