@Ahsen1000 Hello, Thank you for your question.

We use the dative after the preposition „mit“, and we use the accusative for the object of the verb “nehmen”.

This is all explained in lesson 7, where you will also find examples of “fahren mit" with dative, and “nehmen" with accusative for all genders.

Best wishes.

It has to be "in" meiner Tür, maybe the pronounciation is a little wishie-washie so you think you heard "im".

"im" means "in dem",

(so the thing you are "in" has to be male or neuter)

for example:

"Du bist im Haus" means "Du bist in dem Haus"

Usually you say "im" unless you want to lay emphasis on what thing you are in exactly:

for example:

I´m in THAT house: "Ich bin in DEM Haus"

The difference between der Zug and die Bahn can be confusing but is really quite simple. Der Zug is literally the train, on wheels and has carts and such. Die Bahn is the train as in the rail and train station and such. Die Bahn is associated with inter- and intra-city rails that are used for public transportation. Der Bahnhof is a train station.

@DbMan1993 "den" is in english "the" ;)

@we1terch4os könntest du jetzt nur von dem deutsch lernen ? :o

[guidc]

ihr fahrt! how impolite...

[nosojdjos]

is FAHREN = FART ?? lol

[Karash770]

@DbMan1993 Because "Zug" has a masculine article (der Zug) and the accusative of "der" is "den".

[DbMan1993]

Hello, why it's "den" at 4:56?

[we1terch4os]

Ich kann endlich deutsch danke dieser serie!

At 2:16 - "Zu den Zügen", shouldn't it be "Zu die Züge". I used google translate and "zu" is a different type of "für" - accusative. I don't know, I'm just asking because I'm a newbie at german ;)

Thanks for everything, these lessons are awesome! And the comments help me a lot too :)

(I subbed you with 4 accs :DDD)
