How do you say this in German?
I live in Berlin.
German
Ich wohne in Berlin.
I live in Berlin.
Grammar
WOHNEN + IN
When talking about where someone lives, German commonly uses wohnen + in.
wohnen = to live / to reside
in = in
With most city names, in is followed directly by the city name without an article.
More examples
Ich wohne in München.
I live in Munich.
Sie wohnt in Hamburg.
She lives in Hamburg.
Attention
WOHNEN VS. LEBEN
wohnen focuses on where someone resides or has their home.
Ich wohne in Berlin.
I live / reside in Berlin.
leben is broader and can mean to live, to be alive, or to live one's life somewhere.
Ich lebe in Berlin.
I live in Berlin.
Both can be used with a city, but wohnen is more specifically about your place of residence, while leben describes living in a place more generally.
The o in wohne is long — the silent h just stretches it. Stress falls on WOH-ne.
EnglishI live in Berlin.
Berlin is common in beginner examples, but in real conversation you can swap in any city or neighborhood: Ich wohne in …

How do you say this in German?
I don't have any coffee left.
German
Ich habe keinen Kaffee mehr.

Pronunciation
EVERYDAY GERMAN
In casual spoken German, Ich habe is often shortened to Ich hab’.
keinen can also sound like kein’ in fast, natural speech.
In everyday conversation, you may hear:
Ich hab’ kein’ Kaffee mehr.
I don’t have any coffee left.
Grammar
KEINEN
In Ich habe keinen Kaffee mehr, Kaffee is masculine: der Kaffee.
After haben, the noun is in the accusative. For a masculine noun, kein changes to keinen.

He doesn’t have a brother.
Quick rule
Masculine + accusative → keinen
At work, a neutral version is still Ich habe keinen Kaffee mehr. In a shared office you may also hear Der Kaffee ist alle.
