Questions & Answers about Dieses Beispiel ist sehr gut.
Why is it Dieses and not Dieser or Diese?
Beispiel is a neuter noun (das Beispiel). The German word for "this" changes its ending depending on the gender of the noun it attaches to. Because it is a neuter noun, we use dieses.
Why is Beispiel capitalized?
In German, every single noun (a person, place, thing, or idea) is always capitalized. Since Beispiel means "example," it is a noun and must start with a capital letter.
If I connect this to another sentence using und or aber, does the word order change?
No, it stays exactly the same! Words like und (and) and aber (but) take "Position 0." This means they sit completely outside the sentence structure. If you said, "... aber dieses Beispiel ist sehr gut," the subject dieses Beispiel is still in Position 1, and the verb ist stays in Position 2.
How do I pronounce the "ie" in Beispiel?
The letter combination ie in German always makes a long "ee" sound, exactly like the English word "bee." A handy trick: when you see ie or ei in German, you usually pronounce the English name of the second vowel!
