The most German graffiti ever
(beehaw.org)
Image description:
Picture with a slightly run-down looking church's front door on the right side of the picture, and on the left a section of the church's wall and a graffiti-covered dumpster in front of it.
On the wall is graffitied a 4x4 table with the columns labeled from left to right "M", "F", "N" and "PL" – for the masculine, feminine, neuter and plural forms. The rows are labeled from top to bottom "nom", "akk", "dat", "gen" for the nominative, accusative, dative and genetive cases. The corresponding definite articles are written out in the table each in its own spot (I hope screen readers don't barf with tables):
| M | F | N | PL | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NOM | DER | DIE | DAS | DIE |
| AKK | DEN | DIE | DAS | DIE |
| DAT | DEM | DER | DEM | DEN |
| GEN | DES | DER | DES | DER |
Es gibt wohl einige Länder, die den Akkusativ zumindest in der Lateindidaktik nach den Nominativ setzen. Frag mich nicht, welche bahnbrechenden pädagogischen Erkenntnisse dazu geführt haben – macht in internationalen Lateinforen immer mal wieder etwas Konfusion, welches nun genau der "zweite Fall" ist...
