Episode notes
Ordering Coffee
- Order a coffee in German by saying "einen Kaffee, bitte".
- This is more polite than simply saying "Kaffee, bitte."
Accusative Case
- "Einen Kaffee" uses the accusative case because the coffee is the object of the sentence.
- The masculine indefinite article changes from "ein" to "einen" in the accusative.
Feminine and Neuter Articles
- Feminine and neuter articles do not change in the accusative case.
- For example, "eine Suppe" (a soup) remains "eine Suppe" when ordered.
