5:10 - Easy to miss: *auf* is a two-way preposition, so accusative with *gehen* and dative with *kaufen* . 8:35 - Exception: *nach Hause* , a fixed expression.

One doubt. Dann geht er auf den Markt. Auf dem Markt kauft er..... Why "auf den" in the first sentence and "auf dem" in the second sentence?

@NamanSharma-uj2vx Жыл бұрын

@@gourirajan4706 Auf Den Markt is akkusativ because the sentence is depicting a movement. Auf Dem Markt is Dativ coz that sentence is describing a location and not a movement.

Hi Luzi First, thank you for all these videos, you’re really helping us a looot to understand everything better. Now i have a question: if “bei” is a preposition which requires Dativ, why didn’t we use “einem” instead of “ein” in the example “Beim Backer kauft er ein Brot” Could you also say if “ein” is in Akkusativ or Nominativ and why? Thank you 🫶🏼

@danielaparisi-pk9yc 5 ай бұрын

Hello Elena, hope it is not too late for the response! Im also learning the language but I would say that it is due to the fact that kaufen is a transitive verb and therefore requires akkusative for its object, in this case the bread (das Brot), the indefinite article is ein, it would be einen if the noun were masculine and eine if it were femenine, but since Brot is neutral you need to use ein. If you look closer, you can see that Beim Backer, uses Bei + dem, therefore Beim, this first part is indeed using Dativ. Good luck!

@alanwalton4190 Жыл бұрын

Hi, What I find strange is zu is dative and wohin is accusitive. And dative is described as no motion, but it is used with a moving verb. The same with aus. Ich komme aus dem Haus, but how can one come out of somewhere without motion. Anyway, thanks for an excellent video.

@yourgermanteacher Жыл бұрын

True! Those prepositions are fix with their case. Those question words become important when used with two way prepositions in order to distinguish which case to use.

@burmanshonima Ай бұрын

Hello Luzi, "zu" is used in case of movement that is Wohin but "zu" is a Dativ verb....We use "Wo" in case of Dativ. Can you please clarify this?

@gregoryowain2073 Жыл бұрын

So just to clarify - 'bei' and 'an' are interchangeable if there is no movement? But it depends on the context on whether one is used more than the other in everyday usage?

@yourgermanteacher Жыл бұрын

Depends on the context yes but rarely interchangeable. An is way less common and used in specific situations like an der Uni… an der Wand… an der Ampel

Hallo sir , I have a small doubt . I am actually learning from your videos . I am confused with the following preposition such as Auf, an,zu and bei . Basically Auf- on , an - at/on , zu- to/at , bei-with/at .But in some cases the preposition "at" is used by all of these preposition ( auf,an,zu,bei). Can you please differentiate when the An,Auf ,zu,bei takes "at" cases . I dont see any videos explaining them with "at" cases for all these why and how?
