Transcript

In German, you is du. And depending on whether you're talking to one person or several people, whether you're speaking formally or informally, and what role you has in the sentence, the form changes. So you have du, dich, dir. For example, du in, "du bist müde", dich in "ich sehe dich", und dir in "Ich helfe dir". And then there are the possessive forms: dein, deine, deinem, deinen, Deines. For example, Deinem in "mit deinem bruder". And if you're talking to several people: ihr, euch, euer, eure, eurem, euren, eures. For example, eurem in "mit eurem freund". And then there's formal you: Sie, Ihnen, ihr, ihre, ihrem, ihren, ihres. For example, Ihnen in "ich helfe ihnen". And then all the variations start appearing everywhere: du, dich, dir, dein, deine, deinem, deinen, euer, eure, eurer, eurem, euren, Sie, ihnen, ihr, ihre.
