Mehr dativ

Mehr dativ - Hab bitte deine Notizen und Vokabeln bereit

by Leah Smith

​We learned that

the nominative does the action

the accusative is what the nominative does/verbs

the dative is the 'to whom or 'for whom."

​

​Der Kellner hat dem Kunde eine Serviette gebacht. -The waiter brought a napkin to the customer.

Warum hast du deiner Schwester eine Kerze geschenkt?​ - Why did you gift your sister a candle?

​

Zuerst muss ich den Kindern ihr Besteck geben. -First i have to give the children their silverware.

​

​it is important to get the dative right, because you don't want to give your sister to the candles, or give the children to the silverware.

​For example. Ich rufe dich später an. (I will call you later.) who are you calling? me. Not to me or for me. It is accusative.

​

​When du is accusative, it becomes dich.

​Accusative prepositions are : DOGFU (durch, ohne, gegen für, um)

​Example: für meinen Bruder, ohne dich, um ihn)

​

​We also have dative prepositions. These turn the word/words after them into dative automatically.

​Dative prepositions are

​Aus, außer, bei, mit, nach, seit, von, zu, gegenüber

​

​Example: except for the meat/außer dem Fleisch, with you -mit dir, across from the school, gegenüber der Schule

​check online notes and add these in the appropriate spot. The song you heard to to help you remember the dative preps.
