Questions & Answers about Wir diskutieren die Strategie für das neue Level miteinander.
What does miteinander mean here, and how is it formed?
miteinander means 'with each other' or 'together'. It is formed by combining the preposition mit (with) and the reciprocal pronoun einander (each other). Whenever you want to say you are doing something with each other, you fuse them into this single word.
Could I just say mit uns instead of miteinander?
No, that would change the meaning. mit uns means 'with us' (for example, if an outside person is discussing the strategy with your group). Because the subject is Wir (we) and the action is happening reciprocally between the members of that same group, you must use miteinander to mean 'with each other'.
I thought the verb diskutieren needed the preposition über. Why is it just die Strategie here?
diskutieren can actually be used in two ways. You can use it with über followed by the accusative case (Wir diskutieren über die Strategie), but it is also completely correct to use it with a direct accusative object, just like in English (Wir diskutieren die Strategie). Both mean the exact same thing.
Why does the adjective neu end in -e in für das neue Level?
The preposition für always requires the accusative case. Since Level is a neuter noun in German (das Level), we need the neuter accusative. After a definite article like das, the adjective takes the weak ending -e, giving us das neue Level.
Why is miteinander placed at the very end of the sentence?
In German, prepositional adverbs like miteinander usually go towards the end of the sentence. The direct object (die Strategie) and the prepositional phrase describing it (für das neue Level) stay close to the verb, pushing the detail of with whom the action is happening to the end of the clause.
