Questions & Answers about Darüber hinaus bekommen Sie einen tollen Rabatt.
Why does bekommen come before the subject Sie?
Because Darüber hinaus takes up the first position in the sentence. In German main clauses, the conjugated verb must always be in the second position. This pushes the subject Sie into the third position.
Can I use außerdem or zudem instead of darüber hinaus here?
Yes, they are mostly interchangeable and all mean furthermore or in addition. However, darüber hinaus (literally beyond that) sounds a bit more formal and emphatic, which fits perfectly when a company is offering a special business perk like a discount.
Could I put darüber hinaus in the middle of the sentence instead?
Yes, you could say Sie bekommen darüber hinaus einen tollen Rabatt. Placing the connector at the very beginning just puts more focus on the fact that you are adding an extra benefit. Notice that darüber hinaus always stays together as a single phrase, taking up exactly one 'slot' in the sentence.
Why do we say einen tollen Rabatt with the -en ending on both words?
Rabatt is a masculine noun (der Rabatt). Because it is the direct object here (the thing you are getting), it is in the accusative case. For masculine accusative nouns following an indefinite article like ein, both the article and the descriptive adjective must take the -en ending.
