Hello and welcome to German class with Mr. Ferguson. This fifth grammatical lesson is the genitive. Thank you! If you are unsure what the case system is in German and you do not know how the nominative case works, or if you need a review of a defined or indefinite article, Begin with the second video in this grammar lesson, which goes beyond the nominative case system, by clicking here. The four cases in German are nominative, accusative, dative, and genitive. And this lesson will focus on the genitive case. So far, we have discovered the following articles in Germany. In the nominative case, we have the definite articles der, die, das, and die. and the indefinite articles a, an, and none. In the accusative case we have the, the, the, and the and a, an, a, and none. And in the dative case we have the definite articles dem, der, dem, den. plus another letter N on the dative plural name, if it can take one. And we also have the indefinite articles ein, eine, einem, and keinen. with the additional N. In the genitive case, the definite articles for masculine names are and the name receives an additional letter S or ES, depending on the syllables. For example, a syllable name like "Mann" receives an ES, for example, the man. Two-syllable names, such as "Bruder," receive a single letter S. for example, of the brother. We have the one for male names and the plus S or ES for neuter names, exactly the same as the male. And we have the one for plural names. And the indefinite articles are "ein" plus "s" or "es" for masculine names, one for male names, "eines plus S" or "ES" for neutral names and none for plural names. These articles, although they usually mean D and A, In the genitive case system, we should regard them as with the meaning of of the order of a And I will show you what I mean. We use the genitive case to show possession. Also in English we say either of, just like a friend of my father, or we use an apostrophe, just like my father's friend. In German, one cannot use apostrophes. everything also has to be upgraded a, of mine, etc. to become. It's easy to show you what I mean. with a few English examples. The man's car should be upgraded to become the man's car. The advantages of the internet are already in the correct form, Also, that's fine. My Mother's Glasses They should be my mother's glasses. In German, these phrases would be the car, Nominative Neuter of the man, genitive masculine The advantages, Nominative plural, of the internet, genitive neuter The glasses, nominative feminine of my mother, genitive feminine Take a look at these English sentences. and consider how you would rephrase the sentence to remove the apostrophe and include the word of My brother's dog. His sister's cat. The first phrase would become my brother's dog and the second would become the cat of his sister This is the most common way to encounter it. the genitive case, but it can also be triggered. That means when you use a special word, You have to use the genitive after this. And these special words are called prepositions. and they have specific meanings. For the genitive case, There's no easy acronym to use. to memorize the prepositions But I tend to use "we wait." which, well, grammatically incorrect Reminds me of Gollum from the Lord of the Rings films. And this helps me remember the genitive It's all about possession. Due to, meaning because of. For example, because of the weather, due to the weather While, during, or for the duration of For example, during the movie, during the film Outside For example, outside of school, outside of the school Inside, within. For example, within a building, inside a building Despite For example, despite the weather, in spite of the weather City, instead of For example, City of Computers, instead of the computer. You might also see the word *anstatt*. instead of but this works and means exactly the same as Stadt. There are other prepositions. What triggers the genitive case? and the most important one of these to know Yes, "dank" means "thanks to." Now, I can't seem to fit this into my acronym, But it is useful to know. For example, thanks to my father, Thanks to my father. The last thing you need to know about the genitive case Is that the pronouns? I, you, he, she, etc. change. But the good news is that these changes in exactly the same way as they did in the dative case. Remember to go back and watch the dative case lesson if you haven't already done so by clicking here. In the genitive case, as they did in the dative case the nominative German pronouns I, you, he, she, it we, you, she, they Change it like this. I becomes me you becomes you he becomes him she becomes her he becomes him we becomes us you become you (plural) they become them With a capital I because it is formal, and they become them with a lowercase i For example, because of me for my sake, not because of me, thanks to her Thanks to you, Not thanks to you, instead of him instead of him, Not instead of him. So, that's a brief summary. of the genitive case It is considered to be a difficult case but I don't think it's as difficult as the dative case. And it has the added bonus of sounding very impressive an deutsche Sprachnutzer Do note, though, that in some regions of the German-speaking world the dative case has replaced the genitive case. And, while people will still understand the genitive, you might hear things like due to the weather rather than because of the weather to mean due to the weather. It's a good idea to pause the video now To recap how the articles change from the nominative case to the genitive case and what I mean by possession, Which prepositions trigger the genitive? and how the pronouns change in the genitive case Did I forget something?
