What is the dative or accusative case?

"Hey guys, I've been learning German for two years. I still don't fully understand the dative and accusative cases. Many people say you just have to be able to do it and there are no rules. However, there is a rule that allows you to determine the case based on the question 'where' or 'where to'.

But how can you tell which case is being used in such sentences?👇

What are the real reasons? Are they forced to do this, or is it all down to laziness ?"

Hello maxmuste121123!

In most cases, it is noted that it is the direct or indirect object. But there are also verbs and prepositions that draw certain cases.

So there are rules, but also things to memorize.

Here you will find two videos that explain more:

verbs with prepositions

Here are 32 pages “Verben + Prepositions”. Your verb “It’s up to + Dativ” is, of course, on page 2. You better print the list.

https://deutschlernerblog.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/ Verben-mit-Preposition-Listen-Exercises-German-German-learnerblog.pdf

  1. Insert them into a ring book.
  2. Then take out page 1 and stick it in the toilet to the wall that is closest to you on your toilet bowl so you can read the examples well.
  3. Stay in the toilet until you have impressed a few of the verbs. How many, that depends on you. You can best estimate how absorbent you are.
  4. If you believe that you have understood the verbs on page 1 and also saved with the corresponding preposition, you will retrieve the page to the ring book and continue with the next page.

At some point, you should test what you already have in your head. You do that best not in the toilet, but with the PC exercises that are specified at the end of the list of the link: https://deutschlernerblog.de/uebungen-verben-mit-prae Positions-a1-c2-praeposition-pronominaladverb/#Verben_Preposition_A1 Of course, all verbs are confused (ordered only by levels). But that doesn’t matter. You definitely see what you can do, and you can do these tests. repeat as often as desired.

And this is the magic word for verbs with prepositions: Repeat! There are hardly a logic, where: to talk about verbs like “with jdm., separate from jdm/something, hang on jdm/something”. Why “think about + Akk,” but “take on + Dat.” It doesn’t help anything: you have to make a verb with preposition so often and so long in the sentence context repeat, until it dig into the long-term memory.

P.S.

If you know the preposition that belongs to a verb, then it is relatively easy for you.

  1. You just need the fixed prepositions + Dativ (ab, Of which:, except for, with, Aftersince, from) to learn by heart. The boldly printed also occur in verbs with prepositions.
  2. Just as you learn the prepositions that always stand with the battery (until, byfor, againstwithout, around). The fat pressure is relevant for verbs with prepositions.
  3. Only the 9 alternating positions are problematic (innext, under, over, onin front, behind, between), which are easy to use in local use (Where? Prep. + Dat. /Where? Prep. + Akk.), but do not follow any rule if they are firmly connected to a verb. You have to learn Verb+Prep.+Kasus as a whole and don’t have to ask yourself why it is. “About” is always and “on” mostly with Akk., “between” and “under” always with Dat. connected.

Summary verbs + prepositions

  1. Verb + in the case of + Dativ
  2. Verb + for over + battery
  3. Verb + on the + Dativ / battery !!️Attention! Wackelkane data!

Laziness is female = laziness

so it’s all about laziness

other example with male main word: “carriage” It’s all up to the car. “the child” = It’s all about the child.

Again female “the attitude” It’s all about the attitude.

Battery: Wen I see there. Den I see Father there. (Wenfall)

Dativ: Wem I’m right. Dem Father, I’m right. [Whispering]

On can be a change-preposition, then the battery stands when a direction is specified, and the tripod, when a location is specified, is as correct as possible.

However, there are also cases where this rule does not work because it is not local information. Then, depending on the verb, it can be either dativ or rechargeable.

  • believe in someone (Akk)
  • have interest in someone (Dat)

You have to learn that by heart. At least I don’t know a rule of thumb here.

Sers,

I think you can learn a foreign language right when you’re in the country and listen to the natives….they don’t speak “polish”, but usually good.

if one does not use the foreign language for any “official” (public work, I mean) it is good….some ask about spelling and grammatics cannot answer the “local” either.
my ex could garkeine german, she has looked up throughout the day in the television, a year later she has spoken super, o.k., from grammatic had/has no warning…..( she has been here for 35 years)😂
