hello ,I have read your queston and if you go down you will see that I have asked the same question about the dative and accustaive verbs just 2 weeks before you, I have met a friend who learns German in Germany and he showed me a list of dative verbs and accusative verbs , he said that the Teacher has given it to teh students ,which means that we unfortunately have to memorize them. . But as much as I know the acuusative verbs used with direvt objects and the dative with the inderct

[AbelleveMe]

@kidlyl oh well i asked my german friend about that and hes said that its supposed to be memorized. He also said that basically we use dative for verbs done mentally and accustative for verbs done physically if that makes sense. Like trust is a mental verb like believe and fetch is a physical verb like catch. I hope you understand what i mean

[kidlyl]

@AbelleveMe my question was why vertrauen is followed by a dative noun, cause i thought all verbs should be followed by accusatives. so is there a rule by which the verbs followed by datives differentiate from the ones followed by accusatives? or do you have to remember them like the genders of the nouns?

[AbelleveMe]

@kidlyl nvm i got what i asked you lol

[AbelleveMe]

@kidlyl i dont really understand your question but i think it is bc vertrauen is one of the verbs that are supposed to be followed by a dative noun, its written in 4:51 . anyway don't you think it is supposed to be 'Die Pferde vertrauen den Reiter' instead? bc they wrote that the plural of 'der Reiter' is 'den Reiter' in the dative form.

[kidlyl]

Die Pferde vertrauen den Reitern. why is Reiter in the dative?

[YohannesF16]

Now i have a question, How can I distinguish between the verbs with dative objects from the verbs with accusative objects? Should I memorise them or there is a rule which could make things easier?

[midarkmind]

This is not easy to understand. This video is saying that the articles are determined by the cases? WTF?

[nuvaboy]

@shelet4c Thats easy to answer! the VERY basic word order is the same as in English: subject-predicate-object(s) the parts of the sentence can be moved in order, but the predicate has to be #2! e.g. I give him the ball Ich (<nom., subject) gebe ihm (<dat., ind. obj.) den Ball (<acc., direct obj.). BUT ALSO: Ihm gebe ich den Ball. Den Ball gebe ich ihm. In English, #2 and #3 are non-sense, but because of the cases, we know which part of the sentence is meant there's a wikipedia article about that
