Translation: Aus einem Laden?

[NogoBogo]

Is there a difference between von and aus in this case?

[AnthonyNoel]

"Be careful not to confuse Laden and Geschäft"

I thought these were both terms for store/shop/business and were interchangeable

[-Herbstzeitlose-]

They are.

[wataya]

yep.

[AmandaSieg5]

Indeed, "Aus einem Geschäft?" is accepted.

[Tom442002]

VON instead of AUS - why or why not - somebody??!!

[AmitKabiraj]

I also want to know!!!

[suzen90]

Why einem? Is it die Laden, so einem Laden?

[reconnoisance]

Because is a prepositional phrase aus is a dative preposition forces the sentence in dative ein=einemthe Noun
Laden is masculine

I hope that helps

What is the actual purpose of grammatical cases in German? In other languages that I speak the cases are completely disjoint from prepositions, any combination is theoretically possible but it carries different meaning.

I am having the same trouble

[marijuslau]

aus vs von here?

[Heidi815736]

Im having real trouble with understanding when to use "ein" "einen" "einem", etc. Can anyone help?

[aryayawe]

"ein", "einen", "einem"...etc are the word for indefinite articles, e.g. "a/an".

Nominative case: masc/fem/neuter = ein/eine/ein
Masculine - "Das ist ein Hund", This is a dog
Feminine - "Das ist eine Katze", This is a cat
Neuter - "Das ist ein Buch", This is a book

Accusative case: masc/fem/neuter = einen/eine/ein
Masculine - "Ich habe einen Hund", I have a dog
Feminine - "Ich habe eine Katze", I have a cat
Neuter - "Ich habe ein Buch", I have a book

Dative case: masc/fem/neuter = einem/einer/einem
Masculine - "Ich komme aus einem Baum", I come from a tree
Feminine - "Ich komme aus einer Schule", I come from a school
Neuter - "Ich komme aus einem Haus", I come from a house

To quote 'aus" is used to indicate origins that you can enter, that are a material and that are human made geographical entities, "von" is used for origins which cannot be entered ... like people'

.... Giggity

[llupasc]

sometimes Geschäft is accepted as store, sometimes not. Weird duolingo

[Milica.Kamilica]

Indeed. There was a practice with a picture "Write 'the store' in German", and I wrote "das Geschaeft", but it was wrong. And correct solution was "der Laden". Was!?
And I could only "Report if the picture does not match the word"... Funny!

[ThomasDScott]

So it looks like "Das Geschäft" means the business, which can also be taken as a store.

[PawelKrucz]

can some body explain why this is dativ not akusativ ??
form a shop is question was so what ??

[Mozyi]

Because preposition aus is always with dativ.

[yvonneflaccus]

Why is "Aus der Laden?" a wrong translation?

[NogoBogo]

Well, for one thing you would need an indefinite article, since it is asking for a translation to "from A store", not "from THE store".

Also, "Laden" is a masculine noun, and since "aus" necessitates the dative, you would need the dative masculine "einem". I think you would use "der" if it was a feminine noun. ("aus der Apotheke", for example)

[FzzajW7f]

from a store

[CharafFergali]

When do we use aus and when do we use von ?

[shahbaz421501]

Why von isnt accepted?
