Common Mistakes

  • Ja, die Versicherung versichert deine Sachen.

    “Versichert” is the past participle of “versichern” (to insure). Using it here changes the meaning to “is insured” rather than “protects”.

  • Ja, die Versicherung schützt Ihre Sachen.

    If you are speaking informally, use “deine”. “Ihre” is the formal possessive and sounds too stiff in a casual chat.

  • Ja, die Versicherung schütze deine Sachen.

    The verb must be conjugated to match the third‑person singular subject: “schützt”, not “schütze”.

Alternatives

  • Ja, deine Sachen sind durch die Versicherung abgesichert.

    Yes, your stuff is covered by the insurance.

  • Ja, die Police schützt deine Gegenstände.

    Yes, the policy protects your items.

  • Ja, das ist durch deine Versicherung gedeckt.

    Yes, that is covered by your insurance.

Cultural Tip

In German‑speaking countries insurance (Versicherung) is a common topic in everyday conversation, especially regarding household, car, and health coverage. When speaking formally (e.g., with a broker), you would use the polite “Sie” form: “Ja, die Versicherung schützt Ihre Sachen.” The informal “deine” is appropriate with friends or family. Also note that Germans often differentiate between “schützen” (to protect) and “versichern” (to insure); both are correct, but “versichern” emphasizes the contractual aspect, while “schützen” highlights the protective outcome.
