as you saw in the opening sequence
today's lesson is about genitive
prepositions if you need a lesson about
the basics of the genitive case i did
that last week and there is a link in
the description for that if you want to
take a deep dive into every single
detail about the entire genitive case
you can check out my genitive case
masterclass lessons which are linked in
the description genitive prepositions
are exactly what the name implies they
are prepositions that require the object
that follows them to be used with the
genitive case there are upwards of about
16 of these prepositions but there are
usually four listed in most german
textbooks as these are the most commonly
used ones i'll start today with those
and then i'll move on to the others
einstadt instead of
einstein
and farhad instead of a car i am buying
a bicycle dear yonga ist einen apfel
start eines kuchens the boy is eating an
apple instead of a cake as you can see
with these two examples the object that
follows the preposition is in the
genitive case inis autos and inus
kuchens you may have also noticed that
the second example i gave said stat
without the on at the beginning this is
also an acceptable version of this
preposition the meaning does not change
whatsoever it is just a personal
preference whether you say stat or
angstad twatz despite or in spite of
tots de quelta state
in spite of the cold he is standing in
the rain de lerren vida holt diane
veisengen trots the slams the teacher
repeats the instructions despite the
noise this preposition is used in a very
similar way to the english phrase in
spite of it shows a juxtaposition of one
thing versus the action taken varend
during
verentes storms
einen strom austral during the storm
there was a power outage ich bin
i fell asleep during the game who won
this one's a bit tricky because there is
also the conjunction veheven which is
used to express very similar concepts
the main thing to remember is that the
preposition veren is combined with a
noun while the conjunction varend is
combined with a subordinate clause
broccoli while i am eating ice cream my
sister is eating some broccoli i have a
video all about these kinds of
conjunctions and the clauses that they
cause you can find that linked in the
description as well in general you can
translate the sentence in english with
the word while when you need the
conjunction and not the preposition when
veren is used as a preposition it's
almost always translated in english as
during vegan because of
vegan de inflation costed my cafe finf
oil because of inflation my coffee cost
five euros freight daf vegan signus
house arrests nick mitcom
fred can't come along because of the
grounding or because he was grounded if
you mean to say because followed by a
phrase you probably need to use the
conjunction vile den or da instead of
the preposition vegan
echan mia kainen cafe leicesten via the
inflation des oils striked i cannot
afford a coffee because the inflation of
the euro is rising echan mia kainen cafe
leicesten then the inflation des oils
stayed i cannot afford a coffee because
the inflation of the euro is rising
daddy
because the inflation of the euro is
rising i cannot afford a coffee again
there is more information about these
conjunctions in the same video that i
mentioned about veren for today's video
just remember that when you say because
of followed by a noun you need to use
the preposition vegan when you follow it
with a clause you need to use a
conjunction like vail den or da now is
probably an opportune time to mention
that you will often hear the genitive
prepositions used with the dative case
instead of the genitive this is almost
exclusively in spoken german and is more
prevalent in certain areas than others
in my mind it's better to use the
genitive case than the dative case as
this is what the official guardians of
the german grammar dogma have said it
should be
just know that you might hear someone
say vegan sainam house arrest instead of
vegan ziness hausarests the four
prepositions that i have shown you so
far are usually the only ones in
textbooks this is partly because they
are the most used ones but it's also
partly because there are easier ways to
phrase most of the rest of the genitive
prepositions rather than teaching all of
these prepositions in the lower level
courses teachers and textbook creators
will opt to leave them for a much later
b1 b2 level lesson i like to be thorough
though so i'm going to teach them to you
