On Sunday, the 12th of March 2023 jay asked:
shouldn't it be euren Pässen?
On Thursday, the 9th of May 2024 Konstantin asked:
Why not can I say 'Deinen Sohn haben ich nicht gesehen' ? :) It seems like a bulshit
On Thursday, the 9th of May 2024 German Exercises replied:
Hi, Konstantin.
Because German deinen is the Akkusative form for English your, BUT, if you are a single person,
like: deinen Sohn.
But if you are more than one person, than German Akkusative masculine for your will be
euren, i.e.: euren Sohn,
Compare the following three sentences:
1. Hi, Tom. I have seen your son today. = Hi, Tom. Ich habe heute deinen Sohn gesehen.
2. Good day, Mr Wolker. I have seen Your son today. = Guten Tag, Herr Wolker. Ich habe heute Ihren Sohn gesehen.
3. Hi, Tom and Maria. I have seen your son today. = Hi. Tom und Maria. Ich habe heute euren Sohn gesehen.
So,
1. you are talking to a single person, informally, like to your friend, child,...
2. you are talking to a single person, formally, like your teacher, director, client, ...
3. you are talking to more than one person,
And, to answer that sentence correctly you have to look what it says in the brackets:
your(pl.) - plural (euren), your(sg.) - singular (deinen), Your - formal (Ihren).
