Questions & Answers about Dein Vorschlag ist durchaus sinnvoll und einfach.
Dein is the possessive form that goes with du (informal singular “you”). It shows:
- The speaker is addressing one person.
- The relationship is informal/close (friend, family member, colleague on a first-name basis).
Alternatives:
- Ihr Vorschlag (capital Ihr) → formal Sie (“your suggestion” when speaking politely to one or more people).
- euer Vorschlag → informal plural ihr (“your suggestion” when talking informally to several people at once).
So:
- Dein Vorschlag ist … → “Your (informal, one person) suggestion is …”
- Ihr Vorschlag ist … → “Your (formal) suggestion is …”
- Euer Vorschlag ist … → “Your (informal, several people) suggestion is …”
In German, all nouns are capitalized, regardless of their position in the sentence.

- der Vorschlag
- Dein Vorschlag ist …
- Ich habe einen Vorschlag.
