✦Grammar Breakdown
DerDJistfürSamstagbestätigt.
Der (definite article)
‘Der’ is the masculine nominative singular article, used here because ‘DJ’ is a masculine noun.
DJ (noun)
‘DJ’ (disc jockey) is a masculine noun in German and takes the article ‘der’.
ist (sein)
‘ist’ is the 3rd‑person singular present of ‘sein’ (to be) and links the subject with the predicate adjective.
für (preposition)
‘für’ always governs the accusative case; ‘Samstag’ stays unchanged because masculine nouns have the same form in nominative and accusative.
bestätigt (past participle)
Used predicatively with ‘sein’, the past participle functions like an adjective meaning ‘confirmed’.
🗨In Conversation

Is the DJ confirmed for Saturday?
Ja, der DJ ist für Samstag bestätigt.

✕Common Mistakes
Der DJ ist fürm Samstag bestätigt.
‘für’ always takes the accusative; do not use the dative form ‘fürm Samstag’ in standard German.
Der DJ bestätigt für Samstag.
Avoid using the verb form incorrectly: you need the past participle with ‘sein’, not the infinitive ‘bestätigen’.
DJ ist für Samstag bestätigt.
Never drop the article; ‘DJ’ is a countable noun and requires ‘der’ in the nominative singular.
↔Alternatives

The DJ is coming on Saturday.
Der DJ ist für Samstag eingeplant.
The DJ is scheduled for Saturday.
Der DJ ist für Samstag fest eingeplant.
The DJ is firmly scheduled for Saturday.
Cultural Tip
In German event planning it is common to use ‘bestätigt’ for anything that has received a written or verbal confirmation. For a more informal tone you might hear ‘fest’ or ‘klar’ (e.g., ‘Der DJ ist klar für Samstag’), but ‘bestätigt’ sounds professional and is preferred in business emails and contracts.
