"In dem Laden"

Translation: In the store

[nuklrbbq]

What's the difference between "im dem Laden" and "im Laden"? Is it a matter of emphasis?

[wataya]

'im dem Laden' is wrong. You probably meant 'In dem Laden'. 'Im' is a contraction of 'in'+'dem'.

[DanyDin]

whats the diffrence in the meaning between saying im laden and in das laden?
just in the bedeutung.
regards

[auntbecky13]

im Laden (inside the store) is Dativ, while in das Laden is Akkusativ (into the store)

[slendro]

Why wouldn't "at the store" be correct?

[zengator]

If you are at the store, you are not necessarily inside the store.

[El_Adrians]

Why "Inside the drawers" is not correct?

[zengator]

"Drawers" appears to be a regional and/or Austrian usage of "Laden".

[CaptainPike]

Would "in dem Laden" mean the same thing as "im Laden"?

[zengator]

Ja.

[MuhammadWa302805]

Why in dem?? Why not im directly??

[zengator]

You could use "im".
