1

Kannst (Können)

This is a modal verb meaning 'can' or 'to be able to,' which moves to the first position in a question and pushes the main verb to the end.

2

Dative 'mir'

The verb 'schicken' (to send) takes an indirect object in the dative case, which is 'mir' (to me) in this context.

3

Accusative Plural

'Deine kompletten Daten' is the direct object in the accusative case; since 'Daten' is plural, the adjective and pronoun endings reflect that.

✕Common Mistakes

  • Kannst du mir bitte dein kompletten Daten schicken?

    'Daten' is plural, so the possessive pronoun must be 'deine' to match the case and number.

  • Kannst du mir bitte deine kompletten Daten zu schicken?

    Modal verbs like 'kannst' do not require 'zu' before the infinitive at the end of the sentence.

Cultural Tip
