I put "your husband" and it was correct

I like to imagine a girl cocking her head while doing a Z-snap with her finger saying "Your Man is eating all the bread! Mmmmmhmm!"

But yeah, for colloquial, Husband would be better

Yes -- I'm wondering about the context here. Does it mean something in particular in German? "Your man" isn't a common expression in English. Could mean your husband, your male friend (slang), your employee (not very PC).

Do you mean the possessive pronoun? It goes to the gender of the noun it refers to , not necessarily the person. Usually, the person and gender of the noun match, as in the case of Dein Mann. But not always -- for instance "my girl" -- since Madchen is neuter, it would be "mein Mädchen", not "meine Mädchen".

As a fellow Norn Iron man, I can agree. I'm just waiting to see "yer doll isst das Brot" next. :D

What would you change? The Deine refers to the newspaper, because Zeitung is feminine. There isn't anything in the sentence that refers to your audience, so it wouldn't matter if you were speaking to a man or a woman, one person or many, formal or informal, would it?

No sir you cannot use 'den' instead of 'das'

Each noun has a gender: Masculine, Neuter and Feminine. Bread is neuter, Das Brot.

However that is not why we don't use 'den' First let's ask what is the difference between 'der' and 'den', because they both mean 'the' and both are used on masculine nouns.

The difference is that 'der' is used on Subject nouns, and 'den' is used on Accusative nouns. Subjects are performing the verb, Accusatives are receiving the action of the verb.

"The man wears the button" - The man is doing the wearing, so he is the subject. The button is being worn, so it is in the Accusative case.

Here's the example with the two nouns in German: Der Mann, und Der Knopf (button)

In german - "Der Mann tragt den Knopf" Notice how Der Knopf changed to Den Knopf. This is because Knopf is being worn, and thus is accusative.

SO!

Why do we say "Das Brot" ? Shouldn't that change in the accusative case, since after all the bread is being eaten by the man?

Well no.

http://german.about.com/library/blcase_acc.htm Scroll down a hair.

This lists all the instances when Der, Das, and Die change depending on the case Subjective, Accusative, etc..

In Accusative case, only Der changes to Den. The rest stay the same. In other cases, there are more changes. But for the accusative case, that is all.

Therefore Das Brot is correct.

Phew
