| | | Re: German grammar question "oben gegangen"
| Quote: | |  | | | ich gehe nach oben-i am going up
ich gehe hinauf-i am gowing up indicating the direction,with stress
ich bin oben-i am upstaris
ich bin nach oben gegangen-i went upstairs
ich war oben-i was upstairs
ich ging nach oben- i was upstairs
or ich ging hinauf- i was upstairs stressing the direction again.
movement needs a sein form e.g bin
1st person ich bin
du bist
wir sind
gehen is movement so you can not use a haben form
so saying ich habe nach oben gegangen will be wrong. | | | | | I do not see any "Treppe"-Stairs " in the german version  |

But actually, upstairs = nach oben. You would say "upstairs" even if you take the elevator/lift, wouldn't you? Same in German.

like faltrad said.
nach oben =upstairs is used almost in the same respect.

Hmm, in Swiss German you can may say, ich bi ufe gange, that whould be if you translate it in German: Ich bin oben gegangen. But in German such a sentence sounds wrong.

Depending on the direction, as seen from the person who uses it, it could also be "herauf" in Standard German.
