✕Common Mistakes

  • Du kannst es dein Service hinzufügen.

    The dative case requires ‘deinem’, not the nominative ‘dein’.

  • Du kannst es zu dein Service hinzufügen.

    Both the preposition ‘zu’ and the article need the dative ending ‘-em’.

  • Du kannst es deinem Service hinzu fügen.

    When the infinitive follows a modal verb, the prefix stays attached (hinzufügen).

↔Alternatives

Cultural Tip

‘Service’ is an English loanword that is widely used in German IT and business contexts. Using the informal ‘du’ is common among colleagues, but switch to ‘Sie’ in formal customer‑service situations. Remember the dative case after ‘zu’ or when indicating the recipient of an addition.
