Das (demonstrative pronoun)

Refers to a neutral noun or situation previously mentioned; it is in the nominative case as the subject.

kann (modal verb)

Modal verb meaning 'can' or 'is able to'; it is conjugated for the third‑person singular and is followed by an infinitive.

3

wichtige (attributive adjective)

Common Mistakes

  • Das kann wichtiger Infos liefern.

    The adjective must agree with the plural noun 'Infos' and therefore takes the weak ending -e, not -er.

  • Das kann wichtige Info liefern.

    When you refer to more than one piece of information, use the plural 'Infos' (or the full 'Informationen').

  • Das kann liefern wichtige Infos.

    In German the infinitive verb follows the modal verb; the correct order is 'kann ... liefern'.

Alternatives

Cultural Tip

In German business communication, the short form 'Infos' is common in spoken language and informal emails, but in formal reports you should use the full 'Informationen'. Also, avoid overusing modal verbs like 'kann' in very formal writing; a more precise verb such as 'bereitstellen' (to make available) can sound more professional.
