Word Order

Today we will have a look at the word order:

I	hoaß	Xaver.	Hoaß	i	Xaver?	Wei	i	Xaver	hoaß.
S	V	O	V	S	O		S	O	V

In normal sentences, the word order is Subject – Verb – Object. But in a questions, the verb moves to the first position. In subordian clauses the verb moves to the end.
Even when having more words, it is usually only the verb which moves around.

Time adverbs stand usually between the subject and the object (as long they are not stressed).
I mog oiwaj a Bier.       Du bist manchmoj auf da Erdn.       Er hot nia Fieber.

Dativ

Now we also have seen a second object appearing: the dativ object:
Du gibst mia a Buitl.       Er gibt dia an Radi.       Gebn mia am Kirk a Bier?
The word order is now: S – V – O_dat – O_akk     (In questions: V – S – O_dat – O_akk ?)

Until now, you only have learned the accusative object. The nouns usually don't change their endings, but the articles change from case to case:

Nominativ:	fem.	masc.	neutr.	plural
definite:	de (Dia)	da (Disch)	as (Fenster)	de (Ohrn)
indefinite:	a (Dia)	a (Disch)	a (Fenster)
Dativ:
definite:	da (Dia)	am (Disch)	am (Fenster)	de (Ohrn)
indefinite:	a (Dia)	an (Disch)	am (Fenster)
Accusativ:
definite:	de (Dia)	an (Disch)	as (Fenster)	de (Ohrn)
indefinite:	a (Dia)	an (Disch)	a (Fenster)

Dative Pronouns:

Singular:	i → mia (me)	du → dia (you)	sie / er → ihr / eam (her/him)
Plural:	mia → uns (us)	ihr → euch or eich (you)	sie → eahna (them)
