Was ist Akkusativ? | German accusative explained | YourGermanTeacher
Was ist Akkusativ? What is actually the meaning of this German case called accusative? When do you have to use it? Was ist ein Akkusativobjekt?
These are all questions which very often come up for beginner students who learn the basics of the German language. With this video I try to solve the mysterious German grammar problem once and for all and will explain you what accusative really is, the accusative meaning and teach you also the Akkusativobjekt.
Generally speaking accusative is very close to the English direct object. This German case is used after specific verbs and prepositions. Prepositions I will not touch in the video. Verbs are actually pretty easy explained. Just always use the accusative case if you don't know better. There are only a handful of verbs which require Nominative. For a little bit more you need to use Dative. For almost all the rest just use Accusative.
Another way to explain the German case Akkusativ:
If you have a sentence with one object, almost every time this object needs to be in Akkusativ. So every sentence has a subject, which stand in Nominativ and if you have an additional person or thing in this sentence which would be the object, you need to use Akkusativ.

ich esse gern... 😉
great! happy learning! 👍😊
@@yourgermanteacher Vielen Dank!
"2 people 2 things" great job man. Didnt think i would get it in this lifetime
I just started a german course at my university and the difference between nominative and accusative cases has been so tricky for me. The "2 people-2 things" explanation cleared everything up for me. Thank you so much.
Gerne 😊
18 years casually trying to learn german and not even knowing nomanitive accusative and dative even exist. Its embarrasing, its frustrating and it highlights a complete failure for me. At least you learned early that there is any such thing
@@loadapish how come?
Luzi explained the cases so clearly…just the stupid music in the background totally put me off. I was going to start a course with your German teacher but I can’t focus as much as I should be on the language rather than the music. It has given me a headache. Such a shame!
Der Brief schreibt einen Mann.!Richtig Oder falsch
I've been trying to understand Akkusative past 6 months and you simply cleared everything within 12 minutes. Amazing content and teaching skills. Will recommend all my peers to watch and subscribe your channel.
🙏😊 danke dir
Thank God, I thought am the only one suffering from these topics but I have hope now and I believe our German teacher Luzi is here for us all
I thought I was the only person not understanding this stuff. However Sir explained it v well. Danke Sir 🙏🏻
it is me also
@@yourgermanteachergut
After my German class I come here because I learn more here than class, best German teacher. From South Africa
Instant subscription! High quality videos and he easily explains very confusing concepts with no difficulty. This channel is definitely underrated!
😊🙏 welcome!! 👋
Sir you are the best German teacher ever. The dative accusative thing I was learning for past 2 months. But you made it clear in 10 minutes
🙏😊
@@good123g I learnt A1 5 years ago, Akkusativ and Dative always make me confused... I wish I could make them clear today! 😀 ☀️ 🌹
👍👍👍 😂😂😂
Honestly, you are the best German teacher I have ever seen (online & offline). Your tactics and techniques are so helpful and easy to remember even the complex topics. I wish I could meet you in person one day.
🙏😊 danke dir
I just started teaching German to a friend of mine. I am native in German still these videos really helped me to get the grammar properly explained and put myself in another perspective: the of a foreigner learning German. I am super grateful for that. Thank you! I am learning a lot about my own language. Just a small thing I'd like to point out with the 'homework": Was isst du gerne? Though this question works to get an accusative answer. Usually we would reply without using any article and depending on the food we would choose whether to use the plural (mostly fruits) or singular form (somehow many vegetables :D ). Let me give you some examples: Ich esse gerne Pizza/Nudelauflauf/Ananas/Brot/Fisch/Blumenkohl/Käse/Salat/Paprika Ich esse gerne Äpfel/Bananen/Birnen/Brötchen/Tomaten This is the case when the question is posed in a general way as in: Was isst du gerne? (What do you like to eat?). If the scenario is a different one, let's say we are at a buffet and the host asks you: Was würdest du gerne essen? (What would you like to eat?) You could reply using accusative: Ich esse (gerne) einen Apfel/ ein Stück Kuchen/ einen Salat / eine Portion Nudelauflauf / ein Brötchen Also if the question is: Was isst du? (What are you eating?) Ich esse eine Banane/ eine Pizza/ einen Kuchen/ einen Nachtisch So, if the the food is more defined in a situation (we can actually see it) we'd go using accusative. Still, there are plenty of exceptions for some food that will never be fully covered, I suppose. For example, same buffet scenario and you choose to eat the cauliflower. Zum Beispiel: Selbes Büfett-Szenario und du suchst dir den Blumenkohl zum Essen aus. (I was just translating because the sentence actually included an accusative) Since you would not eat the whole cauliflower because it has been separated in its serving, you would still reply without using an article: Ich esse Blumenkohl or Ich esse ein bisschen Blumenkohl. Thank you again for your great video. Liebste Grüße
Ja du hast absolut recht!!😊 Leider war meine Fragestellung für die Hausaufgabe total blöd. 😔 Leider kann ich das nicht mehr ändern…
I love how you keep switching between English and German, I'm so glad I found your channel
Willkommen 🤗
You're the best teacher ever. Thank you so much
vielen dank! 🙏🙏😊
This is fascinating; I thought the German cases would be more difficult than this. Then again, I though the Russian cases would be difficult as well, but it's just different rules for each language. Some tend to make things more complex by comparing grammar rules, rather than accepting that each language is unique. I believe the first thing to do when learning a language is to get the mental roadblocks out of the way; you have no idea what you can do until you drop the resistance, roll up your sleeves, and get to work!
Best teacher so far. Instant subscription without looking back. Thank you so much for making me understand this which has been my very big problem
This is hands down the best ever tutorial on Akkusativ. I had been struggling with German cases for years. Vielen Dank, Luzi. 🙏🏻Keep up the good job!! 🎉I wonder why you guys are so underrated. 🤷🏻♀️
I take German classes in my city once a week and your videos help me consolidate thoroughly. Zum beispiel, I studied Akkusativ in class last week and this video is priceless. Vielen Danke ! Perfect icing on my German cake.
danke! 👍🙏 thats perfect! you need both... classes and additional material... best way!
These are hands down the best German language videos on KZhead. I‘ve watched so many of the other ones, I truly wish I had found these videos earlier, as I struggled with German 100 here in Canada very much. I will be relying on these a lot for German 110 this semester, and I wish there was somewhere where I could donate money or purchase something that would benefit the hosts. Wonderful resource, I hope you realize how helpful you are!

I recently discovered this channel through random navigation and it is a life saver. I have been learning German and never found such a good explanation to this cases. Ich esse gern einen Apfel. Ich trinke gern einen Wein / ein Bier. I find the channel underrated and I hope most German learners will locate it. So helpful. vielen Dank!
vielen Dank Nancy 🙏 happy to hear this! 😊
I love your channel! Thanks for breaking everything down! I took a semester of German 9 years ago and have just recently decided to start teaching myself in my free time and your videos are helping so much!
great to hear! 👍😊🙏💪💪
I like your comment
I recently wrote this on another video of yours but finally, the cases are clear to me. It will take some time to get really used to them but when i studied German years ago they were a nightmare for me. Now the thing that still makes my head explode is the word order. I don't mean some simple sentences but constructing complex and long sentences. I'm not at that level yet but i'd like to clear up the word order topic. Your channel is amazing and is making my German journey much, much easier, and more fun.
Thanks for the feedback. 😊🙏 We do have videos about sentence structure. This one is the first for more simple sentences: kzhead.info/sun/gpGYk9yAr2d8d2w/bejne.html At the end you can click to the next part. 😉
THANK. YOU.!! Oh my gosh I have been try to work out what Nominativ and Akkusativ is for so long! Finally someone who can explain it in simple terms (without saying "wo, wohin) 👍👍👍
👍😊 very welcome
I was trying to figure this out for about a month and your video has made it so easy for me ! Thank you soooo much
Sehr gerne. ☺️👍🙏
My goodness this video was uploaded a year ago and I learning German since almost 3 year I really had trouble understanding the case in Germany and I don't know how to explain it when someone ask me , and suddenly I found this KZhead channel only in 12 minutes I understand 😳 Thank you so much
bitteschön! 😊 sehr gerne! 👍👍 glad the video helped 🙏
I’m going to Germany this summer and your videos are helping me learn so I can have a conversation while I’m there. Thank you!

dankeschön 😊👍🙏🙏 happy it helped!
Wonderful teacher ❤❤
Give examples for Akkusative by using Wer, Was and Wen. Please tell the verb forms also 🙏
Thank you for your help. Loved the fact that you kept repeating Maskulin changes in the akkusativ. Helped me to understand.
👍😊
You are an extraordinary teacher!!!! I wish I had met you before. I have been trying to understand these cases and you are the only one that has been able to make sense of them!. Thank you!
You are so welcome
I really liked your explanation, I'm Brazilian, but I always had a lot of difficulty understanding the grammar of Portuguese and I was having difficulties understanding the accusative because it was explained in the way that grammar is explained to us Brazilians, so I think I understood your explanation better. I have always found English grammar much easier than Portuguese grammar.
😊👌 hope now its clear.
Hallo

the word "gern" goes with akkusativ,right?
gern is not a verb so you cannot say like this but the point here is that essen as a verb goes with the akkusativ@@bleondinaolluri9596
