1

Verb position

In a main clause the finite verb (sagt) occupies the second position.

2

Dative plural

"den Geräten" is dative plural, used because the verb "sagen" takes an indirect object.

3

Relative clause

The part "welches Netzwerk deins ist" is a relative clause introduced by the interrogative pronoun "welches".

4

Possessive pronoun "deins"

"deins" is a possessive pronoun that stands alone after the noun; it replaces "dein Netzwerk".

Comma rule

Common Mistakes

  • Es sagt den Geräten, welches Netzwerk dein ist.

    After the noun you need the standalone possessive pronoun "deins", not the attributive "dein".

  • Es sagt die Geräten, welches Netzwerk deins ist.

    "Geräten" is dative plural, so the article must be "den", not "die".

  • Es sagt den Geräten welches Netzwerk deins ist.

    A comma is mandatory before the subordinate clause.

Alternatives

  • Es teilt den Geräten mit, welches Netzwerk dir gehört.

    It informs the devices which network belongs to you.

  • Das System weist die Geräte an, welches Netzwerk zu benutzen ist.

    The system instructs the devices which network to use.

  • Es sagt den Geräten, welches Netzwerk dein ist.

    It tells the devices which network is yours.

Cultural Tip

German often places the indirect object in the dative case, even when the English equivalent would use "to". Also, possessive pronouns like "deins" can stand alone after the noun, a structure that sounds natural in German but may feel odd to English speakers.
