In German there are many cases that change the articles, in this video we focus on three such cases and their affects on the definate articles, that would be "the" if you are not sure what a definate article is. Nominative (normal) Der, Die, Das. Accusative Den, Die, Das. then the indirect object case, Dem, Der, Dem. Outside the munster in Konstanz, Germany

  • @tiffanywelling I am glad i can help. I have another video that may help even more. It is just an explanation of the different cases and their articles (it is a longer video, but explains a lot) its filmed in Bamberg. I hope you will be able to find it on my site. and thank you so much for watching and commenting and i am very glad i could help. mark

  • To, or For is Dativ.

  • @dumbasarock10

    well if it is to (nach) as in I am going to Berlin it is dative... Ich fahre nach Berlin.

    if it is fuer (for) it is always accusative. (remember durch fuer gegen ohne um are all accusative all the time) It is for my friend. Es ist fuer meinen freund.

    if it is to someone then it can be just an indirect object in the dative. I give you my beer. Ich gebe DIR mein Bier. (the dir means to you).

    or you can use "zu" and that will be dative as well.

    I am not sure if this helps

  • this is soooooooo helpful! Danke!!!

  • It's "definite articles".

  • @Kiarnis glad i could help. the articles and cases are always the hardest for me.

  • OH goodness this is such a perfect explanation! Just what I needed. First thing that doesn't put things in terms that only a grammar scientist would only understand. =D Great job!
