"You are welcome in my house."

Translation: Du bist in meinem Haus willkommen.

[AnitaWillo]

Can we not have the word order 'Du bist willkommen in meinem Haus?

I would also like to know this. I seem to remember something about the dative part of a sentence going first, but I'm a bit hazy about it.

Warum im ist falsch?

[ikwilvertalen]

"im" ist eine Abkürzung von "in" und "dem", und "in dem meinem Haus" macht doch keinen Sinn. (You wouldn't say "in the my house").

[pedros44]

"im" is a short form of "in dem". You can't say "in dem meinem Haus". Only "in dem Haus" or "in meinem Haus" are correct.
