Hello dear students! Today, we'll learn about the Dative case in German. It shows to whom or what an action is directed, answering to whom? to what?. It functions as the indirect object in a sentence.
For example, "Ich gebe dem Freund ein Buch" ("I give a book to my friend"). Articles change: der (masculine) to dem, die (feminine) to der, and das (neuter) to dem. Prepositions like mit (with) and zu (to) also require Dative. Practice is key!
