i have a question:

wir telefoniert mit dem kundeN ?

der Kunde is singular in dativ is dem Kunde

and in plural in dative is deN kundeN. so i don't get why is dem kundeN ? please help me!

[DeutschOnlineLernen]

Thank you very much for your question.

The dative singular of "der Kunde" is "dem Kunden". "Kunde" belongs to the n-declension, which is a singular declension, and the -n here is not a plural, but a singular ending.

The plural form, "Kunden", which you can find in the vocabulary, happens to have the same ending, and the dative plural form, as you correctly noted, is also "Kunden". The plural declension will be dealt with separately in lesson 17. I hope this helps.

Best wishes.

Hello,

The cases used in a sentence often

depend on the verb, as your question suggests, so you can find this kind of information in any good dictionary. Many grammar books offer at least some lists of verbs grouped according to their valency, that is to show what sort of complements are possible or necessary with each verb. Best wishes.

@WangsterBling As you said, the Genetive is used to signal that something belongs to someone("Heidis Auto"). The accusative however signals the Target Object of an action("Heidi wäscht ihr Auto.").

[cleopatra193]

Thank you so much

[WangsterBling]

i have a question. up until now, i didnt really have to use the accusative much, and i just realized in this video that i don't know when to use accusative or not. i looked back at the previous videos and it says accusative is used for nehmen and fahren i believe (i forget, something like that). so, when exactly, do you use accusative, for example genitive is used for "someone or something that belongs"

what is the rule on puting terminations on this 3 nouns?

[igormeuchen]

I am going to get some sleep and tell me if you like it so far. thank you God bless you. I am going to pray and go to bed now.

there are some german words which are not easy to pronounce. for example die geschichte. Here is my pronunciation ( the letter G in English and the word Chiche in french and the letter  teu.) but here is my prononciation gaie( du french Gaie, Chiche du french Chiche and Teu which I invented. and I can say gaie- chiche - teu.
