When to use der, die, das, dem, den, des in German

[@enachemihai-danjel]

I'm learning German at University and would become really confused with all the different articles and how they change depending on the cases (or in some cases deciding which case is which), but you've managed to explain it so concisely it's incredible. I really feel I've gotten a better understanding of them now after your beautiful explanation. Please do keep posting.

Thank you so much for the feedback and good luck with your studies!

It just re-enforces what I've said many times, for a native English speaker, German grammar is really challenging...

[@esinn.7488]

This is very well explained, though I find the music extremely distracting for such a complicated lesson.

[@HerrReid]

Thank you for the feedback - I'll make sure to turn it down for future videos!

[@daqt6079]

@@HerrReiddon’t worry about the music. It was just fine and I rather liked it.

Thanks a lot, for the video, very helpful, but the background music is not very helpful when you want to concentrate and understand what's being said.

[@HerrReid]

Thank you for the feedback, that's very helpful!

[@thatrobloxnoober7176]

This was very helpful, I always wondered how to use "den" in German 😁

[@HerrReid]

[@JonDifull]

I'm having trouble with this. I just don't get it. It seems random...Let's see if I get this by the end of this video

[@Aaravjod7]

We use ein for masculine or einen for masculine in german?

[@HerrReid]

Yes, ein when it is the subject of the sentence. It then becomes einen when it is the object of the sentence.

[@janracek4445]

Are animals really neuter? Like bear, bird, penguin are Der, so I am quite confused. Maybe I did bump into some special animal words that are masculine.

[@HerrReid]

You are right about those animals being 'der', the point I was trying to make was about young people and young animals usually being neuter, e.g. das Lamm, das Kalb, das Ferkel, not animals in general.

[@Kuzon13]

Der Käse, Die Pizza Is the cheese masculine and pizza feminine? 😂

[@HerrReid]

Richtig!

[@peterstankiewicz2474]

A tiny light bulb light up but from a Native English and Polish speaker this makes little sense to me.

[@user-ux2kk5vp7m]

thats cool and all, but what even are cases?

[@HerrReid]

Cases basically give you more information about the nouns in a sentence - who is doing what to who, what belongs to who and so on. You see it in English where I changes to me, my and mine for example. In German these words all change depending on who is doing the action. Also the words for 'the' and 'a/an' as well as adjectives change.
