| Da - Compounds | |
| All of the accusative prepositions except "entlang," "ohne" and "bis" form what are called "da-compounds" to express what would be a prepositional phrase in English. Da-compounds are not used for people (personal pronouns). Prepositions beginning with a vowel add a connecting r. See the examples below. | |
| THING | PERSON |
| dadurch through it, by it | durch ihn/sie through him/her |
| dafür for it | für ihn/sie for him/her |
| dagegen against it | gegen ihn/sie against him/her |
| darum for that reason | um ihn/sie around him/her |
