How to Speak German - A Beginners Lesson to Learn German
July 2nd, 2009 by admin
German is an “inflected” language, which means that it creates meaning by changing the form of words instead of just their order. English has a bit of this, like when we use “she” for a subject but “her” for a direct or indirect object. In German, however, every noun must be inflected each time it is used. It does this by what is called “declension,” free Rocket German or changing the articles (English “a,” “an,” and “the”) according to the noun’s case, or use in a sentence. So, for example, one would start a sentence about a dog by saying “Ein Hund” (a dog). But if that dog were a direct object in the sentence, you would say “einen Hund” (a dog).
