Episode #15

Lesson 15: The Cases in German: Nominativ

15.1 The Nominativ Refers to the Subject of the Sentence

The subject of the sentence is the person or thing which does the action in the sentence. It's the lead actor, if you will.

This, lucky for us, is the same in English and German.

Gisela drinks coffee.
Gisela trinkt Kaffee.

Gisela drinks the coffee; she is the person in the sentence who performs the action.

It also applies to things such as die Nachrichten or das Buch.

The news articles are informative.
Die Nachrichten sind informativ.

The book is long and interesting.
Das Buch ist lang und interessant.
