Ich reise gerne mit dem Zug.

English Translation

I like traveling by train.

Every German native I ask, says that no one uses “gerne” anymore. It is only “gern”

Don’t trust people who use words like “always”, “never”, “everyone”, “no one”.

Just because something is true for them (and their friends) doesn’t make it true for every last one of the 83 million Germans.

“gerne” is perfectly valid.

Your reply doesn’t change what I said. It is valid as much as old German is still valid, it’s a good thing I made sure to mention that people don’t use it anymore not that it isn’t correct.

But fine, fine. Do you use it instead of gern? I think that’s the real question, and I want you to be honest now
