Common Mistakes

  • Ja, für der Businessklasse.

    für always takes the accusative, not the dative; the correct article is die.

  • Ja, für das Businessklasse.

    Businessklasse is feminine, so the article must be die, not das.

  • Ja, für die Businessklassen.

    The singular is needed unless you really mean “the business classes.”

Alternatives

  • Ja, ich nehme die Businessklasse.

    Yes, I’ll take the business class.

  • Ja, bitte die Businessklasse.

    Yes, please the business class.

  • Genau, für die Businessklasse.
