| Oct 29, 2023 at 11:41 | comment | added | bakunin | @colidyre: "lernen" may be (and in fact is) a Verb, but "das Lernen" (notice the article and the capitalization) is a Nomen. It is the same difference as "to learn" and "the learning" in English - a noun made from a verb is still a noun. | |
| Oct 29, 2023 at 8:13 | comment | added | colidyre | The already existng answers here and here (since the time of writing this comment) assumes that "Lernen" is already recognized as a noun. But maybe this is the problem here? "lernen" is a verb, but together with "zum" it is a noun (there was a nominalisation). The capitalization is also an indicator for this. The sentence "To have a desire to learn" becomes "Eine Lust zum Lernen haben". In both translations, "to have" or "haben" are the main verbs of the dependent clause (in German at the end). | |
