Where is dative used in German?

Where is dative used?

The dative denotes possession and is used with the verb “to be”.

 

What is the difference between accusative and dative prepositions?

If something is in a fixed position we use the dative case.

Example : Ich bin in der Klasse. I am in the class. 


 If the thing is moving around, or it is in action we use the accusative.

I am going into the class. Ich gehe in die Klasse. 

Here are some Dative Verbs: danken (to thank), fehlen (to be missing), geben (to give), gefallen (to like, to be pleasing to, to enjoy), gehören (to belong to), glauben (to believe), helfen (to help), passieren (to happen to), schmecken (to taste), and weh tun (to hurt).


Dative prepositions

bei, mit, von, zu, gegenüber, seit, aus, nach.

మైసూర్ విశ్వవిద్యాలయంలో గర్వించదగిన క్షణం

డాక్టర్ సర్వేపల్లి రాధాకృష్ణన్ భారతీయులందరికీ కనిపించేంత గొప్ప ఎత్తుకు చేరుకున్నారు. లేకపోతే మనలో ఎంతమంది ఆయన్ని చూసి ఉండేవాళ్ళం పట్టించుకుని ఉండేవాళ్ళం? 

ఆయన అత్యున్నత భారత రాష్ట్రపతి స్థానంలో నిలిచారు. జ్ఞానము వలన కూడా ఆయన అంతే ఉన్నత స్థానంలో నిలిచాడు. కానీ ఆయన రాష్ట్రపతి కాకపోతే ఎంతమంది పట్టించుకుని ఉండేవాళ్ళం.

మనమందరం అతని పుట్టినరోజును సెప్టెంబర్ 5న జరుపు కుంటాము, చాలా మంది ఉపాధ్యాయులు అతని గురించి మాట్లాడుతారు. చాలా మంది విద్యార్థులు కూడా అతని గురించి మాట్లాడ. చాలా ప్రేమ మరియు ప్రశంసలు కురిపిస్తారు. ఇలా మాట్లాడేవారిలో, శ్రోతల్లో నిజజీవితంలో ఎంతమందికి అభిమానం ఉంటుంది? 

 మనలో ఎంతమందికి ఆయన పనిచేసిన యూనివర్సిటీలో ఆయన స్థానం, కుర్చీ చూడాలనే కోరిక ఉంటుంది? వారిలో మైసూర్ యూనివర్సిటీలో ఆయన సీటు ఆయన పని చేసే సీటు వద్దకు ఎంతమంది అదృష్టవంతులు వెళ్లగలుగు తారు? చాలా కొద్దిమంది. అందులో నేను ఒకడిని. 

Professor of philosophy and Chairman, Dr. Daniel  who occupied same cahir as Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan who sits in the same place where Sarvepalli sat took us to the philosophy classroom where Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan taught. It was a very emotional experience. 

నాకు అవకాశం వచ్చింది. అది గొప్ప గౌరవం, మరచిపోలేని అనుభవం. అక్కడ తత్వశాస్త్ర ప్రొఫెసర్. డేనియల్ గారిచే గౌరవించబడటం గొప్ప సన్మానం.

English - German - Award Artikel

 3. Dezember Am Sonntag habe ich den Abdulkalam Excellency Preis im Program organiesert von X ray,  eine  berühmte Kulturorganisation  von Andhrapradesh  erhalten – die andere Empfänger kamen aus weit entfernten Orten wie Rajahmundry, Bobbili und Hyderabad. Sie sind alle sehr großzügige Menschen aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen – ein Arzt, ein Filmschauspieler und ein Sozialarbeiter.  

December 3rd, On Sunday I received the Abdulkalam Excellency Award in the program organized by X ray, a famous cultural organization of Andhra Pradesh - the other recipients came from far away places like Rajahmundry, Bobbili and Hyderabad. They are all very generous people from different fields - a doctor, a film actor and a social worker.




Herr Raju aus Bobbili spendet sein gesamtes Gehalt an die Armen und lebt vom Gehalt seiner Frau. Frau Usha von der Postabteil ung ernährt 10 Waisenkinder. Ich habe private Bildungseinrichtungen und Straßenreparaturen kostenlos unterstützt, aber es ist viel weniger. Sie betrachteten hauptsächlich meine Schriften.

Mr. Raju from Bobbili donates his entire salary to the poor and lives on his wife's salary. Mrs. Usha from the postal department feeds 10 orphans. I have supported private educational institutions and road repairs free of charge, but it is much less. They mostly looked at my writings

Von einer solchen Auszeichnung kann ich nicht einmal träumen. Ich habe mehrere Auszeichnungen von der Regierung sowie von Akademien und Kulturverbänden erhalten. Auszeichnungen sind für mich nichts Neues. Ich habe auch zwei Wortrekorde erreicht.

I can't even dream of such an award. I have received several awards from the government, as well as from academies and cultural associations. Awards are nothing new to me. I have also achieved two word records.

Aber der Abdul Kalam Excellency Award ist etwas anderes, denn er ist der wahre Held, den ich jeden Tag liebte, bewunderte und an den ich mich erinnerte. Im ersten Kapitel meines Weltrekord-Romans „Bharatavarsha“ habe ich ein Gedicht über ihn geschrieben, in dem ich seine Persönlichkeit und seine Leistungen abgebildet. So habe ich ihn mit meinem Magnum Opus verbunden.

But the Abdul Kalam Excellency Award is different because he is the real hero whom I loved, admired and remembered every day. In the first chapter of my world record breaking novel Bharatavarsha,           I wrote a poem about him depicting his personality and achievements. This is how I linked him to my magnum opus.

Der Abdulkalam Excellency Award hat ihn mit meinem Leben verbunden. Es gab mir ein Gefühl der Erfüllung und hob meinen Geist auf eine andere Ebene sozialer Verantwortung. Der Name des großen Helden Indiens sendet endlose Schwingungen in meinem Herzen.

The Abdulkalam Excellency Award has connected him with my life. It gave me a sense of fulfillment and lifted my spirit to another level of social responsibility. The name of the great hero of India sends endless vibrations in my heart.

Das Leben eines Fremden - The night I saved a stranger's life

 

Die Nacht, in der ich einem Fremden gerettet habe.


Ich hatte große Schwierigkeiten, das Leben eines Mannes zu retten. Schon viel früher wurde ich von Menschen gedemütigt, weil ich etwas Gutes getan hatte.

I had lot of trouble in saving a man's life. Much earlier I have faced humiliation from people for doing a good thing.
