One day, I will learn the difference between nominative and accusative cases. Until then, I'm just gonna keep on guessing.
The (very) simple version is: Nominative for the subjet, accusative for the object ☺

No it's just part of the sentence, as far as I'm aware the hyphen is used mostly the same in German as it is in English.
What I mean is that a hyphen is not used this way in printed English. It would be incorrect.
I think the hyphen is used to signify that another person is speaking. When I've read novels in Portuguese, dialogue is not indicated by quotation marks as in English, but with long hyphens at the beginning of a new paragraph. This might also be the case in German.
—Welcher Mann?
—Dieser Mann!
Incidently, they have put a hyphen and it should actually be a dash. Just thought I'd toss that in...
Well now I'm wondering how Germans say the english/american? phrase to "welch on a bet/debt" every new word learned opens a new question of comparison to me lol is it important, no, but the mind wonders.

The voice translation does not match what is being said. After Welcher Mann, it says something that sounds like 'needles' I just took a guess and got it wrong. This should be corrected...
When adjectives come before nouns in German, they have to get a suffix, and this suffix depends on whether you have an indefinite article in front of the noun, a definite article in front of the noun, or no article, as well as the noun's gender and case, of course. Here is a helpful chart.
Why don't they give the full conjugation of the words instead of spreading it throughout the lessons?
