I was looking at the translation for the recent German song "Je ne parle pas francais" and one of the constructions seemed to go against what I had learned:
Und male zwei Tassen Kaffee | And you paint two cups of coffee
Mit 'nem Stift auf deine Hand | With the pen in your hand
The verb malen
here is conjugated to male
which, as I have learned, is used with the ich
form.. That is Ich male.
However, the translation suggests that is in the du
form, as it says "you paint two cups of coffee"
Am I missing something here?
