You&#8217;ve already learned that the separable prefixes <em>ab<\/em> and <em>auf<\/em> have specific meanings, and perhaps based on your knowledge of German, you can figure out that <em>aus<\/em> mean out, so the separable prefix here is used as: to shake out. <em>Aus<\/em> is another prefix like <em>ab<\/em> and <em>auf<\/em> that adds more specific meaning to a verb when used as a separable prefix. In the context of cleaning, you can use <em>aus<\/em> as a prefix with <em>ausstauben<\/em> (to dust out\u2014a drawer for example), <em>ausfegen<\/em> or <em>auskehren<\/em> (to sweep out), or auswischen (to wipe out, usually with a damp cloth). And beyond the world of cleaning, <em>aus<\/em> is also used as a prefix in words like <em>aussteigen<\/em> (to de-board a train, as you learned in the <em>Reisen und Transport<\/em> module) and <em>ausgehen<\/em> (to go out).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>To summarize our review of separable prefix verbs, there are two things you should know about this class of verbs. First, separable prefix verbs separate from the main part of the verb; that is, the prefix moves to the end of the sentence, as in &#8220;Karin r\u00e4umt das Zimmer auf.&#8221; The verb is conjugated the way it would normally be conjugated and remains in the second position of the sentence, while the prefix sits at the end of the sentence or phrase. Second, different prefixes shift the meaning of the verb\u2014often to make it more specific or sometimes to create a totally new meaning.<\/p>\n<div style=\"max-width: 800px;\"><div class=\"h5p-iframe-wrapper\"><iframe id=\"h5p-iframe-77\" class=\"h5p-iframe\" data-content-id=\"77\" style=\"height:1px\" src=\"about:blank\" frameBorder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"Separable Prefix Verbs: Review\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Review: Direct Objects (Accusative)<\/h3>\n<p><em>Hausarbeit<\/em> and household chores revolve around action: someone cleans something.

These are two or more words that are strung together to form a new word. You&#8217;ve seen many examples of compound words in the chapter, for example <em>Badezimmer<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Ferienhaus<\/em>, and <em>Hausarbeit<\/em>. These examples all have reasonable English equivalents, but in some cases, what German says with one word take several words in English: <em>der K\u00fcchenschank<\/em> = kitchen cabinets or <em>die Altbauwohnung<\/em> = apartment of older construction.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that the class of compound words is always the class of the last word. Thus:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">die K\u00fcche &gt;&gt; die Waschk\u00fcche<br \/>\ndas Zimmer &gt;&gt; das Wohnzimmer<br \/>\nder Tisch &gt;&gt; der Nachttisch<\/p>\n<p>You should be aware that these words exist and that you might have to dissect words in order to decipher the meaning. Also be aware that sometimes an extra letter or syllable is included between the words to make it easier to pronounce, like in <em>Arbeit<strong>s<\/strong>zimmer<\/em>. In general, this is a fun aspect of the German language, because it allows you to be creative and construct new words. Plus, it leads to words that are ridiculously long, like\u00a0<em>Bezirksschornsteinfegermeister<\/em> (head district chimney sweep), and you can impress your friends not only by pronouncing them, but by explaining how they fit together.<\/p>\n<p>Look back at the vocabulary list below.

In Austria and southern Germany, you&#8217;re more likely to hear <em>kehren<\/em>, while in northern Germany, <em>fegen<\/em> is the preferred term. This carries over into nominalized forms: in Berlin <em>Stra\u00dfenfeger<\/em> sweep the streets, but in Austria, this task is completed by <em>Stra\u00dfenkehrer<\/em>. Similarly, a\u00a0<em>Kaminkehrer<\/em>\u00a0or <em>Rauchfangkehrer<\/em> cleans the chimney in Austria or southern Germany, but in northern Germany the term for chimneysweep is\u00a0<em>Kaminfeger\u00a0<\/em>or <em>Schornsteinfeger<\/em>. And, just like in some other cultures, chimneysweeps are supposed to bring good luck, just like the statue below.
