Q

The SUBJECT of a sentence is the agent
of the action (the “doer of the verb”).

The person or thing which is directly acted
upon is called the DIRECT OBJECT

A

In German, the SUBJECT of the sentence is in the nominative case.

The DIRECT OBJECT is in
the accusative case

74
Q

DEFINITE ARTCLICES VS INDEFINITIVE ARTICLES

NOMINATIVE VS ACCUSTATIVE

A

Note that only
the masculine
articles
change in the
accusative
case!

DEFINITE
NOM: der, die, das, die
ACC: den die das die

INDEFINITE
NOM: ein, eine, ein, keine
ACC: einen eine ein keine

75
Q

NOMINATIVE NOUNS

A

You have already learned that pronouns can replace nouns. The pronouns we have been
using so far have all been subject pronouns in the nominative case (e.g. ich = I).

  1. ich
  2. du = you (informal singular)
  3. er = he/it
  4. sie = she/it
  5. es = it
  6. wir = we
  7. ihr = you (INFORMAL PLURAL)
  8. sie = they
  9. Sie = you (formal sing./pl.)
76
Q

ACCUSATIVE
PRONOUNS

A

Pronouns can also replace direct object nouns, in which case you use the accusative
pronouns (e.g. mich = me)

Note: The accusative forms of the non-binary neopronouns (nominative) xier and sier are xien and sien.

  1. mich* = me
  2. dich* = you
  3. ihn* = him/it
  4. sie = her/it
  5. es = it
  6. uns* = us
  7. euch* = you
  8. sie = them
  9. Sie = you
  10. ich
  11. du = you (informal singular)
  12. er = he/it
  13. sie = she/it
  14. es = it
  15. wir = we
  16. ihr = you (INFORMAL PLURAL)
  17. sie = they
  18. Sie = you (formal sing./pl.)
77
Q

enings vs their plurals

A

Feminine nouns referring to
people that end with -in
take the plural ending -nen.
die Mitbewohnerin
die Mitbewohnerinnen

The endings -e, -n, and
-en are the most common
plural forms.

Nouns ending in -er or -el
don’t take an ending, but
some add an Umlaut.

78
Q

Remember that
dieser and welcher
operate like the
definite article – i.e.
they take different
endings depending on
the gender and case
of the noun they
precede

So-called “der-words” such as “dieser” (this) and
“welcher” (which) follow the same pattern as the definite
article (i.e. they take the same endings).

compound nouns and gender noun plural attaches only to the last compound in compound.

the plural attaches only
to the last noun in the
compound.

die Telefonnummer, -n

118

A

precede

119
Q

understanding inclusive plurals

A

As we have seen, for every noun referring to a person in German, there is a
male form and a female form: eg. der Student, die Studentin. This means that
there are also male and female plural forms: die Studenten, die Studentinnen.

The ‘gender star’ (das Gendersternchen) is now commonly used before the
feminine plural ending -innen to create a gender-inclusive plural form: eg. die
Studentinnen, die Bürgerinnen (citizens), etc. Importantly, the gender star
doesn’t just indicate both male and female, it signifies all genders. This
inclusive plural form is quickly becoming mainstream, with Hanover becoming
the first state capital to mandate its use in all official communications in 2019.
