"Wohin geht dein Sohn mit meiner Tochter?"

Translation: Where is your son going with my daughter?

[Eshgoel2012]

why is it 'meiner' in this case?

[Levi]

@Eshgoel2012 : die / meine Tochter = the / my daughter
The 'die' changes to der in the dative case. And the -r from the 'der' gets attached to the meine = meiner → meiner Tochter = my daughter.

EDIT 2014.10.31 : Take into consideration the comments below - and see this link too: http://german.about.com/library/blcase_dat.htm

Excuse me but here meiner is dative, not genitive.

[izygray]

Doesn't mit take the Dative?

[Levi]

@izybit : Yes it does.
(NOTE: I've edited my comment.)

[Indy266]

For anyone who cannot use the link mentioned by Levi, this is the dative table.

M for masculine e.g. Meinem Sohn

R for feminine e.g. Meiner Tochter

M for neuter e.g. Meinem Mädchen

N for plural e.g. Meinen Geschwester

Edit: Oh my! I hadn't checked this thread in a long time and I didn't realize I had this many upvotes, thank you!

And what is wrong with "To where goes your son with my daughter."

[CliffJonesJr]

"Whither goeth thine heir alongside my progeny?"

[OrchidBlack]

Wouldn't it be whither goest? :)

[CliffJonesJr]

Nope, "goest" was the "thou" form. You know, like "du gehst"? "Goeth" was the equivalent of "geht".

[S0R0USH]

Wow... it's funny how you see the old germanic routes in old english. The h is just moved around with the O removed. lol

[jdacronym]

It's like running into English's second cousin at a party.

[BenjaminTs]

Doesn't sound like normal English

[sharat.nambissan]

And what about - "Where goes your son with my daughter ?" Sounds a bit dramatic, I know - but the situation for confronting another German father is not going to be any less dramatic, is it ?

[chetlin]

In English, for most verbs, you can't just invert subject and verb to get a question, you have to first add the correct form of do and then invert that word with the subject. "Where does your son go..."

[Nullroar]

But understand, you must:
English, a most versatile language can be.

Use the Force, you should.

[nateVONgreat]

when is it "wohin" or "wo" ?

[Pfiff]

"Wohin" means (roughly) "where to". It's used for directions and movement, as with this sentence. "Wo" just means "where". It's used for a simple placement of something, without any actions. "Wo wohnst du?" means "Where do you live?" (static), whilst "Wohin gehst du?" means "To where are you going?" (dynamic).
