Ich bin deutsche Muttersprachelerin und dein deutsch und deine Erklärungen sind unglaublich gut! Wären meine Englischlehrer so gut gewesen, wäre ich jetzt viel besser.
I'm a german nativ speaker and your german and your explanations are very good. If my english teacher were as good as you I would be al lot better in english.
The pneumonic device that I learned for accusative’s prepositions was a song; “Durch,für,gegen,ohne,um,ohne,um,ohne,um,durch,für,gegen,ohne,um,bis,und entlang.” This was sung to the tune of “London Bridge is Falling Down.”
That is awesome. I have never heard that one. I'll add it to my list. I like that it includes bis and entlang since they are often overlooked (even in my songs).
Learn German with Herr Antrim I don’t mean to step on the toes of “Bo Fudge” but I did want to share it with you since I thought it would prove helpful in the classroom.I also have another pneumonic device for dative that I’ll post on it’s master class video.
EDIT: Just saw that you already had the Blue Danube one on there.Therefore no need for me to reiterate it in the comments below.
Superb way to remember!! Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much,May God bless your Heart.
I can now understand this,finally.
Thanks a thousand times.
You are welcome. I'm glad it helped.
You are amazing Here Antrim. You explain things very well with adequate examples. Thank you
Content to time ratio is great! Really surges up the knowledge provided one have the same enthusiasm throughout the video! Vielen Dank...
Thanks a lot for this Antrim! This has helped enormously with learning German, and I look forward to watching more of your master classes! =D
Great to hear. I only have 4 right now, but plan on doing more. Maybe now that I am working from home I can get those done.
You are a tremendous teacher. I want so badly to communicate with my sister in Germany. We haven't seen each other for 18 years and my heart is broken. I hope that I can learn German within a few months so I can speak with her in an advanced level. I know some of the language already but not enough to really have good conversation.
It's been a year, how did it go?!
Same, but with my entire paternal family. Hope to one day meet them
Viel dank.
Thank you! Such clear and patient explanation, not assuming any prior grammatical knowledge. Essential for your adult, British students, few of whom would have been taught the parts of speech in theIr own language at school.
Thank you so much! Your explanations make so much sense and make the concepts easier to understand.
You're very welcome! I'm glad I could help.
The best content out there on whole internet. Vielen Dank.
Ich laufe entlang der Straße.
Thank You again.
May God bless you.
I hope my sentence above,is correct.
es ist korrekt!
thank you very much!
Great work. Danke 🙏
Das ist eine gute Präsentation, Herr Antrim. Dankeschön
Freut mich.
i love this so much. love germany
Thank you very much for your videos, vielen dank!!
Excellent
Wow!!!! Danke!! Das Ist sehr Nützlich 👍🏼
Intense! But very clear.
I have been learning German for some time using textbooks and on apps (Duolingo/+Babbel), but as soon as I thought I had the cases right, some new "thing" would pop up and confuse the hell out of me. I think those tools are very helpful start, but nothing beats this "class-style" learning. Before I had pieces of knowledge, but your videos cohesively glue them all together to create the whole picture. Thank you!
Happy to help! I got tired of not having a single place to find all of the things about a particular case, so I made my own.
Danke 🌻
Best CZcams channel ever :) thank you for the video.
Wow, thanks!
the best video about cases evvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvver
Thanks
Wow u explained perfectly and hope u will do more on grammatik (conjunctive 1 and 2
I have a decent video about Konjunktiv 2 here: czcams.com/video/brkA_N6Zlds/video.html
I go really in depth on my blog about the Konjunktiv 2: www.germanwithantrim.com/konjunktiv-2/
I haven't made any videos about Konjunktiv 1 yet, but I'll see what I can come up with.
Danke mein lehrer👍✌️

Und ich dich auch.
I think for a beginner it might not be obvious why something is in Nominative, Akkusativ, Dativ or Genitiv. It would be nice to introduce the idea of which or what kind of questions each of these cases answer. For example,
Nominative : Answers the question Who (Wer) or What (Was)? Therefore, there can be a simple sentence that describes (or nominates) something. E.g.
- Das ist eine Gurcke.
- Der Mann von Russland.
Both of these sentences are just Nominative + Verb + Nominative.
Akkusative : Answers the question What (Was) or Wen (Who)? Something that directly receives the (consequences of) action.
- Der Mann gibt einen Lutscher. (Der Mann gibt ( gibt was? --> einen Lutscher)
- Ich werfe den Ball. ( werfe was? --> den Ball)
- Er mag dich. ( mag wen? --> dich)
... I will add more edits
Deklination
With due diligence to note that an accusative was once a nominative!!!!
- You add 'e'/'e'/e'/'en' to the adjectives with the definite articles (der/die/das/die(Pl.))
I agree with you in concept, but your execution could use a bit of work. Here is how I would break it down.
Nominative - Answers the question "Who", as in "Who is doing something in this sentence?"
Accusative - Answers the question "Whom" or "What", as in "Whom/What is the subject verbing?"
Dative - Answers the question "For/To whom, as in "For/To whom is the subject verbing the object?"
Genitive - Answers the question "Whose", as in "Whose shoe is this?"
(Quick Side Note: I use "verbing" instead of an actual verb, as it allows you to substitute in whatever you need for your example.)
Your example "Der Mann von Russland" isn't a sentence. It lacks a verb and you were trying to show nominative on both sides of the verb, so you should have written something like "Der Mann von Russland ist der Kaiser." This has nominative on both sides, but could be simplified to "Der Mann ist der Kaiser." to avoid confusion with the preposition "von", which requires the dative case. (Der Mann von *der* Schweiz).
Your accusative examples are excellent. The question word "wen", however, should be translated with the English word "whom", as it isn't the subject.
@@MrLAntrim I agree with you that my execution could use more work and I am in the middle of it. Saying 'Hi' to you from Berlin.
@@MrLAntrim The description at 52:14 does a good job of conveying this idea and it is quite subtle (Es ist ganz Subtil)
Guten tag Herr Antrim. I've been learning Deutsch for some time now. I had few questions:
1. Is attributive adjective declension the single most difficult and important thing in German?
2. I can get it right, but it takes some time. What do you suggest to practice it?
1. Difficult? Yes. Important? Not necessarily. I believe communication is the most important part of learning a language. You can do that effectively without mastering adjective declension.
2. Read, watch and listen to as much German as possible. The more input you have the more natural the declension will sound. Once you have an ear for it, it isn't as difficult. You will start recognizing patterns that make more sense than charts and tables. Example: "mit" requires dative which means you say "mit dem schwarzen Auto" and "mit der frühen S-Bahn". It soon becomes natural to say -en on an adjective after "mit". Then you generalize to all Dative prepositions and Dative verbs. Input is key to making this feel natural.
The most important thing is as Herr Antrim said that you understand and that you will be understood or communication.
The most difficult thing in German that a learner will rarely master is grammatical genders. But good thing is, they don't hinder communication when getting it wrong, it just sounds heavily off.
10:00 15:10 17:40 29:40 44:14
Does the special rule of akkusativ and Dative apply only to the word 'entlang' only or it applies to all akkusative propositions when we use it after the prepositional object and before the prepositional object.
Only entlang
Guten Tag Herr Antrim . I am in awe of your German language teaching skills . I wish I could have you as my tutor 😀
One question on present perfect if I may whenever you get a chance to clarify . Why do we say ‚Du bist es kaputt gemacht‘ . I mean how can you use make and break in the same sentence and translate it as ‚ you broke it‘ . Kaputt is an adjective and isn’t this accusative and shouldn’t it be Das kaputt . thanks for your great work and stay safe
You wouldn't say "Du bist es kaputt gemacht." That isn't a grammatical possibility. The verb "machen" requires the helping verb "haben", which means you should say "Du hast es kaputt gemacht." (You broke it.) "Kaputt" is an adjective and adjectives don't have articles like "das" nor do they have cases unless they are used as a partner to a noun. The accusative thing in that sentence is the pronoun "es", which is thing thing that is being made "kaputt".
Thanks Herr Antrim
And keep up your good work
The man gave the kid the sucker.
The man gave the sucker to the kid.
The kid was given, from the man, the sucker.
The kid was given the sucker by the man.
The sucker was given to the kid from the man.
The sucker was given from the man to the kid.
I always think of it as
The (nom) verbs the (akk) which affects the (dat)
Good thought process.
Danke Herr Antrim. I'm curious as to why the German language didn't feel it necessary to amend the accusative for definite articles for fem/neuter/plural and thus, it's only different for masc nouns??
It is believed that in the original indo-European language, where all indo-european languages evolved from the masculine words were always the subject and neuter words were always the object. Simple example, the tree couldn't walk in Indo-European, therefore it was neuter and always the object. But then neuter words began to be able to be used as subjects and subject words became usable as object words. This made it necessary to accostum the grammatical gender system, thus inventing the case system. That's the reason why they are interwoven, and if the case system falls the gender system collapses too, which happened in English. If you change the usual table of definite articels from der-die-das to der-das-die, you will notice that the masculine article changes in accusative (der->den), but the neuter article doesn't (das->das). The reason is the language only accostums as much as needed, not as much as it can. Neuter words are still as odd in subject position that they don't need to be specially marked as accusative. The feminine evolved out of the neuter gender for abstractions (all the -ung, -keit, -schaft words) and collectives (Gruppe) and furthermore creating the plural. After years of evolution you have many words mixed up in the gender system, that's why hate is masculine although it's an abstraction, you have to research the words itself why they got its actual gender.
At 22:17, why do we say "der Hand" as opposed to "sein Hand" for "his hand"?
At 25:30, you mentioned that euer and unser both lose the middle "e" and gain one at the end if it needs to, so would that be "unsre"? I've only ever seen "unsere"
22:17 - I goofed. It should be sein Hand.
25:30 - I wrote it like it is said instead of how it is officially spelled. Almost no one says the e before r in unsere. It is officially supposed to be there when you write it, however.
@@MrLAntrim That's good to know, thank you
I can not find your video about Nomitive on your channel... please help me,
I don't have one. It is kind of covered in the other 3 case videos.
Can I treat the words dieser, jeder, welcher, etc. as adjectives? I know they are technically not, but it's easier to put them in this category because the endings are still the same.
The endings are mostly the same, but when you get to the genitive case, they are not. Also, adjectives after these words use endings that are the same as if the adjective was preceded by a definite article, not as if they were preceded by another adjective.
Hallo, just to confirm something please:is 'in and vor' an akkussative preposition?
They are two-way prepositions (Wechselpräpositionen). They can be used with the accusative or dative cases. You can see my latest video about them here: czcams.com/video/eYsmq7DYyOg/video.html
Really useful but a bit indigestable all at once!
I would definitely recommend splitting this lesson up into several sittings. Doing it all at once would definitely be overwhelming. Maybe do a couple of chapters and then practice what you learned. Then come back the next day for a few more chapters.
35:50 I didn't get why you used Ihre kleinen Kinder, instead of Ihre kleine Kinder. to avoid confusion? will it be same in other similar situations too?
It should always be Ihre kleinen Kinder. Adjectives use different endings based on the case, gender and number of the nouns they describe. In this instance I used an ein-word (possessive pronoun that uses the same endings as "ein") with a plural noun. All of the adjectives after ein-words with plural nouns require -en on the adjective. You can learn more about adjective endings in German with this lesson: czcams.com/video/YlDo5g03uE0/video.html
Sir as you said that there is an ending of "en" in adjectives when the nouns r in plural form right? Then why in this sentence "Das Gemälde hat schöne Farben" the adjective "schön" have ending of "e" instead of "en"? Please do tell me...
There is no article preceding the adjective, which means it takes the -e rather than -en.
@@MrLAntrim u mean for ending "en" there should be article "die" - "Das Gemälde hat "die" schönen Farben" ? Am i getting it right?
Strong declension when there is no article used.
How and why in German we say " Deutsch lernen mit Herrn Antrim", since "mit" is a preposition that takes "dativ" article and since "Herr" is a masculine type right? So my question is why we r adding "n" with "Herr"? Please do tell me..
"Herr" is a weak noun. It requires the addition of an -N in every case except the nominative.
Herr Antrim, do you have A2 course videos?
My most recent videos have been aimed at the A2 level, but I do not have a full course for that yet.
@@MrLAntrim Oh ok.
@@srikare1983 I know this is probably too late to be relevant, but I do have an A2 course video now. You can find it here: czcams.com/video/24izdHrwvYo/video.html
@@MrLAntrim Thank you. It's not too late.
Are you American or german?
You're so kind.
Thanks
American.
@@MrLAntrim oh,nice!
I like Americans for their sense of humour.
They make me laugh
Germans have a sense of humor, too. It just isn't usually the same as American humor.
Im amerikanischen but grew up in Germany live btw uk & Germany so is a sucker a lolly?
Yes.
ich renne, die Fahrt, der Kauf, die Ware, die Qualität, die Schwere, e ist schwer, ich renne, do you see how the verb peaks at renne, the noun peaks at ware and the adjective peaks at schwer? its a wheel
its all nouns or verbs or adjectives, just a matter of perspective
well i forgott to get some good verbs, like "lesen" which is allredy very close to an ajdective
oder er riecht, noch näher am ajdective
Confusing ? I don’t know about that !
u should try teaching Latin grammar
56:56 because I saw that you also are funny (that eg "er braucht die Tür " 😂) I will put here an eg linked to reflexive pronouns that is funny too: in my mother language we say instead of "ich wurde in Europa geboren" literally "ich habe mich in Europa geboren " like I, myself I did that 😂😂😂 so ja, we are using like a lot refl. pronouns, much more than German that uses them some times when it does make sense and much much more than English that doesn't use them almost never. So for me the problem would be "when in German they are used? There are only some verbs that require refl. pronouns? " because I feel like translating from my language into German and I'd use them but I see after that German doesn't require them in that particular case - in conclusion, I feel like using them in German too many times, when they ain't requested
Can you teach me ??
That would be tough. I can't help you with switching between your language and German. I only know English and German, so my lessons are geared towards people who would like to do the same. Sorry.
Learn German with Herr Antrim thank you for your answer Herr Antrim. I am not going to insist on this because I will catch up on going these verbs that require refl pron, in German of course, not in my mother language, which in English are not requested (wir interessieren uns für = we are interested in, ZB) I really appreciate that you are right along your viewers, us. Please continue that, even when you’ll have a lot of subs and viewers!! You didn’t respond my question 😬 are you a German, too? (Because of those “r” sounds very well pronounced I suppose that)
I am an American. I learned German in 10-12 grades and then at the University.
Learn German with Herr Antrim bravo!!! You pronounce just like the Germans I follow

@@MrLAntrim Guten Abend Lewi! Wie geht s dir? Höffentlich ser gut. Ich kommente unter einer den alteren deiner Videos. Phw! Entschuldige mich.... aberweist daß ich spreche nur ein bißchen deutsch! So: Heute war 13 Oktober, ein großer Tag in Ungarn! Denn Ungarn muste Bürgermeister(inne)n und lokal poliker(inne)n wahlen! Natürlich ich wahlte auch! Man hatte 3 Papieren. Das wichtigste Papir natürlich der Burgmeister war! Danach, man hat ein anderes Papir bekommen. Wir hatten Personen, Namen wahlen, wie in der parlamentarischen Wahlen. Das letzte Papir, wieder nur Partein! Aber leider ich fickte das wichtigstes Papir! Wir haben eine große Partei, Demokratische Koalition. Leider der President der Partei ist Franz oder Ferenc Gyurcsany. Ja, jener ferenc gyurcsany! So ich mochte den polikern der dk wahlen. Aber: Mein Kugelschreiber war fast gefallen, und das x war beim Namen eines politikers, der war der Aspirant einer kleinen Partei.... Leider ich kan ihren Namen nicht untersetzen. Achtung! Wir haben eine fast Partei, leider sie nazis, faschisten sind. Zum Glück, den Namen der Partei, Organisazion ist einfach zu untersetzen... Unser Vaterland.... Diese scheiße nichts organisazion ist fast gleich, wie die jobbik ist. Sie haßn Zigeunern, Schwarzen undigrante. Leider sie hatten eine Grupe, Ungarische Garde. Z g diese Gruppe war gestorben. Meine erste
aber, warum das wort mädchen ist nicht feminin?
Wörter, die mit -chen enden, sind alle neutrum. Egal worauf das Wort deutet.
