Good bye!
I wanted to ask you a question that has completely destroyed my head:
How do you actually formulate questions correctly using genitive prepositions:
For example: During or based on
Do we say: "While whose" and "by whose means"?
Sounds a little strange, doesn't it?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards

Loading...For some time now I have been very dissatisfied with my ability to write texts or to interpret them in general, so I wanted to ask if anyone could give me tips on how I could practice or improve them?
Cool and silent she lies there Completely rigid And her appearance so pale The pallor is already Placed over the skin All their lives blown away by the wind Bedded in grass and flowers Did she bet her life on hope The pain and agony Now finally over When she began To be stranded in…
The selection of clothing is enormous. There are suits, shirts, trousers, socks, underwear, sweaters, watches, shoes, ties, and bow ties.
For example, it is for 6 people and only 3 take part (DB, long-distance transport)
❗️If you ask for people, you can use the question form with “wessen”.
It would be much more normal to ask: “When were you in the kitchen under and over?”
That’s okay, but you could also ask: “How did you find the way to the hotel?”
❗️When no person in the game, is no question with “wessen” possible.
Good evening.
Yes, “while who eat” and “who eat” actually sound somewhat uninhabited, but are grammatically correct.
1. While we are
“While” governs the genitive, so “wessen” is the right question. Examples:
Whose absence did that happen?
Whose speech did you fall asleep?
However, in everyday language, one often uses “While whom his …?” (transverse language, but not standard language).
Two. On the basis of
“on hand” also demands the genitive, so “wessen” is correct. Examples:
Whose statement was the judgment?
Whose research has shown the theory?
Sounds pretty wooden. Instead, you could use “due to what statement …?” or “based on whose research …?”.
Conclusion: It’s right, but it sounds often cumbersome. In practicemost of the time.
That’s right. Thank you for the answer.
I think I formulated my question.
I meant it more about the cases where there is no subject.
Example.
What did you get it with?
Who did it reach?
Would that be right?
Ah, now I understand better what you want!
“On the basis of whom did you reach it?” sounds grammatically correct, but unnatural. The preposition “on the basis” actually always needs a noun or a pronoun as a reference word. So a more natural question would be:
“Whose statement/research/research/reference did you achieve it?”
Without a specific reference word, “on the basis of whom” sounds simply incomplete. Better would be a shaping like:
“What did you look at?”
“On what basis did you achieve it?”
So if you want to ask a question with “hand” then it needs a supplement. Otherwise it acts unnatural or ucomplete.
Correctly ask you “wann?” or “woran?”. The combination Preposition+Fragewort always sounds a bit unhappy and is best suited to specifically question a not understood word. I notice that here – especially in the case of the Dativ and Genitiv – the question word is very welcome:
In your examples, I would like to say: what?, please?” and “handed” what?, please?” ask – but really only if I have not understood the corresponding word.
You’re right, in such a situation you probably don’t get frequent, especially in general use.
For the second example, I could at most imagine that someone gave you a help, for example, or provided you with any help you could then solve a certain task. So for the questioner it is known that WELCHE’s help was made, it only interested him, WER helped you and he then connects this with the help in the question, which might possibly result in such a question:
“Whose information could you answer the question? ‘
I hope this is so correct and understandable and perhaps a bit helpful. 😅
I don’t have a sentence in which “while we eat” or “who eats” occurs! Please give examples to everyone!
for example Whose was that achieved?
