Understanding the German Article and Pronoun Ihr

Understanding the German Article and Pronoun Ihr Frequently now and again German students are confounded about „ihrâ€Å" (and companions). No big surprise since entering „ihrâ€Å" into google decipher gives us the accompanying rundown: hertheiryour (Sir/Ma’am)to heryou-all In the event that I have five choices to browse in some other than my local language, I’d be confounded as well. Fortunately I grew up with German. Be that as it may, you presumably have not been so blessed (from a language learning perspective obviously) so let me bring some light into your obscurity. The issue is the missing mindfulness with respect to the contrasts between an article and a pronoun.â If I isolate the above rundown of potential interpretations into these two classifications things will get a piece more clear as of now:  Article  Pronounâ  her (vehicle)  to her (can’t put „carâ€Å" hereâ  their (vehicle)  all of you (can’t put „carâ€Å" here)â  your (Sir/Ma’am)   A couple of models:  â  Ihre Mutter kommt am Wochenende zu Besuch.â â â  Her/Their/Your mom stays with this weekend.â â â  Notice that there’s no distinction in „ihreâ€Å" whether you state „herâ€Å", „theirâ€Å" or „yourâ€Å".  â  Ich gebe ihr einen Kuss.   â â  I give her a kissâ â  There is no thing after „ihrâ€Å"  â  Ihr kã ¶nnt hier nicht bleiben.   â â  You (individuals) can’t stay here.â â  â There is no thing after „ihrâ€Å" On the off chance that you can recognize an article from a pronoun, you improve your odds of settling on the correct decision. Do you know what the distinction between these two is? An article is never on it’s own. It is consistently (!) joined by a thing (words that can have  â  a „theâ€Å" before them like „the carâ€Å"). Articles come in different structures: der, ein-, mein-, kicks the bucket , welch-, kein-A pronoun stands professional thing for example for a thing which implies that it makes any thing redundant.â With „ihrâ€Å" this is somewhat precarious yet let me take another pronoun to represent this.  â  „sein Autoâ€Å"â â  â â  vsâ â  â â  „ihnâ â â â his vehicle  him (vehicle?) Testing your comprehension Would you be able to distinguish the pronouns and the articles in the accompanying sentences?  â  Sie fragte ihren Mann nach seiner Meinung.â â  Aber ihr Mann antwortete ihr nicht.â â  She approached her better half for his assessment.  But her significant other didn’t answer her.  [Scroll down to the finish of this article to discover the answer.] Did you discover all pronouns and articles? Great. At that point let’s proceed onward. Endings Presently what’s with the endings? Articles just as pronouns can have endings and those rely upon the thing that they are going with or supplanting. Two models:  â  Kennst du ihren Mann?    Do you know her husband?â â  Nein, ihren kenne ich nicht, aber deinen.â  No, hers I don’t know, yet yours. You will have seen that the article „ihren (Mann)â€Å" just as the pronoun „ihrenâ€Å" do both have a similar completion as the two of them allude to „Mannâ€Å". Linguistically speaking „Mannâ€Å" is manly and remains in the accusative case. However, taking a gander at the English interpretation you will understand that there is a reasonable contrast between those as an examination of „herâ€Å" and „hersâ€Å" appear. So far it even appears that it doesn’t matter at all whether we have an article before us or a pronoun. That calls for one more model:  â  Magst du ihr Auto?â â  Do you like her vehicle?  â  Nein, ihres mag ich nicht, aber deins.â  No, hers I don’t like, yet yours. What's more, presently we at long last have a distinction. The accompanying table ought to represent the distinctions in another structure:   Article  Pronoun manly  ihr.x Mann   ihrer fix  ihr.x Auto   ihres female  ihre Freundin  ihre plural   ihre Freundinnen  ihre Another intriguing perception is that a pronoun consistently has an article finishing while an article now and again doesnt (ihr.x Mann). This is because of the way that there are three cases wherein there is no completion toward the finish of an article:   masc.â â  â â  neuterâ â  â â  feminineâ â  â â  plural Nominativeâ â  ein  einâ â  â â  Accusativeâ  ein Dative Genitive In these three cases the accompanying articles don't get an ending:â ein, mein (and all articles of a similar family: dein, sein, ihr, unser, euer, ihr), kein In every other case they generally have a consummation which relates with those of the pronouns. Outline To sum up: articles and pronouns oftenâ look the same and must be recognized by their friend or an absence of it.article-and pronoun endings just contrast in three cases (see last table)pronouns supplant a thing and in this manner are never found straightforwardly close to a thing This video encourages you a bitâ with the fundamental (individual) pronouns, er, es and sie. Lã ¶sung from above:  â  Sie (pronoun) fragte ihren Mann (article) nach seiner Meinung (article).  â â  Aber ihr Mann (article) antwortete ihr (pronoun) nicht.
