PA Dutch 101 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 kaaftdemFreinden Buch. • Subject – Verb – Indirect Object – Direct Object.
The Definite Article (THE) • In the Dativ Case, we use the following definite articles:
The Indefinite Article (A/AN) • The Indefinite Article does not specifically identify the noun that they are associated with.
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! • IchschickmeimGrossdaadien Brief. • Der Bu schreibtdeinreMudderen Poschtkaart.
Dative Personal Pronouns • Just like the other Cases, the Dative has its own Personal Pronouns:
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 Blatzvun– 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 mitdeinreFraa? • ZidderemYaahrwuhnich do. • IchkannmitausmeinreSchuhnet 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 seiMaschieniss 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)
