2

dir (dative)

✕Common Mistakes

  • Ich schicke dir die Details mit E‑Mail, okay?

    ‘mit’ is not used with ‘E‑Mail’ to express the means of sending; the correct preposition is ‘per’.

  • Ich schicke dir die Details zu E‑Mail, okay?

    ‘zu’ would indicate direction, not the medium of transmission.

  • Ich schicke dir die Details per E‑Mail okay?

    The word order is acceptable, but forgetting the comma before ‘okay?’ can make the sentence feel rushed; a pause is natural.

Cultural Tip

In German business communication ‘per E‑Mail’ is the go‑to phrase for indicating the transmission method. The tag ‘okay?’ is casual; in very formal settings you would replace it with ‘ist das in Ordnung?’ or ‘stimmt das für Sie?’. Also, avoid using ‘mit’ (e.g., *mit E‑Mail*) because ‘per’ is the idiomatic preposition for means of transport or communication.
