What the analysis shows
Every part of the sentence
Subject, verb, objects and adverbials, each named with its role in the sentence.
Cases explained
Nominative, accusative, dative or genitive for every noun phrase, and what requires it: a preposition, a verb, or the phrase's role in the sentence.
Word order made clear
Verb-second order, the sentence bracket, and the verb at the end of subordinate clauses.
Long sentences split into clauses
Clauses introduced by dass, weil, ob, wenn or a relative pronoun are separated and analyzed one at a time.
Example analysis
This is the kind of result you get. Each part of the sentence is named, then broken down into its words and forms, and what they do.
Structure: time adverbial + finite verb + subject + adverbials + past participle (verb-second word order)
- Gestern: adverb of time, "yesterday". It takes the first position, so the finite verb comes next and the subject moves after it.
- bin: the auxiliary sein (first person singular, present), the finite verb in second position. Intransitive verbs of motion from A to B, such as gehen, form the Perfekt with sein.
- ich: subject, nominative.
- mit meinen Freunden: adverbial, who with
- mit always takes the dative: meinen Freunden is dative plural (in the dative plural, nouns add -n unless the plural already ends in -n or -s: Freunde → Freunden).
- ins Kino: adverbial of direction
- ins = in + das; in takes the accusative for a direction (where to?).
- gegangen: past participle of gehen, at the end of the clause (the sentence bracket).
Meaning: "Yesterday I went to the cinema with my friends."
How it works
- Paste one German sentence (up to 600 characters) and press Analyze sentence.
- An AI model, given a fixed analysis format, splits the sentence into its parts and explains each word form.
- The analysis appears as it is written. Copy it, or analyze the next sentence.
The analysis is AI-generated. It is reliable for standard written German, but can be wrong on slang, typos or unusual word order. Check anything important with a teacher or Duden or the DWDS.
