Ja (affirmation)
Used to confirm or agree with a previous statement, similar to 'yes' in English.
das ist (demonstrative + verb)
‘das’ refers to a previously mentioned thing; ‘ist’ is the 3rd person singular of ‘sein’.
nächsten Freitag (temporal accusative)
When indicating a future point in time, German often uses the accusative case without an article; ‘nächsten’ is the strong declension of ‘nächster’.
fällig (predicative adjective)
‘fällig’ means ‘due’ or ‘payable’; it is used predicatively after ‘sein’ to describe a deadline.

✕Common Mistakes
Ja, das ist nächster Freitag fällig.
When used as a temporal expression without an article, the adjective takes the accusative strong ending ‘-en’.
Ja, das ist zu nächsten Freitag fällig.
‘zu’ is not used with ‘fällig’; the correct construction is ‘fällig sein’.
Ja, das fällig ist nächsten Freitag.
The verb ‘sein’ must precede the adjective: ‘ist fällig’, not ‘fällig ist’.
