minus-squarefinitebanjo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up22·edit-21 day agoWhat really fucks with me is akkusativ suffixes If dein grampa isn’t the first and foremost noun in a sentence then it has to be deinen grampa but if it’s a feminine word the the rule doesn’t matter Meine Oma Liebt deine Oma. Mein Opa Liebt deine Oma. Mein Opa Liebt deinen Opa. Meine Oma Liebt deinen Opa. I want to be good at this but that shit makes no sense, Hans. And why the fuck does a Library have a gender?! EDIT: Liebt not Liebst in this context
minus-squareWIZARD POPE💫@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·14 hours agoBecause the subject is in Nominativ and the object is in Akusativ here.
minus-squarefinitebanjo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 hours agoHas anybody so far just considered not doing any of that anymore?
minus-squareWIZARD POPE💫@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·9 hours agoNo? Because then the whole langiage just stops functioning. I will just assume your native langiage is english here because pretty much all other european languages have cases.
minus-squarefinitebanjo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·8 hours agoI don’t think it would stop functioning if everything was das and dein, though. Bonus points for making every verb end with e as if it followed ich.
minus-squarejenesaisquoi@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9arrow-down1·21 hours agoIt’s not gender like in humans or in animals. Nobody thinks of the library as a woman, that would be absurd. It’s a purely grammatical concept.
minus-squareSchmoo@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·12 hours agoGrammatical gender will never make sense to me, and I suspect that’s because it actually just doesn’t make sense.
minus-squarebrennesel@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up16·1 day agoJust a minor correction: instead of “Liebst” it must be “liebt” since it’s 3rd person singular: ich liebe du liebst er/sie/es liebt
