We have the same cases in my mother tongue which is Arabic, so that makes it much easier to be understood. Otherwise, for others I believe it's hard because learning those cases in my own language was as hard as learning them in German now :D
German language be like a meme that says: "I DON'T WANT PEACE... I WANT PROBLEMS! ... ALWAYS!" instead of the cases, why don't you put the subject at the first of a sentence and put a single word like "der" for all the articles?
Tips where very helpful: - Subject is always and always nominative. - Generally verbs are accusativ (better to learn non accusative ones) - If there is only one object it is generally accusativ - In case there are two object generally the non person one is accusative and person one is dative - In relation to previous line: Indirect object is in relation with the subject (generally non person so in accusativ), the indirect object is not in direct relation with the action in the sentence so can be another person (so dativ) - There is relatively small list of dative verbs.
I think you are wrong in the fifth tip: Indirect object is NOT in relation with the subject, that is de direct object because it has direct relation with the subject, so direct object is akk and indirect object is usually a person. Read min 6:35 and 11:15
Finally finally someone had explained this concept in common sense. I am at b1 and takin b2 in 10 days. However you have approached this concept in a different way and performed better that tens of tutors in RUclips. Thank you for this explanation
I've never learned and understood German with so much clarity and precision on any other platform. Lots of love and support to you from India ❤ keep flourishing!!
As an English teacher from Hungary who has forgotten a lot from German but wants to revive it, I find these videos extremely helpful. I appreciate your work, thank you so much🙏
This happened to me , but with Hungarian language :D My dad was Hungarian and I have not use the language for at least 10 years and now I struggle with it. May I ask you , could you recommend me some YT chanels to at least practice basic hungarian grammar ? When I hear someone speaking I am ok, but I am affraid to speak again. Thanks in advance . Viszontlátasra :D
Thank you so much for taking the time to teach us German so clearly. The illustrations, colour codes and examples really help to make sense of "it all". I actually look forward to learning more grammar now, thanks to you - which is something I NEVER thought I would write or even think! Before I found your videos I would approach the grammar with dread. Now it´s all coming together and is much clearer. Nochmals vielen Dank, your commitment, time and effort is really appreciated.
I would've had a better understanding of the German language and would've been speaking it albeit it, not fluently but at least understandable enough not to be laughed at had I watched your videos before any of the others. I've learned so much from you already. Thank you so very much!
Luzi, you are to be given award ❤. You really know how to teach, you are the best teacher I have ever seen on line. Thank More grace to your work. Danke you.
This is the best teacher I've ever met here in U tube thanks so much I'm a student from Kenya Africa I'm in the process of learning German because I'm looking for a job in Germany • God bless you
Thank you so much for this, been attending B2 class for over six months and only this video cleared the dative, akkusativ and nominative mess in my head & soul . Writing my test next month
When you showed the complete sentence - subj. Verb object object then down below it is - nominative, akkusative und dative 😂 i felt dizzy 😵 😅 and vomiting 🤢....make my brain in rumbled 😂
Keine Ahnung, warum mir das vorgeschlagen wurde, schließlich bin ich Deutscher und kenne die Fälle in und auswendig, aber ich muss sagen, du hast sehr gut erklärt und bestimmt einigen beim Lernen der Sprache geholfen!
Thank you, I was struggling to understand these cases, my mother tongue is Arabic and English is my second language and now I'm moving to Berlin with my Fiance so I'm learning german too and everything got mixed up together... THANKS
Just amazing, with this video, just in 20 minutes I could comprehend what I was afraid of for a long time. Thank you!!! I appreciate your work in this channel.
I have been trying to understand akkusativ und dativ for 2 weeks now and my teacher's explaining didn't do much but u in jjust 20 minutes made the whole thing clear thank u so much!!!!
OMG !! Finally I got this video which explaining the difference between cases in German in simple way without any complications or confusions. Thank you so much Luzi . You are doing a great job. From now I am your subscriber 👍.
Wow! Den Mann beisst der Hund. This is a really good example of the Akkusativ and Nominativ. It would be unusual to say that the dog bites the man this way but still possible. Thanks a lot, you are really good!
I really appreciate your videos, you are providing free quality content and are helping so many students. THANK YOU your videos mean the world to me. I have been your loyal subscriber for a long time and today I felt like expressing my gratefulness to your channel. Thank you!
I have tried to learn German and found lots of videos but this channel is very very extremely helpful. I highly recommend this channel, and the tutor explains very helpful and easy way!
Referred all your vids to meine Professorin at Oregon State. You have helped myself and many other students in the distance learning course. Hope they make you the standard lectures. THANK YOU!
Wow amazing 🎉thank you😁. Its the first time I've had German grammar explained in English and you've explained brilliantly. I am a slow learner and you have really helped me. Its given me hope 🌞
The quality of your videos is mind blowing. I said it in some other video comments but I'm instant subscriber. I learnt german for decades.....but that was 20 years ago. So right now I am somewhat on intermediate level looking for a good videos laying down rules and principles how and why I should speak this way or that way. Explaining me the rules of what I already know "how" but dont understand "why". Your content is the best I found on Ytube and I browsed a lot of content makers for learning german. Thank you thank, you very much for your hard work. I'm gonna binge watch all of your videos now 😅
I understand Aleman better if it is explained in English than in Spanish, thank you very much for the explanation, I have found this channel and I find it phenomenal.
I was always frustrated whenever it comes up with Akk or Dat. Your explanation is very clear and easy to understand. I wish all German teachers I met were like you. then I wouldn't have been stuck in the same level over and over again. Vielen Dank!
HALLO LUZI , WIE GEHTS? do you know what is good and attractive part of your videos is that you being there when you are explaining all those videos and i have learnt language from many native german speakers but i find that you are the best amongst all . Ich lerne gern mit dir LUZI. Vielen Danke Luzi.
This video helped me so much! I'm currently in A2 of Lingoda and they do NOT do a good job of teaching German grammar in a logical and clear way. I've learned more from your video that I have from Lindoga! This was so much clearer and easier to understand. Thank you!
I've just recently started learning German (still on those Duolingo lessons) and I was struggling so much with these cases. After watching this video I realized it's not so different from how it is on my mother tongue - Portuguese. Thank you so much for shedding a light on this!
Wow you made Deutsch so easy, I've used various learning tools, textbooks and other helpers, but never made so much progress until I started to watch your videos, you organize your playlist in a systematic way that makes learning it much more effecient. I'm in a point where I have a better foundation in Deutsch Grammar, have the essential vocabulary (not that broad, but I can construct most of the day to day sentences) but is still not conversational.
Most of the time I don't need to check the word in the translation too. So thank you so much YourGermanLanguage for making this medium free for everyone.
Ich bin in ein Deutschkurs in Deutschland und jede Woche frage ich.. "Was ist die Unterschied zwischen wer, wem, und wen? Können Sie bitte erklären?" jeden mal meine Lererins antwort ist "Leider, man kann nicht das erklären." Gott sei dank für endlich erklären!
-Nominativ is always the subject. -One object will always be akkusativ -When there’s objects and a person, the the person is dativ and the object is akkusativ -you have to look at the verbs to know which one is dativ/akkusativ when you have 2 verbs.
OMG... been studying IN SCHOOL for a year now (language school). I cant understand. But watching this 21min video ... i learned ! I learned what I couldnt in school. Hahah. Thank you soooo much!!!
Hello....i am 72 yrs......lived in Kitchener,Ont.,Canada for 10 yrs.....i have never met a german female in my life!....so the genders in the deutsch language stops me completely...quite a paradox!!!😢
Hallo, Lehrer! In Germany, there is an old, but beautiful building. On the forehead of the building there is the writing "DEM DEUTSCHEN VOLKE". In the past, I asked the Indonesian programme of Deutsche Welle about this: why suddenly there is a case of the dative used in the name of the building. But I still don't understand. Please explain why there suddenly has to be "dem" at the beginning of the name. That is my first question. To be continued.
21:06 Correct English translation might be "The picture pleases the man." Because in "The man likes the picture", 'the man' is obviously the subject and 'the picture' is the object. So it becomes confusing to accept 'dem Man' as dative (object) and 'das Bild' as nominative (subject) in corresponding German translation.
I appreciate that you teach in English. Many teachers teach in Deutsch and it only makes it more difficult for me. Maybe that is necessary for institutions because many applicants can't do English well. I'm not even a native English speaker and have never been to an English-speaking country.
Outstanding teaching skills. Keep on the good work, I truly appreciate your content and I'm looking forward to improve my German with it. Greetings from Venezuela!
In your example of Das Bild gefält dem Mann, why is the picture the subject? The man likes the picture, shouldn't the picture be the Dativ? Why is Mann Dativ? I am confused.
Hi Luzi...May i know why a verb is a dative or akkusative ? What makes a verb to fall in the category of Dative or akkusative....what is the logic behind this ? Let's take an example of "Helfen" verb....why helfen is a dative .?? .why it is not akkusative ?..Let me tell you my understanding and correct me if i am wrong. When it comes to help ...then of course you are going to help a person which is an indirect object in most of the cases ...that's why "helfen" falls in the category of dative ? ...let's take an exaample of "gehören" means to belong. So if i say "Gaza belongs to israel" Then isreal is not a person ....hence it clearly contradicts my assumption ....then why "gehören" is a dative verb ?
"Das Bild gefallt dem Mann" Isnt it supposed to be "Der Mann gefallt dem Bild". Or am i missing something here. Anyways, your videos are very good. probably the best compared to other youtube vides.
13:40 wouldn't the man be the subject in this first example? Since he is the one doing the verb (gefallen) to the picture? EDIT: For anyone else who notices this, "Gefallen" is a special verb with different rules. He made a different video that goes into this.
Please excuse my ignorance, I have not yet seen any lessons on past-perfect and simple past tense sentence word order. Question about example given in Bonus Tipp What is the grammatical difference between these two sentences? 1. Mia hat einen Laptop gekauft. 2. Mia gekauft einen Laptop. 3. Mia hat gekauft einen Laptop. Is this the difference between past-perfect and simple past tense?
I don't understand why the people hate so much the german's cases, they are so simplified in comparison with the greek's ones, for example, I am studying german and greek, and I have to say that german gets all the advantages of having cases, like having more flexibility about the word's order or having the possibility to drop some prepositions when the case already gives you the meaning that you want, without all of that overwhelming morphology that greek has.
"Liest du gern Bücher"? means "Do you like to read books?" Lit: "Read you willingly books"? This is rather a strange way of simply asking: Magst du Bücher zu lesen?
Great video. Thank you :) ❤ "Die Maus beißt die Katze". Cases don't answer the question who bit whom in this sentence. How does German solve that problem?
wem is whom. I presume it wouldn't be Dativ in arranged marriages or when trading a player between clubs. Ex. Tim was traded to Manchester whoever Tim is. Wouldn't he be in Acusativ there? Then Tim was given away in marriage, and then given by his new wife to the police once she found out who Tim was. Can you tell me how those would work???
Hi,First of all , I should say video is so informative. I have a doubt in this video .Hope someone will help. The sentence 'Das Bild gefällt dem Mann'.( You can see that sentence at 13.46 timing ). I understand that here 'Das Bild' is subject here because subject should always be in nominative and 'dem Mann' in dative . Then meaning of the sentence of the sentence will be ' The pictures likes the Mann' . But in the video he has written the meaning as ' The man likes the pictures' . I know what I said is not logically correct. But the sentence gives this meaning ' the picture likes the Mann'. Someone please tell me where am I wrong .
To say cases help understanding doesn't address the fact that feminine and neutral nouns use the same term for both nominative and accusative forms. So, as per your example, if I was to say: 'Die Frau beißt die Katze' you would have no idea who was biting who (following your example, and ignoring word order).
whz do we have the cases_ well, we could also say why it works i nEnglish without the cases. The dog bites the man. The man bites the dog. why does it nevertheless work?
can I ask why you don't make B1 course? i saw your site but just found out about A1 and A2 Can I also ask ow to move from B1 to B2? the difference is that in B2 you can use different words and talk about more complicate thema?
The video was very helpful! Can you please also make one about how to know when to use akkusativ or dativ when it comes to relativpronomen? It becomes very confusing in relativsatzen.
Thank you so much. Could you please explain the dativ vs akkusativ in these 2 sentences? 1. The dog is in the house (in dem/im Haus) 2. The man goes into the house (in das/ins Haus)
Sir may I know how to differentiate whether it is Akkusativ or Dativ by looking at sentences? Where should i focus first? If I don’t know whether the verb and articles are Akkusativ or Dativ?
Neither English nor German is my mother tongue but I speak both of them - so I understood what he was saying... but at first I got confused whether he speaks English or German :-))

Exactly 💯 this two can make one go mad hahahaha

Fr real Bro. Like why?! 😂😂😂
So true
This is legit one of the best channels to learn German, so clear and precise!
🙏😊
I agree totally! Also, I think it is the most interesting.
Tips where very helpful:
- Subject is always and always nominative.
- Generally verbs are accusativ (better to learn non accusative ones)
- If there is only one object it is generally accusativ
- In case there are two object generally the non person one is accusative and person one is dative
- In relation to previous line: Indirect object is in relation with the subject (generally non person so in accusativ), the indirect object is not in direct relation with the action in the sentence so can be another person (so dativ)
- There is relatively small list of dative verbs.
I think you are wrong in the fifth tip: Indirect object is NOT in relation with the subject, that is de direct object because it has direct relation with the subject, so direct object is akk and indirect object is usually a person. Read min 6:35 and 11:15
Vielen danke
what do you mean "Generally" :(
I think he meant mostly speaking (70-80% o f times)
Sie arbeitet in einer Arztpraxis. Why Arztpraxis has taken dativ?

I don't understand why the people hate so much the german's cases, they are so simplified in comparison with the greek's ones, for example, I am studying german and greek, and I have to say that german gets all the advantages of having cases, like having more flexibility about the word's order or having the possibility to drop some prepositions when the case already gives you the meaning that you want, without all of that overwhelming morphology that greek has.
"Liest du gern Bücher"? means "Do you like to read books?"
Lit: "Read you willingly books"? This is rather a strange way of simply asking:
Magst du Bücher zu lesen?
Great video. Thank you :) ❤
"Die Maus beißt die Katze". Cases don't answer the question who bit whom in this sentence. How does German solve that problem?
الله يسعدك ويحفظك بارك الله فيك والله انت رتبت الفوضى الي فراسي كل الحب والاحترام لك❤️❤️
YOU ARE LITERALLY THE BEST. I have never been clear about this topic until today. Thank for helping me understand it. The tips were GREAT.
You are so welcome!
wem is whom. I presume it wouldn't be Dativ in arranged marriages or when trading a player between clubs. Ex. Tim was traded to Manchester whoever Tim is. Wouldn't he be in Acusativ there? Then Tim was given away in marriage, and then given by his new wife to the police once she found out who Tim was. Can you tell me how those would work???
Hi,First of all , I should say video is so informative. I have a doubt in this video .Hope someone will help. The sentence 'Das Bild gefällt dem Mann'.( You can see that sentence at 13.46 timing ). I understand that here 'Das Bild' is subject here because subject should always be in nominative and 'dem Mann' in dative . Then meaning of the sentence of the sentence will be ' The pictures likes the Mann' . But in the video he has written the meaning as ' The man likes the pictures' . I know what I said is not logically correct. But the sentence gives this meaning ' the picture likes the Mann'. Someone please tell me where am I wrong .
Sorry but you make me confused by the third explain can you explain more you use dir .......!!! And that's not Dativ
To say cases help understanding doesn't address the fact that feminine and neutral nouns use the same term for both nominative and accusative forms. So, as per your example, if I was to say: 'Die Frau beißt die Katze' you would have no idea who was biting who (following your example, and ignoring word order).
My kindlo request,I can't find the link of special verbs 50 A1 to B2 dative. Can you send me this link
whz do we have the cases_ well, we could also say why it works i nEnglish without the cases. The dog bites the man. The man bites the dog. why does it nevertheless work?
can I ask why you don't make B1 course? i saw your site but just found out about A1 and A2
Can I also ask ow to move from B1 to B2? the difference is that in B2 you can use different words and talk about more complicate thema?
Hello and thank you very much. I couldn' t find the PDF with the verbs in DATIV. Can you pls explain it to me ? thank y again/
The video was very helpful! Can you please also make one about how to know when to use akkusativ or dativ when it comes to relativpronomen? It becomes very confusing in relativsatzen.
Thank you so much. Could you please explain the dativ vs akkusativ in these 2 sentences?
1. The dog is in the house (in dem/im Haus)
2. The man goes into the house (in das/ins Haus)
Bravo! Zuper! Vielen Dank!

Sir may I know how to differentiate whether it is Akkusativ or Dativ by looking at sentences? Where should i focus first? If I don’t know whether the verb and articles are Akkusativ or Dativ?
Neither English nor German is my mother tongue but I speak both of them - so I understood what he was saying... but at first I got confused whether he speaks English or German :-))
