Learn German Accusative and Dative Prepositions from Hamelin

www.woltersworld.com The Pied Piper of Hamelin stole 130 kids in 1284 from this town... So be careful! and learn your dative/accusative prepositions. Each of these prepositions can be used with "dativ" or "akkusativ" cases. You use dative when the object is stationary, and then you use accusative for when you are putting the item somewhere. An - on (as in on the wall). Ich hange es an die Wand. Es haengt an der Wand. Auf - on top of, es liegt auf dem Tisch. Ich liege es auf den Tisch. In - in, Ich gehe in die Kneipe (I go into the bar). Ich bin in der Kneipe (I am in the bar). Hinter - behind. Neben - next to, ueber - over. Unter - under. Vor - in front of. Zwischen - between. Ich bin zwischen den 2 menschen (I am between the 2 people). Ich gehe zwischen die 2 Menschen (I'm going between the two people). Filmed by the main museum in Hamelin, Germany. Hameln in German.

nice video, and well explained but it's not "das Buch ist hinter DEM Couch", you have to say: "das Buch ist hinter DER Couch" because in german "Couch" is female:)

i'm very glad that this is my native language, it must be really hard and complicate to learn this!:D

omg danke danke!! This video helped me a lot! You explained it in such a simple manner. I know this is for the two-way prepositions, but I need help on how to recognize if a sentence is nominative, accusative,or dative. I know there are certain prepositions for accusative and dative but how can I tell if it's a direct/indirect object?

[woltersworld]

@homegirlpet The direct objects will be in the accusative case. Like "ich habe ES gegessen. I ate IT. If it comes in the dative form then it is an indirect objects. "Er hat es MIR gegeben. He gave it TO ME. Does that help at all? I am glad the video helped. I have another video on the cases on here. just put in "Learn German Cases" and it should be on the first page of searches. Good luck and i hope you will subscribe!
