Genitive case, that is my apple?
Why is it: this is my apple?
The question would be: whose apple is this?
That's my apple, right?
Why is it: this is my apple?

The government motivates people to achieve their goals. How does this sentence sound to you? Instead of 'The government mobilizes the people for its goals'
Hey, I would like to know whether the words "liberal" and "totalitarian" should be capitalized in the following sentence: At the present moment in world history, Truman stated, every nation must choose between alternative ways of life: the liberal of the democratic West and the totalitarian of the communist East.
"To become addicted, there must be a certain will to let go." Can someone tell me what that means or what is meant by it and also give their own opinion, I'm also very interested in that?
The question is correct. Not all questions with the genitive question word “wessen” give answer with a genitive. This is a bit confusing in German.
Above all, consider one:
Ownership (“Possessiv”) can be expressed by both Kasus (Genitiv), by prepositions (“from me”) and by pronouns (“my, your”).
The genitive is even more rare. You can answer a variety of questions:
This statement has nothing to do with a possible question, but stands for itself.
It’s a classic predicative set. “That” and “my apple” are both nominatives. Also compare sentences like “I’m a good pilot.” or “She’ll be a doctor.”
Thank you very much. 😊
The question is “who or what”, you ask here for the predictive, which determines the demonstrative pronoun and at the same time subject “Das” (deictically and adjectively). It’s in the nominative: my apple. If you ask the question “wessen” you ask for the Genitivattribute, the answer would be “My”.

Hello TeclaG
Whose? Genetic
Whose apple is that?

Also here is “my” Nominativ Singular, strongly declinated, reference to apple.
was rather intuitive.. hmm.. does not give an exception to any rule – terrible sometimes the German language – has for all the rules but no one holds
Can you give me another sentence with my nominative singing?
Upbrunce has a statement 🙂
“Sei” or “is” makes no difference. Both are precedent sets with the predictive in the nominative (congruent to the subject).
The strong declination in these sentences makes it even more confusing, but it doesn’t change anything in the simple predicative.
That’s mine.
That’s mine. (my apple)
That’s mine. (my child)
How about the answer “he is mine” for the apple?
A clear masculine that refers to the apple but not that of my
As an example. .
