Video 25: The Dative Case.Dativ.
The Dative Case
• As we covered in Video 12, the Nominative Case identifies the Subject of a sentence.
• As we covered in Video 17, Accusative Case is used to identify the Direct Object of a sentence.
• The Dative Case is used to identify the Indirect Object of a sentence.
• Alice buys the friend a book.• Alice is the Subject, book is the Direct Object, the friend is
the Indirect Object.• Die Alice kaaft dem Freind en Buch.• Subject – Verb – Indirect Object – Direct Object.
The Definite Article (THE)
• In the Dativ Case, we use the following definite articles:
Masculine Feminine Neuter Pluraldem der em de
The Indefinite Article (A/AN)
• The Indefinite Article does not specifically identify the noun that they are associated with.
Masculine Feminine Neuter Pluralme re me
Indefinite Articles and Poss. Adjs.
• We have already learned the meaning of the possessive adjectives (Video 13). These possessive adjectives take the same endings as those of the Indefinite Articles!
• Ich schick meim Grossdaadi en Brief.• Der Bu schreibt deinre Mudder en
Poschtkaart.
Dative Personal Pronouns
• Just like the other Cases, the Dative has its own Personal Pronouns:
Nom. Accusative Nom. Accusativeich mir mir unsdu dir dihr eicher ihm sie ihnesie rees em
Dative Prepositions
• Like the Accusative Case, the Dative Case has a set of 11 Prepositions.
• The rule when using these prepositions is that the noun associated with the preposition always takes the Dative Case!
Dative Prepositions
• aus – out of • bei – at the house of, at, by• in Blatz vun – instead of • mit - with• mitaus – without • nooch – to, toward, after • vun – from, of, by• weeich – on account of• wege – on account of• zidder – since zu – tu, at, too
Dative Prepositions
• Kummscht du mit deinre Fraa?• Zidder em Yaahr wuhn ich do.• Ich kann mitaus meinre Schuh net laafe.
Dative Prepositions
• Some Dative Prepositions and Articles are contracted as long as there is a special emphasis on the article:
• bei + dem = beim• vun + dem = vum• vun + me = vumme• zu + dem = zum• zu + me = zumme
Dative for Possession
• The Dative Case is used in PD to show possession.
• In English: John’s car is red.• In PD: Dem John sei Maschien iss rot.• As you can see, the noun doing the
possessing, takes the Dative Case which is followed by what is being owned.
• The owned object uses either (his/her etc)
Iewing - Practice
• Der Daadi kaaft ___ (the) Fraa en Zeiding.• Der Daadi kaaft der Fraa en Zeiding.• Die Schweschder gebt ___ (a) Kind (n) en Tomaet.• Die Schweschder gebt me Kind (n) en Tomaet.• Fraa Schneider geht mit ___ (him) eikaafe.• Fraa Schneider geht mit ihm eikaafe.• Die Karen wuhnt nooch bei ___ (them).• Die Karen wuhnt nooch bei ihne.
