Key Grammar Structures
-
Ihr kennt euch nicht
➔ Personal Pronouns and Verb Conjugation
➔ Use of the personal pronoun "ihr" (you, plural informal) and the present tense conjugation of the verb "kennen" (to know) "kennt" (you know). This demonstrates basic subject-verb agreement.
-
Ihr trefft den gleichen Ton
➔ Accusative Case with Definite Article and Adjective Agreement
➔ The phrase "den gleichen Ton" uses the accusative case because "Ton" (tone) is the direct object of "trefft" (meet/hit). "Den" is the masculine accusative definite article, and "gleichen" is the adjective "gleich" (same) inflected to agree with the accusative masculine noun.
-
Aus einem Herz das eine Lied
➔ Prepositional Phrase with Dative Case and Nominative Case
➔ "Aus einem Herz" (from a heart) uses the dative case after the preposition "aus" (from). The noun "Herz" (heart) is neuter, and in the dative case, the indefinite article becomes "einem". Then the phrase, "das eine Lied" (the one song) uses the neuter nominative because "Lied" is the subject.
-
Ist da jemand, jemand da draußen?
➔ Existential "Es" and Question Formation
➔ The use of "da" implies "there" and "ist" (is) indicates existence. The construction "Ist da jemand?" literally means "Is there someone?". The inversion of the verb "ist" and the pronoun creates the question.
-
Über all den Wellen und gegen den Strom
➔ Prepositions with Accusative and Dative Case
➔ "Über" (over) and "gegen" (against) are prepositions that can take either the accusative or dative case depending on the context. Here, they imply movement or direction, taking the accusative. Thus, "Wellen" (waves) and "Strom" (current) are in the accusative case - "all den Wellen" and "den Strom"
-
Das hält ein Leben lang
➔ Subject-Verb Agreement and Time Expressions
➔ "Das hält" demonstrates subject-verb agreement. "Das" (that) is the singular neuter pronoun and "hält" (holds/lasts) is the third-person singular present tense form of the verb "halten". "Ein Leben lang" is an expression indicating duration (a lifetime).
