✦Grammar Breakdown
Schnitzelgibt'sauchziemlichoft
es gibt / gibt es
The impersonal construction "es gibt" means "there is/are". In spoken German it often contracts to "gibt's".
Object case
In "es gibt", the thing that exists (Schnitzel) is in the accusative case, even though it looks like the nominative.
Adverb order
When several adverbs appear, "auch" (also) comes first, followed by a degree adverb like "ziemlich" (quite) and then the frequency adverb "oft".
Contraction with apostrophe
The apostrophe replaces the omitted "e" in "es"; write it as "gibt's", not "gibts".
Ziemlich vs. Sehr
"Ziemlich" means "quite" or "rather" and is less strong than "sehr" (very).

"Sehr" changes the intensity; use "ziemlich" for "quite".
Schnitzel ist auch ziemlich oft.
"Schnitzel" is the object of "es gibt", not the subject; the correct construction is "es gibt Schnitzel".

Cultural Tip
Schnitzel – a breaded, pan‑fried cutlet – is a staple of German and Austrian cuisine, often served with potatoes, salad, or lingonberry jam. In many regions it’s considered a comfort food, so mentioning its frequency can signal familiarity with local eating habits. Keep the tone informal; "gibt's" is typical in spoken German but would be replaced by "gibt es" in formal writing.
