"The party does not cost you any money."

Translation: Die Party kostet dich kein Geld.

[TomRaptile]

Why isn't dich in dative?

The verb kosten puts both indirect and direct object into accusative case.

Sein Verhalten kostet (1) ihn (2) meinen Respekt.

1: ihn = indirect object in accusative case
2: meinen Respekt = dir. obj. in accus. case

"Die Partei kostet dich kein Geld" - shouldn't this be accepted, unless Partei means something different than Party?

[Daniel686693]

What you say is correct. There is no reason the sentence could not be referring to a political party.

Das Fest kostet dich kein Geld?

Why wouldn't "Die Party ist kostenlos" work?
