Questions & Answers about Mithilfe der Kollegin teile ich der Leiterin alles mit und reiche den Zettel ein.
Why is Mithilfe written as one word and capitalized?
Here it’s the preposition mithilfe (“with the help of”) which normally is written as one word and lowercase. It’s capitalized only because it starts the sentence. You can also write the two-word variant mit Hilfe (with the noun Hilfe), which is a bit more formal/neutral. Both are acceptable.
Which case does mithilfe take, and what is der Kollegin here?
mithilfe governs the genitive, so der Kollegin is genitive singular (feminine). Note: feminine genitive singular looks the same as feminine dative singular (der), so you know it’s genitive because of the preposition. A quick check with a masculine noun shows the difference clearly: genitive = mithilfe des Kollegen, dative = mit Hilfe von dem Kollegen.
Why is the verb split as teile … mit?
Because mitteilen is a separable verb. In a main clause, the finite verb is in second position and the separable prefix (mit) moves to the clause-final position: ich teile … mit. In a subordinate clause, the verb goes to the end and the prefix stays attached: …, weil ich ihr alles mitteile. The participle is mitgeteilt.
How do I know this is mitteilen and not teilen … mit (“to share with”)?
