    Is "den" the acusative of "der"?

                "Du magst den Apfel" does it really mean "you like the apple" as well as "you like that apple"?

                  so "den" means both "the" and "that" ?

                    Yes, when you have something like: Du magst den Apfel, den ich dir geschenkt habe. You like the apple, that I have give you as a gift.

                      Why (den) or ein

                        "Du magst den Apfel" vs "Du mogt(umlaut) den Apfel" Don't both translate to You like the apple?

                        Mo:gt is for ihr, magst is for du. It is just the way conjugation works
