✦Grammar Breakdown
EsgibttäglicheLimitsfürAbhebungen
Existenzverb 'geben'
The construction 'es gibt' is used to state that something exists; the verb 'geben' is impersonal and always takes the accusative.
Adjective declension
In 'tägliche Limits', the adjective 'täglich' takes the weak ending '-e' because it follows the indefinite article 'es' which does not provide a strong ending.
Plural noun
Limits is a plural noun borrowed from English; it requires the plural article 'die' in other contexts, but after 'es gibt' the noun stays in the accusative plural without an article.
Preposition 'für'
'für' governs the accusative case, so 'Abhebungen' is in the accusative plural.

✕Common Mistakes
Es gibt tägliche Limit für Abhebungen.
In German the plural of the English loanword is 'Limits', not 'Limit' when you refer to more than one limit.
Es gibt tägliche Limits bei Abhebungen.
The preposition 'für' is required to express 'for withdrawals'; 'bei' would change the meaning to 'during withdrawals'.
Gibt es tägliche Limits für Abhebungen.
When using the impersonal construction, the correct order is 'es gibt', not 'gibt es'.

Cultural Tip
German banks usually set a default daily ATM withdrawal limit (often €500–€1,000). Customers can request a higher limit at a branch or via online banking, but the bank may require a credit check. In casual conversation, Germans often use the abbreviation 'Tageslimit' instead of the full phrase.
