Common Mistakes

  • Super, geh von dort durch das Torbogen.

    ‘Torbogen’ is masculine, so the correct accusative article is ‘den’, not ‘das’.

  • Super, geh von dort durch dem Torbogen.

    ‘Durch’ always takes the accusative; ‘dem’ is dative.

  • Super, geh von dort zu dem Torbogen.

    ‘Zu’ would mean ‘to’, not ‘through’. Use ‘durch’ for passing inside the arch.

Alternatives

Cultural Tip

In German, ‘Super’ is a very common, informal way to show approval, similar to ‘great’ or ‘awesome’ in English. The word ‘Torbogen’ is more architectural than everyday; in everyday speech people might simply say ‘Tor’ (gate) unless they want to emphasize the shape of the opening. Also, the imperative ‘geh’ is friendly but not overly formal—use ‘gehen Sie’ for a polite command.
