In German, some verbs and prepositions change the words that follow them. This deck introduces a few very common phrases that use the dative case, which often translates to 'to' or 'for' someone. We'll focus on practical, spoken chunks you can use right away.
Lesson#2
Let's start with three key pronouns. 'Mir' means 'to me', 'dir' means 'to you' when speaking to a friend or family member, and 'Ihnen' means 'to you' when speaking formally.
Lesson#3
A classic example is asking how someone is. The phrase 'Wie geht es dir?' literally means 'How goes it to you?'. It's the standard, informal way to ask 'How are you?'.
