thank you so much. It really helped, and the humour made it much less boring ! I need to learn this for my 8th grade german class, and I have a quiz on it so I need to know and this is a great video. Thank you !
@ElectronicLover80, MSUiMovie did not make a mistake at 3:23. He's saying how one can identify the indirect object in English. Of course, if he starts talking in German and says 'für', then he has to use the accusative case as it is a preposition governed by the accusative case.
Thank you so much for this. I am learning German through Rosetta Stone & books I purchased but I can't seem to grasp the accusative and dative cases. Having a brush up of elementary English helped and having it explained to me in a funny way definetly made it sink in!!
You seam to mix up grammatical categories here. We also have subjects and objects in German (Subjekt/Objekte). That categorization helps to determine which role a word plays in a sentence. Nominativ/Akkusativ/Dativ are grammatical cases, resulting from the declination of a word. It is, however, true, that the subject is always in the Nominativ case etc.
I learned to speak German until I was 10 because meine Grossmutter sind von Deutschland and can do it pretty much automatically but writing in German is different because I often think in English and it makes no sense sometimes... These videos are great, I take classes in college so I can be 'fluent' and all I need to do is be able to write properly.
I'm not sure whether that's right, because we agree that in akkusativ, the masculine is the only one that changes, so that would mean that the following would change:
Der
Kein
Ein
into:
Den
Keinen
Einen
right? (Kuss is Masculine, so it would be einen Kuss)
Vielen dank! This video helped me a lot!

Fem.: der (noun)- (example: the hair of the woman - das Haar DER Frau)

Pl.: der (noun)- (example: the roof of the houses - Das Dach DER Häuser)

This video is allright rather for learning what is subject, direct object and indirect object (iin general).
But not for apply this to German language or grammar.
beebledoggie 1 year ago
No, no, no!! No es así. El sujeto es el sujeto, el complemento directo es el complemento indirecto, etc.
PERO TOMAN FORMAS DIFERENTES, acorde a su función.
El sujeto no es Nominativ.
Subjekt ist Subjekt. Nomitativ ist die Form von: Subjekt und Attribut.
Example:
Sie ist meine Tochter.
"Sie" = Subjekt
"meine Tochter" = Attribut
Beide sind im NOMINATIV.
In German there are the functions and the forms (Nominativ, Akkusativ, Dativ, Genitiv). But the forms are not the functions.
beebledoggie 1 year ago
@beebledoggie
The form (Nom, Akk, Dat, Gen) is how do you write it.
The funciont is: what's it.
you know which function have the group of words cause the declination of these words (the form).
Direct Object is not the 'Akkusativ': it is wrote in accusative (normaly, not always).
Direct object is direct object, they are different things.

which would be the right way?
a) Ich gebe dem Mädchen einen Kuss
b) Ich gebe dem Mädchen ein Kuss
Cheers!
cdwheel 2 years ago
Ich gebe dem Mädchen ein kuss
because ICH is nominativ, Mädchen Dativ and ein Kuss akkusativ and in akkusativ the only one who chages is the der : den.
with personalpronomen it would be:
Ich gebe es ihm... right?

Yes. What's neutral would be "Küsschen".

cdwheel, you are right.
The correct one would be:
'Ich gebe dem Mädchen einen Kuss.'

@cdwheel a) Ich gebe dem Mädchen einen Kuss.
Kuss ist Maskulin, deshalb:
ein Kuss --> einen Kuss. [Akk.]
