Grammar: Relative Clauses (Part 2): Accusative Case - Lesson 12 (A2-B1) (Learn German)

- This video explains how to use relative clauses (Relativsätze) in the accusative case to give more information about a direct object of a verb. You will also learn how to use accusative prepositions in relative clauses, for example:
I have a new house, which just bought!
There are people for whom I would do anything!
I find myself using relative clauses all the time and I really think they’ll help you to improve your conversational German!
This lesson is ideal for GCSE or A Level students or those looking to be working at CEFR level A1 - A2!
Not only will accusative relative clauses improve your German, they can also help to improve your knowledge of English grammar!

Amazing herr fergsoun, dank fur die Lektion
thank you so much for these lessons! They really help me out. I'm going into year 11 this September but for my year 10 mocks I got a grade 8 which i'm super proud of because I used ur videos❤️❤️
I’m so glad they help! Well done on your 8 and good luck for this year! Super gemacht - Weiter so!!
Sehr gut
I think that there is a small mistake at "Die Leute, die hier wohnen, sind sehr komisch". The second "die" is not in the accusative. I think that it is also in the nominative, as there isn't any Subject different than "Die Leute".
You’re absolutely right! 🤦🏼♂️
I’m not sure how I missed that or thought that it was accusative! Perhaps I was tired! 😅
Thanks for pointing this out!
Perhaps a better option is:
“Die Leute, die ich hier sehe, sind sehr komisch!”
Das ist mein Mann,der ich sehr viele liebe
Super! 😊
Actually here we would use ‘den’ because you are the one doing the loving (subject = nominative) and your husband is the one being loved (direct object = accusative)
Das ist mein Mann, den ich sehr liebe
‘sehr viel’ does mean ‘very much’, but in this case we don’t need the ‘viel’
I hope that helps!
The way I like to think about it is rather than using a connector word like who or whom you can think of it in literal translation as that is my brother, he I find funny. Obviously this isn’t correct in English but it’s close enough to get the same meaning
That’s a really good idea!
I have a question:
Carlos war cool, ich kaufe zwei kinokarten fur ihn.
Why isnt it fur ihm isnt he the indirect object recieving the tickets?
Great question. You can form the sentence using the dative case with ‘him’ as the indirect object:
Ich kaufe ihm zwei Kinokarten’
(I’m buying him two cinema tickets)
But in your example, you used ‘für’
(I’m buying two cinema tickets for him)
and ‘für’ always goes with the accusative.
Hope that helps!
@@HerrFerguson that helped me a lot i couldnt figure out why it is accusative , i forgot abojt fur being a accusative verb. Thank you a lot for your help and spared time.
Die Frau und die Leute in 4:00 , why are they considered to be in the accusative case?
I got confused because I tried to join the two parts of the sentence Die Leute sind sehr komisch or Die Frai ist meine Tante , so I guessed its nominativ in the beginning, so yeah I don't get why its akkusativ , could you clarify this please ?
These videos are amazing keep it up !
‘Die Frau’ is nominative, but the relative pronoun ‘die’ is accusative because of its role in the new clause.
With ‘die Leute’, I made a mistake! 😅 This relative clause was in the nominative rather than the accusative. A better example would be:
‘Die Leute, die ich sehe, sind sehr komisch‘
(The people that I see are very strange)
