✕Common Mistakes
Wie finde du dieses Outfit?
Verb must agree with ‘du’; use ‘findest’ not ‘finde’.
Wie findest du dieser Outfit?

Cultural Tip
While ‘finden’ is perfectly correct, Germans more often use ‘gefallen’ when talking about clothing: ‘Wie gefällt dir das Outfit?’ is slightly more idiomatic. Also remember to match the demonstrative ‘dieses’ with the neuter noun ‘Outfit’; using ‘dieser’ would be a grammatical error. In formal settings you’d replace ‘du’ with ‘Sie’: ‘Wie finden Sie dieses Outfit?’
