The German language has four cases:
Nominative, Accusative, Dative, and Genitive.
Each case is used to indicate the function of a noun in a sentence:
- Nominative case: for the subject of a sentence
- Accusative case: for the direct object of a sentence
- Dative case: for the indirect object of a sentence
- Genitive case: to show possession
